This practice, called index arbitrage, has been blamed for the sharply increased volatility of the market, though the point has never been conclusively proved. Indeed, some experts believe index arbitrage actually reduces volatility...

In nature, molecules that work together have complementary shapes, like a lock and a key, and only the right key will fit to initiate a given reaction. In essence, the trio managed to create synthetic molecular keys that fit the locks as well. Those new molecules have been used experimentally to partially detoxify rats contaminated with lead or radioactive strontium...
