Radar vision in the mapping of forest biodiversity from space

Satellite-borne radar systems are promising tools to obtain spatial habitat data with complete geographic coverage. Here the authors show that freely available Sentinel-1 radar data perform as well as standard airborne laser scanning data for mapping biodiversity of 12 taxa across temperate forests in Germany.

Metal-free photocatalytic cross-electrophile coupling enables C1 homologation and alkylation of carboxylic acids with aldehydes

Enhancing the sp³-hybridized character of molecular structures in drug discovery is paramount. Here, the authors introduce a deoxygenative cross-electrophile coupling technique that pairs easily accessible carboxylic acid-derived redox-active esters with aldehyde sulfonyl hydrazones, employing Eosin Y as an organophotocatalyst under visible light irradiation.

Heterogeneous stacking of nanodot monolayers by dry pick-and-place transfer and its applications in quantum dot light-emitting diodes

Several techniques exist for patterning a single densely packed layer of quantum dots onto a surface. Kim et al.now demonstrate a simple and reliable technique for transferring multiple monolayers, one-by-one, to form stacked multilayers of quantum dots of different types and sizes on a surface.

Late-stage chemoselective functional-group manipulation of bioactive natural products with super-electrophilic silylium ions

Determining the structure–activity relationships for complex structures can be quite challenging, but it is often the method by which many natural products are optimized for use as drugs. Now, the combination of a fluoroaryl borane catalyst, a phosphine additive and a silane reducing agent enables the late-stage selective modification of complex bioactive natural products in order to provide rapid access to a wide array of structures, and therefore functions.

Cerebro–costo–mandibular syndrome, CCMS, is a severe human multiple malformation disorder. Here, the authors report that mutations in SNRPBdisrupt the normal regulation of alternative splicing at this gene, and in so doing, may be responsible for the development of CCMS.

H₂O MegaMaser emission in NGC 4258 indicative of a periodic disc instability

Harnessing the resolving power of space very long baseline interferometry results in a link between 22 GHz H₂O MegaMaser emission and accretion activity in the thin disc around the nucleus of galaxy NGC 4258. The emission regions appear consistent with a periodic magneto-rotational instability in the disc.

The combination of carbene- and photocatalysis has enabled unorthodox routes to ketone syntheses, but usually requires engineered or activated substrates. Herein the authors present a carbene- and photocatalytic decarboxylative radical coupling of carboxylic acids and acyl imidazoles, in which the carboxylic acids are directly used as radical precursors.

They further show that yeast PARK9 protects cells from manganese toxicity, a known environmental risk factor for Parkinson's disease.
