Indoor air purifiers that produce even small amounts of ozone may be risky for health
In a small, poorly ventilated room, an indoor air purifier that produces even a few milligrams of ozone per hour can create an ozone level that exceeds public health standards. view more (2006-05-10)
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)
Chemically-conscious gardeners use bugs to beat back the weeds â€" Microbiology Today: May 2005 issue
Organic gardeners can control pesky weeds with the help of some common soil microbes, according to an article in the May 2005 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine of the Society for General Microbiology. view more (2005-04-26)
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 organised activities within their local areas to... view more... (1999-11-15)
Detecting anthrax proteins at ultralow concentrations
A new laboratory method for quickly detecting active anthrax proteins within an infected blood sample at extremely low levels has been developed. view more (2005-08-29)
ASU researcher may have discovered key to life before its origin on Earth
An important discovery has been made with respect to the mystery of "handedness" in biomolecules. Researchers led by Sandra Pizzarello, a research professor at Arizona State University, found that some of the possible abiotic precursors to the origin of life on Earth have been shown to carry "handedness" in a larger number than... view more...

Mount Cameroon: a natural laboratory for reconstructing soil history
The mechanisms behind rock-weathering processes can provide vital clues for understanding and reconstructing the history of ancient environments and visualizing the physical conditions in which they were formed, especially climatic situations. Thick ancient coverings of weathered material such as laterites are still the most intensively studied to... view more... (2004-10-21)
Standardized house dust aids health researchers
Chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a standardized form of common house dust to support environmental scientists studying our everyday exposure to a catalog of potentially hazardous chemicals. view more (2007-02-02)
Compost can turn agricultural soils into a carbon sink, thus protecting against climate change
Applying organic fertilizers, such as those resulting from composting, to agricultural land could increase the amount of carbon stored in these soils and contribute significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. view more (2008-02-25)
New research could lead to 'invisible' electronics
Imagine a car windshield that displays a map to your destination, military goggles with targets and instructions displayed right before a soldier's eyes or a billboard that doubles as a window. view more (2006-12-26)
FSU researchers' material may lead to advances in quantum computing
Scientists at Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and the university's Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry have introduced a new material that could be to computers of the future what silicon is to the computers of today. view more (2007-10-09)
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 little-remembered but remarkable polymath William Whewell... view more... (2003-03-06)
Has the mystery of the Antarctic ice sheet been solved?
A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales travelled to Africa to find new evidence of climate change which helps explain some of the mystery surrounding the appearance of the Antarctic ice sheet. view more (2008-02-28)
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 devices which can be far more efficient than... view more... (2006-03-30)
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)
Researchers study role of natural organic matter in environment
The decomposition of plant, animal and microbial material in soil and water produces a variety of complex organic molecules, collectively called natural organic matter. These compounds play many important roles in the environment. view more (2006-12-12)
Triptolide: A potential drug for polycystic kidney disease
A treatment for polycystic kidney disease (PKD), a leading cause of fatal kidney failure worldwide, has been identified by a research team led by Yale biochemist Craig Crews, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-03-06)
Scientists strike blow in superbugs struggle
Scientists from The University of Manchester have pioneered new ways of tweaking the molecular structure of antibiotics - an innovation that could be crucial in the fight against powerful super bugs. view more (2007-12-06)
