Porphyrinoid Switches Topologies
(Preview)
Molecule with a Split Personality as Porphyrinoid Switches Between Huckel and Mobius Topologies If you take a strip of paper, twist one end by 180° and then stick the two ends together to form a ring, the result is called a Möbius strip, a geometric shape with only one surface and one edge. You can prove...

Hydrogen-Seven
(Preview)
An experiment at the GANIL facility in France is the first to make, observe, identify, and characterize the heaviest isotope yet of hydrogen, H-7, consisting of a lone proton and 6 neutrons. All of the lighter isotopes of hydrogen have previously been seen: H-1 (ordinary hydrogen), H-2 (deuterium...

Steorn Challenge
(Preview)
One of the basic principles of physics is that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
However, an Irish company has challenged the worldwide scientific community to test a technology it has developed that it claims produces free energy.
The company, Steorn, says its discovery is based o...
