Electricity-Driven Nitrogen Insertion Opens a Sustainable Path to Drug-Ready Heterocycles

Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed an electricity-driven method to insert nitrogen into stable carbon rings, enabling greener synthesis of valuable heterocycles. Published in Nature Synthesis, the approach avoids harsh chemicals, reduces waste, and allows access to key drug-ready molecular frameworks under mild conditions.

Astronomers Observe Black Hole Twisting Spacetime for the First Time, Confirming Einstein’s Theory

Astronomers have directly observed a black hole twisting spacetime for the first time, confirming Einstein’s long-standing prediction. The effect was detected during a violent stellar destruction event, where repeating X-ray and radio signals revealed a slow cosmic wobble. The discovery provides new insight into black hole spin, jets, and extreme gravity.

Scientists Rule Out Elusive Sterile Neutrino After 10-Year Hunt, Shaking Particle Physics

After ten years of experiments, physicists found no evidence for the sterile neutrino, once thought to explain unusual neutrino behaviour. The MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab analysed neutrinos from two beams and ruled out the particle with 95% certainty. The findings narrow the search for new physics and inform future experiments like DUNE.
