Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed a new method to synthesize 9 core-functionalised naphthalene diimide (c-NDI) compounds using a three-step, solvent-free process that activates chemicals mechanically.
  • They achieved selective dibromination of naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride in a vibratory ball mill, producing a key intermediate (2,6-dibromonaphthalenediimide) quickly and efficiently within 5 hours, significantly faster than traditional methods.
  • The study also successfully executed rapid Heck-type cross coupling reactions with various styrene residues, resulting in good yields of c-NDIs without the need for extra heating or solvents, making the process robust against environmental conditions.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a world-wide public health threat that is projected to lead to 10 million annual deaths globally by 2050. The AMR public health issue has led to the development of action plans to combat AMR, including improved antimicrobial stewardship, development of new antimicrobials, and advanced monitoring. The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) led by the United States (U.

The majority of massive disk galaxies in the local Universe show a stellar barred structure in their central regions, including our Milky Way. Bars are supposed to develop in dynamically cold stellar disks at low redshift, as the strong gas turbulence typical of disk galaxies at high redshift suppresses or delays bar formation. Moreover, simulations predict bars to be almost absent beyond z = 1.

During the first 500 million years of cosmic history, the first stars and galaxies formed, seeding the Universe with heavy elements and eventually reionizing the intergalactic medium. Observations with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a surprisingly high abundance of candidates for early star-forming galaxies, with distances (redshifts, z), estimated from multiband photometry, as large as z ≈ 16, far beyond pre-JWST limits. Although such photometric redshifts are generally robust, they can suffer from degeneracies and occasionally catastrophic errors.
