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... view more (1999-11-16)

Gene That Controls Ozone Resistance of Plants Could Lead to Drought-Resistant Crops
Biologists at the University of California, San Diego, working with collaborators at the University of Helsinki in Finland and two other European institutions, have elucidated the mechanism of a plant gene that controls the amount of atmospheric ozone entering a plant's leaves.   view more (2008-02-28)

Computer-designed molecule to clean up fluorocarbons?
The chemical bond between carbon and fluorine is one of the strongest in nature, and has been both a blessing and a curse in the complex history of fluorocarbons. Now, in a powerful demonstration of the relatively new field of "computational chemistry".   view more (2007-03-05)

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... view more (2003-04-14)

Food-crop yields in future greenhouse-gas conditions lower than expected
Open-air field trials involving five major food crops grown under carbon-dioxide levels projected for the future are harvesting dramatically less bounty than those raised in earlier greenhouse and other enclosed test conditions — and scientists warn that global food supplies could be at risk... view more (2006-06-30)

'Invisible' bacteria dupe the human immune system
Scientists at the University of York have characterised an important new step in the mechanism used by bacteria to evade our immune system.   view more (2008-02-20)

New journal 'SOFT MATTER' to be launched by the Royal Society of Chemistry
The largest organisation in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), announced yesterday at the Jülich Soft Matter Days 2004 conference that it will launch a new publication, Soft Matter, in Summer 2005.   view more (2004-11-17)

Ethanol vehicles pose a significant risk to human health, study finds
Ethanol is widely touted as an eco-friendly, clean-burning fuel. But if every vehicle in the United States ran on fuel made primarily from ethanol instead of pure gasoline, the number of respiratory-related deaths and hospitalizations would likely increase.   view more (2007-04-18)

Solution to elusive problem
Scientists at the University of Leicester are on the way to solving a problem that has long beset chemists trying to study chemical reactions. To establish reaction mechanisms the observation of reaction intermediates is vital, but they are incredibly short-lived under normal conditions, and... view more (2003-01-21)

Europeans join forces for Catalysis and Sustainable Chemistry
The European Commission has granted the ACENET ERA-NET network 2.7 million euros to allow nine European countries to join forces for scientific research in the field of applied catalysis and sustainable chemistry.   view more (2004-11-17)

National Chemistry Week: 19-26 November 1999
Events planned for the week include a series of lectures for schools at the Royal Institution and the Science Museum, London, exhibitions and events at hands-on science centres in Cardiff, Runcorn and Aberdeen and a course on The Chemistry of Art at the National Gallery. The Society's members have... view more (1999-11-15)

Rich nations' environmental footprints tread heavily on poor countries
The environmental damage caused by rich nations disproportionately impacts poor nations and costs them more than their combined foreign debt, according to a first-ever global accounting of the dollar costs of countries' ecological footprints.   view more (2008-01-22)

'Reverse' tanning process could revolutionize leather industry
'Reverse' leather tanning, which essentially works backward from the point where conventional tanning ends, saves time, money and energy while drastically slashing water use and pollution, say researchers at the Central Leather Research Institute in Adyar, India.   view more (2006-01-23)

New policies needed to combat Global Change, says Commissioner Wallström
Never before have policy makers faced a more challenging task than responding to global change, said EU Environment Commissioner Margot Wallström, in an article in the International Herald Tribune today (http://www.iht.com/articles/125563.html) and in a statement made for the launch of a new... view more (2004-01-20)

Tibet Provides Passage for Chemicals to Reach the Stratosphere
NASA and university researchers have found that thunderstorms over Tibet provide a main pathway for water vapor and chemicals to travel from the lower atmosphere, where human activity directly affects atmospheric composition, into the stratosphere, where the protective ozone layer resides.   view more (2006-05-10)

Atmospheric chemistry - air quality and climate
Air quality has improved dramatically over the past 50 years. Professor Mike Pilling, Head of Physical Chemistry at the University of Leeds, will reveal the latest about air quality research at the Festival of Science today.   view more (2004-09-06)

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)

The ink is mightier than the pen - against forgery
Inks which cannot be photocopied - to confound bank-note forgers - are exciting printers of most of the world`s major currencies. A team from colour chemistry, led by Professor David Lewis and Dr Long Lin, has created an ink which changes colour when copied or scanned, to prevent forgers colour... view more (2002-06-07)

Spray to Stop Scarring in Development
A spray that halves the healing time of burns and wounds is being designed for immediate use. Marina Murphy explains how the spray could be the difference between having a disfiguring scar or not in Chemistry & Industry magazine.   view more (2004-10-28)

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)

Record air pollution above the Arctic
Last week Scientists of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research observed the highest air pollution on record since measurements began in Ny-Ã-lesund on Svalbard. Monitoring instruments displayed significantly increased aerosol concentrations compared to those generally found.   view more (2006-05-11)

At start of UK Science Week chemists honour man who created the word 'scientist'
To commemorate the life of the little-known academic who invented the word 'scientist' the Royal Society of Chemistry today laid - on the anniversary of his accidental death -a red rose wreath at his memorial in Trinity College Chapel at Cambridge University. It was on 6 March 1866 that the... view more (2003-03-06)

College science success linked to math and same-subject preparation
