Chemists Synthesize Natural Anti-Cancer Compound With Efficient New Process
Scripps Research chemists Hans Renata, PhD, and Alexander Adibekian, PhD, have discovered a way to efficiently create a synthetic version of a valuable natural compound called cepafungin I, which has shown promise as an anti-cancer agent.
Electric Cooker An Easy, Efficient Way To Sanitize N95 Masks, Study Finds
Owners of electric multicookers may be able to add another use to its list of functions, a new study suggests: sanitization of N95 respirator masks.
Breaking Molecular Traffic Jams with Finned Nanoporous Materials
Thousands of chemical processes used by the energy industry and for other applications rely on the high speed of catalytic reactions, but molecules frequently are hindered by molecular traffic jams that slow them down.
Past Evidence Supports Complete Loss of Arctic Sea-Ice by 2035
A new study, published this week in the journal Nature Climate Change, supports predictions that the Arctic could be free of sea ice by 2035.
Stronger Rains in Warmer Climate Could Lessen Heat Damage to Crops, Says Study
Intensified rainstorms predicted for many parts of the United States as a result of warming climate may have a modest silver lining: they could more efficiently water some major crops, and this would at least partially offset the far larger projected yield declines caused by the rising heat itself.
