Important Safety Memo from the Chair Upcoming EventsACS Reception for Chemistry Alumni and Friends - One Sponge-Like Material, Three Different ApplicationsEVANSTON, Ill. - A new sponge-like material that is black, brittle and freeze-dried (just like the ice cream astronauts eat) can pull off some pretty impressive feats. Designed by Northwestern University chemist Mercouri Kanatzidis and graduate student Santanu Bag, it can remove mercury from polluted water, easily separate hydrogen from other gases and, perhaps most impressive of all, is a more effective catalyst than the one currently used to pull sulfur out of crude oil. For more information on this interesting material see Northwestern News Center.The National Science Foundation supported the research. |
