Much of his research focuses on the design and development of catalysts for industrial use. Catalysts are substances, usually used in small amounts relative to the starting materials, which increase the rate of a reaction without being consumed in the process...
...said it took him and his group more than three years to produce about 200 epoxidation catalysts before finding a workable design for use in the epoxide-forming reaction. A Harvard postdoctoral researcher recently synthesized more than 1,200 simpler molecules in one week using the techniques of combinatorial chemistry, Jacobsen said...
...Traditionally, waste hasn't been a big issue in organic chemistry," he says. "A big question now is how to design reactions with as little waste as possible...
...this summer's crop of well-intentioned but clueless souls endeavoring to turn their drab backyards into earthly Edens, the 3D Landscape CD-ROM could be as valuable as seeds or hoes. With this instructional software from Books That Work, budding green thumbs can design their own realistic gardens on an easy-to-use computer grid, dragging and dropping into place any of 800 plants and flowers. Advanced features let users take a 3-D tour of their creations or watch the virtual gardens blossom and fade as the seasons pass. One tip: Don't add water. (Books That Work...
...that time he was also teaching photography at the Institute of Design in Chicago, a transplanted version of the Bauhaus, the great German laboratory of art and design that was shuttered by the Nazis.
