Soft robotics for chemists.

In areas from assembly of machines to surgery, and from deactivation of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to unmanned flight, robotics is an important and rapidly growing field of science and technology. It is currently dominated by robots having hard body plans—constructions largely of metal structural elements and conventional joints—and actuated by electrical motors, or pneumatic or hydrau...

Turning Merit Scores into Salaries

M u ch has been written in the higher education administration literat u re about measuring the re s e a rch , t e a ch i n g, and service outcomes of faculty memb e rs (Braskamp and Ory 1994; Dilts, H ab e r, and Bialik 1994; Lewis 1996; Cent ra 1993). How each of many multiple outcomes enters salary determ i n at i o n e q u ations is also well studied, with even similar dep a rtments of econ...

The Chemists' War on Disease

For nearly a century and a half scientists have been studying ways of immunizing people against various diseases by artificial methods. Working mostly by trial and error they have devised reasonably safe vaccines and antisera for many diseases with a resulting spectacular decrease in mortality. T h e usual proceedure for vaccination is to inject the patient with the diseases-producing organisms...
