 Resident USSRian        | Chemistry Highlights 2004 Hey, i was just reading news, and there was a link to chemistry.about.com, i thought interesting, so i clicked, anyways, i found this really interesting article called "Chemistry Highlights 2004" that pretty much outlines most major chemical breakthroughs this year. Here's the link: http://chemistry.about.com/gi/dynami...s.acs.org/cen/ (Edit: Unfortunately they use hidden urls, so you need to click on chemistry highlights 2004 link on top...) ---------------- And remember that great question that Pierre-Simon Laplace and Sir Isaac Newton, Andrei Markov and David Hilbert, Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein and Edmund Halley did not come to ask throughout all of their dedication and work: "Who the hell is IMing me?"

 Explaining | Re: Chemistry Highlights 2004 So what do you make of it, guys? I noticed that about 75% of them were done at American Universities. and a majority of the universities were in California. Absolutely none came from Asia, nor Australasia, never mind Africa. I'm sure I didn't miss any. So what are the philosophical implications of that? | |

 Explaining | Re: Chemistry Highlights 2004 most of them are about bio-chemisry....well, biology and chemistry always stick together. only one of these discovery seems familiar to me... the discoveries of elements 113 and 115. anyway, i like the zinc-zinc bond and silicon-silicon triple bonds things... i wonder if people can actually make stuff like silicon verion of ethyne, that would be cool. ---------------- I have mistaken, apologized, and taken the consequences. My only regret, was for how I was bothered by the unchangable. | |

But I also think that lists like that tend to be US-biased. I haven't given thought to the philosophical implications...I guess it's part of the way US media view the world. ---------------- Your Friendly Neighborhood AdministratorWant to sponsor Hypography?

| Explaining | Re: Chemistry Highlights 2004 1st of all... US has the wealth and power to support scientific developments. 2nd of all... many countries are not rich as US is, therefore fewer supports for these science stuffs. Also, most of the people dont even have a chance to develope their ideas or talents. Lastly, since US has the money and rewards to the people who invent stuffs... many of these talented people come to American... ---------------- I have mistaken, apologized, and taken the consequences.

| Resident USSRian | Re: Chemistry Highlights 2004 actually, it could be me accidentally skipping something, but i havent seen anything in there about the progress of MRAM and how researchers are combining silicon with some metals without damaging its crystalic structure, yet enabling it to have electromagnetic properties similar to Indium but without the damaging effects... ---------------- And remember that great question that Pierre-Simon Laplace and Sir Isaac Newton, Andrei Markov and David Hilbert, Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein and Edmund Halley did not come to ask throughout all of their dedication and work: "Who the hell is IMing me?"

| Resident USSRian | Re: Chemistry Highlights 2004 Thats probably the leading cause for most scientists who move to the US, Tinny. Being smart is good, but whats the point of being smart if it doesnt provide you with food on your table? Doing what you like is good, but getting paid for doing it is better, and getting paid very well for what you do is the best, unfortunately the way our society works is so much dependant on the money that it is the drive behind what lots of people do, and thats why i hate money... ---------------- And remember that great question that Pierre-Simon Laplace and Sir Isaac Newton, Andrei Markov and David Hilbert, Richard Feynman and Enrico Fermi, Albert Einstein and Edmund Halley did not come to ask throughout all of their dedication and work: "Who the hell is IMing me?"
