POSTECH researchers develop new high-strength, lightweight steel
Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea have developed a new type of steel with improved tensile strength and lightness. In their approach, they effectively utilized a brittle intermetallic compound (B2) that metallurgists usually try to suppress by modifying B2 morphology and dispersion in the steel matrix. |
Could an HIV drug beat strep throat, flesh-eating bacteria?
With antibiotic resistance on the rise, scientists are looking for innovative ways to combat bacterial infections. The pathogen that causes conditions from strep throat to flesh-eating disease is among them, but scientists have now found a tool that could help them fight it: a drug approved to treat HIV. |

What Is Analytics Amplifying in Your Organization?
With the current attention to analytics, it is easy to forget that business processes are the core, not the analytics about them. Analytics is about making an organization do what it usually does, only better. |
Is Innovation More About People or Process?
What’s more critical to producing a breakthrough innovation – finding creative people or finding creative ideas? This is a question Pixar head Ed Catmull has asked a great many people, and he says they tend to be pretty much split on it 50/50. |

Maynard Webb: The Freelance Nation Looks Promising
The rise of the sharing economy and the increase in the number of independent contractors is not causing low pay, irregular hours and job insecurity. Our world has changed and our companies have not been able to provide stability, which has instigated another way of working. |
How To Realize When You're Sabotaging Your Career
"It’s not like it’s an easy thing—‘Oh, I think I’ll just reinvent myself again.’ So, I know on a deep, visceral level what it’s like to make errors that are huge and then to recalibrate your life," career coach Karen E. Berg says. |

5400 Continuous Flow Tubular Reactors
Parr Tubular Reactors use continuous reactant feed, a variety of heating and product handling options, with automation and data collection options. Systems range from desktop to pilot plant. | |
|

Fluidized Bed Reactors
Parr Fluidized Bed Reactors are used extensively in the chemical process industries. In these reactors, the solids bed or catalytic particles are supported by an up flow of gas. Advantages of this reactor include easy loading and removal of catalyst, a high conversion with large throughput, tight temperature control, no hot spots in the bed, uniform catalyst distribution, and longer catalyst life. | |

The Rise of the Zhangjiang High-Tech Park
Not long ago, you could often see a scene like this in a Legend Square restaurant near the metro of Zhangjiang High Tech Park (Zhangjiang): A table of “sea turtle” (returnees) and “earth turtle” (natives) drug discovery scientists arguing over the key mechanism of a specific GPCR while enjoying their beers. Someone in the group suggests asking a friend from across the street, who is an expert in that area, to comment on their discussion; when they realized the person they are looking for is seated in the same restaurant. |
Making a Difference with Research: Profile of Jeannette Brown
Becoming a chemist may not be many women’s childhood dream, but it was Jeannette Elizabeth Brown’s. Inspired by her family doctor, at 5 years old Ms. Brown decided to study science. Her goal was to help others using scientific knowledge, like her doctor did. |
