The
Big Chill
By Mark Bowman
Magnetic refrigerators, a limited-use technology up to now, get a
boost from new magnetic materials, making them more coompetitive
with conventional gas-based systems.
Searching
for the Light of Decay
By Saren Johnston
Using a powerful resonance technique allows Joe Shinar to study
the decay processes of certain polymers and small organic
molecules. What he discovers from changes in the luminescence
caused by microwave radiation may transform the technology for
polymeric and organic light-emitting diodes.
Lights,
Camera, Action
By Saren Johnston
Ed Yeung and Xiaohong Xu are unlocking the secrets of
single-molecule environments. Using their new detection
technique, they can continuously monitor the dynamics of
molecules in solution, one molecule at a time.
Gaining
an Edge
By Steve Karsjen
The past meets the future in a new technology designed by Ames
Lab scientists that may help the DOE solve its massive
contaminated waste cleanup problems.
Kind
Chemistry
By Saren Johnston
Jim Espenson is chemically redefining the old motto, "waste
not, want not." In his work with hydrogen peroxide
reactions, he makes every atom count, avoiding harmful byproducts
that could be detrimental to the environment.
