At a snail's pace - this is how proteins should move inside living cells where viscosity of environment exceeds the viscosity of water even by million times. However, proteins move not much slower than in water! While looking for a solution to this puzzle, scientists from the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the PolishAcademy of Sciences discovered a new principle of physics.

 

A Kansas State University chemical engineer has developed and patented a chemical structure to make all-natural personal care products and purer pharmaceuticals in the laboratory.

 

Nanotechnology is the basis of many new products in industries as diverse as electronics, health, energy, cosmetics, coatings, packaging and textiles. The key to unlocking the innovation potential of nanotechnology is through chemistry, says Dr Mark Morrison, Scientific Manager, Institute of Nanotechnology.
