A simple, inexpensive way to make carbon atoms bind together
The active ingredient in many drugs is what's known as a small molecule: bigger than water, much smaller than an antibody and mainly made of carbon. It's tough, however, to make these molecules if they require a quaternary carbon—a carbon atom bond.....»»
Apple TV+ share grows in the US, but still lags behind its competitors
A recent study revealed that Apple TV+ is the streaming platform with the highest rated content on IMDb, despite having the smallest catalog of them all. Now JustWatch has shared the streaming platforms’ market share figures for the first quarter o.....»»
Team develops portable swept-source Raman spectrometer for chemical and biomedical applications
In 1928, Indian physicist Sir C. V. Raman and his colleague K. S. Krishnan discovered that when light interacts with matter, parts of the scattered light undergo changes in energy due to interaction with molecular vibrations, resulting in what is kno.....»»
Team demonstrates an ultra-broadband tunable terahertz absorber of graphene and hierarchical plasmonic metamaterials
Perfect absorption arises from the strong interaction of valence electrons with light in a conducting material. Optical metamaterial is an effective approach to exploit the superior photon capture capability. Thus, the perfect absorbers could be achi.....»»
