In 1825 Michael Faraday isolated a sweet-smelling chemical that he dubbed bi-carburet of hydrogen. That molecule, better ...

Can you imagine a life-saving molecule whose “twin” is a deadly poison? As surprising as it may seem, this chemical reality is known as “chirality”. Like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules ...

One of the greatest revolutions in the field of pain medication was the isolation of morphine from the opium poppy in the ...

Chirality: like a right hand and a left hand, two molecules can have the same composition, but a different shape and ...

Chain Growth and Branch Structure Formation during Lipase-Catalyzed Synthesis of Aliphatic Polycarbonate Polyols Chen Liu † , Zhaozhong Jiang † , John Decatur ‡ , Wenchun Xie † , and Richard A. Gross ...

The control structure of a modular multilevel converter (MMC) consists of a central controller and numerous local controllers with complex communication links. However, the communication interruption ...

ARC3 is found both distributed throughout the stroma and localized to a ring-like structure at the chloroplast division site. We demonstrate that ARC6 recruits ARC3 to the division site to form a ring ...

Understanding the underlying graph structure of a nonlinear map over a particular domain is essential in evaluating its potential for real applications. In this paper, we investigate the structure of ...

The synthesis of new seven-carbon, chain-extended sulfonium salts of 1,4-anhydro-4-thio-d-arabinitol, analogues of the naturally occurring glycosidase inhibitor salacinol, are described. These ...

Based on our results, we suggested that the multi-ring structure of Mare Orientale was formed primarily by a large, tilted meteorite impact, which left meteorite residues in the upper mantle of Mare ...
