Iridium-catalyzed Z-retentive asymmetric allylic substitution reactions
In synthetic organic chemistry, Z-olefins are a challenging synthetic target to produce in the lab due to their relative thermodynamic instability. The Z-olefins form an unsaturated compound with a CnH2n formula that can be readily isomerized. Analog.....»»
New colleagues may be treated differently depending on attractiveness, gender
Skillset, experience, work ethic—and appearance? According to a new Penn State study, reactions to a new work team member may differ depending on the newcomer's attractiveness and gender......»»
What Are Your Thoughts on the OnePlus 10 Pro?
It’s OnePlus 10 Pro launch week in the US, and as far as we can tell, there are very mixed reactions towards the device. You have one side, who will most likely always be loyal to OnePlus and are definitely buying this phone, a side that was lo.....»»

Hydrogen storage reactions bear a complex dance toward faster uptake
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have simulated the hydrogen storage reactions in a promising material and discovered why hydrogen uptake slows as the material absorbs hydrogen, providing insight that could be used for improve.....»»
Cheap, eco-friendly catalyst opens new possibilities for organic molecules built from pyruvate
Chemists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have developed an organic catalyst that can drive reactions using pyruvate—a key biomolecule in many metabolic pathways—that are difficult and complicated to a.....»»
Tunic Creator Interview + New Witcher Game Revealed – Unlocked 536
Tunic creator Andrew Shouldice joins us for the first half of this week's show to discuss the ins and outs of creating the new Xbox-exclusive action-adventure largely by himself. Plus: our reactions to the announcement of the new Witcher game, ou.....»»
Chemists discover new reactivity of strained molecules
In synthetic organic chemistry, so-called cycloadditions are a particularly important class of reactions. With this type of reaction, ring-shaped molecules can be constructed simply and efficiently by joining ("adding") two compounds that each contai.....»»
WhatsApp to finally start letting you post message reactions, report says
Quick, what's the most annoying thing about WhatsApp? For me, it's the inability to quickly post a reaction to someone's message, forcing me instead to either send an emoji as a separate reply, or write a largely unnecessary response. The feature is.....»»
Light elements make a difference in noble metal catalysis
Noble metals have been widely used as heterogeneous catalysts because they easily stand out with high activity and selectivity for many reactions of both scientific and industrial interest. At least a century ago, some light alloying elements with sm.....»»
New way to boost catalyst activity
Catalysts are workhorses that help reactions occur. Put to work, they transform starting materials, such as fossil fuels, biomass or even waste, into products and fuels with minimal energy......»»
Changing the handedness of molecules
Researchers at Kanazawa University report in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences a responsive molecular system that, through chemical reactions, inverses its chirality before becoming racemic......»»
Moon Knight first reactions: here"s what the critics thought
The social media embargo for Moon Knight has lifted – and critics are largely calling it the "best MCU TV show ever"......»»
Researchers demonstrate enzyme-MOF flow reactor
Enzymes are considered true multi-functional talents. They accelerate many chemical reactions as catalysts. In organisms, they are involved in vital processes. In technology and industry, they can be used as tools of white biotechnology and help save.....»»

Chemical engineers use neural networks to discover the properties of metal-organic frameworks
Metal-organic frameworks, a class of materials with porous molecular structures, have a variety of possible applications, such as capturing harmful gases and catalyzing chemical reactions. Made of metal atoms linked by organic molecules, they can be.....»»
Google"s Messages App Can Now Handle iMessage Reactions
Google is updating the default "Messages" app to include a number of new features, such as the ability to handle iMessage "Tapbacks." TechCrunch reports: Other coming updates include nudges to remind you to reply to messages you missed, separate tabs.....»»
Google adds more iMessage features to Android’s Messages app
Google's new Messages app update tries to bridge the gap between Android and iPhones with reactions and high-res media sharing......»»
Physicists steer chemical reactions by magnetic fields and quantum interference
Physicists in the MIT-Harvard Center for Ultracold Atoms (CUA) have developed a new approach to control the outcome of chemical reactions. This is traditionally done using temperature and chemical catalysts, or more recently with external fields (ele.....»»
Scientists confirm thermonuclear fusion in a sheared-flow Z-pinch device
In findings that could help advance another "viable pathway" to fusion energy, research led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) physicists has proven the existence of neutrons produced through thermonuclear reactions from a sheared-flow.....»»
On land and sea, climate change causing "irreversible" losses: UN
Climate change has already caused "irreversible losses" for Nature, UN experts have said, warning that if emissions are not cut quickly, warming could trigger chain reactions with potentially catastrophic effects for all species, including humans......»»
