several sites on reverse image search said this is an ISU-152 self-propelled gun, abandoned in Chernobyl
Some folks built this thing, and things happened, and now, here it is on your computer or smartphone. I know we're not in the Matrix because the Matrix couldn't be this weird. Real life is real ❤️

Researchers at the University of Münster, led by Prof. Frank Glorius, have developed a novel light-driven technique to create highly strained ring-shaped molecules called housanes. These tiny molecules, named for their resemblance to simple house drawings, are valuable for drug development and materials science because their internal tension can drive chemical reactions efficiently. Traditional methods of producing housanes often require harsh conditions like high temperatures and are limited in tolerating functional groups, which are critical for molecular behavior and properties. By using photocatalysis and carefully adjusting the molecular side chains of 1,4-diene starting materials, the team was able to suppress unwanted side reactions and guide the molecules into the desired compact, high-energy structures. Computer simulations helped the researchers understand the reaction mechanism and optimize the process. This new method makes the production of these challenging molecules more accessible and versatile, potentially enabling the synthesis of a wider range of pharmaceuticals and advanced materials. Overall, this advancement could have significant implications for both fundamental chemistry research and practical applications in medicine and material science.

👃🧬 Scientists are using cryo-electron #microscopy to visualize how scent #molecules bind to receptors in the nose.
The structural details help explain how the #brain distinguishes between thousands of different odors based on molecular shape and #chemistry. The findings provide a clearer understanding of the biological process that allows us to experience the world through smell.

I’m carbon 🧪
I don’t like being alone, I need to form bonds, and my favorite way is with four hydrogens 🤝
That’s how I complete my life structure—stable, satisfied, and always forming connections in a perfect 3D shape called tetrahedral geometry 🤯
In chemistry, I don’t just exist… I bond to survive 🔬
