- Alchemical Anomalies by Sciencebase Science Blog on Nov 5, 2009
In the current issue of The Alchemist we learn how to stick methane molecules to metals without breaking carbon-hydrogen bonds and how to make impossible carbene catalysts without the usual prerequisite of an attendant metal centre. Another seeming i...
- Alchemist Checks Oxy Cholesterol Levels by Sciencebase Science Blog on Sep 1, 2009
The Alchemist this week learns how fluorine chemistry is blooming, how to melt proteins, and how cholesterol is all about the good, the bad, and the oxy. Also this week, a technique borrowed from organic LED fabrication could lead to a new way to man...
- Hot, Tardy Alchemist by Sciencebase Science Blog on Aug 13, 2009
Bit late with the update for The Alchemist this week, had so much else to talk about before a slot was available, there was also the matter of our family vacation, hope readers find the info current enough to be of interest. The Alchemist recently le...
- Short, Sharp Alchemist by Sciencebase Science Blog on Jun 15, 2009
Natural quasicrystals, graphene interconnects, and photo-powered nanomotors all come into view through The Alchemist’s eyeglass this week. Also in view, is the finding that hydrogen peroxide is more than a bleach, it’s a marshal for white...
- Spotlight on the Alchemist by Sciencebase Science Blog on Apr 17, 2009
My April Spotlight on physical sciences news is now available as is this week’s Chemweb Alchemist. Under the Spotlight: Pores for thought - A solid, but sponge-like material has been synthesised by chemists in Singapore. The silica-type materia...
- Copper Tone Alchemist by Sciencebase Science Blog on Mar 27, 2009
Spring has sprung for the Alchemist, who, under the northern sun, takes on a marginal copper tone this week. First up, a new copper catalyst that can take a sideways swipe at organic aromatic compounds and make them go all meta. We also have copper n...
- Alchemist Turns Polyphile by Sciencebase Science Blog on Feb 27, 2009
A quite gratifying email from Professor James E. Hanson of Seton Hall University made me realise that I’d gone all poly with The Alchemist column this week: As a polymer chemist myself, I really liked this issue of The Alchemist - or rather in..
