Rice University engineers adapt 2D ‘sandwich’ for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy.
A sandwich of molybdenum, sulfur, and selenium turns out to be deliciously useful for detecting biomolecules.
Tests at Rice University’s Brown School of Engineering of a two-dimensional Janus compound showed it could be an effective and universal platform for improving the detection of biomolecules via surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS).
Humanity has started off the new millennium with some astounding accomplishments.

The Thunder Child is a high speed, wavepiercing boat that is unsinkable! 🚤 🌊.
The coronavirus pandemic has forced economists, financiers, executives, and policymakers to jettison or dramatically revise their forecasts for 2020. But what will the future look like on the other side of the crisis? We asked a variety of leaders from around the world for their best guess on how our lives will be fundamentally changed.
Economists, investors, and CEOs on how the coronavirus has forever changed the world.
It seems many people are breathing some relief, and I’m not sure why. An epidemic curve has a relatively predictable upslope and once the peak is reached, the back slope can also be predicted. We have robust data from the outbreaks in China and Italy, that shows the backside of the mortality curve declines slowly, with deaths persisting for months. Assuming we have just crested in deaths at 70k, it is possible that we lose another 70,000 people over the next 6 weeks as we come off that peak. That’s what’s going to happen with a lockdown.
