How Much Trans Fats Do You Eat?
Study of 339 German foods measures amount of trans fatty acids in common foods and identifies their source

Daisy-Chains and Hydrogels
Daisy-chain polymers form through self-complexation of pillar[5]arene derivative with a viologen side chain; as concentration rises, gel forms
