Crystals of the newly synthesized compounds, anthraquinodimethane derivatives, which have different colors depending on their molecular structure. Credit: Yusuke Ishigaki Newly synthesized organic molecules can be tuned to emit different colors depending on their molecular structures in crystal form. Molecular switches are chemicals with molecular structures that can be shifted between two or more stable configurations in response to changes in their environment. They are of great interest in the development of molecular computers, molecular machines and drug delivery systems.

And based on the sound effects on this episode, it sounds like he’s not just wearing a suit of armor; his suit includes robotic enhancements. So he’s basically in an Iron Man suit made out of beskar.

Two high school students have proved the Pythagorean theorem in a way that one early 20th-century mathematician thought was impossible: using trigonometry. Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, both at St. Mary’s Academy in New Orleans, announced their achievement last month at an American Mathematical Society meeting. “It’s an unparalleled feeling, honestly, because there’s just nothing like it, being able to do something that … people don’t think that young people can do,” Johnson told WWL-TV, a New Orleans CBS affiliate. If verified, Johnson and Jackson’s proof would contradict mathematician and educator Elisha Loomis, who stated in his 1927 book The…

When any matter is divided into smaller and smaller pieces, eventually all you are left with — when it cannot be divided any further — is a particle.

These flavors are grouped into three generations — each with one charged and one neutral lepton — to form different particles, including the electron, muon, and tau neutrinos. In the Standard Model, the masses of the three generations of neutrinos are represented by a three-by-three matrix.…
