For over a century, the well-known 18-electron rule has guided the field of organometallic chemistry. Now, researchers at Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have successfully synthesized a novel organometallic compound that challenges this longstanding principle. They have created a stable 20-electron derivative of ferrocene, an iron-based metal-organic complex, which could lead to exciting…

Hate to be a ‘Debbie Downer’ but all those prompts we’re using to make action figures, Ghibli memes, and the countless less exciting life and business prompts we’re stuffing into ChatGPT and other popular generative AI systems are coming at a cost, and one that may be landing on our doorsteps. Don’t get me wrong,…
Speeding up chemical reactions is key to improving industrial processes or mitigating unwanted or harmful waste. Realizing these improvements requires that chemists design around documented reaction pathways. Now, a team of Penn State researchers has found that a fundamental reaction called oxidative addition can follow a different path to achieve the same ends, raising the…

Experts say quantum computing is the future of computers. Unlike conventional computers, quantum computers leverage the properties of quantum physics such as superposition and interference, theoretically outperforming current equipment to an exponential degree. When a quantum computer is able to solve a problem unfeasible for current technologies, this is called the quantum advantage. However, this…
Getty Images Water companies spilled raw sewage into England’s rivers and seas for a record 3.6 million hours in 2024, according to Environment Agency figures. Limited amounts of sewage are allowed to be discharged during periods of excess rain, but environmental groups say the levels pose a threat to wildlife and risk swimmers’ health. A…
Ruth Clegg Health and wellbeing reporter Getty Images It felt like there was a collective sigh of relief when a study, published this week, suggested 10,000 steps a day isn’t the health utopia we had all been led to believe. The news that we only had to reach 7,000 steps was enough to quite literally…
