    • Ähnliche Artikel bereitgestellt von Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Wired has a new article about my chemical hero Hervé This, „The Father of Molecular Gastronomy Whips Up a New Formula„.

    Molecular gastronomy is more than just the chemistry of cooking, think new flavors, new cocktails, stuff done with liquid nitrogen, encapsulation with agarose or alginate.

    Many cool things you, too, can try at home. Will you?

    • Ähnliche Artikel bereitgestellt von Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     The periodic spiral is a perfect example of infoporn and science visualization. Who would have know that after Mendeleev’s glorious act of inventing the periodic system of the elements, or rather its design and structure — its visualization, someone, some hundred years later would try again. This time, though, it looks functional and pretty: the periodic spiral uses a hexagonal grid in which all elemnts are placed in a spiral starting from the center of that hexagon; the trick that still keeps the chemical grouping together is the generous use of white space: the groups are all aligned radially, blocks are still blocks. So, in a way, there is not much new in this kind of visualization, it is just no longer square but hexagonal. Still, the noble metals are set apart from the less noble ones, but as far as Ⅰ can tell there is no obvious advantage to do so…

    On the mentioned site you can also check out a shockwave application that lets you explore some characteristics and data of the elements; there is also a downloadable (and not free) version for Macs and Windows.

    • Ähnliche Artikel bereitgestellt von Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Many nmr solvent peak lists are very useful but not complete. Ⅰ usually just refer to the [J.Org.Chem article by Gottlieb et al.](http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/jo971176v „link to Article’s DOI“) for solvent peaks, the corresponding chemical shifts for water and other commonly used solvents) – but DMF is not on that list as a solvent. A quick googling returned this list:NMR-Lösungsmittel. The introductory text is in German, and translates as:

    br = broad signal, ⅿ = fine structure of peaks
    *water peaks* depending on concentration and polarity of the dissolved compounds the water peaks may be shifted a bit; temperature differences also influence the chemical shift of water. All 1H-spectra show a broad water peak as a result of atmospheric humidity – usually this peak is neglectable, but in very dilute solutions your integrals may be affected

    this is the Google search, resulting in another good table, another one, and many more ;)

    • Ähnliche Artikel bereitgestellt von Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]>     Ⅰ student of mine just told me about iNMR… and since Ⅰ like looking at α software (the version is supposed to be 0.0) Ⅰ gave it a shot.

    1. First impression: horrible. No toolbar, nothing mac like, as far as Ⅰ am concerned. A look into the menu bar revealed some functions, but somehow Ⅰ was missing the functionalities of Win-NMR or XWin-NMR (which, of course is a) not a nice thing to do, comparing a newcomer to the old bastards and b) which is in itself unfair again, as both apps are not on OSX and have horrible interfaces.) But then Ⅰ gave it a try…

    2. Second impression: well there are many functions available, Ⅰ accidentally started hitting keys on my keyboard and suddenly Ⅰ could do all sorts of things: integration, zooming, marking…

    3. Third impression: the web based documentation is superb. The graphics are nice.. (and you can also take screenshots)

    iNMR

    Summary:

    This little app is very promising. It is ba far the best NMR app Ⅰ have seen on OSX so far, and this is just a very early pre-release. Although ⅰ am not very happy with a) the interface and b) the pricing (yes, it is very early and pre-release — Ⅰ can also understand why the makers are doing it, doesnt mean Ⅰ need to be happy with it!).

    Ⅰ will give it a look later on – and Ⅰ might end up buying a license for myself – just to make pretty pictures for my thesis… ;)
