Phys.org / Tiny water droplets transmutate aniline into pyridine in ambient and catalyst-free conditions
Aniline can now be transformed into pyridine without adding any catalysts, oxidants or toxic reagents. In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society, researchers achieved skeletal editing, involving ...
Tech Xplore / Apple increases prices for Macs and iPads, blaming a shortage of memory chips
Apple on Thursday announced an increase in prices for Macs and iPads, citing a memory chip shortage brought on by the artificial intelligence boom.
Phys.org / Scorching heat waves, torrential rain, all in a matter of days—it's not just bad luck
After a heat wave, we crave relief, not more extreme weather. But increasingly, we have to contend with a succession of extremes—ricocheting from extreme heat to intense storms to flooding waterways.

Medical Xpress / Armed conflict is linked to increased measles cases globally
Countries experiencing armed conflict tend to report more measles cases, and the elevated risk persists even a year after the fighting, according to new research published in PLOS Medicine. The study links armed conflict ...
Phys.org / Quantum waves reveal one-sided motion marking elusive critical states
Sound waves, light waves and other types of waves, generally spread freely through space and over time. In 1958, physicist Philip W. Anderson first described a phenomenon via which irregularities or other sources of disorder ...
Phys.org / New electrocatalyst helps turn polluted water into fertilizer and polymers
A new electrochemical system simultaneously converts plant-derived materials and nitrate pollutants into valuable industrial chemicals. Developed by Tohoku University researchers, the system provides a more sustainable way ...
