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)

Virginia Tech scientists develop process for creating biocompatible fibers
Scientists at Virginia Tech have developed a single-step process for creating nonwoven fibrous mats from a small organic molecule - creating a new nanoscale material with potential applications where biocompatible materials are required, such as scaffolds for tissue growth and drug delivery.   view more (2006-01-20)

How left-handed amino acids got ahead: a demonstration of the evolution of biological homochirality in the lab
A chemical reaction that demonstrates how key molecules in the biological world might have come to be predominately left or right handed has been reported by scientists at Imperial College London. Ever since discovering that the building blocks of the biological world, such as amino acids and... view more (2004-06-21)

Simple membranes could have allowed nutrients to pass into primitive cells
When the first cells developed, how could they bring molecules from the environment into their living interior without the specialized structures found on the modern cell membrane?   view more (2008-06-05)

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... view more (2003-01-20)

Selecting life: Scientists find new way to search for origin of life
Over the last half century, researchers have found that mineral surfaces may have played critical roles organizing, or activating, molecules that would become essential ingredients to all life-such as amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) and nucleic acids (the essence of DNA). But which of... view more (2006-11-10)

JHU chemists devise self-assembling 'organic wires'
From pacemakers constructed of materials that so closely mimic human tissues that a patient's body can't discern the difference to devices that bypass injured spinal cords to restore movement to paralyzed limbs, the possibilities presented by organic electronics read like something from a science... view more (2008-10-24)

Next good dinosaur news likely to come from small packages
Dinosaurs seem bigger than life - big bones, big mysteries. So it's a delicious irony that the next big answers about dinosaurs may come from small - very small - remains.    view more (2006-02-17)

Undersea microbes active but living on the slow side
Deeply buried ocean sediments may house populations of tiny organisms that have extremely low maintenance energy needs and population turnover rates of anywhere from 200 to 2,000 years.   view more (2006-02-21)

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... view more (2006-12-20)

Novel organic metal hybrids that will revolutionize materials science and chemical engineering
A novel class of hybrid materials made from metals and organic compounds is changing the face of solid state chemistry and materials science just 10 years after its discovery, with applications already in safe storage of highly inflammable gases such as hydrogen and methane.   view more (2008-02-19)

BSE Residues: anaerobic digestion saves 45 million euros a year
The treatment of BSE residues through anaerobic digestion is, according to Quercus, the most efficient and fruitful way of resolving this environmental question. This is a biological process successfully put into practice in a national company, ITS Marques, and consists of the degradation of... view more (2002-10-18)

New isotope molecule may add to Venus' greenhouse effect
Planetary scientists on both sides of the Atlantic have tracked down a rare molecule in the atmospheres of both Mars and Venus. The molecule, an exotic form of carbon dioxide, could affect the way the greenhouse mechanism works on Venus.   view more (2007-10-11)
