EMORY CHEMISTS CREATE UNPRECEDENTED METALLIC MOLECULE, November 26
For the first time ever, Emory University researchers have broken through the so-called "oxo-wall" to create stable multiple chemical bonds between oxygen and platinum - once thought impossible because oxygen is extremely unstable when combined with certain metals. The breakthrough holds the potential for numerous applications in fuel cells, catalytic converters and emerging 'green' chemistry.

ARCTIC CLIMATE CHANGE UNCOVERED, November 26
56 million years of Arctic history were recently uncovered during the course of the world's largest Earth Science programme, which should enable scientists to understand climate change more effectively.
The University of Leicester Geology Department is playing a significant part in the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), which began in 2003 and has a predicted budget of $160M per annum by 2007.
