Five Decades of Dispute: A Triptych. E. J. Corey

open access: yesThe Chemical Record, EarlyView.
In his 2004 Priestley Medal address, E. J. Corey stated, “On May 4, 1964, I suggested to my colleague R. B. Woodward a simple explanation involving the symmetry of the perturbed (HOMO) molecular orbitals for the stereoselective cyclobutene/1,3‐butadiene and 1,3,5‐hexatriene/cyclohexadiene conversions that provided the basis for the further development ...

Tailoring Photochromism Beyond Human Eye Visibility: On/Off Switchable NIR Absorption in an Aluminosilicate

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 39, 21 September 2026.
A new photochromic material was developed. Its on/off‐switchable absorption band is situated completely outside the human eye's visibility, in the near‐infrared (NIR) region, a feature never reported before. The photochromism mechanism in this aluminosilicate is elucidated by combining experimental as well as computational results, and the material's ...

Does ultraviolet astronomy have a future? [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy and Geophysics, 2004
Recent news of the cancellation of further servicing missions for HST and the recent failure of its prime UV spectrograph has brought into focus the limited future for UV astronomy, without rapid action. If this situation does not change, the routine access to the far-UV that we have enjoyed for more than 25 years, since the launch of IUE, will end by ...

Systemic effects of sunlight: 10‐year review of cardiovascular, infection and cancer outcomes

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This review highlights the systemic effects of sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. While UV radiation exposure has known cutaneous risks including photoaging and skin cancer, evidence suggests potential associations with reduced all‐cause mortality, improved infectious disease outcomes and reduced blood pressure.

The State of Astronomy Education in the U.S.

open access: yes, 1996
I would like to set the scene for the discussion that will follow in this book and bring up a few disturbing points which I believe any discussion about astronomy education will ultimately have to address.

Photochemical effects of Mars‐like UV irradiation on carboxylic acids in carbonaceous chondrites and expectations for abiotic background organics on Mars

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In the search for life on Mars, understanding the origin of preserved organics is critical. Expected sources include exogenous delivery, endogenous synthesis, and potentially life. Environmental processing by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can alter these organics, obscuring hallmarks of their origin. To deconvolve these effects, we conducted an

The Top Ten Astronomical 'breakthroughs' of the 20th century

open access: yesCommunicating Astronomy with the Public Journal, 2007
Astronomy was revolutionized in the 20th century. The electron was discovered in 1897 and this transformed spectroscopy and introduced plasma and magnetohydrodynamic physics and astro-chemistry.

Lyman Continuum Leakers in the AstroSat Ultraviolet Deep Field: Extreme-ultraviolet Emitters at the Cosmic Noon

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
We report the direct detection of Lyman continuum (LyC) emission from nine galaxies and one active galactic nucleus at z ∼ 1.1–1.6 in the GOODS-North field using deep observations from the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) on board AstroSat.
