Pyruvic acid is a type of alpha-keto carboxylic acid. These are organic compounds that are involved in the Krebs citric acid cycle, the main source of energy for cells. Pyruvic acid is one of the few organic molecules destroyed in the Earth's inner atmosphere by solar radiation rather than by reactions with highly reactive free radicals.
If a coffee cup fails to survive an unexpected engagement with gravity, its replacement is just a few dollars away. But not all ceramics or metals can afford to fail - the precision components inside a nuclear reactor, the turbine engine inside an aircraft, the body armor to protect a soldier's head and neck.
Do two promising structural materials corrode at very high temperatures when in contact with "liquid metal fuel breeders" in fusion reactors- Researchers of Tokyo Tech, YNU and QST now have the answer. This high-temperature compatibility of reactor structural materials with the liquid breeder-;a lining around the reactor core that absorbs and traps the high energy neutrons produced in the plasma inside the reactor-;is key to the success of a fusion reactor design.
A Skoltech professor and his Chinese colleagues have revised a key chemical concept, electronegativity, and determined this characteristic for all elements under varying pressures.
Cape Cod crépuscule watch: a distinctive timepiece that blends cutting-edge expertise
The ELENA project promises to benefit the entire photonics sector by developing the first European lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI)-based platform for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and establishing the first open-access foundry service for LNOI technology.
A new method that improves the functioning and resistance of the key parts of a watch movement.
An invention that can double the battery life of Bluetooth earbuds - The first CSEM Inventor Award has been given to Dr. Franz Xaver Pengg for a remarkable invention that he developed and patented at CSEM.
The scientists are now able to change the polarization of a continuous light wave which is oscillating in one plane into a wave which oscillate in a circular way.
