Days and time: MW: 5:00-6:15pm; TTh: 7:00-8:15pm Location: • Monday & Wednesday: synchronous (or asynchronous) lecture. • Tuesday & Thursday: synchronous (or independent) lab. Instructor: Patrick Charbonneau Office hour: M 4:00-5:00pm (or by appointment), via Zoom. Chef: Todd Ohle Office/lab hours: TTh 30 mins before and after lab (or by appointment), via Zoom. Teaching assistant: TBA Course Description: Gastronomy is increasingly popular, and its main practitioners are stars. But Ferran Adrià, Joan Roca, and Grant Achatz share more than fame. They use science to create gastronomic art that challenges our culinary experience. Traditional techniques used to be followed blindly; they are now deconstructed to bring them to new heights. In this course we explore the science that lies behind the new frontier in taste. Main course objectives: ● Understand some of the science involved in cooking. ● Discover the tools and technologies used by world-leading chefs for their creation. Secondary objectives : ● Develop an interest in culinary creation. ● Educate one’s sense of taste. Students will handle (and taste) food, in order to consolidate the scientific learning. ANY FOOD ALLERGY MUST BE DECLARED ON THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS. Specialized cooking supplies and material will be mailed before the start of the semester. Standard cooking supplies (cream, flour, sugar, etc) and material (see list below) should be obtained on one’s own. Standard supplies and material should be available on time for the lab session, or earlier, when specified in the lab description.

  • Pathways to Modern Chemical Physics
    Pathways to Modern Chemical Physics Bearbeitet von Salvatore Califano 1. Auflage 2012. Buch. xii, 288 S. Hardcover ISBN 978 3 642 28179 2 Format (B x L): 15,5 x 23,5 cm Gewicht: 608 g Weitere Fachgebiete > Chemie, Biowissenschaften, Agrarwissenschaften > Physikalische Chemie schnell und portofrei erhältlich bei Die Online-Fachbuchhandlung beck-shop.de ist spezialisiert auf Fachbücher, insbesondere Recht, Steuern und Wirtschaft. Im Sortiment finden Sie alle Medien (Bücher, Zeitschriften, CDs, eBooks, etc.) aller Verlage. Ergänzt wird das Programm durch Services wie Neuerscheinungsdienst oder Zusammenstellungen von Büchern zu Sonderpreisen. Der Shop führt mehr als 8 Millionen Produkte. Preface This book originates from the suggestion made by several colleagues to extract certain sections from a two-volume book that I recently published in Italian with the Bollati-Boringhieri publishing house. The sections concerned deal with recent developments in chemical physics and the intention was to implement them with additional material in order to produce a book in English, explicitly dealing with the progress of chemical physics, in particular that realized in the last two centuries. As a professor of chemical physics, I felt encouraged to fill this gap by producing a book that could offer to new generations of chemistry students a testimony of the commitments, hopes, and dreams that my generation has experienced throughout this fascinating adventure. Although chemistry has its roots in alchemy, or even earlier in the old Sumerian, Babylonian, and Egyptian cultures, chemical physics became an independent discipline only in the second half of the eighteenth century. At this time the efforts of several scientists interested in developing the basic theoretical aspects of chem- istry and their relationships with physics gave rise to the birth of this new discipline and to the creation of the first chairs and journals of chemical physics.

  • From Physical Chemistry to Chemical Physics, 1913-1941
    International Workshop on the History of Chemistry 2015 Tokyo From Physical Chemistry to Chemical Physics, 1913-1941 Jeremiah James Ludwig-Maximillian University, Munich, Germany There has never been one unique name for the intersection of chemistry and physics. Nor has it ever been defined by a single, stable set of methods. Nevertheless, it is possible and arguably rewarding to distinguish changes in the constellation of terms and techniques that have defined the intersection over the years. I will speak today about one such change, the advent and ascendancy of chemical physics in the interwar period. When the young Friedrich Wilhelm Ostwald first began to formulate his campaign for “physical chemistry” in 1877, he used the term almost interchangeably with two others, “general chemistry” and “theoretical chemistry.” According to his vision of what would soon become a new chemical discipline, physical chemistry would investigate and formulate the general principles that underlie all chemical reactions and phenomena. The primary strategy that he and his allies used to generate these principles was to formulate mathematical “laws” or “rules” generalizing the results of numerous experiments, often performed using measuring apparatus borrowed from physics. Their main fields of inquiry were thermochemistry and solution theory, and they avoided and often openly maligned speculations regarding structures or mechanisms that might underlie the macroscopic regularities embodied in their laws.1 In the first decades of the 20th-century, the modern atomic theory was firmly established, and with only a slight delay, the methods of 19th-century physical chemistry lost a considerable proportion of their audience. Theories relying upon atomistic thinking began to reshape the disciplinary intersections of chemistry and physics, and by the end of the 1930s, cutting-edge research into the general principles of chemistry looked quite different than it had at the turn of the century.

Schwartz^ Editors QC 100 ,U57 NO. 893 1995 Jhe National Institute of Standards and Technology was established in 1988 by Congress to "assist industry in the development of technology . needed to improve product quality, to modernize manufacturing processes, to ensure product reliability . and to facilitate rapid commercialization ... of products based on new scientific discoveries." NIST, originally founded as the National Bureau of Standards in 1901, works to strengthen U.S. industry's competitiveness; advance science and engineering; and improve public health, safety, and the environment. One of the agency's basic functions is to develop, maintain, and retain custody of the national standards of measurement, and provide the means and methods for comparing standards used in science, engineering, manufacturing, commerce, industry, and education with the standards adopted or recognized by the Federal Government. As an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration, NIST conducts basic and applied research in the physical sciences and engineering, and develops measurement techniques, test methods, standards, and related services. The Institute does generic and precompetitive work on new and advanced technologies. NIST's research facilities are located at Gaithersburg, MD 20899, and at Boulder, CO 80303. Major technical operating units and their principal activities are listed below.

  • Chemical Physics
    Chemical Physics Generating Solutions Chemical Physics examines the atomic and molecular nature of chemical and physical processes. It combines the theoretical approach with the molecular focus of chemistry. Chemical Physics emphasizes laboratory work and recognizes the links between many areas of Chemistry and Physics, such as the use of X-ray diraction to determine molecular structure. Students cover issues such as the study of organic, inorganic and biological chemistry and fundamental interactions at the atomic level. Students also study the use of physical techniques such as spectroscopy, X-ray, nuclear scattering and microscopy to examine the identity and structure of chemical compounds. Overall, the Chemical Physics major provides a broader background than a major in either Physics or Chemistry and opens the door to a wide variety of possible careers.
