Carbon nanotube - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_n
The shortest carbon nanotube can be considered to be the organic compound cycloparaphenylene, which was synthesized in 2008 by Ramesh Jasti.[21] Other small molecule carbon nanotubes have been synthesized since.[22]

Cycloparaphenylene - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclopar
In 1934 by V. C. Parekh and P. C. Guha described the first published attempt to synthesize a cycloparaphenylene, specifically [2]CPP. They connected two aromatic rings with a sulfide bridge, and hoped that removal of the latter would yield the desired compound. However, the attempt failed as the compound would have been far too strained to exist under anything but extreme conditions.[3]

New, non-invasive blood sugar testing methods using saliva
phys.org/news/2021-10-non-inva
Gao's prototype saliva sensor uses copper nanomaterials which are anchored on a base strip made of graphene sheet. Graphene is an inexpensive carbon material that generally does not react with other compounds. "Graphene strips are thin and flexible just like paper, so you can deposit the materials on the top and it's still flexible," says Gao. "It's a promising substrate in biosensors."

WHAT IS LIFE - DNA and Dublin Schrodinger James Watson, francis Crick, Maurice Wilkinson, Rosalind Franklin, Charles Jencks
whatislife.ie/schrodinger.htm
Schrödinger, in war-isolated Dublin, did not know that excellent evidence that DNA was the genetic material had been produced by Oswald Avery and colleagues in New York. He argued from first principles that genes had to contain information, and they had to replicate. His idea of the aperiodic crystal is realised in the form of the DNA molecule. Watson and Crick sent a copy of their paper describing the Double Helix to Schrödinger in 1953 saying how they had been influenced by him.

The faster-than-fast Fourier transform

“In nature, most of the normal signals are sparse,” says Dina Katabi, one of the developers of the new algorithm. Consider, for instance, a recording of a piece of chamber music: The composite signal consists of only a few instruments each playing only one note at a time. A recording, on the other hand, of all possible instruments each playing all possible notes at once wouldn’t be sparse — but neither would it be a signal that anyone cares about.
