CAS to provide Registry Numbers to Wikipedia Chemistry Portal

CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society, is pleased to announce that it will contribute to the Wikipedia project. CAS will work with Wikipedia to help provide accurate CAS Registry Numbers for current substances listed in the Wikiprojects-Chemicals section of the Wikipedia Chemistry Portal that are of widespread general public interest.

The CAS Registry is the world’s most comprehensive collection of chemical substances and the CAS Registry Number is the recognized global standard for chemical substance identification.

CAS views Wikipedia as an important societal tool for the general public; and this collaboration with Wikipedia is in line with CAS’ mission as a Division of the American Chemical Society.

Nobel Prize winners' research articles freely available from IOP

IOP Publishing has made selected articles from this year's Nobel Prize winners in chemistry and physics available at no charge on the web. More details are below.
From the IOP website:
http://www.iop.org/EJ/news/-topic=1257

The 2007 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to both Albert Fert (Université Paris-Sud, Orsay, France) and Peter Grünberg (Forschungszentrum Jülich, Germany) for their independent work on Giant Magnetoresistance (GMR). The work carried out by Fert and Grünberg has revolutionised and influenced the path for modern technology, making storage devices such as MP3 players and laptops become smaller in weight and appearance yet larger in storage capacity each year.

The 2007 Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been awarded to Gerhard Ertl (Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft Berlin, Germany) for his experimental investigations into the various effects of reactions taking place on surfaces.

Fert, Grunberg and Ertl have all published work within a range of IOP journals including Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter and Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics as well as in the partner journals: Europhysics Letters (EPL) and New Journal of Physics. As a service to the community, we are pleased to make the papers relevant to their prize freely available until the end of 2007:
