Caffeine is bitter, and in large doses it is toxic to many insects, so the leaves and seeds that carry it are better protected from being eaten. Coffee, tea and cacao each found their own route to the molecule, a hint that caffeine earns its keep. There is a gentler side too. The nectar of coffee flowers carries a small dose. In experiments, honeybees given sugar water with the same small dose were three times as likely to remember a floral scent a day later as bees given sugar water alone. A bee that remembers the scent is more likely to come back to the same kind of flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eExplore Related Molecules Jewelry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/caffeine-studs\"\u003ecaffeine studs | silver\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/caffeine-18k-gold-plated\"\u003ecaffeine necklace | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/caffeine-earrings-gold-vermeil\"\u003ecaffeine earrings | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/dopamine-studs-gold-vermeil\"\u003edopamine studs | gold vermeil\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top:2em;\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eHow big are they, and how do they close?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach stud is 11 by 14 mm (about half an inch), a little smaller than a US dime. They sit on the earlobe and close with ear nuts on gold vermeil posts. 18K gold vermeil means 2.5 microns of 18K gold over solid sterling silver, nickel-free and hypoallergenic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top:1.75em;\"\u003eIs there a silver pair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

In 1819 Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge visited Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to show him how belladonna extract widens the pupil of a cat. Goethe was impressed, handed him a box of rare coffee beans and suggested he analyze them. Within months Runge had isolated the bitter substance we now call caffeine. Its chemical structure, the one these studs are based on, was only worked out by Hermann Emil Fischer near the end of the century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n","brand":"sciencejewelry1824","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57029102829954,"sku":"ER0070-GV","price":200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1411\/4806\/files\/caffeine-studs-gold-vermeil.png?v=1794403867","url":"https:\/\/sciencejewelry1824.shop\/products\/caffeine-studs-gold-vermeil","provider":"sciencejewelry1824","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
