(Phys.org)—Carbon dioxide, an abundant greenhouse gas, is very difficult to use as a carbon source for carbon-carbon bond formation. CO2 is highly stable and unreactive, requiring prohibitively difficult or toxic reagents ...
(Phys.org)—Diseases like mad cow disease or Alzheimer's are a result of protein mis-folding. Proteins are comprised of an amino acid chain that folds into a three-dimensional structure. According to the Anfinsen Principle, ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- IBM scientists were able to measure for the first time how charge is distributed within a single molecule. This achievement will enable fundamental scientific insights into single-molecule switching and bond ...
