Copper-nickel nanowires could be perfect fit for printable electronics

Duke University chemists created a new set of flexible, electrically conductive nanowires from thin strands of copper atoms mixed with nickel. The copper-nickel nanowires, in the form of a film, condu...

Metals: Ironing out copper toxicity

Siderophores are small molecules allowing microorganisms to competitively acquire iron from soils, aquatic systems or host proteins. New research shows that a siderophore secreted by some bacterial pa...

Copper can protect against Alzheimer's disease

Researchers have provided unequivocal evidence that under conditions which are approximately similar to those found in the brain, copper can only protect against beta amyloid forming beta sheets and a...

Copper Facilitates Prion Disease

Scientists report that reducing copper in the body delays the onset of prion disease. Mice lacking a copper-transport gene lived significantly longer when infected with a prion disease than did normal...

Pure Nickel: High Grade Copper at Tower Property 4.3% Copper, 0.5g/t gold, 1.3% Zinc, 23.5g/t Silver Across 5.5m Including 8.4% Copper, 0.9g/t Gold, 2.4% Zinc, 44.6 g/t Silver Across 2.7m

TORONTO, March 19, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pure Nickel Inc. (TSX:NIC) is pleased to report on the Tower Property located in Manitoba. A press release, outlining a new intersection of high grade copp...

Copper's Previously Unknown Exit Strategy

The body rids itself of excess copper and other minerals by collecting them in the liver and excreting them through the liver’s bile. However, a new study suggests that when this route is impaired t...

Copper's previously unknown exit strategy from the body

Scientists have long known that the body rids itself of excess copper and various other minerals by collecting them in the liver and excreting them through the liver’s bile. However, a new study sug...

Fungal pathogenesis: Good copper, bad copper

Cryptococcus neoformans detoxifies copper to avoid an antimicrobial host response.

Copper-Catalyzed β-Boration of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds with Tetrahydroxydiborane.

The copper-catalyzed β-boration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds with tetrahydroxydiborane has been developed. This diboron reagent allows direct, efficient access to boronic acids and their d...

Copper(I)-Secondary Diamine Complex-Catalyzed Enantioselective Conjugate Boration of Linear β,β-Disubstituted Enones.

A copper(I)-chiral secondary diamine (L-e) complex catalyzes an enantioselective conjugate boration of β,β-disubstituted enones in high yields and up to 99% ee. Product chiral tertiary organoboronat...

Asymmetric β-Boration of α,β-Unsaturated N-Acyloxazolidinones by 2.2Paracyclophane-Based Bifunctional Catalyst.

An efficient copper-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate boration has been achieved by exploiting a new planar and central chiral bicyclic triazolium ligand. This protocol was highly efficient and gave a va...

Enantioselective β-Boration of Acyclic Enones by a 2.2Paracyclophane-Based N-Heterocyclic Carbene Copper(I) Catalyst.

A new planar and centrally chiral bicyclic 1,2,4-triazolium salt has been synthesized from [2.2]paracyclophane and phenylglycinol. The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) copper(I) complex generated in situ...
