Chemists synthesize a five-crossing structure centered on chloride.A tough new form of the 20th century’s signature polymer could extend its usefulness and make it more recyclable. On November 7, ozone and climate scientists met in Washington, D.C., to discuss whether the history of stratospheric ozone protection offered a useful case study about how to catalyze global action on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The simple answer that emerged: No. Photosynthesis appears to be somewhat speedier than conventional wisdom had suggested, a new study finds. If true, this suggests computer projections are at risk of overestimating the potential for trees to sop up carbon dioxide, a major greenhouse gas. First rejected as impossible, the discovery that atoms can pack in subtly varied patterns forced revisions of fundamental concepts. |
