UIC and Japanese chemists close in on molecular switch
The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will be as tiny as single molecules. View More (2007-07-11)
Battery-powered vehicles to be revolutionized by Universite de Montreal technology
Thousands of small electric scooters, bicycles and wheelchairs throughout Europe and Asia are powered by LifePO4 -- a material used in advanced lithium-ion batteries developed by Université de Montréal researchers. View More (2009-05-06)
Queen's chemist sheds light on health benefits of garlic
Researchers have widely believed that the organic compound, allicin - which gives garlic its aroma and flavour - acts as the world's most powerful antioxidant. But until now it hasn't been clear how allicin works, or how it stacks up compared to more common antioxidants such as Vitamin E and coenzyme Q10, which stop the damaging effects of radicals.

Precise measurement of phenomenon advances solar cell understanding
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have shed light on a basic process that could improve future solar cells. View More (2008-11-19)
Self-healing polymer 'starfish' prolong lifetime of automotive oils
Researchers have created self-healing polymers that could extend the lifetime of automotive oils. View More (2010-02-01)
Coating approach clears up fingerprints
CSI notwithstanding, forensics experts cannot always retrieve fingerprints from objects, but a conformal coating process developed by Penn State professors can reveal hard-to-develop fingerprints on nonporous surfaces without altering the chemistry of the print. View More (2010-05-12)
Ice tubes in polar seas -- 'brinicles' or 'sea stalactites' -- provide clues to origin of life
Life on Earth may have originated not in warm tropical seas, but with weird tubes of ice - sometimes called "sea stalactites" - that grow downward into cold seawater near the Earth's poles, scientists are reporting. View More (2013-04-25)
Copper-Free Click Chemistry Used in Mice
For the first time, the widely used molecular synthesis technique known as click chemistry has been safely applied to a living organism. View More (2010-01-20)
Drop in acid rain altering Appalachian stream water
Appalachian hardwood forests may be getting a respite from acid rain but data from a long-term ecological study of stream chemistry suggests that the drop in acid rain may be changing biological activity in the ecosystem and hiking dissolved carbon dioxide in forest streams. View More (2006-12-12)
Phantom parent molecule of important class of chemical compounds isolated for first time
A team of scientists from the University of Georgia and two European universities has, for the first time, synthesized and characterized the elusive parent molecule of an important class of chemical compounds. View More (2008-06-12)
Cold chemistry
The creation of the Universe was a messy business, and billions of years after the Big Bang, material still litters the dark space between stars. View More (2011-11-01)
Iowa State chemists discover method to create high-value chemicals from biomass
Iowa State University researchers have found a way to produce high-value chemicals such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol from biomass rather than petroleum sources. View More (2010-09-03)
UC Researcher Announces Progress Toward New Chemotherapy Agents
Advances in chemotherapy have dramatically improved the outlook for many cancer patients, but the side effects of this treatment are daunting. View More (2012-03-27)
Nanoforum Education Catalogue for Higher Education in Nanotechnology
Nanoforum is pleased to announce the online publication of the "Education Catalogue" which is a complete handbook for people in the university system (professors, students, careers advisors). It provides information on all undergraduate, graduate, and short courses related to nanoscience and nanotechnology in the EU and associated states. It can be downloaded for free from the nanoforum... View More (2005-02-18)
Computational chemistry shows the way to safer biofuels
Replacing gasoline and diesel with plant-based bio fuels is crucial to curb climate change. But there are several ways to transform crops to fuel, and some of the methods result in bio fuels that are harmful to health as well as nature. View More (2011-08-01)
Development of environmentally friendly metal finishing process
The University of Leicester is playing a key part in a network of 33 companies and universities, set up to develop pioneering new processes for metal coatings which will offer benefits to a wide range of industries, including automotive and aerospace component manufacturers. View More (2004-11-25)
Boosting the sensitivity of airport security screening
Scientists are reporting a simple way to improve the sensitivity of the test often used to detect traces of explosives on the hands, carry-ons and other possessions of passengers at airport security screening stations. Their report appears in ACS' The Journal of Physical Chemistry C. View More (2012-11-15)
Pesticides need sunscreen to beat the heat
A pesticide with a new in-built sunscreen will help farmers beat the heat in crop protection. This means that the bug sprays last longer, as they are protected from the strong rays of sunshine, reports Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. View More (2006-12-18)
