30、 about careers in agriculture. Aside from trying to stop the graying of Americas farmers, her work is made tougher by a recent blog posting that put agriculture at No. 1 on a list of “useless” college degrees. Top federal agriculture officials are talking about the posting, and it has the attention

31、of agricultural organizations across the country.“There couldnt be anything thats more incorrect,” Merrigan said. “We know that there arent enough qualified graduates to fill the jobs that are out there in American agriculture.”In addition, a growing world population that some experts predict will r

39、ical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is toput the drugs inside a capsule, protecting them from the bodyand the body from themuntil theycan be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger (引发) this release, including changing temper

40、ature, acidity, and so on. But triggers can come with their own risksburns, for example. Now, researchers in California have designed what could be a harmless trigger to date: shining near-infrared light (NIR, 近红外线) on the drug in the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsu

41、le isnt new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers (聚合物) and other materials that begin to break down when theyabsorb either ultraviolet (UV, 紫外线) or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV andvisible light, which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin, w

42、here the light canreach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues, so researchers have tried to use it as atrigger. But few compounds (化合物) absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes.That changed last year when Adah Almutairi, a chemist at the University of California, SanDiego, rep

43、orted that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when itabsorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIR-absorbing group calledo-nitrobenzyl (ONB). When they catch the light, ONB groups fall off the polymer, leading to itsbreakdown. But ONB is only a so-so NIR absorber, and it could be poisonous to cells when itseparates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better.This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polyme
