Yet what you actually saw…

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers discovered two unusual molecules in rye pollen that appeared to slow tumor growth in animal studies. Despite the promising findings, the research reached a dead end because scientists could not determine the molecules’ exact three dimensional structures. Now, chemists at Northwestern University have solved that long standing mystery. By constructing…

Shmerkin, from the University of British Columbia, who had also worked on the Falconer distance problem, noticed Wang’s talent while visiting Guth at MIT. She struck him as creative, and as a sponge for new techniques. She seemed to understand incidence geometry deeply even though she had only recently started working on it. The research…
