Making good taste measurable
(02 Sep 2010)
Does milk chocolate still contain milk? Or does cheaper vegetable fat already dominate here? Has the barrique wine really seen the inside of a barrique barrel or has it been spiked with flavoured woodchips? Both the products of global food ......

Listen up! U-M experiment records ultrafast chemical reaction with vibrational echoes
(02 Sep 2010)
To watch a magician transform a vase of flowers into a rabbit, it's best to have a front-row seat. Likewise, for chemical transformations in solution, the best view belongs to the molecular spectators closest to the action. Those special ......

Purdue-Stanford team finds radioactive decay rates vary with the sun's rotation
(01 Sep 2010)
Radioactive decay rates, thought to be unique physical constants and counted on in such fields as medicine and anthropology, may be more variable than once thought. A team of scientists from Purdue and Stanford universities has found that the ......

New study shows that oilsands mining and processing are polluting the Athabasca River
(01 Sep 2010)
Inorganic elements known to be toxic at low concentrations are being discharged to air and water by oilsands mining and processing according to University of Alberta (U of A) research findings. The 13 elements being discharged include mercury, ......

Stretched polymer snaps back smaller than it started
(30 Aug 2010)
Crazy bands are cool because no matter how long they've been stretched around a kid's wrist, they always return to their original shape, be it a lion or a kangaroo. Now a Duke and Stanford chemistry team has found a polymer molecule that's so ......

Study shows deepwater oil plume in Gulf degraded by microbes
(26 Aug 2010)
In the aftermath of the explosion of BP's Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, a dispersed oil plume was formed at a depth between 3,600 and 4,000 feet and extending some 10 miles out from the wellhead. An intensive study by ......

Mapping the structure of protonated water clusters
Water molecules are continuously forming short-lived networks called clusters. These can in turn bind positively charged protons, and such clusters can provide active functional groups in proteins. Using infrared spectroscopy, it is possible to ......
