Катион триводорода удалось получить из органических молекул при помощи лазера
Jul

2017
Исследователи из Мичиганского университета предложили механизм образования катиона триводорода (H3+) из органических соединений, подвергающихся облучению лазером высокой мощности. Эта реакция, протекающая в два этапа и занимающая сотни фемтосекунд, может объяснить химию редких процессов, идущих с одновременным разрывом или образованием сразу нескольких химических связей, характерных в том числе и для химических превращений в газопылевых туманностях.

Researchers used a baseline comparison of infection and transmission rates of Florida mosquitoes to those from the Dominican Republic, a region associated with numerous human cases. Experts measured mosquito infection and transmission of the emergent strains of chikungunya -- Asian and Indian Ocean – in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes.
Unjustified delays in approving biotech crops take thousands of lives, say researchers

Uncertainty and confusion on genetic engineering of main food crops in Africa have delayed the acceptance and application of these crops by smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa, say researchers. Model calculations reveal that the costs of a one year delay in approving the pod-borer resistant cow-pea in Nigeria will cost the country 33 -- 46 million dollars, and more disastrously, will take theoretically 100 to 3000 lives, the team reports.
