Five scientists from the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory — Ho Nyung Lee, David Graham, Andrew Sutton, Roger Rousseau and Troy Carter — have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, or AAAS.
Recognizing their outstanding contribution to Canada or on the international stage, the medal commemorates the crowning of the former Prince of Wales in 2022.
Chemist Zheming Wang is the newest AAAS Fellow, joining the ranks of astronaut Mae Jemison, and Steven Chu, 1997 Nobel laureate in physics who served as the 12th U.S. Secretary of Energy.
Promethium’s short half-life and lack of stable isotopes makes it difficult to study. In addition, promethium is difficult to separate from other lanthanide elements because of these elements’ similarity. In this study, scientists created a pure sample of the isotope promethium-147 and used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to examine the way it chemically bonds.
A study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers could advance the development of new drugs that block or open such signaling channels to treat conditions as varied as epilepsy and some intellectual disorders.
Two professors at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) are leading an international initiative to develop sustainable bioproducts from waste biomass. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is supporting these efforts with a $5 million grant to the Global Center for Sustainable Bioproducts (GCSB), an international research hub dedicated to developing sustainable bio-based solutions for environmental and economic challenges.
The SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry’s Dr. Jennifer Goff has been awarded a $200,000 grant from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Geosciences to support research into the environmental impact of tellurium, a metalloid increasingly used in manufacturing.
Researchers have uncovered a more efficient way to turn carbon dioxide into methanol, a type of alcohol that can serve as a cleaner alternative fuel.
Two Argonne scientists, Karen Mulfort and Di-Jia Liu, have been elected as Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science for achievements in their field.
Turning carbon dioxide into valuable substances: That is the goal of Empa researcher Carlota Bozal-Ginesta. In her research project, she wants to combine machine learning and high-throughput experiments to develop better electrodes for CO2 electrolysis. For this, she has now been awarded the two-year Empa Young Scientist Fellowship.
Around 98 per cent of lignin created as a forestry by-product from plants is discarded, but a new enzyme could be the key to extracting high-value molecules from this waste using a green chemistry approach.
Chulalongkorn University has been recognized as the leading university in Thailand across 34 subjects in the QS University Rankings by Subject 2025, announced on March 12, 2025.
![Newswise: New method for bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane ketones synthesis](/legacy/image.php?image=/images/uploads/2025/03/26/67e3d68099e7e_2025-03-26180803.png&width=400&height=400)
We present a one-step, visible light-induced synthesis of bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane-ketone, a bioisostere for benzoyl groups that enhances drug properties. This method operates under mild conditions, tolerates oxidation-sensitive substituents, and achieves moderate to high yields. Mechanistic studies indicate the necessity of stoichiometric tBuOOH despite the reaction's redox-neutral nature. This approach offers a streamlined strategy for incorporating bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane-ketone into pharmaceuticals, potentially improving their efficacy and compatibility.
Las bases de maquillaje más oscuras suelen fallar de plano, ya que dan un aspecto grisáceo al aplicarlas sobre la piel. Pero ahora, los investigadores informan de un aditivo de color azul para cosméticos que proporciona a las bases más oscuras la calidez e intensidad de las que carecen las fórmulas actuales. Presentarán sus resultados en el encuentro de primavera de 2025 de la ACS.
Can you imagine a smartphone with a wooden touchscreen, or a house with wooden windows? Transparent wood could make it possible. Researchers have created this plastic alternative using almost entirely natural materials. They will present their results at ACS Spring 2025.
Researchers are considering radiocarbon as a source for safe, small and affordable nuclear batteries that could last decades or longer without charging. They will present their results at ACS Spring 2025.
Los investigadores están considerando el radiocarbono como fuente para baterĂas nucleares seguras, pequeñas y asequibles que podrĂan durar dĂ©cadas, o incluso más, sin necesidad de recarga. Presentarán sus resultados en el encuentro de primavera de 2025 de la ACS.
ÂżPodrĂas imaginarte un telĂ©fono inteligente con pantalla táctil de madera o una casa con ventanas de madera? La madera transparente podrĂa hacerlo posible. Los investigadores han creado esta alternativa al plástico utilizando materiales casi totalmente naturales. Presentarán sus resultados en el encuentro de primavera de 2025 de la ACS.
Darker makeup foundations often fall flat, appearing gray-like once applied on the skin. But now, researchers report a blue cosmetic color additive that gives darker foundations the warmth and depth that current formulations lack. They will present their results at ACS Spring 2025.
