Treatment Of Residues With Wine Making
Amongst the activities involved in the making of wine is that of a number of effluents with a high organic level being produced and which generally do not respond particularly well to purification with conventional biological treatment. This type of residue, although not having toxic components, can prove environmentally problematic at times... view more... (2003-09-24)
Hard shell, glowing core
Tiny semiconductor crystals can be prompted to give off light - brighter than conventional dyes and in wavelength ranges that these only produce under certain conditions. Israeli chemist Uri Banin and his coworker Yun-Wie Cao demonstrated this with several core/shell nanocrystals made of the semiconductor indium arsenide. It has been known for... view more...

Meteorites a rich source for primordial soup
The organic soup that spawned life on Earth may have gotten generous helpings from outer space, according to a new study. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution have discovered concentrations of amino acids in two meteorites that are more than ten times higher than levels previously measured in other similar meteorites. view more (2008-03-14)
Fuel cells might get hydrogen from water, organic material
A novel technique for producing hydrogen from water and organic material has been found recently at Purdue University, a discovery that could help speed the creation of viable hydrogen storage technology. view more (2005-08-31)
New technology will allow for flexible television and computer screens
Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) are the technology used in making light emitting fabrics used in cell phones and televisions. view more (2006-05-12)
UCLA, University of Michigan Chemists Report Progress in Quest to Use Hydrogen as Fuel for Cars and Electronic Devices
Chemists at UCLA and the University of Michigan report an advance toward the goal of cars that run on hydrogen rather than gasoline. view more (2006-03-08)
New laboratory to study the oceans and air
Almost two-thirds of the planet is ocean and this has a major impact on our lives. Now the University of East Anglia (UEA) will be home to the world's first facility dedicated to the study of chemical ocean-air interactions which are important in regulating Earth's climate. Examples include ocean uptake of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide... view more... (2003-11-21)
Calculations favor reducing atmopshere for early Earth
Using primitive meteorites called chondrites as their models, earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have performed outgassing calculations and shown that the early Earth's atmosphere was a reducing one, chock full of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapor. view more (2005-09-08)
U.N. Climate Change Conference considers ancient soil replenishment technique in battle against global warming
Former inhabitants of the Amazon Basin enriched their fields with charred organic materials-biochar-and transformed one of the earth's most infertile soils into one of the most productive. view more (2008-12-18)
Tiny computers go where no computer has gone before
A major breakthrough in the use of molecules as information processors is to be announced at this year's BA Festival of Science in Dublin. view more (2005-09-08)
Woods Hole Research Center scientist furthering discussion of soil carbon decomposition
Significantly more carbon is stored in the world's soils than is present in the atmosphere. In a process called a "positive feedback," global warming may stimulate decomposition of soil organic matter, thus releasing heat-trapping carbon dioxide gas to the atmosphere, possibly causing the rate of global warming to increase further. view more (2006-03-09)
NIST team proves bridge from conventional to molecular electronics possible
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have set the stage for building the "evolutionary link" between the microelectronics of today built from semiconductor compounds and future generations of devices made largely from complex organic molecules. view more (2008-03-19)
'It might be life, Jim...', physicists discover inorganic dust with lifelike qualities
Could extraterrestrial life be made of corkscrew-shaped particles of interstellar dust? Intriguing new evidence of life-like structures that form from inorganic substances in space are revealed today in the New Journal of Physics. view more (2007-08-15)
Community-supported agriculture serves as counterexample to market demands of globalization
A compelling new paper from the August issue of the Journal of Consumer Research explores the community-supported agriculture movement and its survival in the face of economic globalization. view more (2007-08-08)
Work of Nobel-prize winning scientist Dorothy Hodgkin to be Celebrated with a Landmark Event at Oxford University
The work of the Nobel-prize winning crystallographer, Dorothy Hodgkin (1910-1994), which led to the synthesis of penicillin, vitamin B12 and insulin will be honoured by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) at the University of Oxford on Monday 14 May 2001 through the designation of a National Historical Chemical Landmark. Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin... view more... (2001-05-10)
New Noble Gas Chemical Compounds Created As Result Of Hebrew University Research
Chemical compounds consisting of noble gases combined with hydrocarbon molecules - a feat previously thought to be unattainable - have been created as the result of the work of researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. view more (2005-03-23)
University of Alberta and NINT researchers make solar energy breakthrough
The University of Alberta and the National Research Council's National Institute (NINT) for Nanotechnology have engineered an approach that is leading to improved performance of plastic solar cells (hybrid organic solar cells). view more (2009-02-26)
Carnegie scientists fine-tuning methods for Stardust analysis
On Sunday, January 15, NASA's Stardust mission landed safely with the first solid comet fragments ever brought back to Earth. Members of the mission's Preliminary Examination Team, including several from the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory and Department of Terrestrial Magnetism, are among the first to analyze these precious samples. view more (2006-03-23)
Unlocking the frozen secrets of comet Wild 2
Eleven months ago, NASA's Stardust mission touched down in the Utah desert with the first solid comet samples ever retrieved from space. Since then, nearly 200 scientists from around the globe have studied the minuscule grains, looking for clues to the physical and chemical history of our solar system. view more (2006-12-20)
Organic milk is cream of the crop
A new study by Newcastle University proves that organic farmers who let their cows graze as nature intended are producing better quality milk. view more (2008-05-28)
