New reagent delivers a chemical breakthrough at FSU
"Build a better mousetrap," the saying goes, "and the world will beat a path to your door." In the complex field of organic chemistry, that path leads to Florida State University, where a newly developed substance could make the jobs of scientists throughout the world a little... view more (2007-03-16)

Improved Method for Separation of Organic Isomers
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Inorganic Chemistry have devised a novel method for separating polar organic compounds, providing a useful alternative to the usual methods of chromatography or crystallisation. The separation of mixtures of organic and inorganic compounds is of... view more (2003-02-11)

First Advance Articles Now Available Free Online The first issue of Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, formed from the merger and strategic development of Perkin Transactions 1 & 2, will be published on 10 January 2003. The electronic version will go up on 23 December 2002. Barbara... view more (2002-12-05)

Oxygen trick could see organic costs tumble
A simple, cheap treatment using just oxygen could allow growers to store organic produce for longer and go a long way towards reducing the price of organic fruit and vegetables.   view more (2007-06-11)

Heart problem: York academics study cardiac rehab shortfall
Researchers at the University of York are trying to discover why so many heart attack victims in the UK fail to take part in potentially life-saving cardiac rehabilitation.   view more (2005-02-24)

Organic farming better for wildlife
A joint English Nature and RSPB scientific review comparing evidence about wildlife on organic and equivalent non-organic farms has concluded that organic farms are better for wildlife.   view more (2004-10-05)

Invisible gases form most organic haze in urban, rural areas
A new study involving the University of Colorado at Boulder shows that invisible, reactive gases hovering over Earth's surface, not direct emissions of particulates, form the bulk of organic haze in both urban and rural areas around the world.   view more (2007-07-10)

`Glowing` technique could detect river pollution
New technology used to analyse dissolved organic matter in river water could also help scientists detect and monitor pollution, according to a new research published in the journal Hydrological Processes (1). Dissolved organic matter is found in all river water, and can come from both a natural... view more (2002-10-07)

New materials for high efficiency organic solid state lighting
A new organic molecule developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists may significantly improve the efficiency of organic solid state lighting. Direct conversion of electricity to light in "solid state" thin films of organic molecules occurs in organic light emitting... view more (2006-03-30)

Uncharged organic molecule can bind negatively charged ions
Indiana University Bloomington chemists have designed an organic molecule that binds negatively charged ions, a feat they hope will lead to the development of a whole new molecular toolbox for biologists, chemists and medical researchers who want to remove chlorine, fluorine and other negatively... view more (2008-02-27)

UCLA chemists design world's lowest-density crystals for use in clean energy
Chemists at UCLA have designed new organic structures for the storage of voluminous amounts of gases for use in alternative energy technologies.   view more (2007-04-13)

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)

Organic nitrogen gives new clue to biodiversity
Scientists have found that organic nitrogen is more important for plant growth than previously thought and could contribute to maintaining diversity in grasslands.   view more (2006-04-12)

Model for the assembly of advanced, single-molecule-based electronic components developed at Pitt
Researchers based at the University of Pittsburgh have created the best method so far of assembling wire-like structures only a single molecule wide, a significant step in science's increasing attempts to reduce the circuitry size of electronic devices to the single molecule scale and provide... view more (2007-09-27)

Early Earth haze may have spurred life, says University of Colorado study
Hazy skies on early Earth could have provided a substantial source of organic material useful for emerging life on the planet.   view more (2006-11-07)

Scientists expand understanding of how river carbon impacts the Arctic Ocean
Arctic rivers transport huge quantities of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the Arctic Ocean. The prevailing paradigm regarding DOC in arctic rivers is that it is largely refractory, making it of little significance for the biogeochemistry of the Arctic Ocean.   view more (2008-02-13)

New optic fibre sensors capable of detecting organic compounds
This new research is presented in the Navarre chemist, Mar'­a Asunci'³n Luquin's PhD, "Synthesis and characterisation of de vapochromic substances for their implementation in optic fibre environmental sensors". The PhD has been presented in Public University of Navarre.   view more (2004-10-26)

New chemistry approach promises less expensive drugs
With a newly discovered method of assembling organic molecules, a team of Princeton University chemists may have found a way to sidestep many of the expensive and hazardous barriers that stand in the way of drug development.   view more (2007-03-30)

Research helps understand factors that influence efficiency of organic-based devices
Organic-based devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes, require a transparent conductive layer with a high work function, meaning it promotes injection of electron holes into an organic layer to produce more light.   view more (2008-07-09)

Small molecule interactions were central to the origin of life
In an important new paper forthcoming in the June issue of The Quarterly Review of Biology, Robert Shapiro (New York University) argues against the widely held theory that the origin of life began with the spontaneous appearance of a large, replicating molecule such as RNA.   view more (2006-05-17)

No oxygen in Eastern Mediterranean bottom-water
Research from Utrecht University shows that there is an organic-rich bed of sediment in the floor of the Eastern Mediterranean. This bed formed over a period of about 4000 years under oxygen-free bottom-water conditions.   view more (2008-09-29)

ELSEVIER SCIENCE ANNOUNCES A FOUR MILLION PAGE EXTENSION TO ITS ELECTRONIC ARCHIVE
Elsevier Science announced today that it was enlarging its electronic archive of science and medical journals, which currently extends back to 1995. It will provide its full text online customers with a permanent electronic archive back to (in most cases) volume 1, issue 1. Elsevier Science will... view more (2000-09-20)
