Examples: Sensors to sniff potential chemical weapons will improve industrial processes and environmental monitoring.
Seeing the chemical's potential for on-site testing and its appeal to a wider market, the company, then called U.S. Drug Testing, changed its name.
Bring in a team of biologists and chemists to experiment with different chemical variations of the potential drug, try them out in cells, try them out in mice, then in bunnies and dogs, and eventually try them out in humans.
This would affect the cost-benefit calculations of potential users of chemical weapons so as to discourage use.
That fund would leave hospitals better prepared for potential biological and chemical attacks, provide money to hire more Coast Guard and customs workers, and secure ports, bridges and tunnels, Clark said.
In the works, though, is something much more exciting: The use of topiramate, an anti-convulsive drug, which shows potential to correct brain chemical imbalances that trigger the cycle of craving and reward.

That fact coupled with the potential backlash should one of these baby perfumes be found to contain a known chemical of concern or should the latest baby eau de toilette kick off a rash of rashes should give manufacturers pause.
Its polymer technology also carries the potential for other application markets, including water desalination, ultra-capacitors and energy generation, chemical and biohazard resistant fabrics, and immersion coatings.
However, it is not the forces of energy trapped in chemical bonds or even the awesome power of the atom that we are now beginning to unleash, but human potential itself.
If government can find a way to drive some of this bias against obese people out of the scientific agenda, we have real potential to see solutions, building on promising new research that looks differently at the physiology of obesity and chemical and environmental triggers previously unexplored.
