Chemists have developed a strategy for the atomically precise synthesis of fully conjugated zigzag-edged carbon nanobelts. The obtained molecule is acknowledged as one of the first fully characterised synthetic segments of zigzag-edged carbon nanotube. Such molecular structures have been elusive targets for synthetic chemists for the past 35 years.

Scientists are now measuring tinier moon dust particles than ever before, a step toward more precisely explaining the Moon's apparent color and brightness. This in turn might help improve tracking of weather patterns and other phenomena by satellite cameras that use the Moon as a calibration source.
