Chemists Capture a Bizarre Molecular Structure Never Seen Before

Crystalline Metallocene DerivativesScientists caught a famous β€œsandwich” molecule in a rare hidden state, uncovering a long-missing step in its formation. For more than 70 years, metallocenes have been among the most important molecules in organometallic chemistry. These compounds feature a metal atom positioned between two carbon-based rings, creating a structure often described as a molecular sandwich. They [...]

A Surprising Discovery Inside Fish Could Change What We Know About the Ocean

Gulf Toadfish (Opsanus beta)Scientists have uncovered evidence that tiny microbes living inside fish may be helping shape the chemistry of the world’s oceans. The new study, led by former graduate student Anthony Bonacolta at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, suggests that bacteria in fish intestines may work together with their hosts [...]
