A new paper in Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry finds that efforts to eradicate invasive molluscs in Idaho’s Snake River may kill off valuable freshwater species.
A research team has discovered an electrochemical method that allows highly selective para-position single-carbon insertion into polysubstituted pyrroles. Their approach has important applications in synthetic organic chemistry, especially in the field of pharmaceuticals.
Their work is published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society on July 14.
In new research, University of California, Irvine astronomers describe how more than 200 known exoplanets are likely much larger than previously thought. It’s a finding that could change which distant worlds researchers consider potential harbors for extraterrestrial life.
Macquarie University researchers have demonstrated a technique to dramatically narrow the linewidth of a laser beam by a factor of over ten thousand – a discovery that could revolutionise quantum computing, atomic clocks and gravitational wave detection.
The interplay between quantum theory and gravity is one of the most challenging problems in physics today. Using new groundbreaking approach, researchers hope that quantum networks will help them test this interplay for the first time in actual experiments.
