Supercritical carbon dioxide: a solvent like no other

Supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) could be one aspect of a significant and necessary movement towards green chemistry, being a potential replacement for volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Unfortunately, carbon dioxide has a notoriously poor solubilising power and is famously difficult to handle. This review examines attempts and breakthroughs in enhancing the physicochemical properties of ca...

Becoming like the Other

People who spend time together begin to experience the world in similar ways, coming in fact to share the world. Just a few days ago, my wife and I walked through downtown Victoria to pick up a stereo amplifier from the repair shop when I noticed her head move slightly left to right. I turned my head in the direction of her gaze, and, before we began talking, I knew she was alerting me to the a...

Other Exafs-like Phenomena

A description and comparison of various EXAFS-like phenomena are presented based on theoretical and practical considerations. Most of the phenomena are similar but not exactly the same as EXAFS. This does not limit their usefulness for structure determination but requires separate experimental calibration and theoretical calculations.
