 | Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology have developed an entirely new method for starting chemical reactions. For the first time they used mechanical forces to control catalytic activity -- one of the most fundamental concepts in chemistry. This allowed them to initiate chemical reactions with mechanical force. This discovery paves the way to developing materials capable of repairing themselves under the influence of mechanical tension. These results will be published online on April 6, 2009, in Nature Chemistry. ...> Full Article |
 | A revolutionary container-less chemical reactor, pioneered by the space research team at Guigné International Ltd. in Canada with scientists at the University of Bath, has been installed on the International Space Station. The reactor, named Space-DRUMS, uses beams of sound to position chemicals in mid-air so they don't come into contact with the walls of the container. ...> Full Article |
A new research center combining the tools of chemistry and astronomy will use the unique laboratory of interstellar space to free the study of basic chemistry from the restrictive bonds of Earth.
