Progression of Alzheimer's disease is associated with the development of protein deposits in the brain composed of β-amyloid peptide. This peptide is known to aggregate and form amyloid fibrils, and the process of aggregation is associated with the toxicity of the peptide in vit…
Different diphosphine ligands having the structure shown below have been studied for carbonylation and hydroformylation reactions. Depending on the substituent on the phosphorus atoms the electronic and steric properties can be tuned to direct the reaction towards the desired pr…
The development of thin film photovoltaics for solar energy conversion is a critical technology for NASA. Thin film photovoltaics promise to provide the high power output, the low weight and packaging volume, and radiation resistance necessary for short and long term space missi…
Fossil fuels are a finite resource and will eventually run out. The use of fossil fuels contributes to global warming from air pollution created mainly by the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, which encourages using other energy alternatives. Finding clean and renewable energy sour…
