Researchers Prove 3D Aromaticity in Stacked Antiaromatic Molecules

Aromatic molecules are made up of planar carbon-based rings with alternating single and double (π) bonds. These molecules possess 4n+2 (n = 0, 1, 2 ...) π electrons. π electrons are those involved in π bonds, which causes high stability because the π electrons delocalize over the ring structure.

New Technology Allows Multispectral Printing and Imaging

Researchers at Duke University believe that they have conquered a longstanding obstacle in producing cheaper, more robust processes to print and image spanning a range of colors extending into the infrared. There are a broad range of "colors" across the electromagnetic spectrum that humans cannot see, but will provide a wealth of information.
