Chemical year in review
Chemical & Engineering News Share
Chemical & Engineering News' annual Research Year In Review reveals some of the superlative achievements we featured in 2012. For instance, scientists made major progress in atomic-resolution imaging and began to capitalize on the synthetic potential of so-called frustrated Lewis pairs. Our selections, displayed in no particular order, are subjective and not intended to be comprehensive.

Tackling Mars, violence, Higgs boson: Science wishes for 2013
LiveScience Share
In the past year, science has achieved a number of major steps forward, from the probable discovery of the elusive Higgs boson, a crucial particle for our understanding of physics, to the landing of NASA's Curiosity Rover on Mars.
In climate science, researchers took a comprehensive look at polar ice loss, discovering with more detail than ever how the Antarctic and Arctic are responding to global warming.

The first goat genome sets a good example for facilitating de novo assembly of large genomes
eBioNews Share
In a collaborative study published online in Nature Biotechnology, researchers from Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, BGI, and other institutes, have completed the first genome sequence of domestic goat by a robust approach integrated with next-generation sequencing and whole-genome mapping technologies. The goat genome is the first reference genome for small ruminant animals.

Spontaneous thermoreversible formation of cationic vesicles in a protic ionic liquid
Journal of the American Chemical Society Share
The search for stable vesicular structures is a long-standing topic of research because of the usefulness of these structures and the scarcity of surfactant systems that spontaneously form vesicles in true thermodynamic equilibrium. We report the first experimental evidence of spontaneous formation of vesicles for a pure cationic double tail surfactant (didodecyldimethylammonium bromide) in a protic ionic liquid (ethylammonium nitrate).

Cadaver stem cells offer new hope of life after death
NewScientist Share
Dead bodies can provide organs for transplants, and now they might become a source of stem cells, too. Huge numbers of stem cells can still be mined from bone marrow five days after death to be potentially used in a variety of life-saving treatments. Human bone marrow contains mesenchymal stem cells, which can develop into bone, cartilage, fat and other cell types.

Microstructured barbs on the North American porcupine quill enable easy tissue penetration and difficult removal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Share
North American porcupines are well known for their specialized hairs, or quills that feature microscopic backward-facing deployable barbs that are used in self-defense. Herein we show that the natural quill's geometry enables easy penetration and high tissue adhesion where the barbs specifically contribute to adhesion and unexpectedly, dramatically reduce the force required to penetrate tissue.

Dance of water molecules turns fire-colored beetles Into antifreeze artists
ScienceDaily Share
Certain plants and animals protect themselves against temperatures below freezing with antifreeze proteins. How the larva of the beetle Dendroides Canadensis manages to withstand temperatures down to minus-30 degrees Celsius is reported by an international team of researchers, who showed that interactions between the antifreeze proteins and water molecules contribute significantly to protection against the cold.

Researchers solve crystal structure of key biofilm protein
Phys.org Share
Researchers at the University of Cincinnati report that they have solved the crystal structure of a protein involved in holding bacterial cells together in a biofilm, a major development in their exploration of the causes of hospital-acquired infections. The finding, the researchers say, enables them to have an atomic-level view of what the protein looks like and how it becomes "sticky" in the presence of zinc ions.

Why do we crave greasy food when we're hung over?
Popular Science Share
The desire to eat high-fat foods after drinking too much is rooted in human's earliest, humblest beginnings, some scientists say. "All mammals gravitate to eating the most energy-dense foods," David Levitsky, professor of human ecology and nutritional sciences at Cornell University, says. "Fat is the most energy-dense food available." It's just that, sober, you won't usually give in to those cravings.
