A team of researchers now present an eco-friendly and innovative approach for the blue light-promoted synthesis of heterocyclic thiochromenopyrroledione derivatives catalyzed by titanium dioxide. Credit: Professor Yutaka Hitomi, Doshisha University Heterocyclic compounds are organic molecules with a ring structure comprising at least two or more elements. In most cases, these rings are composed of carbon atoms along with one or more other elements such as nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur. They are highly sought after as raw materials in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, owing to their versatility and excellent physiological activities. While several methods are available for synthesizing these compounds,…

For the first time since 1997, the country is expected to see a number of closely fought battles which could determine which party holds the keys to Number 10 The Argus has spoken to people in six key constituencies ahead of the election, from Chichester to Camber, about the mood on the ground and how results could play out on election day. Today, we look at Worthing, a town which has elected Conservatives to Parliament since 1841 when Sir Robert Peel returned to Number 10 in a victory against the Whigs. In elections past, you could have weighed in the Tory vote in…

During the December 31 Sister Wives: Look Back special, the former family patriarch praised his ex-wife Christine Brown for being “brave enough” to end their marriage when he “wasn’t in love with her.”  “I wasn’t in love with her. As much as I tried to love her, it just wasn’t working all the time,” Kody 54, admitted, while adding that he was “just glad that she was brave enough to do it.”  Since the TLC personality was “not really allowed” to break off their relationship…

The Paris 2024 Olympics and Euro 2024 could make this a transformative year If you’re happy to see the back of 2023 you’re not alone. Across Europe many will be feeling battered by the cost of living crisis, emotionally fatigued by escalating war, and overwhelmed by the ever-looming threat of the climate crisis. Optimism bias means it’s easy to look at a new year with false expectations; hoping — rather than knowing — that things will get better. After Boris Johnson’s declaration that 2020 would be a “fantastic year for Britain”, one perhaps should be doubly cautious about predicting a…

One of us is from Kentucky and the other from China. We both attend Washington and Lee University in Virginia. Last summer, we assisted Professor Seth Cantey, also a co-author of this piece, with research on the roles of bitcoin and Tether in Lebanon. To help with that work, first we had to learn a lot. What is bitcoin, and what are the problems it’s trying to solve? How is it being used in Lebanon? Could bitcoin adoption mitigate the economic crisis? For two months, we wrestled with these questions.But another question came up too. What does our generation, Gen…

High-frequency terahertz waves have great potential for a number of applications including next-generation medical imaging and communication. Researchers at Linköping University, Sweden, have shown, in a study published in the journal Advanced Science, that the transmission of terahertz light through an aerogel made of cellulose and a conducting polymer can be tuned. This is an important step to unlock more applications for terahertz waves. The terahertz range covers wavelengths that lie between microwaves and infrared light on the electromagnetic spectrum. It has a very high frequency. Thanks to this, many researchers believe that the terahertz range has great potential for…
