Can thalidomide be rehabilitated?

Article Abstract:

Researchers have designed a new thalidomide variant that may be effective in suppressing rheumatoid arthritis and other antiinflamatory diseases without serious side effects. The compound inhibits tumor necrosis factor, which can lead to imflammatory diseases when overexpressed.

Organic light emitters gain longevity

Article Abstract:

Interest is growing again in organic thin film displays as researchers develop films with longer lives and better light emission. Lifetimes of 10,000 hours or more are now possible, which makes practical the use of organic films in applications such as alphanumeric displays.

Fine-tuning polymers

Article Abstract:

Researchers have developed new catalysts, based on nickel and palladium, which have produced polymers with various structures and degrees of flexibility. The variation was produced by varying the temperature and pressure during the reaction.
