Reports from Other Journals: Research Advances
Nature: "Green" Chemistry, Natural Antioxidants, and a DNA-Fueled Machine
Sabine Heinhorst and Gordon Cannon
Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Southern Mississippi, Hattiesburg, MS 39406-5043

February 2001
Vol. 78 No. 2
p. 150
Abstract
This report from Nature summarizes two breakthroughs in "green" chemistry: A rechargeable Mg battery that might one day become an environmentally benign replacement for our current car batteries, and new polymers that greatly improve the solvent properties of supercritical CO2. Another article highlighted in this column confirms that fresh apples contain oxygen radical scavengers that are more potent than pure vitamin C. Finally, DNA-fueled molecular tweezers are featured that take advantage of the specific interactions between complementary strands of DNA to bring about opening and closing of this nano-device.
