It is not possible for an electron microscope to take a photo like a mobile phone camera. An electron microscope’s ability to image a structure, and the success of the imaging will depend on the researcher’s understanding of the structure. In most cases, complex physics calculations are required to make complete use of the electron microscopy’s potential.
A new molecule that is capable of safely storing electricity from irregular sources, such as wind and solar power, has been found by researchers at Harvard. The vitamin B2-inspired organic molecule has high performance rates and can store the energy in large batteries.
Scientists from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, the University of Seville and AZVI, a railway transport company, have jointly created a material that includes rubber from worn tires for use in the subballast layer of train tracks.
University of Basel chemists have succeeded in applying computer simulations to explain transient structures in proteins. The journal Angewandte Chemie features a report in which the chemists illustrate the possibility of understanding proteins’ modes of action by using computer simulations of information at the atomic level.
Automative body paint jobs have been given a huge boost from the rapidly emerging field of terahertz (THz) technology used to improve the precision and quality control of layered paint coatings.
Researchers at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León (UANL) have developed an efficient biopolymer that is both sustainable and inexpensive.
Gels are present in a variety of products used on a daily basis, but it has not been known how gels get their unique solid properties. For example, it is still a mystery why particles in the gel do not move freely, like they would in a liquid medium. For decades, scientists have been struggling to find answers to these questions.
The human brain does not function like a standard computer memory storing just ones and zeroes, but has a larger difference in memory states, and can analyze faster using less energy.
Components of the oldest bitumen sample were detected in an ancient vase by Russian scientists, who also accurately determined the age of this sample. The Journal of Mass Spectrometry features an article where the researchers recommend a new and efficient method to carry out organic compound analysis and introduce customized software. These researchers are from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), the Institute for the History of Material Culture, the Talrose Institute for Energy Problems of Chemical Physics, and the Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IBCP RAS).
Chiral molecules are asymmetric in nature, like left and right hands, so superposing their mirror images is not possible. Molecules with matching chemical structure but different chirality can exhibit different activity. This makes chirality is a crucial factor in fields such as chemistry, biology, and pharmacology. Synthesis of molecules with specific chirality can be tricky, however it is a key goal of several chemists as they search for desired materials.
