In this presentation of some recent scientific advances reported in other journals, three topics are briefly discussed. The first topic concerns an unusual analysis that allows natural product identification without purification. The second topic is about research suggesting how to reduce acrylamide levels in french fries. The third topic reviews a novel sensor for detecting mercury contamination.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your participants.
