Scientists finally confirm vitamin B1 hypothesis from 1958

Chemists have confirmed a 67-year-old theory about vitamin B1 by stabilizing a reactive molecule in water -- a feat long thought impossible. The discovery not only solves a biochemical mystery, but also opens the door to greener, more efficient ways of making pharmaceuticals.
