When humans look at something we find beautiful it causes dopamine release in our brains & looking at plants shifts our brain activity away from fight or flight & into rest & digest mode. A field of phacelia, Norfolk:

South Korea's first Nobel literature prize goes to a woman whose fiction regularly touches on dissident and rebellious/subversive behavior during a time when women are speaking out about misogyny and violence they are experiencing. The timing!

Today is #NationalNanoTechnologyDay Here's an old graphic in @cenmag.bsky.social looking at everyday uses of nanotechnology!

Infographic on everyday uses of nanotechnology. The uses showcased include silver nanoparticles in antimicrobial applications, titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide nanoparticles in sunscreens, UV-absorbing nanoparticles in clothes, carbon nanoparticles in sports equipment and quantum dots in TVs.

The 2024 #NobelPrize in Chemistry was awarded for computational protein design and protein structure prediction 🏅 Here's a brief explainer! View and download this graphic here #ChemSky 🧪 #SciComm

The 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to David Baker for computational protein design and to Demis Hassabis and John M. Jumper for protein structure prediction. Proteins are important biological molecules formed from 20 naturally occurring amino acids. Proteins form folded 3D structures which are key to their function and properties, but the exact way in which they fold is hard to predict. A protein with just 100 amino acids could have 10^47 different 3D structures. In 2020, Demis Hassabis, John Jumper and their co-workers unveiled an artificial intelligence model called AlphaFold2 to predict 3D folded structures of proteins. David Baker developed Rosetta, software that also attempts to predict protein structures, and used it to start with a protein structure and use the software to work out its amino acid sequence. By doing this proteins that do not occur naturally can be produced.

"In the unlikely event of a sudden loss of cabin pressure, oxygen masks will drop from the panel above your head." But where does this oxygen come from? This edition of #PeriodicGraphics in @cenmag.bsky.social takes a look at that and some other in-flight chemistry: bit.ly/3XBs9RZ

Infographic on the chemistry oof air on a plane.
Airliners pressurize onboard air to make flights more comfortable. In the cabin, the air pressure is 75.1 kPa, compared with 101 kPa at sea level. Cabin air is a mix of fresh and filtered air and is renewed up to 30 times an hour. Filters remove bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
Airplanes cruise in the lower stratosphere, where the ozone concentration is slightly higher than at ground level. This increases cabin ozone levels, which can cause headaches and breathing problems. Many planes use devices to convert ozone in air into oxygen before it enters the cabin.
A chemical system produces the oxygen provided by masks that drop from an airplane’s ceiling in an emergency. Pulling the mask down releases a firing pin from the oxygen generator cylinder. This release ignites a mixture of an oxidizer and iron powder. The heat from burning iron decomposes the oxidizer, a process that produces oxygen. The generator produces oxygen for 15–20 min.
