| Energy-saving powder may allow exploitation of unused reserves of natural gas - Sun, 22 Nov 2009 11:00:00 EST Chemists are using a simple method to convert methane to methanol -- something that has the potential to exploit previously unused reserves of natural gas. Polymer with honeycomb structure: Scientists synthesize graphene-like material - Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST Two-dimensional carbon layers, so-called graphenes, are regarded as a possible substitute for silicon in the semiconductor industry. The electronic properties of these layers can be varied by "building in" specific arrays of holes in their structure. Physicists and chemists have, for the first time, succeeded in synthesizing a graphene-like porous polymer with atomic accuracy. Accidental discovery produces durable new blue pigment for multiple applications - Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:00:00 EST An accidental discovery has apparently solved a quest that over thousands of years has absorbed the energies of ancient Egyptians, the Han dynasty in China, Mayan cultures and more -- the creation of a near-perfect blue pigment. Engineering functional structures with single atoms and molecules - Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:00:00 EST The performance of modern electronics increases steadily on a fast pace thanks to the ongoing miniaturization of the utilized components. However, severe problems arise due to quantum-mechanical phenomena when conventional structures are simply made smaller and reach the nanometer scale. Therefore current research focuses on the so-called bottom-up approach: the engineering of functional structures with the smallest possible building blocks -- single atoms and molecules. Freezing: A phenomenon that 'jumps' - Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:00:00 EST The freezing of suspensions of particles is not always a uniform phenomenon; in certain conditions it leads to a modification of the redistribution of particles and the growth of crystals. These results have been obtained by observing, through X-ray imaging, the movement of particles while they are being frozen.

On the Discovery Trail - Sun, 11 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0400 “In this business, if you don’t innovate, someone else will,” says John C. Martin, the C.E.O. of Gilead Sciences.3 Win Nobel for Ribosome Research - Thu, 08 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0400  The chemistry prize was awarded for research into how information on strands of DNA is translated into proteins.New Ways to Moisturize for Less - Thu, 01 Oct 2009 00:00:00 -0400  Vaseline and Dove have introduced ingredients in new moisturizing products that some independent cosmetic chemists say may give more expensive brands a run for their money.Sinochem Makes $2.5 Billion Bid for Australian Chemicals Group - Tue, 29 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400 The Chinese state-owned chemical firm's move to buy Nufarm could again test investment ties between China and Australia. Watching Life in Real Time - Tue, 22 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400  Martin Chalfie may have slept through the notification that he had won a Nobel Prize, but his career has been one of alert discovery.
