This engineering guide explores the ways that green chemistry can save organizations money in their processes while also reducing emissions and environmental impacts. Authors Mukesh Doble (whose article on green reactors is scheduled to appear in the Aug. 2008 issue of CEP) and Anil Kumar Kruthiventi present the science and engineering principles behind green.
Mars probe appears to have landed atop ice

“Ice is a great preserver” Smith said “and it’s one of the building blocks of life. But whether this Martian ice has preserved any evidence or even a suggestion of ancient life remains the unknown of all unknowns. Phoenix can’t really provide the answer because its chemistry instruments can only detect organic chemicals and not whether they ever were parts of living organisms. The scientists on the Phoenix team have given fanciful names to small patches of the surface where they plan to dig into the soil. One for instance is called Humpty Dumpty and King of Hearts is another. But this presumed ice patch bears a much more exciting moniker. Its name is “Holy Cow!” Smith said.

He tries to live ?as sensibly and normally as possible? he said ?in order to tether myself. People tend to float when they?re off-base. ? His only research for the role he said ?was for the chemistry background. I followed a USC chemistry professor around and handled the equipment and asked a lot of questions. ??People ask me ?What about learning about crystal meth?? ?What about learning about cancer???but I wanted to learn about those things as the character learns them. ?Take It as It ComesAs for the choices Walter has made on the show Mr. Cranston said ?I did not find another way [for the character] to handle the problems life threw at him.
