Found : A star too small to shine A methane in the atmosphere of a dim, starlike object marks it as a brown dwarf- a failed star and fills a gap in theorists' picture of star formation /*---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Measurements are the only reality, say quantum tests. pump laser | nonlinear crystal / \ / Rotator Mirror Mirror \ / \ / \ / Beam Splitter Polarization filter Polarization filer Detector Detector Two photons with different polarizations are mixed at a beam splitter entangling them. Correlated photon detections (open doors) at different settings of the two polarization filters (colors) predict yet another correlation that is not observed (closed doors). /*---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Model Enzyme Takes hydrogen apart New metal new model - substituing ruthenium (ru) for nickel made this molecules a hydrogenase mimic. /*---------------------------------------------------------------------*/ Autoencapsulation through intermolecular forces : A Synthetic self assembbling spherical complex The synthesis and characterization of a system for the study of molecular recognition phenomena are described. The system involves a tetraurea molecule that is capable of assembly into various associated states through hydrogen bonding. In organic solvents, the dynamic transition between a low ordered aggregate state and a highly ordered dimeric assembly can be induced by the introduction of smaller molecules of appropriate size and shape. These smaller molecules, such as benzene, adamantanes and ferrocenes, act as guests that occupy the pseudospherical capsule formed by the dimeric host. Among various guestss,, those that best fill the cavity and offer chemical complementarity to the host are preferentially encapsulated.
