Harmful Chemicals Found In Food
These two chemicals are just the tip of the iceberg of unhealthy chemicals found in diet products. The list goes on to include food coloring, preservatives, taste enhancers, and chemicals that just accidentally get into food due to use in processing plants. Consider these facts before...

Chemical Safety
People use chemicals every day for a wide array of purposes, which can include work and house hold duties. Many of us fail to realize that we are actually handling potentially deadly chemicals when we simply clean the bathroom or wash the car. This brings to mind the reason why chemical safety is so important and why you should always use the chemicals...

Protein Design: Automated protein discovery and synthesis
In this paper I describe (theoretically) the method(s) of automated protein discovery and synthesis. Protein Folding Problem To solve the protein folding problem we can use Artificial Neural Networks. We will train the networks with natural proteins whose 3D structure and amino acid sequence is known. After that we will test the network with few new artificially designed proteins to check if it works correctly... Diamonds Are Forever
Diamonds are a mineral in one of the two crystalline forms of the element carbon. They are the hardest natural substance man knows. Diamonds are sold as gems, and used in industrial applications for smoothing, cutting, and polishing hard materials. Diamonds are most famous for crystallizing in the common colorless form...

Features of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope
The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) invented by Heinrich Rohrer and Gerd Binnig in the 1980s still manages to do a great job today and competes with more advanced microscope types. The scanning tunneling microscope is used for studying the surface atoms that are found on various materials. The device is based on a complex process of "tunneling" electrons between the material and...

What's In Your Beverage? How to Ensure Quality Control with CO2 Analytical Support
Calibration standards, performance audits, and the FDA's never-ending safety, labeling, and inspection requirements are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to dealing with the increasingly stringent quality control standards of the beverage industry. As these quality standards become stricter, beverage producers are increasingly called upon to get products to market faster using fewer resources, while simultaneously managing ingredient quality, and ultimately, risk...
