This is a really basic summary of how pregnancy tests detect HCG that I made for revision notes for OCR Human Biology A2.
A couple of organic chemists from Rice University synthesized a class of anthropomorphic compounds back in 2003. They took a hint from Jonathan Swift and called them The NanoPutians.
I don’t really know how this thesis came to be (or how it came to be in the The Journal of Organic Chemistry), but I’ll stop asking questions for a moment and just enjoy molecular beings dancing across my screen.
how adorable!

This is a picture I drew for my Nitrogen Cycle revision. I couldn’t make it too big as I needed to print it off for my notes and I didn’t have much ink left.
