New molecules for OLEDs and pharmaceuticals

Chemists from Ural Federal University (UrFU, Ekaterinburg) have suggested a new technique for synthesizing thiophene derivatives and studied their fluorescent properties experimentally as well as theoretically. Many organic ...

Researchers compute their way to the center of the Earth

In order to more fully comprehend the complexities of Earth's interior, humanity has to dig deep—literally. To date, scientists have been able to bore a little over 12 kilometres deep, or about half the average depth of ...

Superconducting submillimeter-wave limb-emission sounder (SMILES)

The Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb-Emission Sounder (SMILES) is the first onboard mechanically cooled superconducting mixer and high-resolution system for measuring atmospheric minor constituents related to stratospheric ...

Exploring mass dependence in electron-hole clusters

In solid materials, when an electron changes position without another to fill its place, a positively charged 'hole' can appear which is attracted to the original electron. In more complex situations, the process can even ...

Encapsulated NiCo alloy nanoparticles catalyzing HDO reactions

The conversion of abundant biomass and their derivatives into high value-added fuels and chemicals is envisaged as a promising green avenue to reduce our reliance on conventional fossil resources. Among them, the pyrolysis ...
