Scientists discover light conversion in free space: a manifestation of the quantum van Cittert-Zernike theorem
A new article published in Nature’s npj Quantum Information demonstrates the possibility of producing different kinds of light through propagation in free space.
Ten years of morphodynamic data for sustainable beach management
Sustained high quality data of nearshore waves and beach morphology are crucial to understand morphodynamic processes that determine beach evolution. We present a free and unrestricted dataset to support adaptation and mitigation actions under different global change scenarios in urban beaches.
Direct Allylic Acylation via Cross-Coupling Involving Cooperative N‑Heterocyclic Carbene, Hydrogen Atom Transfer, and Photoredox Catalysis
We proposed a strategy that using carboxylic acids and readily available olefins as substrates for transformations involving N heterocyclic carbene catalysis, hydrogen atom transfer catalysis, and photoredox catalysis for the synthesis of β,γ-unsaturated ketones.
