National Instruments - this
corporation offers software for scientists who want to automate laboratory
tasks.
IBM Patent Server Home Page -
allow you to do a quick and precise search for a patent using inventor name,
assignee, claims, or full text searches.
Chemical Separations
- provides a series of multimedia outlines of many of the more important
chemical separation and extraction techniques in use today. Techniques covered
include: distillation, phase extraction, and nearly every form of
chromatography.
SpeedSite
English/Metric Conversion - need to convert your cubic inches to fluid
ounces? Or your centimeters into miles? Visit this site, type in your values
and SpeedSite's handy CGIs will do all your calculations for you.
Surface Science
Techniques and Acronyms - a tables-based list of surface science techniques
and commonly used abbreviations. This site describes the basics of each of the
techniques and includes links to sites for further reading. The site is quite
comprehensive; it gives a brief history of almost 100 techniques from Auger
Electron Spectroscopy (AES) to X-ray Standing Wave (XSW), before entering into
the science.
Chromatography - features access to an
interactive forum covering the areas of gas chromatography (GC), high pressure
liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE).
Spectroscopy
- offers an excellent tutorial review of theoretical spectroscopy. Beginning
with an overview of the quantum physical interpretation of the molecule, the
tutorial goes on to develop a theoretical basis for the application of the wave
function to the phenomena detected and encountered by spectroscopy at the
molecular level.
The Constants and
Equations Page - this easy-to-use site represents an ongoing project to
list as many scientific constants and equations as possible.
