The Crick, Brenner et al. experiment (1961) was a scientific experiment performed by Francis Crick, Sydney Brenner, Leslie Barnett and R.J. Watts-Tobin. It was a key experiment in the development of what is now known as molecular biology and led to a publication entitled "The General Nature of the Genetic Code for Proteins" and according to the historian of Science Horace Judson is "regarded ...
Diatomic carbon (systematically named dicarbon and 1λ 2,2λ 2-ethene), is a green, gaseous inorganic chemical with the chemical formula C=C (also written [C 2] or C 2). It is kinetically unstable at ambient temperature and pressure, being removed through autopolymerisation .
Homochirality is an obvious characteristic of life on Earth, yet extraterrestrial samples contain largely racemic compounds. [7] It is not known whether homochirality existed before life, whether the building blocks of life must have this particular chirality, or whether life must be homochiral at all.
The book's prose is humorous, and the chapters are also frequently accompanied by the author's illustrations, done in the same minimalist, stick figure style as his webcomic. [2] Many of the book's questions were submitted by children, and these are generally preferred by Munroe, who considers them more straightforward than the elaborate ...
[6] [8] Szilárd pointed out that a real-life Maxwell's demon would need to have some means of measuring molecular speed, and that the act of acquiring information would require an expenditure of energy. Since the demon and the gas are interacting, we must consider the total entropy of the gas and the demon combined.
CCS can be a ligand. It can form an asymmetrical bridge between two molybdenum atoms in Mo2(μ,σ(C):η 2 (C′S)-CCS)(CO) 4 (hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) 2 In this one carbon atom has a triple bond to a molybdenum and the other has a double bond to the other molybdenum atom, which also has a single bond to the sulfur atom.
Carbon suboxide, or tricarbon dioxide, is an organic, oxygen-containing chemical compound with formula C 3 O 2 and structure O=C=C=C=O. Its four cumulative double bonds make it a cumulene. It is one of the stable members of the series of linear oxocarbons O=C n =O, which also includes carbon dioxide (CO 2) and pentacarbon dioxide (C 5 O 2).
