Tyson Chandler put up with enough nonsense from the Knicks. (USATSI) On Friday, Mavericks center Tyson Chandler fired back at allegations from the Knicks over the summer that the veteran was a chemistry problem for the Knicks last year in an interview with ESPN Dallas, an allegation not unlike saying the Hindenburg had a problem with cupholders. Chandler was traded back to Dallas this summer for Jose Calderon and filler, in part to remove the salary from the remainder of his contract he signed with New York in 2011. And the fire, it did rise. "I did nothing but try to help the culture there the three years I was there," Chandler said Friday. "You can say I didn't live up to whatever or you didn't like the way I played or anything. But to ever question who I am and the type of leader I am in the locker room, I don't even know where that came from. "I honestly don't know where that came from. I don't know if Phil put that out there or who put that out there, but to me, that was the ultimate shock. And you don't have to say that to get rid … Continue reading →

LOS ANGELES In the new big-screen adaption of the best-selling Jonathan Topper novel This Is Where I Leave You, Tina Fey and Jason Bateman portray siblings with tight ties that bind. Just minutes after sitting down with the actors recently as they promoted the sprawling ensemble dramedy, which opened Friday, it was clear that Fey, 44, and Bateman, 45, had developed a real-life rapport, as well. A sampling: Bateman: If its chemistry, I guess thats what they call it but, we just shes a nice lady. Fey (trying to annoy Bateman by immediately repeating his words in a low mumble): A nice lady Bateman: She knows how to Fey: I know how to ... Bateman: remember her lines Fey: remember her lines. Bateman: And shes really easy on the eyes. Fey: I wasnt going to say that! Thank you. Go here to see the original: Sibling chemistry a natural fit … Continue reading →

UC Irvine chemists have scored a scientific first: capturing moving images of a single molecule as it vibrates, or "breathes," and shifts from one quantum state to another. The groundbreaking achievement, led by Ara Apkarian, professor of chemistry, and Eric Potma, associate professor of chemistry, opens a window into the strange realm of quantum mechanics - where nanoscopic bits of matter seemingly defy the logic of classical physics. This could lead to a wide variety of important applications, including lightning-fast quantum computers and uncrackable encryption of private messages. It also moves researchers a step closer to viewing the molecular world in action - being able to see the making and breaking of bonds, which controls biological processes such as enzymatic reactions and cellular dynamics. The August issue of Nature Photonics features this breakthrough as its cover story. "Our work is the first to capture the motion of one molecule in real time," Apkarian said. While still images of single molecules have been possible since the 1980s, recording a molecule's extremely rapid movements had proven elusive. In addition to using precisely tuned, ultrafast lasers and microscopes, the researchers had to equip the molecule with a tiny antenna consisting of two gold … Continue reading →

At the River Dell Board of Education meeting on Sept. 8, Superintendent Patrick Fletcher and Chemistry Teacher Carrie Jacobus highlighted the chemistry program at River Dell High School. The meeting spotlight was a way to encourage participation and raise awareness to students. According to the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Coalition, students with scientific education are more likely to get better degrees and better jobs. According to the coalition, STEM occupations will grow 1.7 times faster than non-STEM occupations from 2008 to 2018. This past spring, two teams from the high school won the New Jersey Chemistry Olympics and Fletcher said he wanted to highlight the "outstanding achievements" that the students made at the competition. Fletcher described the Chemistry Olympics as an event better than the British Open or The Barclays referring to the premiere golfing events. Two teams from RDHS, comprised of about 30 students, competed in approximately 10 events in the Chemistry Olympics. Both teams placed first and second in two categories in the academic competition. "This is highly unusual to have two teams of one school come so close," said Jacobus. This is the fourth year we came in first place. It is kind of … Continue reading →
