Researchers at Hokkaido University have formulated a computational technique that can predict how clusters of molecules act and interact over time, offering crucial insight for future electronics.
NUS chemists have developed a cost effective method to synthesise geminal organodiboron compounds which are versatile chemical building blocks for the development of fine chemicals.
NUS chemists have developed fluorescent probes for the detection of ethylene gas for fruit harvesting and storage. Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone which regulates a wide range of biological processes in plants. It is associated with the ripening processes in a number of fruits such as apples and pears.
Ketones are vital organic compounds found in a range of agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and natural products. The direct synthesis of a ketone from an equally readily-available aldehyde would be suitable and has been effectively carried out using a metal catalyst.
According to Penn State scientists, a new composition of germanosilicate glass formed by incorporating zinc oxide possesses properties good for lens applications. This marks the discovery of a novel glass group.
Imagine a situation where one hears the whisperings of people in the adjacent room, yet the very same people cannot hear the wild party taking place in that individual’s room.
It is generally believed that wood is more suitable for log cabins than for contemporary buildings; however, an exceptionally treated type of timber could well become the trendy building material of the future.
From computer hard discs and smart phones to earbuds and electric motors, magnets are at the forefront of today’s technology. Magnets containing rare-earth elements are among the most powerful available, allowing many everyday objects to be ever smaller.
It is a well-known fact that chameleons have the ability to change their colors to match their surroundings. Now, a similar kind of phenomenon can be observed in a new group of smart materials known as metamaterials.
In a study led by Professor Ton Peijs of WMG at the University of Warwick and Professor Cees Bastiaansen at Queen Mary University of London, a processing method has been devised that can form transparent polythene film that can be stronger as aluminum but at a fraction of the weight.
