While theoretical studies predicted the stability and exotic properties of plumbene, the last group-14 cousin of graphene, its realization has remained a challenging quest. Here, it is shown with compelling evidence that plumbene is epitaxially grown by segregation on a Pd Pb (111) alloy surface. In scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), it exhibits a unique surface morphology resembling the famous Weaire-Phelan bubble structure of the Olympic "WaterCube" in Beijing.

- Oseltamivir phosphate (Tamiflu) is converted into an active form by carboxylesterase, which then inhibits a key enzyme in the influenza virus.
- In a study on mice, oseltamivir was found to lower body temperature in a dose-dependent manner, with oral administration lasting longer but requiring higher doses compared to intraperitoneal injections.
- The hypothermic effects of oseltamivir may be linked to its metabolite, implying a connection to both antipyretic effects and instances of severe hypothermia seen in some influenza patients.
