High-pressure chemistry in ultra small pressure cooker
04-13-2007 · EurekAlert!Small, clever process technology is essential for the future, but is it possible? Dutch-sponsored researcher Fernando Benito López investigated the possibilities of the so-called lab-on-a-chip: microreactor chips in which chemical reactions can take place under (high) pressure. The results were very promising. The reaction rate increased compared to conventional equipment, the measurements were accurate and safety was not a problem. Moreover it was possible to follow and regulate the reaction during the process.

- Lithium and beryllium no longer 'lack chemistry'
01-25-2008 · EurekAlert!
Even though the lightest known metals in the universe, lithium and beryllium, do not bind to one another under normal atmospheric or ambient pressure, an interdisciplinary team of Cornell scientists predicts in the Jan. 24 issue of Nature that lithium and beryllium will bond under higher levels of pressure and form stable lithium-beryllium alloys that may be capable of superconductivity. Superconductivity is the flow of electricity with zero resistance.

- UD scientists discover new class of polymers
01-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
For years, polymer chemistry textbooks have stated that a whole class of little molecules called 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes could not be transformed into polymers -- the stuff of which plastics and other materials are made.However, UD scientists Chris Snively and Jochen Lauterbach were determined to prove the textbooks wrong. As a result of their persistence, the researchers have discovered a new class of ultra-thin polymer films with potential applications ranging from coating tiny microelectronic devices to plastic solar cells.

- Seismologists see Earth's interior as interplay between temperature, pressure and chemistry
10-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Seismologists in recent years have recast their understanding of the inner workings of Earth from a relatively benign homogeneous environment to one that is highly dynamic and chemically diverse. This new view of Earth's inner workings depicts the planet as a living organism where events that happen deep inside can affect what happens at its surface, like the rub and slip of tectonic plates and the rumble of the occasional volcano.

- Non-GMO solution to seafood allergies
02-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
Seafood allergy sufferers may soon be able to eat prawns without the fear of an adverse reaction. Chinese scientists have taken a promising step towards removing from prawns the proteins that cause an allergic response without resorting to genetic manipulation, reports Lisa Richards in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI.

- Research on microfluidics widens the possibilities for electronic devices
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
"Electrowetting" controls the contact angle of a liquid on a hydrophobic surface through the use of an electric field. Andrew Steckl's research on liquid-state-field-effect transistors promises improvements in such things as "lab on a chip" devices. These tiny devices, reminiscent of the "Fantastic Voyage," can be introduced into the blood stream to monitor the blood’s chemistry. Steckl calls it "liquid logic" -- using liquids to make electronic devices instead of solids.

- Gold nanoparticles help detect a toxic metal -- mercury
04-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
With gold nanoparticles, DNA and smart chemistry as their tools, scientists at Northwestern University have developed a simple "litmus test" for mercury that eventually could be used for on-the-spot environmental monitoring of bodies of water, such as rivers, streams, lakes and oceans, to evaluate their safety as food and drinking water sources. An article detailing the technology's success will be published online April 27 by Angewandte Chemie, the prestigious European journal of applied chemistry.
