Gold(+II) Encapsulated in Porphyrin Found to be Highly Stable

Theoretically, the gold atom’s normal oxidation states in compounds are +I and +III. In contrast, the divalent form (+II) largely forms polynuclear compounds or just gets modified into the monovalent and trivalent forms. Yet, the neighboring elements of gold in the periodic table are entirely distinct with respect to this matter.

Researchers Successfully Image Quasiparticles that Could Lead to Faster Electrical Circuits

A Research group, headed by Zhe Fei from Iowa State University, has captured the first images of half-light, half-matter quasiparticles known as exciton-polaritons. This latest discovery could lead to the development of faster nanophotonic circuits than present-generation of electrical circuits. The study has been reported in the scientific journal, Nature Photonics.

Duke's Sho Yaida Settles a 30-Year-Old Mystery About Nature of Glass and Disordered Materials

When you zoom in on a crystal, you will find an ordered array of atoms that are evenly spaced like the windows on the Empire State Building. But when you zoom in on a piece of glass, the picture looks a bit messier, more like a random pile of sand, or maybe be the windows on a Frank Gehry building.
