often present at low concentrations, individual compounds contribute to mixture effects. …

We report the observation of entanglement between a single trapped atom and a single
photon at a wavelength suitable for low-loss communication over large distances, thereby …

There is an increasing body of evidence to support the significant role of invertebrates in
assessing impacts of environmental contaminants on marine ecosystems. Therefore, in recent …

Biotransformation is a two-phase process catalyzed primarily through enzymatic reactions
