Purdue Creates Simpler Alternative for Chemical-Analysis Method
Purdue University researchers have developed a relatively simple alternative to sophisticated techniques now used to ionize materials, a critical step needed for chemical analyses involving instruments called mass spectrometers. Unlike current techniques, the method works at ordinary atmospheric pressure instead of inside a mass spectrometer's vacuum chamber, and it does not require exotic technologies such as electron beams and lasers. more>>>

U. Michigan-led Team Gets Grant to Develop Materials To Bend Lightwaves Backwards
A University of Michigan research team will receive a combined total of $5 million over the next five years to support an interdisciplinary research project on negative refraction—or bending lightwaves downward. The group of physicists, electrical engineers, materials scientists, chemists and biologists from five universities will explore methods to produce new synthetic materials that can refract, or bend, light waves “backwards.”  more>>>

Darwin
The latest evolution in commercial-off-the-shelf Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) for pharmaceutical development and quality control, is now commercially available from Thermo Electron Corporation. Darwin LIMS is groundbreaking because the software provides users with a significantly higher level of pharmaceutical functionality out of the box. Darwin LIMS also shortens the implementation time, lessens validation cost, minimizes challenges of upgrading and lowers the total cost of ownership for customers. Learn more>>>

Experiments Examine Hydrogen-Production Benefits of Clean Coal Burning
Sandia National Laboratories researchers here are studying the burning characteristics of coal to prepare the way for the coming of a hydrogen economy.

That’s because while there are many long-term options for providing hydrogen as a fuel of the future, coal is the leading contender to provide a hydrogen source in the near term. more>>>

Subsurface Bacteria Release Phosphate to Convert Uranium Contamination to Immobile Form
In research that could help control contamination from the radioactive element uranium, scientists have discovered that some bacteria found in the soil and subsurface can release phosphate that converts uranium contamination into an insoluble and immobile form.

Based on laboratory studies, Georgia Institute of Technology researchers report promising results using bacterial species from three genera isolated from subsurface soils collected at a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Field Research Center site in Oak Ridge, Tenn. more>>>
