For 50 years, theoretical chemists have puzzled over the problem of predicting many-electron chemistry with only two electrons, which many thought intractable and perhaps impossible to solve.

One scientist will present a new approach to tuning his solution to the problem for exceptional computational accuracy and efficiency in the journal Physical Review Letters.

(University of Chicago) For 50 years, theoretical chemists have puzzled over the problem of predicting many-electron chemistry with only two electrons, which many thought intractable and perhaps impossible to solve.

David Mazziotti will present a new approach to tuning his solution to the problem for exceptional computational accuracy and efficiency in the Dec. 12 issue of Physical Review Letters.

(University of Oregon) Tomorrow's specialty plastics may be produced more precisely and cheaply thanks to the apparently tight merger of a theory by a University of Oregon chemist and years of unexplained data from real world experiments involving polymers in Europe.

140 years since its discovery, and despite the best endeavors of many scientists, helium, the lightest of the 'noble' gases, still stubbornly refuses to enter into any chemical alliance.

Now a new glimmer of hope has emerged from Poland as a chemist there has calculated that two new compounds containing a helium-oxygen bond could be formed.

(Virginia Tech) The National Institutes of Health has renewed a five-year research grant for a total of $2.5 million to an international biodiversity group lead by natural-product chemist David G.

I. Kingston, who will share a portion of any royalties generated by sales of pharmaceuticals developed from this work with Madagascar, where the research is taking place.

The award is the third competitive renewal of a research program that Kingston began in 1993.

If one researcher has his way, you may soon be buying bottles of water brimming with the life-sustaining coenzyme CoQ10 at your local Costco.

Like vitamin C, CoQ10 is a compound that's vital to our survival.

A chemist has discovered a new marker together with three associated monoclonal antibodies which are promising candidates for cancer therapy.

Up to now, monoclonal antibodies have only aided the chemotherapeutic fight against cancer to a limited extent.

(University of California - Santa Barbara) If Bruce Lipshutz has his way, you may soon be buying bottles of water brimming with the life-sustaining coenzyme CoQ10 at your local Costco.

(University of Texas at Austin) A dynamic way to alter the shape and size of microscopic three-dimensional structures built out of proteins has been developed by biological chemist Jason Shear and his former graduate student Bryan Kaehr at the University of Texas at Austin.
