Charles Messier first discovered two of the galaxies, M84 and M86, in 1781. The other galaxies seen in the chain were discovered by William Herschel and are now known p... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12198611 |

Epipodophyllotoxin Epipodophyllotoxins are substances naturally occurring in the root of American Mayapple plant ("Podophyllum peltatum"). Some epipodophyllotoxin derivatives are currently used in the treatment of cancer. These include etoposide and teniposide. They act as anti-cancer drugs by inhibiting topoisomerase ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12235647 |
NGC 5676 is an unbarred spiral galaxy in the constellation Boötes. This spiral galaxy is notably asymmetric. The spiral arms on the south side of the galaxy are chaotic in appearance, whereas the spiral arms on the north side of the galaxy are very well-defined. Also, the spiral arms on the south side of the disk exten... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12235706 |
Oil bath An oil bath is a type of heated bath used in a laboratory, most commonly used to heat up chemical reactions. It's essentially a container of oil that is heated by a hot plate or (in rare cases) a Bunsen burner. These baths are commonly used to heat reaction mixtures more evenly than would be possible with a ho... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12246212 |
Volume operator A quantum field theory of general relativity provides operators that measure the geometry of space time. The volume operator formula_1 of a region formula_2 is defined as the operator that yields the expectation value of a volume measurement of the region formula_2, given a state formula_4 of quantum Ge... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12247661 |
Jacques E. Brandenberger Jacques Edwin Brandenberger (19 October 1872 – 13 July 1954) was a Swiss chemist and textile engineer who in 1908 invented cellophane. He was awarded the Franklin Institute's Elliott Cresson Medal in 1937. Brandenberger was born in Zurich in 1872. He graduated from the University of Bern in 189... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12251618 |
Natural refrigerant Natural refrigerants are natural substances that serve as refrigerants in refrigeration systems (including refrigerators, HVAC, and air conditioning). They are alternatives to hydrofluorocarbon (HFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) based refrigerants. Unlike other refrig... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12262882 |

Otto Dimroth (28 March 1872 – 16 May 1940) was a German chemist. He is known for the Dimroth rearrangement, as well as a type of condenser with an internal double spiral, the Dimroth condenser. His son was also a renowned chemist, who described the first synthesis of 3-benzoxepin. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12274597 |
Ed Nather R. Edward Nather (1926 – 2014) was the Rex G. Baker, Jr. and McDonald Observatory Centennial Research Professor Emeritus in Astronomy at UT Austin.

He served as the director of the Who... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12274706 |
Golay cell The is a type of opto-acoustic detector mainly used for infrared spectroscopy. It consists of a gas-filled enclosure with an infrared absorbing material and a flexible diaphragm or membrane. When infrared radiation is absorbed, it heats the gas, causing it to expand. The resulting increase in pressure deform... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=12282750 |
Chivela Pass The is a narrow mountain pass in the Sierra Madre Mountains that funnels cooler, drier air from the North American continent, through southern Mexico, into the Pacific.
