California vineyard uses high-tech chemistry to choose optimum picking time for grapes
A Modesto winemaker is using the latest 21st century analytical chemistry technology to supplement the time-honored practice of tasting a mouthful of grapes to determine when the fruit is ready for picking. view more (2006-09-11)
CU-Boulder study suggests air quality regulations miss key pollutants
A new study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder reveals that air quality regulations may not effectively target a large source of fine, organic particle pollutants that contribute to hazy skies and poor air quality over the Los Angeles region. view more (2008-09-25)

Surprisingly, Chemists Find, Some Solvents Can Alter Chemical Bonds
New University at Buffalo research demonstrates that some solvents can significantly enhance certain acid-base interactions and strengthen the bonding interaction between two molecules when one is electron-deficient and one is electron-rich. view more (2007-07-25)
Complex carbon picture clearer
Study shows that more plant litter resulting from higher CO2 could boost the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere. view more (2007-12-12)
Penicillin to receive 'International Landmark' status
Penicillin was discovered almost by accident. Alexander Fleming, on returning from holiday to his laboratories at St. Mary's Hospital, found that the fungal mould Penicillium notatum had infected some lab dishes on which he was growing bacteria for other experiments. He noticed that the bacteria could not survive near the mould, and went on to... view more... (1999-11-16)
Scientists find way to clean up the drugs market
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made a breakthrough by using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a reaction medium for the preparation of molecules of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. view more (2004-09-13)
Bottoms up: Better organic semiconductors for printable electronics
Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Seoul National University (SNU) have learned how to tweak a new class of polymer-based semiconductors to better control the location and alignment of the components of the blend. view more (2008-09-05)
Scrubbing sulfur
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a reusable organic liquid that can pull harmful gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide out of industrial emissions from power plants. view more (2009-08-18)
New understanding of how big molecules bind will lead to better drugs, synthetic organic materials
Biological and medical research is on the threshold of a new era based on better understanding of how large organic molecules bind together and recognise each other. view more (2008-02-22)
Platinum nanocatalyst could aid drugmakers
Nanoparticles combining platinum and gold act as superefficient catalysts, but chemists have struggled to create them in an industrially useful form. view more (2009-09-01)
Earthworm activity can alter forests' carbon-carrying capabilities
Earthworms can change the chemical nature of the carbon in North American forest litter and soils, potentially affecting the amount of carbon stored in forests, according to Purdue University researchers. view more (2008-10-28)
Center for organic and polymer electronics placed in Linköping
Linköping University in Sweden is to host a new national center for research on organic and polymer electronics (=plastic conducting materials). The Foundation for Strategic Research (SFF) is giving SEK 31 million over five years to a Center for Organic Electronics, COE. The allocation can be seen as testimony to the quality of the... view more... (2003-01-20)
Revealing the long-awaited atomic structure of a well-known enzyme
A Boston University-led research team has identified the structural underpinnings of a widely-known enzyme -- acetoacetate decarboxylase (AADase) -- that was first described correctly more than 43 years ago including how it accelerates its target reaction. view more (2009-05-21)
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)
Peptides-on-demand: McGill researcher's radical new green chemistry makes the impossible possible
McGill University chemistry professor Chao-Jun (C.J.) Li is known as one of the world leading pioneers in green chemistry, an entirely new approach to the science which eschews the use of toxic, petrochemical-based solvents in favour of basic substances like water and new ways of making molecules. view more (2009-02-25)
Indoor plants found to release volatile organic compounds
Potted plants add a certain aesthetic value to homes and offices, bringing a touch of nature to indoor spaces. view more (2009-09-04)
ESA to search for life, but not as we know it
This week, astrobiologists are discussing what ESA`s Huygens spaceprobe might discover when it parachutes to the surface of Saturn`s mysterious moon, Titan, in 2005. Titan possesses a rich atmosphere of organic molecules, which Huygens will analyse. Recently some scientists have begun to think that, by redefining life, in broader terms, what we... view more...

Royal Society of Chemistry Retrodigitisation Project
For many reasons (including library space, degeneration of paper issues and the wider availability of data), there is an increasing demand for electronic access (including searching capability) to all chemical research archived by the Royal Society of Chemistry and for this content to be linked to other electronic content. To meet this demand, the... view more... (2003-04-14)
Weizmann Institute Scientists Develop a Unique Approach for Splitting Water into Hydrogen and Oxygen
The design of efficient systems for splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen, driven by sunlight is among the most important challenges facing science today, underpinning the long term potential of hydrogen as a clean, sustainable fuel. view more (2009-04-07)
