  • Current oxidative dehydrogenation processes are based on petroleum cracking that is indirect, environmentally unfriendly, and energy intensive. Here, the authors discover that subnanometer sized cobalt oxide clusters are active for oxidative dehydrogenation of cyclohexane at lower temperatures than reported catalysts.

  • Catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of alkanes is limited by poor activity and/or selectivity. Efficient conversion of propane to propylene is now achieved using sub-nanometre Pt clusters stabilized on alumina supports. The clusters are shown to be substantially more active than conventional catalysts and are highly selective towards propylene formation.

  • 3d transition metal nanoparticles are of interest in fields ranging from spintronics, catalysis, and biomedicine. This paper provides a detailed picture of the oxidation of cobalt nanoparticles and benchmarks the development of models for the metal oxidation and magnetic phenomena at the nanoscale.

  • This article reviews recent progress in the synthesis and characterization of well-defined subnanometre clusters, and the understanding and exploitation of their catalytic properties, highlighting the potential of such clusters to provide insight into important catalytic processes and to form the basis of novel catalytic systems.

  • Ammar Al-Chalabi, Jan Veldink and colleagues perform a genome-wide association study for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 15,156 cases and 26,242 controls. They identify three new genome-wide-significant variants and establish ALS as a complex trait with a polygenic architecture, but with a distinct and important role for low-frequency variants.

  • Molecular chameleons adapt their conformations to the properties of the environment so that polar functionalities are dynamically shielded or exposed. This allows chameleons to display both high cell permeability and aqueous solubility, and to bind to their drug targets.
