A research team led by Prof. Zhang Guoqing from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has discovered a highly reactive photo-induced charge-transfer complex (PCTC) between amine and imide. Their findings are published in the journal Chem. A research team led by Prof. Zhang Guoqing from the…
In the lead-up to the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, Arizona’s chief election officer Katie Hobbs received far more harassing messages on Twitter than any of her counterparts in other states. More than 30% of all tweets directed at her, along with commentators on her posts, fell into the “most aggressive” category of attacks. In the lead-up…
Over the last 50 years, research activities have become increasingly globalized. Although the advantages of global homogenization and standardization have been extensively discussed, their potential drawbacks, particularly in the field of scientific innovation, have received limited attention.

The study of open-shell molecules, particularly those with high-spin ground states, has unveiled significant potential in organic electronics and magnetism. These molecules, characterized by unpaired electrons, exhibit unique properties such as long spin lifetimes and weak spin-orbit coupling, making them promising candidates for advanced technologies. The study of open-shell molecules, particularly those with high-spin ground states,…
Technicians lift NASA’s Orion spacecraft out of the Final Assembly and System Testing cell on June 28, 2024. The integrated spacecraft, which will be used for the Artemis II mission to orbit the moon, has been undergoing final rounds of testing and assembly, including end-to-end performance verification of its subsystems and checking for leaks in…
Rugging up against winter chills is a cozy and easy option for most of us. But our crops are facing frosts and freezing temperatures without the warmth of winter woolies. Frost poses a significant threat to agriculture, particularly in Australia’s wheatbelt regions. Rugging up against winter chills is a cozy and easy option for most of…
