What's New
Congratulations to ACS Food Science & Technology Deputy Editor and ACS Omega Editorial Advisory Board Member, Prof. Coralia Osorio Roa
We at ACS Omega offer heartfelt congratulations to ACS Food Science & Technology Deputy Editor and ACS Omega Editorial Advisory Board Member, Prof. Coralia Osorio Roa, who has been elected a Fellow of the Agricultural & Food Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. Very well deserved!
Congratulations to ACS Catalysis Editor-in-Chief and ACS Omega Editorial Advisory Board Member, Prof. Cathleen Crudden
The team would also like to congratulate ACS Catalysis Editor-in-Chief and ACS Omega Editorial Advisory Board Member, Prof. Cathleen Crudden, who has just been awarded the highest value Discovery Grant in Canada by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). The funding will be used to support her research in the development of organic coatings that bind to metal surfaces.
ACS Omega - In The News
Some artists are embracing 3D printing as a new medium, allowing them to create intricate 3D compositions that would be difficult to produce in any other way. However, the plastic-based materials utilized in most 3D printers require high temperatures for them to be workable. Now, researchers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a colorful new ink for 2D and 3D art made of mica pigments in alginate, a sugar derived from seaweed that forms a stable gel with heat.

Featured Articles
Katharina Landfester*, Stanislav Baluschev*, et al. Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Germany & Sofia University, Bulgaria, ACS Omega 2021, 6, 29, 18860-18867,
In this work, the authors realize all-optical temperature sensing within the narrow optical window for tissue by using the process of triplet-triplet annihilation photon energy up-conversion (TTA-UC) as a sensing tool.
Luke C.O. Prestowitz and Jiaxing Huang* Northwestern University, USA, ACS Omega 2021, 6, 29, 18663–18667, DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c02589
The article demonstrates a facile route to crosslinked graphene solids based on continuous flow gelation of graphene oxide in ethylene glycol. The authors have been able to realize an ambient-pressure synthetic route to macroscopic graphene solids with potential applications in energy storage, thereby mitigating the constraints of conventional solvothermal methods.
Krishna N. Ganesh, et al. IISER Pune, India, ACS Omega 2021, 6, 30, 19757-19770, DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c02451
The authors designed Cα/Cγ bimodal peptide nucleic acids that allowed the study of entirely new types of peptide nucleic acid-DNA complexes. Based on the choice of sequences on either side of the, the bimodal PNA's have potential to generate fused duplexes, triplexes, tetraplexes and extended two-dimensional assemblies with enhanced stability and augmented molecular recognition properties.
Ekaterina V. Skorb* et al. ITMO University, Russia, ACS Omega 2021, 6, 27, 17267-17275, DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c01124
The effect of the dye, sodium fluorescein, on the formation of self-assembled melamine cyanurate structure is investigated and calculated using Density Functional Theory and Molecular Dynamics.
Nicolas Vogel* et al. Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg, Germany and Universidad de Guanajuato, Mexico, ACS Omega 2021, ASAP, DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.1c02405
The authors investigate whether roughness of a surface induced by layer-by-layer coating allows an increased retention of liquid films within a porous surface and thus potentially increases the stability of ionic liquid films infused within a porous matrix in supported ionic liquid-phase catalysis.
