This year’s pittcon aims to be the most comprehensive conference and exposition on laboratory science.

Researchers detect and quantitate unlabeled chemical toxins with a portable device.

C&EN cover story gives a rundown of Pittcon in Orlando.

A nanostructured immunosensor measures IL-6 concentrations as low as 0.5 pg/mL.

Inexpensive inkjet printers and scanners enable big advances in the small world of UTLC.

Analytical electron microscopy-empowered by advances in electron optics and detectors-is poised to radically transform our understanding of the complex phenomena arising from atomic and electronic structure in materials chemistry.

The Editor reviews the types of recommendation letters a researcher may be asked to write.

Raman spectroscopy, phase contrast microscopy, and optical trapping are combined to gain information with high temporal resolution.

Monitoring personal exposure to the pollutant ozone becomes possible for the first time with the development of a miniaturized ozone monitor.

As the clock turns over an arbitrary time boundary that marks one year from the next, many reflect on their past and make promises of change for the future.

Not one to want to feel left out in such reflecting, I, too, have made promises for the year (and, really, years) ahead. Well, one in particular: be more creative.

Being more creative was purposely vague so as to leave numerous avenues in which to pursue that creativity. Web design and development is assuredly a given, as that’s well within my wheelhouse of skills. Tangentially, I’ve been working to improve my photography and photo editing skills, turning that work into one web project or another. More writing. And cooking.

Each new channel of exploration has become a new way to spend money. There’s a name for this: The Diderot Effect.

The Diderot Effect states that obtaining a new possession often creates a spiral of consumption which leads you to acquire more new things. As a result, we end up buying things that our previous selves never needed to feel happy or fulfilled.

Photography is fun. Surely, I’d have better photos with that particular camera. Or the latest iPhone. Or that new lens. Y’know, I really need a better camera strap. And a new shoulder bag. Maybe a backpack for particular trips to carry all this gear.

Cooking is fun. Let’s give sous vide a go. I need the plastic tub that is especially designed for the wand. And the wire mesh to hold the food off the bottom. And a cast iron pan would really be better than my 10 year old teflon pans. Oh, and a blow torch for post-bath Maillard reactions. (And maybe try my hand at a crème brûlée while I’m at it.)

Making coffee is fun. Yes, I must have the double boiler espresso machine. And grinder, of course. And knock box. And some lovely cups to go with it.

Oh, I’ll tell you with a straight face that I’m a modern minimalist man but I have a knack for filling up my home with all the latest gadgets in pursuit of something to fill my spare time. In my effort to produce more, I end up consuming more.

Maybe in an effort to be more creative, I should be more creative in accomplishing my goals without all the gadgets.

Right after I buy this thing I need for the kitchen.

You’re working on a project and in it you see a button. It looks like a button, it acts like a button. It is a button. It is a <button>. It is a .button.

But is every <button> a .button? Is every .button a <button>?

Let’s take a look at some very specific examples:

We essentially have three different types of buttons:

1. Image-only buttons (the next/previous paddles)
2. Text-only buttons (the cancel link)
3. Like, actual buttons

On most projects, I see developers choose to identify all of these as the same component: the .button.

As a result of trying to shoehorn everything under the umbrella of a single component, we run into a lot of style overrides. The default style is the actual button. And then text buttons need to strip away all those styles. And image buttons have other constraints like handling hover and active states of the images.

1. .button--image
2. .button--link
3. .button

Different Patterns, Different Components

Just because the HTML under the hood is the same, doesn’t mean we need to use the same class for everything. Since we have three different types of buttons, we should identify them as such.

1. .image-button
2. .link-button
3. .button

Or whatever name you want to come up with. (Naming things is hard.)

With each clearly defined, there is no need to override styles to add or takeaway styles applied by other button styles. This simplicity results in less complexity and possibly even less code by not having to override existing styles.

Twenty-one billboards dotted around the UNESCO World Heritage city of Vilnius feature photographs of men, women and children wearing masks as part of a ‘Mask Fashion Week’.

The Men’s Milan Fashion Week set for June will be postponed to mid-July and presented in purely digital format with photos and video to avoid the risk

Chief minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday refuted rumours that the army would be called out in Mumbai as Covid-19 cases showed no signs of abating, and said if required, the state may seek additional forces from the Centre to afford rest to the stretched state police force in a phased manner. “If you violate the lockdown, you are extending the crisis,” he said.

Two women – one who runs a rice and fish curry pice hotel on the pavement opposite to Science College in Ballygunge and the other who owns multiple Chinese cuisine restaurants in the city - have emerged as Kolkata’s standout Covid heroes through their acts of compassion.

Two months after Karnataka registered its first COVID-19 positive case, the state completed one lakh-test milestone on Friday, Medical Education Minister K. Sudhakar said on Saturday.
