• Recycling plastic: Vinyl polymer broken down to aspirin components
  

  Before you read this, look around your room. How much of your surroundings are made of plastic? The chair that you sit on, the desk, the casing on your computer and monitor, the pen you use, the carpet, the shoes you wear, your clothes, your bag, the soda bottle you sip from, the furniture, the wall more

• The world’s cleanest water droplet
  

  What effect does water have on ultra-clean surfaces? Using a novel method, researchers at TU Wien and Cornell University have succeeded in demonstrating that smallest impurities can have a surprising effect. In nature there is no such thing as a truly clean surface. Contact with normal air is suffic more

• What the Smell Can Tell
  

  Breath analysis in disease diagnostics is a promising research field, and the advances in instrumentation allows the accurate detection of metabolites. But not only the health status of patients, but also the preservation status of museum artifacts could be monitored. Heritage science researchers ha more

• Synthesis, structure and acidity constants of ligated α‐boryl acetic acids

  Basic hydrolyses of various ligated α‐boryl acetic acid esters provided the first ligated derivatives of the unknown compound boroacetic acid (BH2CH2CO2H). Four monoacids (L‐BH2CH2CO2H) and one diacid (L‐BH(CH2CO2H)2) were prepared with N‐heterocyclic carbene, amine and pyridine ligands (L). The more
