An
important chemical species, molecular oxygen is linear, has an
anisotropic shape, and spins from two unpaired electrons. However, until
now, we didn’t know how these properties influenced important oxidation
reactions. Researchers in Japan have now reported development of the
world's first molecular oxygen beam that can designate the alignment of
the molecular axis and spin direction.

According
to recent data released by Google, the search engine giant has logged
more than 2.5 million requests in the last 11 months to remove links
believed to be violating Microsoft’s copyrights. This exceeded the
number of complaints about material produced by entertainment companies
pushing for tougher online piracy laws.

Using
forensic-style chemical analysis, scientists in the U.K. and Germany
have directly linked seismic observations of the deadly 1980 Mount St.
Helens eruption to crystal growth within the magma chamber, the large
underground pool of liquid rock beneath the volcano. Building direct
links between observations at the surface and processes occurring
underground has been an ongoing problem for volcanologists.

Scientists
at the Georgia Institute of Technology recently achieved a 17% increase
in boiling efficiency by using an acoustic field to enhance heat
transfer. The acoustic field does this by efficiently removing vapor
bubbles from the heated surface and suppressing the formation of an
insulating vapor film.

Natural
pigments contain colorful molecules known as poryphyrins, which lend
vibrant colors through macrocyclic chemical structure that link several
small rings together in an “aromatic” framework. Sometimes, however,
synthesis causes the aromaticity to disappear. Researchers in Japan now
report a new way to manipulate the peculiar aromatic properties of
macrocycles.

NASA’s
next flagship mission, the James Webb Space Telescope, will carry the
largest primary mirror ever deployed in space. Researchers has borrowed a
page from its segmented mirror design to create a similar example just a
half-inch in diameter. Strangely, the tiny mirror may one day become
the standard for future space telescopes.

There's nothing like a new pair of eyeglasses to bring fine details into sharp relief. For scientists who study the large molecules of life from proteins to DNA, the equivalent of new lenses have come in the form of an advanced method for analyzing data from X-ray crystallography experiments. The findings could lead to new understanding of the molecules that drive processes in biology, medical diagnostics, nanotechnology, and other fields.

According
to JEOL Resonance, a new benchmark for resolution and benchmark will be
set with its introduction next week of a new 0.75-mm solid state
nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) probe. The probe is capable of high
resolution sample analysis by spinning the sample at 110 kHz, the
world's fastest spinning speed for NMR.

The
Remote Mobility Zone can pack down to the size of a suitcase (plus
satellite dish) and provide coverage on the go for up to 14 simultaneous
calls, data rates at less-than-broadband speeds, and a range of half a
mile. Designed primarily for disaster response, the towers may find a
variety of uses where communication is needed.
