posted by Suzie Chhouk Did you know gold is not just a great material for shiny jewelry, but a cornucopia of other uses as well. Because gold is inert and doesn't react with oxygen very well, scientists have been examining the properties of gold on a nanoscale - or particles of gold that are the size of a virus. Scientists are working on medical and technological applications of gold for the future.
Check out the video on nano-gold in the ChemxStuff section! posted by Suzie Chhouk The highest rate of smoking tobacco is in Eastern Europe, but outside Eastern Europe, Japan ranks third (just behind South Korea and Kazakhstan). For decades now, both the scientific community and the general public has come to understand that smoking cigarettes is very harmful to one's health. Still, hundreds of billions of cigarettes are bought worldwide every year. It's one of those habits that we find extremely difficult (to say the least) to kick. In the video below, the American Chemical Society introduces the research of Dr. Kim D. Janda and his team which focuses on a new approach to fight nicotine addiction. While many others approach nicotine addiction from a behavioral psychological or neurological stance, Janda is trying to change the nicotine itself to prevent addiction. Read Janda's article published in the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, "A Conjugate Vaccine Using Enantiopure Hapten Imparts Superior Nicotine-Binding Capacity".
