For the FIGIPAS Meeting from July 1st through 4th
World's chemistry innovators gather in Palermo
PALERMO (JUNE 29, 2009) – New solutions to abundantly get hydrogen simply
by solar irradiation of water; new "hybrid" materials for LED lights finally affordable; new catalysts
for chemical manufacturing processes entirely clean.
These are just a few
exemples of the innovations made possible by scientific advances that will
be discussed by some 300 scientists from 45 Countries gathering this week
in Palermo for the upcoming 10th FIGIPAS meeting in inorganic chemistry
jointly organized by Italy' Cnr and Palermo's University. This
international meeting offers an amazingly rich variety of spot news,
features and background for media who cover science, medicine, health,
food, energy, environment and business. Modern chemistry may be the most
multi-disciplinary science, and this meeting promises to include
newsworthy topics, including
-
Exciting advances in role of chemistry in molecular medicine
-
Health threats from chromium and other heavy metals
-
How nanochemistry is eventually realizing the promises
of nanotechnology
-
The next generation of solar cells and other renewable sources of energy.
-
New findings on the respiratory chains of metal respiring organisms
-
The role of computation and chirality in chemistry
-
The latest progress in finding new active catalysts for Zero Emission
chemical syntheses
-
New "hybrid" materials for new generation displays and sensors
The
Organizing Committe
staff will be available to arrange telephone interviews. For media registration and meeting information email the
