Researchers Use Ultra-High Resolution Mass Spectrometry to Analyze Ancient Bitumen

Components of the oldest bitumen sample were detected in an ancient vase by Russian scientists, who also accurately determined the age of this sample. The Journal of Mass Spectrometry features an article where the researchers recommend a new and efficient method to carry out organic compound analysis and introduce customized software. These researchers are from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), the Institute for the History of Material Culture, the Talrose Institute for Energy Problems of Chemical Physics, and the Emanuel Institute of Biochemical Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IBCP RAS).

Researchers Synthesis Complex Chiral Molecules with Potential Biological and Catalytic Activity

Chiral molecules are asymmetric in nature, like left and right hands, so superposing their mirror images is not possible. Molecules with matching chemical structure but different chirality can exhibit different activity. This makes chirality is a crucial factor in fields such as chemistry, biology, and pharmacology. Synthesis of molecules with specific chirality can be tricky, however it is a key goal of several chemists as they search for desired materials.
