Chemistry & Industry - 3 June Issue
NEWS Hydrogen is the fuel of the future says Johnson Matthey's CEO (page 4) Christopher Clark, chief executive of Johnson Matthey, warned that the world needs to change from carbon to hydrogen as its major energy source in the next decades, as the effects of global warming become more apparent. Regenerating human fingers (page 6) Japanese... view more... (2002-05-30)
Keeping an eye on fatigue in wind turbines
Wind farms are springing up everywhere like mushrooms. Business in this alternative sector of the energy industry is booming, thanks in part to federal and former state subsidies. The total output of the wind turbines installed in Germany today is theoretically enough to supply the whole capital of Berlin with electricity. But the durability of... view more... (2003-09-18)
CO2 storage in coal can be predicted better
CO2 storage in the ground is being considered increasingly more often in order to realise the climate and energy objectives. Dutch researcher Saikat Mazumder made it possible to better predict routes of the 'underground highways' along which gasses like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) will move. view more (2007-04-16)

Caffeine experts at Johns Hopkins call for warning labels for energy drinks
Johns Hopkins scientists who have spent decades researching the effects of caffeine report that a slew of caffeinated energy drinks now on the market should carry prominent labels that note caffeine doses and warn of potential health risks for consumers. view more (2008-09-24)
Microwaves could take the grind out of the rock business
The feasibility of using microwaves to extract minerals from rocks has been demonstrated by UK researchers. This revolutionary technique could cut mining and mineral processing industry costs, and make it viable to process previously uneconomic mineral reserves. It could also help the environment by saving energy as 3 - 5% of the world's entire... view more... (2003-05-16)
Endangered polar heritage
There are 76 sites on the official list of historic sites and monuments in Antarctica. 11 of them are, or used to be, Norwegian. Cultural heritage is a non-renewable resource endangered by environmental pollutants and increased tourism. -We need a lot more research on Norwegian historic sites in Antarctica, says Susan Barr, special adviser at the... view more...

Oxygen triggered the evolution of complex life forms
Oxygen played a key role in the evolution of complex organisms, according to new research published in BMC Evolutionary Biology. The study shows that the complexity of life forms increased earlier than was thought, and in parallel with the availability of oxygen as an energy source. In the largest study to date that does not focus on vertebrates,... view more... (2004-01-22)
Cannibalistic Stars hold clue to Big Bang
A team of UK astronomers announced this month the discovery of cannibalistic stars that explain one of the mysteries surrounding the Big Bang. The stars are almost as old as the Universe and they reveal what space was like in the very beginning. The team from the Open University found that a group of 14-billion-year-old stars were all in a spin... view more... (2002-05-10)
