Pollution Killing Flower's Fragrance
Biochemists have shown that
air pollution inhibits the
distance that flower's
fragrances can travel. Scent
molecules usually travel
easily in the air, but
pollutants break them apart,

Scum-Free Fish Tank
Chemical engineers developed
a pump that splits into two
pieces, a propeller for the
interior of the aquarium and
a motor for the exterior,
connected across the glass
wall by strong magnets. The
magnet is made of neodymium,
