It has been four years since the onset of Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The researchers who have persisted continue to exemplify extraordinary resilience and adaptability while managing the emotional and physical challenges of enduring a conflict. Research persists despite regular power cuts, frigid temperatures, compromised infrastructure, and reduced teams as friends and colleagues enlist […]

For many years, chemists have regarded the [1,2]-Wittig rearrangement as a tenacious deviation from the norm – a potent carbon–carbon bond-forming reaction thought to occur via erratic radical pairs and largely eluding precise catalytic management. However, a recent investigation reveals that it can actually be directed with precision, paving the way for enantioenriched tertiary alcohols. […]

Numerous radical chains comprising several nitrogen atoms have been effectively synthesized, demonstrating impressive stability at room temperature for extended periods. Scientists are hopeful that this stability may allow these chains to function as a viable storable source of nitrenes. Nitrenes are often challenging to manage due to their significant reactivity but hold considerable value for […]

The map presents an almost geological appearance. Throughout the eastern United States, counties shimmer in deep purple wherever nuclear plants are concentrated: along the Great Lakes corridor, the mid-Atlantic, and the Connecticut River Valley. Journey west past the Mississippi, and the shading fades to a light yellow. There are fewer plants and fewer individuals drawn […]

The waters of Lac Mai Ndombe resemble cold tea. Dark, almost non-transparent, tainted a deep brown by eons of decaying plant matter flowing in from the adjacent swamp forests — Africa’s largest blackwater lake lies in the center of the Democratic Republic of Congo, four times the size of Lake Constance, mostly unexplored, predominantly unmeasured. […]

Sixteen-year-old Amelia Keown was on her way home from school — stopping to grab pom poms for dance practice — when she was struck and killed by a driver under the influence of drugs. The driver had recently been released on parole and had an extensive criminal history. The community was furious. In response to […]

IT IS a biological stowaway that nearly every adult on the planet harbors, a silent companion nestled within the very immune cells designed to guard us. For many, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a benign squatter, a remnant of a childhood fever or a teenage episode of glandular fever that has entered a lifelong dormancy. […]

At the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) located in Seoul, investigators have achieved notable advancements in addressing a challenge in green hydrogen generation. In conventional water electrolysis, two distinct reactions take place: hydrogen production at the cathode and oxygen production at the anode. These processes necessitate different catalysts, frequently platinum for hydrogen and […]

For a duration of fifteen hours last January, the James Webb Space Telescope concentrated on Uranus, generating the inaugural three-dimensional representation of its upper atmosphere. Under the leadership of Paola Tiranti, the results were published in Geophysical Research Letters. The intricate magnetic field of Uranus, tilted and misaligned compared to Earth’s, affects its auroras and […]

At 7 kelvin — a temperature so frigid that even air would solidify — a solitary molecule rests on a copper surface. By most standards, it is among the tiniest entities ever intentionally examined: a ring composed of four carbon atoms and one nitrogen, with hydrogen atoms extending from its periphery. A tungsten tip hovers […]
