Chemistry of Photography Print E-mail
Articles
Written by Drew Myers   

While it is easy to make comparisons between the pupil of the eye and the f-stop of a camera or between the retina of the eye and photographic film, once we get past the basic similarities of the optics of the two systems, comparisons begin to rapidly break down. The eye is not only much more complex than a camera and its film, but the two imaging devices function by different chemical mechanisms.

Developing a New Drug Print E-mail
Articles
Written by Chris Haslego   

The purpose of this article is to look at how drugs are developed today in the modern world and how the chemical engineer is instrumental in the development of new drugs.  Let's first take a look at how the development of a new drug begins.  It is interesting to also know that on average it takes 12 years for an experimental drug to travel from the lab to your medicine cabinet.  Only 5 in 5,000 compounds that enter the preclinical testing phase actually make it to human testing.   One of these five drugs tested in people is approved.

Magic Chip Print E-mail
Articles
Written by Shankara Narayanan K.R.   

Imagine a device no bigger than a credit card that could extract your DNA from a drop of blood and map your entire genetic code while you wait. Within a short period of time the proneness to any illness or disease could be mapped and studied. This is not a snippet from a fiction movie. Biologists and engineers will have ONE working in just a few years, because the tool that makes it possible, a genetic microarray known as the " DNA chip ", already exists. Able to scrutinize tens of thousands of genes at once, the DNA chip's astonishing abilities are astounding biologists.
