U of C chemists discover recipe to design a better type of fuel cell
Fuel cells are often touted as one method to help decrease society's addiction to fossil fuels. But there is still a lot of work to be done before fuel cells will be ready for mass market to be used in transportation, home heating and portable power for emergencies. view more (2009-10-19)
Satellite sniffs out chemical traces of atmospheric pollution
The recent Hague talks on global warming focused attention on the so-called greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. But these gases are only a part of the story. Mankind generates a wide variety of emissions that are changing the chemistry and composition of our planet~s atmosphere. Satellite monitoring is helping scientists to understand those... view more... (2000-12-15)
Focus on functional materials development shortchanges opportunities for discovery
