Mass spectrometry maps the chemistry of a 1690 painting Details revealed by MALDI-MSI include pigment molecules and a thin layer of gold

A matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging analysis of a paint sample from the edge of The Marriage of the Virgin (circa 1690 by José Sánchez) has allowed researchers to see layers of materials and identify the molecules within them.

Glyphosate could be boosting spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria Extensive application of the weed killer in Argentina may be unintentionally selecting for bacteria already resistant to many antibiotics

Researchers have found that multidrug-resistant bacteria from hospitals are also highly resistant to the common herbicide glyphosate. The study sparks concerns that exposure to the common chemical could be allowing drug-resistant bacteria to thrive.

WHY does my pump make a HORRIBLE ear-splitting racket for 5-45 min after turning it on. After that time it settles down. Doesn't seem to be related to amount or cleanliness of oil, or the belt. I think it's in the oil reservoir. 🧪 #chemsky
