The long-held dream of chemists to observe the structural dynamics of a single molecule have been now made possible. Single molecules sized about 1 nanometer (nm, 1 billionth of a meter) exist in a volatile state under ambient conditions.

Recently, a Korean research team has discovered a reliable way to observe single molecules at room temperature by capping them with a thin insulating layer, like a blanket. The research team led by Professor Kyoung-Duck…

The skies over Kyiv are swarming with unidentified flying objects (UFOs), according to a new report from the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Of course, given that Russia and Ukraine have been locked in a months-long war that relies heavily on aircraft and drones, it’s likely that many of these so-called UFOs are military tools that appear too fleetingly to identify, a U.S. intelligence agency has speculated.Published to the preprint database arXiv, the report — which has not yet been peer-reviewed — describes recent steps that Ukrainian astronomers have taken to monitor fast-moving, low-visibility objects…

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in all my years working in fashion, it’s that the smallest things can often make the biggest difference. Take this summer’s penchant for wearing your designer vests inside-out and back-to-front (to show off the branding from within), for example. It might relieve you to hear that I’m not about to suggest swapping your tops with your bottoms or wearing mismatched shoes. (But remember when that was a thing?) The point is small tweaks can have big style payoffs. And what could be the small tweak we’re discussing today? Well, the headline kind of gave…
