Compared to "Brave New World" 2

New synthesis method imitates the way molecules were formed at the dawn of life on Earth- Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona

Summary:  Extracting the D-fructose-6-phosphate aldolase enzyme from E. coli, and combing that with simple structure molecules, chemist have created a way to synthesize molecules "very selectively." Angle and position of an organic molecule is important for how the molecule will work. Not only this but, the combinations of these catalyst compounds represents how early life formed on Earth. On top of this the process is efficient, and leaves no excess.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Importance: Learning about the origins of how carbohydrates combined to eventually initiate life on Earth, and allowing easier creation of pharmaceuticals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compare to Brave New World: Unlike the novel, in real life we are able to look back to the past, and observe. With this method we may even be able to view a representation on how life began on Earth, which in the society of the novel was only possible with the knowledge of ectogenesis. Beyond that citizens were stopped from seeing how life was before their era. With this science we can possibly see beyond human civilization.  More so we will have better pharmaceuticals that will help with getting rid of disease, and pain. In "Brave New World" they are able to be clean of pathogen to the point of not needing drugs therefore resort to "soma", a drug that takes away mental pain. I believe that this discovery leads humanity in a direction that will allow full potential.

Scientists Find Easier Way to Make New Drug Compounds- Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute

Summary: Chemist have innovated a way to change the molecules in organic chemistry. Prior to this discovery it was difficult to add on molecules to some parts of the base molecule. The original method to alter a  molecule was to change an already existing part of the molecule. Now chemist can remove a hydrogen atom and put into place a new chemical group. This is a new type of CH activation technique.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Importance: With this it is a faster way to synthesize drugs and chemicals.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Compared to Brave New World: Although an efficient process such as one in the novel, it is aiding in creating new drugs, and ways to help the world. This is very far away from the unethical ways of the society.
