Tangerang -- Approximately at Thursday 10pm (02/08) The Indonesia Chemistry Olympiad arrived at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport after finished their job at 44th  International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) that is held from 21st-30th July at Washington, D.C., United States. For the 16th times Indonesia sent the delegatin which reprensented by:

IUPAC has officially approved the name flerovium, with symbol Fl, for the element of atomic number 114 and the name livermorium, with symbol Lv, for the element of atomic number 116. Priority for the discovery of these elements was assigned, in accordance with the agreed criteria, to the collaboration between the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia) and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (Livermore, California, USA). The collaborating team has proposed the names flerovium and livermorium which have now been formally approved by IUPAC.

February 17, 2012 Taken from: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/heavy-metal-stars-tellurium-0217.html Nearly 13.7 billion years ago, the universe was made of only hydrogen, helium and traces of lithium — byproducts of the Big Bang. Some 300 million years later, the very first stars emerged, creating additional chemical elements throughout the universe. Since then, giant stellar explosions, or supernovas, have given rise to carbon, oxygen, iron and the rest of the 94 naturally occurring elements of the periodic table.

Kementerian Riset dan Teknologi terus berupaya mendorong penguatan sistem inovasi nasional (SINas), dengan membangun dan memfasilitasi interaksi antara aktor-aktor inovasi, khususnya antara peneliti sebagai penyedia teknologi dengan industri sebagai pengguna teknologi. Salah satu model SINas yang sedang dikembangkan adalah Puspiptek Serpong, melalui revitalisasi menjadi Indonesia Science and Technopark (ISTP). Salah satu upaya untuk mewujudkan ISTP tersebut adalah melalui pembentukan dan pemberdayaan forum-forum antara peneliti di Puspiptek dengan industri. Melalui forum-forum tersebut diharapkan terjadi interaksi yang intensif antara peneliti dengan pelaku industri menyangkut teknologi apa yang dibutuhkan oleh industri dan dapat disediakan oleh peneliti, dan begitu juga sebaliknya. Media interaksi tersebut diwadahi dalam Forum Teknologi Industri Puspiptek (FTIP), yang mewadahi berbagai klaster teknologi seperti kimia, fisika, metalurgi, energi, teknologi nano, dan l...

One in every five pounds in the UK economy is dependent on developments in chemistry research, according to a new report commissioned by the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Industries reliant on chemistry contributed an astonishing £258 billion to the UK economy in 2007 - equivalent to 21% of UK GDP and supported six million jobs, accounting for at least 15% of the UK's exported goods and attracting significant inward investment.

The International Year of Chemistry 2011 ( IYC 2011) is a worldwide celebration of the achievements of chemistry and its contributions to the well-being of humankind. Under the unifying theme “ Chemistry—our life, our future ,” IYC 2011 will offer a range of interactive, entertaining, and educational activities for all ages. The Year of Chemistry is intended to reach across the globe, with opportunities for public participation at the local, regional, and national level. The goals of IYC2011 are to increase the public appreciation of chemistry in meeting world needs, to encourage interest in chemistry among young people, and to generate enthusiasm for the creative future of chemistry. The year 2011 will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Nobel Prize awarded to Madame Marie Curie—an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of women to science. The year will also be the 100th anniversary of the founding of the International Association of Chemical Societies, pr...
