Wearing a jet pack, a former TV stunt man has entered the record books by flying 1,500 feet across a gorge on the Arkansas River. Eric Scott fired up his 135-pound pack Monday and crossed the Royal Gorge in 21 seconds at an altitude of 1,053 feet, the Rocky Mountain News reported Tuesday. Scott set a world record for both height and distance with the 800 horsepower state-of-the-art pack designed by Denver-based Jet P.I., The Denver Post reported. This is the biggest adrenaline kick I've ever...
By Shelley, Suzanne ENVIRONMENTAL Tetra-amido macrocyclic ligands (TAMLs) are environmentally friendly catalysts with a host of pollution- reduction and clean-up applications, and are a prime example of green chemistry. Terry Collins, professor of chemistry and director of the Center for Green Science at Carnegie Mellon Univ., created the catalysts and now believes that small-molecule catalysts have the potential to be even more effective than previously proven. The oxidation catalysts are...
ONE of the men cleared of trying to blow up transatlantic flights bought chemicals from a shop in West Wales, it has emerged. Bomb-maker Assad Sarwar, 28, was found not guilty of a plotting to blow up planes but guilty of conspiracy tomurder. Sarwar, of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire, had previously admitted planning small-scale attacks with ring leader Abdulla Ahmed Ali and Tanvir Hussain, both 27. Under a false name he purchased hydrogen peroxide from supplier Health Leads UK in St...
By Tom Mooney One man is in serious condition with chemical burns after a cyanide accident at Attleboro metals processor Stern-Leach. ATTLEBORO -- A routine mixing of a cyanide solution yesterday morning at a jewelry fabrication plant caused a chemical "explosion" that seriously injured one worker, sent two dozen others to area hospitals as a precaution, and drove Massachusetts and federal environmental officials to test the air for contaminants, the police said. The incident occurred...

Oxygen Biotherapeutics, Inc. (OTCBB:OXBO) today announced that the company has developed a gel-like form of Oxycyte(R) that it intends to investigate as a topical application for open wounds, abrasions and burns. Oxycyte is the Company's perfluorocarbon (PFC) therapeutic oxygen carrier. The innovation is based on technologies in-licensed earlier this year from Virginia Commonwealth University. In combination with a hydrogen peroxide pouch, researchers believe the compound could have...
For years Hollywood has envisioned futuristic jets packs as small as fire extinguishers, but Glenn Martin's new jet pack device is a piano-sized contraption weighing over 250 pounds that people get into instead of strapping on.On Tuesday, thousands looked on as Martin's 16-year-old son fastened himself to the jet pack prototype. The contraption roared like a motorcycle, and as Harrison Martin lifted three feet off the ground, the engine became so loud that children covered their ears.Harrison...
By Terri Judd Three men accused of plotting to kill thousands of people in suicide attacks on transatlantic jets have admitted conspiring to cause explosions. Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 27, from Walthamstow, east London; Assad Sarwar, 28, from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and Tanvir Hussain, 27, from Leyton, east London, are among eight men who have all denied two charges of conspiracy to murder between 1 January and 11 August 2006. They pleaded guilty yesterday to plotting to cause explosions and...
By Loraine, Gregory A ABSTRACT: In this paper, components of an industrial wastewater that cause operational problems during biological treatment were oxidized by UV light and hydrogen peroxide (UV/H^sub 2^O^sub 2^). Preoxidation of wastewater was shown to remove polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and ethoxylate surfactant and increase overall biodegradability. Several UV intensities and hydrogen peroxide concentrations were tested to find optimal conditions for the complete depolymerization of PVP...
