Thermoelectric materials are among the important potential candidates for alternative and complementary sources for energy, wherein heat can be directly converted into electrical energy and vice versa. These materials are realistic operational materials for applications in thermoelectric generators and refrigerators. Recent studies have started examining their efficiency in smaller, flexible devices, in hope of revolutionizing the thermoelectric power generation field.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a condition where the blood pressure in the arteries in the lung is higher than it should be. It is a serious problem and at this point in time, the cause is unknown. With various treatment options requiring injections into the skin, much like a diabetic might take insulin, there has been significant research into the best way to properly synthesize the more complex components of these drugs.

Axon guidance is a subfield of neural development that examines the process that neurons send out nerve cells to their intended targets. Axons often follow exceptionally precise paths within the nervous system, and these paths have been the inspiration of substantial research. The improved understanding of these pathways could improve our understanding of how the human brain works.

Atropurpuran is from a class of natural chemical compounds that is thought to relieve pain, particularly in folk medicine in the northern hemisphere.

The influence of light on specific photoreceptor cells within plants is responsible for every stage of a plant’s development, from seed to seedling to plant. Both the presence and absence of light influence the growth of plants while they are seedlings in different ways. Understanding how mutations in different photoreceptor cells can influence the growth of plants is critical to understanding changes in our environment.

Sesterterpenoids, a rare type of terpene that is produced from a variety of plants and insects, have been the source of much research around the world and play an important role in synthetic organic chemistry and drug discovery.
