New iPad app ‘Lewis Dots’ allows users to experience chemistry like never before
A new, free iPad app putting students in better touch with chemistry hit the iTunes store this month, catching the attention of chemistry teachers nationwide. Students at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University (NYU-Poly) developed the “Lewis Dots” app as part of a larger educational initiative encouraging young women from underprivileged communities to study [...]
New video: BASF illustrates chemistry behind lithium-ion battery, future electric car
Chemistry goes into the lithium-ion and lithium-polymer batteries we depend on every day to power our automobiles, military equipment, laptops, mobile phones, MP3 players and more. But have you ever wondered how the battery technology works exactly? In less than three minutes, BASF’s new animated video illustrates the chemistry behind the battery and hints at [...]
Washington Post ad: BASF chemistry products help warm our homes, conserve energy this winter
“Warm houses love energy bills,” reads a smart full-page ad appearing in today’s Washington Post. “BASF’s construction solutions and energy-efficient materials are more cost-effective than conventional insulating systems and materials, and have a much higher insulation capacity. So, thanks to products like Neopor® and Elastopor®, houses stay warmer in the winter and waste less energy. [...]
Daimler turns to chemistry, BASF to help make Smart car more energy efficient
The Smart car just got a lot smarter, thanks to a new intelligent energy system and lightweight design co-engineered by Daimler and BASF. Debuting at the Frankfurt auto show last month, the energy efficient Forvision concept car impressed audiences with a slew of innovative materials and design features – something you might expect from one [...]
More jobs possible from natural gas drilling offshoots; shale fact sheets for MI, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TX, WV
Steve Bennish’s piece in the Dayton Daily News this morning adds rich context to ACC’s newly developed fact sheets on shale gas investment opportunities in Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and West Virginia. Though statistics vary from state to state, you’ll find that each of the fact sheets tells the same story: [...]
American chemistry geared up for U.S. military march toward clean energy innovation
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has embarked on a stalwart march toward clean energy innovation, as America’s chemistry industry gears up for what may become one of the military’s greatest tactical maneuvers of the 21st century. Grist’s David Roberts thinks the military’s storied move is all about “technology, the changing face of warfare, geopolitics [...]
Ohio panelist on shale gas: ‘Mother nature gave us a great gift. You either play the hand, or you fold it.’
At The Ohio State University on Wednesday, ACC President Cal Dooley led a panel discussion on the promise of energy-rich Marcellus and Utica Shales to Ohio’s economy and power supply, and how policy makers, new infrastructure and a qualified workforce can help deliver on that promise. The expert panel, one of many at the Ohio [...]
West Virginia “a big winner in shale gas development,” Dooley tells Charleston Daily Mail
ACC President Cal Dooley met with Daily Mail business editor George Hohmann on Monday to discuss West Virginia’s role in capitalizing on one of the most exciting domestic energy developments of the past 50 years: access to vast, new supplies of natural gas from previously untapped shale deposits. The Charleston newspaper had previously taken interest [...]
Best way to grow economy and create jobs? Robust development of domestic shale gas
On Monday, National Journal reporter Amy Harder asked her Energy & Environment readers, “Where Does Energy Fit Into Obama’s Jobs Plan?” Though the President didn’t mention the word energy in his national address last week, ACC President Cal Dooley thinks the best way to grow the economy and create jobs is to ensure the continued [...]
