Alternate ideas?

Well, Ms. V's post said to think of at least three topics if we weren't absolutely certain of our choices. I may have made my blog all green and such, but who knows! SO. Three alternate ideas:

1) Something involving physical chemistry. It's essentially what happens when you get past atoms into subatomic particles, and it offers the chemistry side of quantum physics. I just don't know what aspect of it I'd like to look at!

2) And then Thanksgiving got me thinking. People say baking is chemistry, and that's why it's so precise. I could look at that, what reactions typically take place in those ovens, and what chemicals contribute to better tasting foods. Possibly very subjective, but also very tasty!

3) I might take the nanotech slant, and look at the possible impact of new materials. It all contributes so much to modern and future technology, and could be fun to research.

Thinking of topic ideas

I'd like to look at chemistry as it relates to the environment and greener products, sometimes called green chemistry. For example, researchers at Yale have created a gel form of carbon dioxide, providing a less expensive and more environmentally friendly solvent and lubricant for industry. It applies new research to helping our world!

Good Morning, Chemistry

Hey chem. It's a new blog! It's a whole new world! Woah!
