Rutgers team's coal-to-diesel breakthrough could drastically cut oil imports
Professor Alan Goldman and his Rutgers team in collaboration with researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have developed a way to convert carbon sources, such as coal to diesel fuel.   view more (2006-04-14)

new structural view of organic electronic devices
Although still in the qualifying rounds, U.S. researchers are helping manufacturers win the race to develop low-cost ways to commercialize a multitude of products based on inexpensive organic electronic materials-from large solar-power arrays to electronic newspapers that can be bent and folded.   view more (2005-09-13)

New protein target may advance design of HIV and cancer drugs
Using small molecules containing platinum, Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center researchers have created a process to inhibit a class of proteins important in HIV and cancer.   view more (2006-05-31)

Geoscientists follow arsenic from chicken feed to streambeds
Organic arsenic is fed to poultry to prevent bacterial infections and improve weight gain. A little bit of arsenic is taken up by the tissue and the majority of it is excreted in urine.   view more (2005-10-12)

Scientists in first global study of 'poison' gas in the atmosphere
It was used as a chemical weapon in the trenches in the First World War, but nearly a century later, new research by an international team of scientists has discovered that phosgene is present in significant quantities in the atmosphere.   view more (2007-09-20)

Relic of life in that Martian meteorite? A fresh look
Since the mid-1990s a great debate has raged over whether organic compounds and tiny globules of carbonate minerals imbedded in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001 were processed by living creatures from the Red Planet.   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)

Nanoscale study gives new insight into heat transfer in biological systems
One of the first things we learn in chemistry class is that solids conduct heat better than liquids. But a new study suggests that in nanoscale materials, this is not necessarily the case.   view more (2005-10-21)

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)

New reagent delivers a chemical breakthrough at FSU
"Build a better mousetrap," the saying goes, "and the world will beat a path to your door." In the complex field of organic chemistry, that path leads to Florida State University, where a newly developed substance could make the jobs of scientists throughout the world a little easier as they work to develop new drugs and other... view more...

'Custom' nanoparticles could improve cancer diagnosis and treatment
Researchers have developed "custom" nanoparticles that show promise of providing a more targeted and effective delivery of anticancer drugs than conventional medications or any of the earlier attempts to fight cancer with nanoparticles.   view more (2006-03-27)

Identifying the 'signatures' of protons in water
Free protons from acids associate with 1, 2 or 3 molecules of water and the structures can be identified by unique infrared laser spectrum signatures, according to a report in Science by Yale professor of chemistry Mark A. Johnson and his collaborators at Yale, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Georgia.   view more (2005-07-14)

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)

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)

Royal Society of Chemistry Inaugurates New President
Professor Sir Harry Kroto, winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, 1996 for the discovery of Buckminster Fullerene, was today inaugurated as the new President of the Royal Society of Chemistry. Professor Kroto was born in 1939 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, and brought up in Bolton, Lancashire. He graduated in Chemistry at the University of... view more... (2002-07-18)
