Jain, who is a chemistry and physics concentrator, is experimenting on the level of individual electrons. He has been attempting to use magnetic nanoparticles to catalyze chemical reactions, thereby increasing the rate at which the reaction occurs. He said that this area of research allowed him to combine disciplines without obvious connections, such as organic chemistry and quantum mechanics...
Though real world applications for these experiments are nebulous at the moment, according to Jain, he added that it would be interesting to gain a better understanding of how enzymes operate at a subatomic level...
...Many schools’ Phi Beta Kappa is determined solely by grade point average, and we have long felt that that is a narrow viewpoint,” McCarty said. “We want to look at academic excellence more broadly. The level of difficulty and the breath of academic experience that they show is more than a simple numerical calculation. We still preserve all of that in this process...
...remains somewhat unclear is whether Russia was directly involved in the protests that prompted his ousting. On Friday, April 9, Omurbek Tekebayev, another leader of the revolutionary government, claimed that it was. In an interview with Reuters, Tekebayev said Russia had "played a role," adding, "You've seen the level of Russia's joy when they saw Bakiyev was gone. So now there is a high probability that the duration of the U.S. air base's presence in Kyrgyzstan will be shortened." (See pictures of the disorder in Kyrgyzstan...
...temptation to engage in conflict with the West comes from this sense of self-protection, from an intense debate about whether the West is really trying to welcome China or to do something to it yet again. One well-connected Chinese scholar wrote recently that even at the level of the Politburo, there had been intense fights about Hu's attending the Washington nuclear summit after what was seen as the U.S.'s "ruthless undermining of Chinese dignity." The West needs to remember that this excitability among internal forces emerges as a result of China's success and not always...
