This month's LCGC Blog from Jonathan Shackman from the American Chemical Society (ACS) reflects on how early experiences with computer programming shaped the author’s understanding of fundamental logic, and how today’s artificial intelligence (AI) tools similarly shift the balance between mastering low-level processes and focusing on analytical goals.
Andrew Anderson, VP of innovation and informatics strategy at ACD/Labs, talks about how the scientific method is being redefined and the role the AI-digital-physical DMTA cycle plays.
Silica stationary phases are traditionally prepared through silanization, where silanol groups on the silica surface react with organosilanes to create chemically bonded layers, typically with hydrocarbon chains such as C18 or C8 for reversed-phase separations. A research team from the Department of Chemistry at the University at Buffalo introduced an alternative surface modification method that avoids silanization, using diazonium chemistry instead. LCGC International spoke to Luis A. Colón, corresponding author of the paper that resulted from the team's research, about the method.
