Science and Technology Must Deliver for the Public - Federation of American Scientists

The latest chemistry news, including important research advances, business and policy trends, chemical safety practices, career guidance, and more. Many commercial products, including plasticizers and detergents, rely on aldehyde building blocks. Hydroformylation constructs aldehydes from alkenes and synthesis gas—a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The industrial process currently uses rhodium-based catalysts that are expensive, involve toxic phosphine-containing ligands, and occur in the same phase as the reactants, which complicates catalyst recovery.

Save $500: If you’re planning a Halloween movie marathon, don’t miss your chance to save $500 on an upgrade to Samsung’s 65-inch S90H OLED TV. Samsung makes some of the best TVs on the market, and this flagship screen is no exception. It retails for $1,898, but a rare $500 price drop brings it down to $1,398. It’s still a high number, but it’s a new record-low price for this model. The Samsung OLED S90H is a strong choice if you’re looking to upgrade your home theater with premium picture quality. Its OLED panel delivers deep blacks and vibrant colors, while OLED HDR Plus and the NQ4 AI Gen3 processor work together to sharpen details and enhance contrast. Samsung’s 4K AI Upscaling Pro helps older content look cleaner and more refined, and the glare-free display makes it easier to watch in bright rooms.

Water electrolysis is a promising method that uses electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen without producing carbon dioxide (CO₂).

As insurers modernise their technology, acquire businesses, and expand AI initiatives, the quality and accessibility of their data is becoming increasingly important. ReSource Pro is building its Data Services practice to address that challenge, helping insurance businesses migrate, modernise, integrate and improve their data to deliver better insights and create the trusted foundation for its broader Managed AI Services offering. For Gerry Leitão, Head of Data Services at ReSource Pro (pictured), the work starts with understanding the outcome an insurer is trying to achieve rather than leading with a technology decision. The Data Services practice launched this spring, bringing together capabilities from three ReSource Pro acquisitions across the carrier, MGA and retail insurance markets. The combined practice now operates a single data migration factory delivering between 50 and 75 migrations a year. ReSource Pro has completed more than 500 migration and data conversion projects, moving more than 1 billion records. Turning migration into data improvementReSource Pro sees core system migrations and acquisitions as opportunities to address wider data issues.
