Chemists claim 1st almost all artificial DNA molecule

Japanese chemists say they have created the world's first DNA molecule made almost entirely of artificial parts, which could lead to improvements in gene therapy, nano-sized computers and other high-tech advances.

Chemists find better way to make amines

U.S. chemists say they are using a newly discovered catalyst to aid in the production of amines at low cost and with no waste products

RIVERSIDE, Calif., June 18 (UPI) -- U.S. chemists say they are using a newly discovered catalyst to aid in the production of amines at low cost and with no waste products

Chemists Get Scoop on Crude 'Oil` from Pig Manure

After a close examination of crude oil made from pig manure, chemists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are certain about a number of things. Most obviously, “This stuff smells worse than manure,” says NIST chemist Tom Bruno.

Coe vows to beat 'seedy chemists'

Sebastian Coe is confident the London Olympics in 2012 will not be overshadowed by drug cheats or "seedy chemists".

Synthetic Molecules Emulate Enzyme Behavior

FiReaNGeL writes "Ohio State University chemists have created a synthetic catalyst that can fold its molecular structure into a specific shape for a specific job, similar to natural catalysts. In tests, the chemists caused the catalysts to twist one way or the other, either to form one chemical product or its mirror image. They confirmed the shape of the molecules at each step using techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Being able to quickly produce a catalyst of a particular shape would be a boon for the pharmaceutical and chemical industries."

Chemists Create Cancer-Detecting Nanoparticles

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be a doctor's best friend for detecting a tumor in the body without resorting to surgery. MRI scans use pulses of magnetic waves and gauge the return signals to identify different types of tissue in the body, distinguishing bone from muscle, fluids from solids, and so on.

Chemists Get Scoop on Crude 'Oil' from Pig Manure

Researchers have developed the first detailed chemical analysis revealing what processing is needed to transform pig manure derived 'crude oil' into fuel for vehicles or heating. Mass production of this type of biofuel could help consume a waste product overflowing at U.S. farms, but it will require a lot of refining.

Chemists Investigate Lost Reds In Homer Painting

More than 30 years ago, when Northwestern University chemist Richard Van Duyne developed a powerful new sensing technique, he never thought he would be using it to learn more about treasures in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection -- including a watercolor recently featured in the museum's exhibition "Watercolors by Winslow Homer: The Color of Light."

Chemists Abuzz As Bug Repellents Show Promise

WASHINGTON - Researchers have identified seven possibilities for the next generation of mosquito repellent, some of which may work several times longer than the current standard-bearer, DEET. The next step: safety testing to make sure they're not harmful.

MRI scans use pulses of magnetic waves and gauge the return signals to identify different types of tissue in the body, distinguishing bone from muscle, fluids from solids, and so on.

ASDI Deploys ACD/1D NMR Assistant to Synthetic Chemists Based on Previous Success with Automated Structure Verification Software

ASDI, Inc., a leader in providing materials management services for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, recently implemented a suite of NMR software tools from ACD/Labs for use by their Synthetic Chemistry Team. The new software is expected to dramatically increase the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the group.

First DNA Molecule Made Almost Entirely Of Artificial Parts

Chemists in Japan report development of the world's first DNA molecule made almost entirely of artificial parts. The finding could lead to improvements in gene therapy, futuristic nano-sized computers, and other high-tech advances, they say.

Boffins toy with carbon nano-ribbons

Chemists at Stanford University have developed a new way to make transistors out of carbon nano-ribbons, which could be used to make cooler and faster computer chips.

Rice experts available to comment on study about nanotube safety

Chemists and nanosafety experts Vicki Colvin and Kristen Kulinowski of Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology are available to speak with reporters about newly published research that finds that certain multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) can induce responses in mice that are similar to those induced by asbestos fibers.

Synthetic Molecules Emulate Enzyme Behavior For The First Time

When chemists want to produce a lot of a substance -- such as a newly designed drug -- they often turn to catalysts, molecules that speed chemical reactions.
