The research group of Prof. Tomislav Fri拧膷i膰 in 成人VR视频鈥檚 Department of Chemistry has made a name for itself in the little-known, but growing field of 鈥渕echanochemistry,鈥 in which chemical transformations are produced by milling, grinding or shearing solid-state ingredients 鈥 brute force, in other words, rather than fancy liquid agents. 鈥淵our coffee maker grinds things,鈥 and grinding molecules in the lab involves much the same principle, Fri拧膷i膰 notes. Using mechanical force also has the significant advantage of avoiding the use of environmentally harmful bulk solvents.

Vani Hari, who goes by the alias 鈥淭he Food Babe鈥 has become a real social phenomenon. She blogs, appears on TV and has just come out with a book that quickly made it to the New York Times best seller list. She has lots of followers and lots of critics, including myself. I don鈥檛 disagree with her goal of improving people鈥檚 eating habits. I just disagree with the methods used. Irrational fear-mongering is not the way to go. "There is just no acceptable level of any chemical to ingest, ever," she says.

Professor Catherine Potvin, a Canada Research Chair in Climate Change Mitigation and Tropical Forests, has convened colleagues from 30 Canadian universities to join her in a collective initiative called Sustainable Canada Dialogues. The resulting group, that mobilizes over 60 researchers from every province, has built a consensus around a plan of sustainability solutions to help Canada successfully achieve transition to a low-carbon society. Potvin spoke with the 成人VR视频 Reporter about what government officials and ordinary citizens can do to mitigate climate change.

The popular dietary supplement ubiquinone, also known as Coenzyme Q10, is widely believed to function as an antioxidant, protecting cells against damage from free radicals. But a new study by scientists at 成人VR视频 finds that ubiquinone is not a crucial antioxidant -- and that consuming it is unlikely to provide any benefit.

The organisms commonly known as blue-green algae have proliferated much more rapidly than other algae in lakes across North America and Europe over the past two centuries 鈥 and in many cases the rate of increase has sharply accelerated since the mid-20th century, according to an international team of researchers led by scientists at 成人VR视频.
