It only sticks to arteries after it becomes electrically charged in the normal chemical process of oxidation.
This liberates hydrogen ions for the acidity, turns insoluble sulfide into very soluble sulfate, and creates rust from reduced iron, a fascinating, if annoying, chemical process.
Jonathan Vennerstrom, a researcher at the University of Nebraska, has come up with a five-step chemical process to make compounds that can mimic the action of artemisinin derivatives.
This type of color gel processing didn't take off in the early 20th century due to the mechanical complexity, and it would have been inferior to a chemical process since each frame carried only one-third of the full color information.

By 2003 Illumina scientist Kevin Gunderson invented a chemical process that allowed Illumina to get more-accurate results, even as it packed more DNA on a chip. (Instead of the lithography that Affymetrix uses, Illumina affixes DNA to tiny glass beads packed in the chip.) "I've been in the analytical sciences for 30 years, and I've never seen anything this accurate, " says John W. Hooper, chief executive of Quebec gene-finding firm Genizon, an Illumina customer.

"The fun of the challenge from the science perspective is that you do have farmers and biologists and entomologists, and biochemists and chemical engineers, and process engineers and business people and investors all working to solve this, and it ranges anywhere from a political issue to a technical issue, " del Cardayre said.
The chip and cuffs are designed to read and process electrical and chemical signatures of appetite within the nerve.

BP, a British energy firm, has worked out how to industrialise the process of making biobutanol, as the chemical is commonly known when it is the product of fermentation.
The fungus uses a common carbohydrate processing enzyme called acetyl co-A to form the building blocks of hydrocarbons--but its unique chemical pathways are not yet understood nor is the process by which the gases escape the fungal membrane into the air.
Chemical companies today create hydrogen by cracking methane, a process that results in a tremendous amount of greenhouse gases.
As well as helping to identify Martian meteorites, the analysis of these samples, whose composition is known beforehand, will also provide clues as to how the process of re-entry affects a meteorite's chemical make-up.
Currently, they are building the device using a gallium-phosphide semiconductor, and while the existing rendition still requires "additional energy" outside of sheer sunlight for the process to work, they're hoping that the American Chemical Society will warm up to the idea and give 'em a helping hand.
