In research news read about self-organising synthetic oligomers, de-inking paper for recycling purposes and copper particles which can form electrical circuits by directed electrochemical growth. This week's Java applet is from Carnegie-Mellon University and is a wide ranging tutorial on physical chemistry covering such matters as "Why things have colour" to a "Particle in a box simulator". WebPicks stays on a similar theme with "Theory of Atoms in Molecules" and "Niven´s Wonderful World of Chromatography". Brush up on your Hamiltonian operators and HPLC skills here. It's not all chemistry though. We also take a look at the forthcoming Ryder Cup. Editorial impartiality forbids The Alchemist team from taking sides, but let's just hope the best team wins (provided it's Europe). Elsewhere, David Bradley muses over atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in Catalyst and we profile Vladimir Kren from the Czech Academy of Sciences. Thank you for your continued interest in The Alchemist. Next issue: 26 September. ---------------------------------------------- GetReminded.Com - FREE Email Reminder Service http://www.getreminded.com/ ---------------------------------------------- chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
