"IP3" - innovative products, intelligent particles, integrated processes - is a joint laboratory for process technology at Karlsruhe, which has been founded by KIT and BASF SE. The JointLab has been established for five years for the time being. Both partners are represented equally. Activities will focus on the development of nanostructured functional materials for use in organic electronics, as pigments, agrochemicals, medicine, or catalysts.
Chemists must be aware of the heat flow that accompanies their reactions; otherwise, disastrous consequences can occur during practices such as industrial scale-up of chemical production yields. Heat can be experimentall...
Five researchers from the National Nuclear Security Administration's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have joined the ranks of the more than 200 American Physical Society (APS) fellows for 2009.
Microscopic ridges contouring the surface of flower petals might play a role in flashing that come-hither look pollinating insects can't resist. Michigan State University scientists and colleagues now have figured out how those form.

Water contaminated with mercury is very dangerous for both people and the environment, as mercury is one of the most toxic heavy metals. Though laboratory analyses do deliver precise quantitative measurements, they require expensive equipment, take a long time, and cannot be carried out on-location.
