Scientists from Lund University, Sweden, successfully developed a simple hydrocarbon molecule having a logic gate function, quite similar to that in transistors, in a single molecule.
A new study by Oregon State University scientists outlines a key advance in turning apple waste into an environmentally friendly packaging material that could serve as an alternative to plastic.
Scientists from The University of Manchester have managed to successfully make a transuranium complex where the central metal, here neptunium, forms a multiple bond to just one other element. Enabling study of such a bonding interaction in isolation for the first time is a key breakthrough for nuclear waste clean-up.
Research by Japanese scientists at Hiroshima University reveals a way to make ammonia from its constituent molecules of nitrogen and hydrogen at ambient pressure.
Olympus is proud to announce the opening of the Olympus Discovery Center at Texas A&M Health to support research focused on treating, alleviating and preventing human diseases. The new facility provides researchers with hands-on access to Olympus microscopy systems that meet a range of advanced imaging needs important to their work.
