Chemists have discovered a way to use visible light to synthesize a class of compounds particularly well suited for use in pharmaceuticals. The class of compounds, called azetidines, had been ...

Adding data transmission capability to traditional lighting systems promises to seamlessly create ubiquitous computing applications. Unveiled at the recent CEATEC Japan 2004 conference, a series of ...

The new visible-light antenna developed in the study can significantly reduce the amount of Sm required in reactions, paving the way for efficient and sustainable synthesis of pharmaceuticals and ...

Scientists at the University of Groningen, led by Nobel laureate Ben Feringa and colleagues, have created a new porous material that captures and releases carbon dioxide using only visible light. The ...

University of Michigan chemists have discovered a way to use visible light to synthesize a class of compounds particularly well suited for use in pharmaceuticals. The class of compounds, called ...

When it comes to appearances, the universe is a tricky place. Visible light occupies merely a sliver of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. To study the cosmos in its entirety, scientists must peer ...

Divalent samarium compounds are important reagents for reductive transformations in organic chemistry. However, currently, a high amount of this reagent is required in most reactions, and it also ...
