15-01-2013: The Royal Society of Chemistry announced that Croatian Nikola Bregović has won its worldwide competition to find the best explanation of the famed Mpemba Effect, by which hot water freezes faster than cold water.
In London for the announcement was Erasto Mpemba, the Tanzanian who discovered the effect 50 years ago this year when a schoolboy.
His discovery was scorned at first but he pressed his case with Denis Osborne, a British physics lecturer in Tanzania, and they went on to co-write a paper on the effect published in 1969.
The phenomenon has been known since Aristotle failed to explain it and all persons trying to sort it out since have been defeated.
Nikola, who will get a £1,000 prize, works at the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry of the University of Zagreb.

Understanding defects in graphene
The products of making graphene by thermally exfoliating graphite oxide are much more complex than previously thought, new research shows. The most common way to prepare graphene is by thermally reducing – or ‘exfoliating’ - graphite oxide. But the graphene produced in the process often con ... more
Dark-field microscopy coupled with capillary electrophoresis to see gold nanoparticles
Chinese scientists have combined interfacing dark field microscopy (DFM) with capillary electrophoresis (CE) and used it to “see” single gold nanoparticle (AuNPs) movement visually and in real time. The study also served to confirm the separation rules and fundamental theories of CE. more
Detecting harmful dye used to make ketchup red
It may soon be easier to protect consumers from dangerous condiments thanks to an electrochemical method developed by Chinese scientists that can spot the toxic azo dye, Orange II. They were able to spot the dye at nanomolar concentrations in ketchup and chilli products using the sensor. O ... more
