First step to using CO2 as a chemical feedstock – theoretical studies reveal mechanism of CO2 activation by uranium complex
C=O Activation in CO2
Ultrasensitive Detection
Electrochemical immunoassay evaluated spiked food samples, including fruit juices, milk, and pork, with excellent detection levels
Silver-Free Protocol
New route to gold-based catalyst removes need for moisture and light sensitive silver salts
Memory Enzyme
Short -term inhibition of enzyme could lead to a treatment for cognitive decline associated with old age
Well Technology Licensed
Exxon Mobil licenses multi-zone stimulation technology well treatment process to Canyon Technical Services, Calgary, Canada
Time–Temperature Indicators
Nanoplates with time-temperature dependant UV/Vis spectra could have future in monitoring transportation and storage of food
Atmospheric Dioxane Degradation
Mechanism of the radical-initiated oxidation of 1,3-dioxane helps explain the role of ethers in the atmosphere
One-Phase for Biodiesel
Using ionic liquids for biodiesel production overcomes miscibility problem and allows recycling over several cycles
Startled by Addiction Research
Clue to drug addiction emerges from studies of episodic withdrawal from morphine and its effects on psychomotor sensitization
From Super to Hyper
Use of superhalogens as building blocks gives a new class of highly electronegative species: hyperhalogens
