John I. Brauman, influential chemist, leader, and editor, died on 23 August at the age of 86. John made foundational contributions to the understanding of gas-phase ions, their structures, and their reactivity. He was the first to demonstrate that the order of acidity and basicity for many simple organic compounds reverses when moving from a solution to the gas phase. This discovery challenged existing assumptions about chemical behavior in different environments.

The Power of Microdroplet Photochemistry
This study presents compelling evidence demonstrating that irradiation of the air-solution interface, whether achieved through the spraying of microdroplets into the air or by bubbling air through a solution, significantly accelerates the rate of photochemical reactions by orders of magnitude compared to identical reaction conditions in bulk solutions.

Analytical science has a reputation problem. It goes back to the 1960’s when many top universities dropped analytical chemistry as a subdiscipline, with Harvard and Yale leading the way. Back then, it seemed that analytical chemists were just using existing machines to make some type of measurement – very much tied up with titration. It has not been restored, and the problem persists. Broadly speaking, the problem is that analytical chemists tend to talk only to analytical chemists.

Opinión OPINIÓN: Las recientes directrices de los CDC sobre la calidad del aire interior no toman en cuenta los beneficios de la humedad. Pero la investigación demuestra que puede matar virus y ayudar a frustrar infecciones. Read in English Con el regreso de los estudiantes a las aulas este otoño y de los trabajadores las oficinas tras las vacaciones de verano, necesitaremos un aire interior sano para mantenernos a salvo.

As students go back to school this fall and workers return to offices after summer vacations, we will need healthy indoor air to keep us all safe. In May, the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reiterated its advice to ventilate indoor air to reduce the spread of Covid-19, this time recommending a firm target of five exchanges of air per hour. This advice seems to be so clearly common sense that you wouldn’t dare to question it.
