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

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]
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
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.
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.

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
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.

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.
