(1) MIT: New insights on fusion power

David Chandler, MIT News Office
December 3, 2008

Research carried out at MIT's Alcator C-Mod fusion reactor may have brought the promise of fusion as a future power source a bit closer to reality, though scientists caution that a practical fusion powerplant is still decades away.

(2)Disappearing superconductivity reappears -- in 2-D

Scientists studying a material that appeared to lose its ability to carry current with no resistance say new measurements reveal that the material is indeed a superconductor -- but only in two dimensions. Equally surprising, this new form of 2-D superconductivity emerges at a higher temperature than ordinary 3-D superconductivity in other compositions of the same material.

"GEMs is an interactive collection of chemistry education materials focused on green chemistry. Search GEMs database.

Green Chemistry is the redesign of chemical transformations and processes to reduce or eliminate the use of materials that are hazardous to human health and the environment. Learn more about green chemistry.

The database is designed as a comprehensive resource of education materials including laboratory exercises, lecture materials, course syllabi and multimedia content that illustrate chemical concepts important for green chemistry. Each entry includes a description of the item and is searchable by a variety of parameters, including chemistry concepts, laboratory techniques, green chemistry principles, and target audience. Database entries incorporate both published and unpublished materials.

"Obtain quality 3D coordinates for your own chemical structures from the CORINA progam."[1]
"Enter a structure as SMILES string and an identifier in the form below and press the Submit button (or just use "alanin" for demonstration). CORINA will generate 3D coordinates for the given structure. A new page will be generated showing the 3D molecular model if you have RASMOL, CHIME, or some similar program installed on your computer). "[2]

"Substance Registry Services (SRS) is the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) central system for information about substances that are tracked or regulated by EPA or other sources. It is the authoritative resource for basic information about chemicals, biological organisms, and other substances of interest to EPA and its state and tribal partners.

The SRS makes it possible to identify which EPA data systems, environmental statutes, or other sources have information about a substance and which synonym is used by that system or statute. It becomes possible therefore to map substance data across EPA programs regardless of synonym.

The system provides a common basis for identification of, and information about:

  • Chemicals
  • Biological organisms
  • Physical properties
  • Miscellaneous objects"[1]

"CAS is a team of scientists, creating and delivering the most complete and effective digital information environment for scientific research and discovery. CAS provides pathways to published research in the world's journal and patent literature - virtually everything relevant to chemistry plus a wealth of information in the life sciences and a wide range of other scientific disciplines - back to the beginning of the late 19th century.

CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, provides the world's largest and most current collection of chemical and related scientific information, including the most authoritative collection of disclosed chemical substance information, the CAS RegistrySM. CAS combines these databases with advanced search and analysis technologies to deliver the most complete, crosslinked, and effective digital information environment for scientific research and discovery, including such products as SciFinder, STN, STN Express, and STN AnaVistTM, among others"[1].

FTNMR Free Induction Decay Archive

FTNMR Free Induction Decay Archive

Chemistry online Resources

Link - http://rainier.chem.plu.edu/fid_archive.html

"In this archive you will find 1H and 13C NMR free induction decay (FID) files of small organic molecules. The FID's in this archive were acquired on the 300 MHz broad band FTNMR spectrometer at Pacific Lutheran University and are available in the formats described below. This data is provided free as a service to the educational community. If you download and use this data we ask that you acknowledge the Pacific Lutheran University FTNMR FID Archive. Thank you.

A special section of this archive is dedicated to the NMR spectra used in Solomons and Fryhle Organic Chemistry, 7th Edition (John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, ©2000). The Solomons and Fryhle section of the archive is provided in cooperation with John Wiley & and Sons, Inc.

Free induction decay files may be downloaded for processing and viewing in either NUTS ( Acorn NMR) or Felix for Windows (Molecular Simulations, Inc.) format. Either program can be configured as a viewer in your WWW browser.

Another feature of the PLU FID Archive is a searchable database of 94 processed 1H spectra in NUTS format, complete with structure image files. This feature has been provided by Acorn NMR and is available from the PLU chemistry ftp site (ftp.chem.plu.edu). The spectra and image files are compressed in a single 9.2 megabyte .zip file. Instructions for downloading and handling the .zip file are here. "[1]
