Chiral molecules can present different chemical properties. For applications like drug delivery and diagnosis, it is important to detect chiral signals in mixtures. Although electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectroscopy ...
Can the language someone uses be as unique as their fingerprints?
Microbes drive key processes of life on Earth. They affect global elemental cycles—the movement of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements. They also promote plant growth and affect the development of diseases. These roles ...
Methyl chloride (CH3Cl) is one of the most common chlorine-based gases in Earth's atmosphere. Along with related chemicals, it depletes the ozone layer, exposing life on the planet to more of the sun's ultraviolet radiation. ...
At least 2 billion people worldwide routinely drink water contaminated with disease-causing microbes.
New research provides clear evidence of a human "fingerprint" on climate change and shows that specific signals from human activities have altered the temperature structure of Earth's atmosphere.
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT), researchers have found, for the first time, the fingerprints left by the explosion of the first stars in the universe. They detected three distant gas clouds whose chemical composition ...
Researchers from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, Lausanne in Switzerland, used a geometric deep-learning tool that generates "fingerprints" of protein surfaces to describe geometric and chemical features critical to ...
The chemical composition of tropical timber used, for example, for bridges or in window frames, reveals where the trees were growing. This can be used to help trace timber origin and reduce illegal trade.
Few things carry the same aura of mystery as dark matter. The name itself radiates secrecy, suggesting something hidden in the shadows of the universe.
