Princeton Chemistry

Congrats to the Mo Lab on their latest in @NatureSynthesis: “A general synthesis of tryptophan-crosslinked macrocyclic peptides enabled by a dual-functional directing group,” in collab with the Hammes-Schiffer Group.

For the paper: doi.org/10.1038/s44160…

In a pair of recent papers, the Torquato Group and @PrincetonMSE introduce an algorithm that treats predicting layered mosaic perovskite structure as an effective hard-particle packing problem.
