What's up with crystallography? *looks around nervously*Comment

You mean X-ray crystallography? Cool **** - not that I'd want to spend everyday doing it though but it'd be a fun collaboration to work on a structure.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

When my postdoc ran out, that's where I ended up. These days I do macromolecular x-ray xtalograpgy for structural bio.
And yeah, doing it everyday is a real yawner.

chemical reactions involve breaking and forming bonds. typically a catalyst helps move the molecule to a "transition state" (basically a weakened bond) that allows reaction to move forward.Comment

Funny you can't find anything like that, anywhere, in English.Originally posted by Ecthy
Churchill often gets quoted as saying "I don't believe any statistis that I haven't faked myself".
Do you think Churchill was a great scientist?
Was he speaking German when he said it?(\__/)

OK, let's talk single wall carbon nanotubes. The applications side. Don't know much about the science.Originally posted by TCO
Let's talk nano-materials. You must have a brain to participate.
Carbon Nanotechnologies Inc. built a reactor with a capacity of 30,000 lbs./year, but are only operating at about 10% capacity. What gives? Not so rosy future for the technology? Did Smalley dying take the life out of the industry?
I was interested in the applications for increasing lithium-ion battery capacity and possible ultracapacitors.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

smalley has nothing to do with anythingComment

He was a gladhander and rainmaker. Good skills to have to get gov't dough. So why only 10% capacity? Any guesses?I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

By the way, I bought some Under Armour stuff a couple of months ago. Great shorts. The shirts are effective, but start stinking after a while.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

government dough and rainmaking means little. Having a material with a value prop does.Comment
