Visible-Light Mediated Organophotoredox Catalytic Deuteration of Aromatic and Aliphatic Aldehydes
This technology is an organophotoredox strategy that enables directly converting readily accessible aldehydes to their 1-deutero conterparts. The approach is distinct from the reported transition metal catalyzed ionic hydrogen-deuterium exchange (HDE) processes. The power of this new process has not only been demonstrated for aromatic aldehydes, but...

A Broad Spectrum Antimicrobial that Synergizes with Copper
University of Arizona researchers have developed an invention that synergizes with copper to kill and prevent further growth of a broad spectrum of pathogens (i.e both Streptococcus pneumoniae and Valley Fever with the potential to work on other pathogens). This therapy does not allow for resistance to be built by the microbes.
