In all the world, there are about 200 types of zeolite, a compound of silicon, aluminum and oxygen that gives civilization such things as laundry detergent, kitty litter and gasoline. But thanks to computations by Rice University professor Michael Deem and his colleagues, it appears there are -- or could be -- more types of zeolites than once thought. http://www.physorg.com/news176391313.html Physics Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:50:02 EST news176391313 So you're a manufacturer about to introduce a new consumer product to the marketplace. Will that product or the manufacture of the product contribute to global warming through the greenhouse effect? http://www.physorg.com/news172328712.html Chemistry Wed, 16 Sep 2009 14:20:11 EST news172328712 (PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have long known that molecules dance about as the temperature rises, but now researchers know the exact steps that water takes with a certain molecule. Results with small, electrically charged cyanide ions and water molecules reveal that water zips around ions to a greater extent than expected. The findings improve our understanding of a chemical interaction important in atmospheric sciences. http://www.physorg.com/news171641348.html Chemistry Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:10:13 EST news171641348 Scientists have long known that molecules dance about as the temperature rises, but now researchers know the exact steps that water takes with a certain molecule.

Their study is scheduled for the June 11 edition of ACS` The Journal of Physical Chemistry C. http://www.physorg.com/news162060868.html Nanotechnology Wed, 20 May 2009 17:55:05 EST news162060868 They may never pose a challenge to Olympic superstar Michael Phelps, but the "microswimmers" developed by researchers in Spain and the United Kingdom could break a long-standing barrier to improving delivery of medications for cancer and other diseases. They describe the development of tiny, magnetically controlled particles, called "microswimmers," that doctors could use to precisely deliver medicine to diseased tissue. Their report appears in the December 25, 2008 issue of The Journal of Physical Chemistry B. http://www.physorg.com/news151001927.html Chemistry Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:58:47 EST news151001927
