When molecules interact with ultraviolet (UV) light, they can change shape in processes that typically take just tens of picoseconds. In this study, researchers imaged these changes using X-ray free electron laser technology. They found that a strained bicyclic molecule emerges from the chemical reaction that occurs when a cyclopentadiene molecule absorbs UV light.
University of Utah chemists discover how bicarbonate can protect cells from oxidative stress in a study that challenges how cell damage has been studied for decades.
A recently published study led by Wayne State University on a new approach to understanding chronic inflammation could lead to new advancements in the treatment of many debilitating medical conditions, including cancer.
A study led by Indiana University has found that AI fact checking can inadvertently increase belief in false headlines.
