            "description": "The first-ever detection of this rare form of water in a protoplanetary disk suggests that what we drink might have been around for a very long time.",
            "content": "Standard water is made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. But there is a version of hydrogen called deuterium. Just like hydrogen, it has one proton and one electron, but it also has one neutron, making it heavier. Water made of two deuterium... [1926 chars]",

            "title": "Researchers discover spontaneous chirality in conjugated polymers",
            "description": "Chirality, a property where structures have a distinct left- or right-handedness, allows natural semiconductors to move charge and convert energy with high efficiency by controlling electron spin and the angular momentum of light. A new study has revealed that many conjugated polymers, long considered structurally neutral, can spontaneously twist into chiral shapes. This surprising behavior, overlooked for decades, could pave the way for development of a new class of energy-efficient electronics inspired by nature.",
