Chemistry Professor Bassam Shakhashiri will give his 43rd Christmas "Science is Fun" presentation Dec. 1 and 2 on the UWMadison campus. The event will be shown on Wisconsin Public Television later in December.

As always, the show will focus on astounding demonstrations from the world of chemistry and beyond. "Chemistry is the science of how atoms bond together, and almost anything interesting in science has a chemical aspect," says Shakhashiri.

Shakhashiri, who is also president of the American Chemical Society, the world's largest scientific society, says his Christmas lectures follow the tradition of British scientist Michael Faraday, who made epic discoveries in electrochemistry and electromagnetism, and began giving Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in 1827.

"Every time we use a battery or an electric motor, we are benefiting from Faraday's insights," says Shakhashiri. "In my own small way, I am honored to continue Faraday's tradition."

"Science can be hard," Shakhashiri adds, "but it can also be entertaining and fun, and that's where the Christmas lectures will concentrate. The idea is to engage kids of all ages in the beauty, thrill and challenge of scientific inquiry."

All shows are now sold out, but will be recorded for telecast on Wisconsin Public Television Friday, Dec. 21 at 4:30 p.m., Tuesday, Dec. 25 at 1 p.m., and Wednesday, Dec. 26 at 9:30 a.m. It will also be shown on the Wisconsin Channel Sunday, Dec. 16 at 1 p.m.

Putting the USD Toreros 13-18 record aside from last year, head coach Bill Grier was encouraged by the way his team finished. Thats why he goes into the 2012-13 season, his sixth at Alcala Park, excited about this teams prospects.

I feel good about this team because we finally have a group of guys who do the things we ask them to do as players, and they do things the right way not only on the floor but off the floor, Grier said. Im proud of the way they handle themselves. Were focusing on basketball, and they have a very genuine chemistry with each other. Its not something Ive tried to create. Its something that has come very natural.

Grier said this is the most talented group hes had since his first team, the 2007-08 team that upset Connecticut in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

I think its the best group since that first group, Grier said. Last year, we were a pretty young group. Were still pretty young. But this year, instead of just one senior, we have three. We still only have five upperclassmen, so were still a predominately young team.

Grier said his team spent most of the first half last season learning the nuances of his offense and picking up the defensive schemes.

They picked it all up about mid-way through the season, and thats when we started playing better basketball, especially from mid-January on, Grier said of a team that won four of its final six games, including a first-round victory over Pepperdine in the West Coast Conference Tournament.

Grier welcomes back three seniors forwards Ken Rancifer and Chris Manresa and guard Cameron Miles. Griers only loss from last years roster is senior guard Darian Norris, who started 15 of 31 games.

Everybody wants to talk about Chris Anderson and Johnny Dee, Grier said of the Toreros two talented sophomore guards. Theyre arguably two of our best players. But for us to have the type of success I think were capable of, our seniors, particularly Rancifer and Manresa, have to be consistent this year. Theyre both going to have to be, night in and night out, consistent for us.

Grier gets back all five starters, four key reserves, three players who redshirted and three new players who are expected to contribute.

Weve added three pieces that should help us a lot this year, Grier said.

Affordable fuel from grasses, trees and plant waste that packs enough of a punch to power a plane? Scientists said Wednesday this can be done using chemistry to boost basic fermentation processes.

A team at the University of California in Berkeley said it had developed a method to add carbon atoms to biofuels obtained from fermentation -- currently not potent enough to replace gasoline, jet fuel or diesel.

Using the same 100-year-old biological process employed in ethanol production, the team manufactured alcohol and acetone by fermenting sugars obtainable from anything from grasses, trees, corn, sugar beets, sorghum or even plant waste, according to a study in the journal Nature.

The alcohol and acetone is then put through a catalytic chemical process to boost the number of carbon atoms from two per molecule, as in traditional ethanol, to between seven and 15, co-author Harvey Blanch told AFP.

This is similar to the carbon mass of current jet and diesel fuels.

Using similar raw materials, "you get a better product than ethanol for the same price," said Blanch.

"With the same amount of sugar, we make a fuel that is much more effective than ethanol for the same price of the sugar."

Writing in Nature, the team said it had developed "a high-yield method for transforming readily accessible fermentation products from a variety of carbohydrates into precursors for petrol, diesel and jet fuels.

"The integration of extractive fermentation with chemical catalysis is thus a novel and potentially enabling route for the economical conversion of biomass into liquid transportation fuels."

Blanch said ethanol, the most commonly used biofuel, is not very efficient as it cannot be transported in oil pipelines and so has to be moved by truck, and does not mix well with diesel.

BOSTON (CBS) The Boston Celtics have come up with plenty of analogies for their still-forming team chemistry this season, but Kevin Garnett should get the award for the best one yet.

Following the Celtics 100-94 overtime win over the Washington Wizards, Garnett was asked about the development of the teams chemistry. He likened it to certain on-demand options where you cant fast forward through the commercials.

You cant speed chemistry up. I think the more you practice, the more you get familiar with each other, theres no hitting the fast-forward button here, Garnett said following his 20 point, 13 rebound performance. Youve got Comcast, right? You know theres some shows you cant fast-forward through, you just gotta let it go so you can watch the silly-ass commercials and be pissed. Thats what this is.

Kevin Garnett On Team Chemistry:

Garnett quickly realized that Comcast carries the Celtics games, but that didnt stop him from having fun.

Did I just take a shot at Comcast? [Expletive] it, I did. So what? Im more of a DirecTV guy anyway, he joked. This is what this is. Im not helping myself, right? [Expletive] it. Anyway, thats what this is. I just totally messed that up.

As for the team chemistry, plain and simple, its going to take some time.

Its one of those things where its just gotta take its course and you cant speed anything up, finished Garnett. Next question.

The Celtics improved to 2-2 on the season with Wednesday nights win. They next host the Philadelphia 76ers at the Garden on Friday night.

Limiting the quantity of catalysts substances that trigger a chemical reaction used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals is important, and research from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, has now demonstrated that small quantities of copper work well in this respect.

"This is an important finding, not just academically but also for industry," says chemist Per-Fredrik Larsson.

Catalysis is an incredibly valuable tool in the field of chemistry, with the Haber-Bosch process being one of the most important catalytic processes in the world. It is used to manufacture fertilizer, and calculations show that without it the world's population would be just half of what it is today.

Precious metals are often used as catalysts in organic chemistry as they enable the production of many organic molecules with applications in areas such as pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. As recently as 2010 Richard F. Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their work on palladium catalysis.

"A problem with precious metals like palladium is that they are both expensive and harmful to the environment," says Per-Fredrik Larsson at the Department of Chemistry and Molecular Biology.

Recent years have seen researchers evaluating several different non-precious metals primarily iron and copper as cheap and environmentally friendly alternatives to precious metals.

"Iron catalysts have proven to be a competitive alternative to precious metals for a number of reactions," says Per-Fredrik Larsson. "An in-depth understanding of how these reactions work is incredibly important if we are to take this further. The results from our studies with iron led to several important insights into just how complex the chemistry can be."

Larsson's research group works not only with experimental methods but also with calculation models to understand how the chemistry works.
