Springer Science+Business Media bills SpringerMaterials -- The Landolt-Bornstein Database as its latest offering that opens the door to the world's largest resource for physical and chemical data. SpringerMaterials brings the collection's rich content into one easy-to-access platform. In this age of ongoing scientific research being done at an accelerated pace, researchers need to reach out and retrieve vetted data and literature quickly without having to access and scan the primary sources themselves. Users can search in several ways: via a Google-like search box, an advanced search tab that creates a Boolean search term automatically as the user sets up the parameters, or a color-coded periodic table.

ARLINGTON, Va., May 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Teachers, parents, and home-school providers looking to brush up on chemistry concepts will love the ninth book in the popular Stop Faking It! series. Bestselling and award-winning author Bill Robertson uses easy-to-follow activities, humor, and his usual direct approach to take the anxiety out of chemistry and maximize content knowledge.
Robertson begins with a review of fundamental topics such as the periodic table, atomic theory, and chemical reactions. Later chapters introduce new chemistry concepts, such as special reactions, and expand on previously discussed ideas, such as electron energy levels. These pages comprise key definitions, activities designed to aid in the comprehension of central concepts, suggestions for applying the ...

Increase potassium intake
Most of us could use more special K in our diets. Not the cereal, the mineral -- potassium -- which the periodic table of elements lists as "K." The average American gets barely half of the potassium needed each day to keep blood pressure in check and maintain healthy blood vessels, nerves, muscles and bones.

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Garb Oil & Power Corporation (OTCQB: GARB.PINK) Computers, mobile phones and cars are the mines of the throwaway society. A mobile phone virtually contains the entire periodic table. In addition to common industrial metals such as copper and aluminum, the Company stated that electronic waste includes gold and rare metals such as gallium and germanium. Already, there is a global competition for high-quality waste.
The Florida plant will have 25,000 metric tons input and produce output in Copper, Aluminum, Alloys and Plastic. Once operational the plant will provide estimated revenues in excess of $15,000,000 and EBITA in excess of $8,400,000 per year of operation starting from 2013. All raw materials will be on sold in the States for local pro...

The EPA is proposing National Uniform Emission Standards for Storage Vessels and Transfer Operations, Equipment Leaks and Control Devices, herein referred to as Uniform Standards. The EPA is also proposing supplemental revisions to the National Uniform Emission Standards General Provisions, which were proposed with the National Uniform Emission Standards for Heat Exchange Systems, signed by the EPA Administrator on November 30, 2011. The proposed Uniform Standards would be referenced, as appropriate, in future revisions to new source performance standards and national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for individual source categories that are part of the chemical manufacturing and refining industries that have storage vessels and transfer operations, equipment leaks or con...

Robert Duncan's fascination with science is obvious - and contagious.
During a meeting to discuss operations at the University of Missouri's Research Reactor, he used his necktie to identify elements used as radioisotopes for medical tests. The tie was adorned with the periodic table.

Jared Brown knows his science, and he wants students in his chemistry classes to know the same.
To get them interested, the new chemistry teacher pulled out old- school references to the television show "MacGyver" and referred to the periodic table of elements as fascinating on his first day of classes at the Southwest Virginia Governor's School.

WOODLAND HILLS - As a student at El Camino Real High School, Jake Lin spent his days memorizing the periodic table, learning gene theory and mastering the relationship between protons, neutrons and electrons.
Ten years later, Lin still spends his days, and some nights, studying homeostasis, physics and cell theory. But now, he's helping train a whole new crop of science scholars.

SOUND SCIENCE COUNTS itself as one of the many victims of the Bush administrations assault on reason, and sound science is fighting back-finally, with support from Congress. Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii), chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation held a hearing on Feb. 7 to explore allegations that the government has attempted to censor 150 climate scientists by pressuring them to delete references to "global warming" or "climate change" from scientific papers and reports, and avoid talking with the media.
The scientist statement makes clear that while science is rarely the only factor in public policy decisions, this input should be objective and impartial," says Francesca Grifo, the director of the UCS's Scientific Integrity Program. "Sustained protest ...

It's time for scholars and fans of applied science to update their periodic tables after more than a decade's wait: Two elements officially have been added.
Elements 114 and 116 were discovered more than 10 years ago by a team from Livermore and Russia," said Anne M. Stark, a spokeswoman for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California. "They have just been accepted into the periodic table.
