 Pharmaceutical Outsourcing
Executives from the pharmaceutical chemical firm Cambrex and Jan Ramakers Fine Chemical Consulting Group made the case that, even if it no longer dominates the headlines, small-molecule pharmaceutical chemistry continues to thrive. |
Chemical Safety Board Chairman Is Leaving
During his nearly five years as chairman of the Chemical Safety & Hazard Investigation Board, Rafael Moure-Eraso has weathered times that were turbulent for both him and the independent board. Now, Moure-Eraso says he'll leave the board when his term ends in June. |
Food & Drug Administration Approves First Biosimilar Drug In U.S.
The Food & Drug Administration has approved the first biosimilar product in the U.S., opening the door for lower cost, generic-like biological drugs to enter the market. The product, called Zarxio (filgrastim-sndz), was developed by Sandoz as a less expensive alternative to Amgen's Neupogen (filgrastim). |

Print Your Heart Out
It was an honest question. But the way Stuart K. Williams asked it sounded like the prelude to a wager: Which organ will researchers first replicate with three-dimensional bioprinting? |
Shrinking The Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
The work "marks important progress in mass spec miniaturization," says R. Graham Cooks, a chemistry professor at Purdue University. "Almost all previous miniature mass spectrometers have used ion traps." |
Conductive Inks Could Transform 3-D Printing
Voxel8, a Harvard spinoff, has developed a machine that can print both highly conductive inks for circuits along with plastic. This makes it possible to do away with conventional circuit boards, the size and shape of which constrain designs and add extra bulk to devices. |

Responsible Innovation, and the (nano) entrepreneur's dilemma
Responsible innovation is a great concept – it embodies ideas around ensuring our inventiveness works for the long term good of society, without inadvertently throwing up more problems than it solves. But to entrepreneurs and others trying to make ends meet while launching a new product or idea, thinking about future consequences can quickly begin to look like an ill-affordable luxury. |
Are you ignorant about the world?
The world is spinning so fast that it can be hard to keep track of everything that is going on. Yet despite the fact that we can feel like we are being increasingly overloaded with information, it's not clear that we're doing a very good job of making sense of all that data we're receiving. |

Interest In Biobased Levulinic Acid Grows
Two Italian chemical firms have launched projects to produce levulinic acid from biomass. The companies say their technologies will lower costs and turn a niche chemical into an attractive new building block for products used in crop protection, coatings, solvents, and fuels. |
A pristine Amazon's last stand
A German-Brazilian team has just put the finishing touches on the Amazon Tall Tower Observatory, a $9.4 million structure taller than the Eiffel Tower that will allow scientists to sample air as close to pristine as any found on Earth. |

3 Improv Exercises That Can Change the Way Your Team Works
We've seen that improv principles are highly applicable to the corporate world. Drawing on lessons we've learned, my group, Second City Works, now counsels leaders during 400 engagements a year, about half with Fortune 1000 companies. Of all the lessons we share, these three are perhaps the most important. |

Horizontal Reactors
Stirring biomass is not easy to do in a vertical reactor. A line of reactors has been developed by Parr Instrument Company to function horizontally. Horizontal reactors enable researchers to mix bio feed stock and other cellulosic materials. | |

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. | |

Are E-cigs Safer Than Cigarettes? - Reactions - YouTube
People have turned to "vaping" with electronic cigarettes as an alternative to puffing on the real thing. But is that vapor you're inhaling any safer than taking a drag on a cigarette? This week, Reactions examines what we know, and what we don't, about e-cigarettes. [video autoplays, pre-roll + 3:09} |
What Does Space Smell Like? Speaking of Chemistry Ep. 15
One of the most surprising things about space is that it has a smell, NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins told Reddit readers this past summer. But how is that even possible? In episode 15 of Speaking of Chemistry, Matt Davenport sticks his nose into the science behind astronomical aromas and celestial body odors. [video, 2:56] |
