Graphical Abstract

Nuclear forensics was used to trace the history of two pieces of uranium metal, which are purported to originate from the first German nuclear reaction experiments in the 1940s. In their Communication on page 13452 ff., M. Wallenius et al. compared the macroscopic sample properties with literature information and determined the production date and source of the uranium samples.

Nuclear forensics was used to trace the history of two pieces of uranium metal, which are purported to originate from the first German nuclear reaction experiments in the 1940s. In their Communication on page 13452 ff., M. Wallenius et al. compared the macroscopic sample properties with literature information and determined the production date and source of the uranium samples.

Glycoproteins

In their Communication on page 13198 ff., Q.-Y. Hu, F. Micoli et al. present two methods for the preparation of glycoconjugate vaccines with one single sugar chain linked to one or two positions of a carrier protein.

Programmable Materials

A. Walther et al. describe in their Communication on page 13258 ff. how the autonomous self-regulation of a pH-responsive peptide hydrogelator by internal biocatalytic feedback results in dynamic hydrogels.

High-Pressure Phases

In their Communication on page 13332 ff., S. A. Moggach et al. explore the gas uptake of porous MOFs by using gases as pressure-transmitting media. A study with supercritical CH4 demonstrates two high-pressure phase transitions.
