A new Nature Communications study spots a mineral “ring” and manganese signature in Mars’ Utopia Planitia—clues that could finally pin down the timeline of a lost northern ocean.
Copper catalysts activated by light could finally make anti‑Markovnikov hydration work on plain alkenes—opening cleaner routes to primary alcohols for drugs and materials.
Photoactivated copper catalysts aim to crack anti-Markovnikov hydration—making primary alcohols from common alkenes, not just “activated” lab favorites.
