Finally, the replacement of retiring Corporation member Charles P. Slichter '45, a physicist and chemist at the University of Illinois, with James R. Houghton '58, the CEO of Corning, Inc., was a signal to some observers that the University's highest governing board was becoming too corporate and less academic...
During the course of the special, Herschbach emphasizes his belief that chemistry is central to modern life. "Making new things is what [chemists] do best. As a chemist, I see chemistry everywhere I look," he says in the program. "The good old days weren't so good, and they weren't so much...
Many of the experts say they are surprised that chemical weapons have not been used in a major attack before. The ingredients for making them are available commercially and can be put together by almost any competent chemist. Muslim zealots, for example, are increasingly a younger generation of angry men who have the education and sophistication to construct weapons their fathers and uncles never dreamed...
...massive explosion on Mars millions of years ago blasted into orbit rocks that have landed on Earth during recent decades, University of California at San Diego chemist Kurt Marti said today.
