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.

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.
It is a dangerous prank to aim a laser beam at an aircraft. The unexpected flash of bright light can incapacitate the pilot, endangering the lives of all aboard.
