The importance of an often overlooked source of chirality, atropisomerism, depends upon the barriers to rotation

Finding Hidden Chirality

Simple Dew Point Checking Method
Saturated air dew points at elevated pressures can be predicted using a simple Arrhenius-type function

Superconductivity Induced by Light
Non-superconducting material transformed into a superconductor material by using laser-light pulses

Mercury Reduced & Bound
The way mercury-impacted sites are treated could be changed by duel role of dissolved organic matter in anoxic aqueous environments

Improvement of COX-1 Inhibitors
Novel cyclooxygenase-1 inhibitors show promise as analgesics, with none of the previous side effects

Supracolloids Made From Janus Spheres
Dual nature of newly developed latex spheres gives them an ability to form unusual structures used, e.g., to form supracolloids
