Enabling graphene-based technology via chemical functionalization
Graphene is an atomically thin sheet of carbon that has attracted significant attention due to its potential use in high-performance electronics, sensors and alternative energy devices such as solar cells. view more (2009-05-18)
Studying component parts of living cells with carbon nanotube cellular probes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great potential for use as cellular probes. As "nanopipes" they can be used to transport liquids to or from cells and inject solutions or drugs directly into individual cells and individual organelles within the cells. view more (2007-10-05)

No more loose screws!
Machine parts and tools with a functional coating made of diamond-like carbon are not only more wear-resistant than usual ones, but also smarter. At the Hanover Fair, visitors can see ”intelligent“ washers and tools that measure whether screws are sufficiently tight. ---------- Modern wind turbines are exposed to a considerable air... view more...

A receipe for success
Mix chocolate with some cheddar cheese; add some zebra mussels and throw in a dose of heat and what you'll get is a fresh look at what 21st century chemical engineering all about. This was the theme of a lecture held on 8th March 2004 at the University of Birmingham's chemical engineering department. The lecture's main speaker, Dr Geoff Moggridge... view more... (2004-03-08)
New technique measures chemical composition of tiny details
The method which the Eindhoven have developed is based on the radiation emitted by an object when it is irradiated by a beam of electrons. The measurable phenomenon occurs because the electrons in the beam collide with electrons in the atoms making up the object so that they enter an excited state. When the electrons return to the free state, with... view more... (2000-01-18)
Psychological effects of biological and chemical weapons may be worse than physical symptoms
The long term psychological implications of a chemical or biological terrorist attack may be more damaging than any acute physical effects, according to researchers from the UK and USA in this week's BMJ. Professor Simon Wessely and colleagues argue that the main purpose of these weapons is to wreak destruction via psychological means - by... view more... (2001-10-17)
Distant Attraction
Sopow and colleagues report in the February issue of Ecology Letters that a chemical stimulus from a galling insect changes the morphology and physiology of its host to benefit these specialized plant feeders. Galls are atypical plant growths that provide nourishment and shelter for gall-inducing insects. Previous studies could not determine... view more... (2003-01-29)
UK Chemical Manufacturers Airs its Views at European Public Hearing
Judith Hackitt, Director General of the Chemical Industries Association (CIA), spoke at a European Parliament Public Hearing on REACH (Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals) in Brussels today. view more (2005-01-19)
American Chemical Society supports teaching evolution in K-12
The American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, is reiterating its call for evolution to be included in the K-12 science curricula at an "age-appropriate level," because it is "central to our modern understanding of science." view more (2005-08-16)

Virtual Milkround - the future of graduate recruitment
Eighty-eight percent of final year students actively use the Internet as a job-seeking tool, according to the Association of Graduate Recruiters. Online recruitment is more popular than ever, particularly for first positions. The Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) is meeting the recruitment challenges of a connected world with the launch... view more... (2000-10-23)
When a good nanoparticle goes bad
Researchers at Cornell University recently made a major breakthrough when they invented a method to test and demonstrate a long-held hypothesis that some very, very small metal particles work much better than others in various chemical processes such as converting chemical energy to electricity in fuel cells or reducing automobile pollution. view more (2008-11-11)
Researcher working on destruction of chemical weapons
America's war on terror includes fighting the dark side of deadly chemical agents, and Texas A&M University chemist Dr. Frank Raushel is helping with the fight by developing an enzyme that might neutralize one such chemical agent, the organophosphates. view more (2008-09-25)
Chemical Industry Encouraged by Budget Call for Better Regulation
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) is delighted by today's strong and clear Budget focus on better regulation, and the pioneering approach adopted by Sir Philip Hampton's Report, to which the CIA and its members made a strong contribution. view more (2005-03-16)
