The only liquid metal on the periodic table (at room temperature) that has changed the way we think on modern chemistry, introducing the concepts of pressure, vacuum and properties of gases, is mercury. Nevertheless, currently its high toxicity has made this element become a threat on public health. In this article we will describe the applications and hazards associated to this unique element.

Selenium is an essential micronutrient present in various organisms including human beings. This element may be found in different organic and inorganic metabolites, and selenocysteine (Sec) is the most important. The insertion of Sec in selenoproteins uses a unique mechanism that involves the recoding of the UGA codon. This process requires new RNA fragments like the selenocysteine insertion sequence (SECIS) in the mRNA. The function of many selenoproteins is not known completely; however, some of them are involved in intracellular redox signaling regulation, redoxhomeostasis and thyroid hormone metabolism. Se deficiency in humans affects human health and results in diseases such as cancer, Keshan disease and hormonal disfunctions.

Unlike inert matter in equilibrium, active matter such as biological organisms are out of equilibrium generating motion and assemblies from molecular interactions and chemical reactions in the nano and micro-scale. In the past, such properties were considered to be exclusive of living systems, however, developments in colloidal science have enabled to produce synthetic analogues known as active colloids capable of emulating these properties. In this article, we first introduce active colloids and Janus particles, the most well studied examples of this scientific field. Then, we briefly present the common methods to synthesize these particles and the description of the mechanism of propulsion at the single colloid level. Besides, we describe how these particles generate collective behavior and assemblies in conditions out of equilibrium. Finally, we describe important characteristics of t...
