  • Department of Chemistry
    Department of Chemistry In the 2005–2006 academic year, the Department of Chemistry continued its strong programs in undergraduate and graduate education. Currently there are 245 graduate students, 93 postdoctoral researchers, and 92 undergraduate chemistry majors. As of July 1, 2006, the Department faculty will comprise 32 full-time faculty members including 5 assistant, 4 associate, and 23 full professors, one an Institute Professor. In the fall, Professor Joseph P. Sadighi was promoted to associate professor without tenure, effective July 1, 2006; in the spring, Professor Timothy F. Jamison was promoted to associate professor with tenure, also effective July 1, 2006. In September 2005, Professor Arup K. Chakraborty took up a joint senior appointment as the Robert T. Haslam professor of chemical engineering, professor of chemistry, and professor of biological engineering. Professor Chakraborty obtained his PhD in chemical engineering at the University of Delaware. He came to MIT from the University of California at Berkeley, where he served as the Warren and Katherine Schlinger distinguished professor and chair of chemical engineering, and professor of chemistry from 2001 to 2005. Highlights The Department of Chemistry had a wonderful year. On October 2, 2005, we learned that Professor Richard R. Schrock, Frederick G. Keyes professor of chemistry, had won the 2005 Nobel Prize in chemistry for the development of a chemical reaction now used daily in the chemical industry for the efficient and more environmentally friendly production of important pharmaceuticals, fuels, synthetic fibers, and many other products. Schrock Professor Richard R. Schrock speaking at a press shared the prize with Yves Chauvin of the conference at MIT on October 5, 2005.

  • Glossary of Terms Absorption Line a Dark Line at a Particular Wavelength Superimposed Upon a Bright, Continuous Spectrum
    Glossary of terms absorption line A dark line at a particular wavelength superimposed upon a bright, continuous spectrum. Such a spectral line can be formed when electromag- netic radiation, while travelling on its way to an observer, meets a substance; if that substance can absorb energy at that particular wavelength then the observer sees an absorption line. Compare with emission line. accretion disk A disk of gas or dust orbiting a massive object such as a star, a stellar-mass black hole or an active galactic nucleus. An accretion disk plays an important role in the formation of a planetary system around a young star. An accretion disk around a supermassive black hole is thought to be the key mecha- nism powering an active galactic nucleus. active galactic nucleus (agn) A compact region at the center of a galaxy that emits vast amounts of electromagnetic radiation and fast-moving jets of particles; an agn can outshine the rest of the galaxy despite being hardly larger in volume than the Solar System. Various classes of agn exist, including quasars and Seyfert galaxies, but in each case the energy is believed to be generated as matter accretes onto a supermassive black hole. adaptive optics A technique used by large ground-based optical telescopes to remove the blurring affects caused by Earth’s atmosphere. Light from a guide star is used as a calibration source; a complicated system of software and hardware then deforms a small mirror to correct for atmospheric distortions. The mirror shape changes more quickly than the atmosphere itself fluctuates.

  • CHEMISTRY Life in an RNA World
    wint'00.html Vol. I U · C H E M I S T R Y Life in an RNA World by Donald H. Burke, Assistant Professor of Chemistry Donald Burke joined the chemistry department as an assistant professor after receiving a PhD at the University of Califormia, Berkeley, and postdoctoral studies at the University of Colorado. We are indebted to him for this summary of the ongoing efforts in his and others' laborotories in this exciting research area. The Editors RNA-based life? It is the sort of thing they might have used on Star Trek, if they could have found a way to work it into the plot. They had creatures made from gigantic crystals, swarms of microscopic robots with a collective consciousness, and creatures that floated through outer space. Vulcan biochemistry was different enough that it used copper in place of iron to carry oxygen. Why not a cellular life form devoid of proteins, that used RNA molecules to perform catalysis and maintain genetic information? For the most part, if a macromolecule is doing work in a cell here on earth, that molecule is a protein, with a few notable, but isolated exceptions. Does it have to be that way? Can RNA replace proteins or even repair metabolic damage wrought by proteins that misbehave? The question lies at the heart of some avenues of biomedical and microbial engineering, and the answer may reveal much about the earliest forms of life on earth. The last four decades have seen a steady shift in the perception of RNA's role in biology.

Early observations The science of physical cosmology as it is practiced today had its subject material defined in the years following the Shapley-Curtis debate when it was determined that the universe had a larger scale than the Milky Way galaxy. This was precipitated by observations that established the size and the dynamics of the cosmos that could be explained by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.

For permission to use, or to suggest additional materials, please contact the author at e-mail: fraknoi {at} fhda {dot} edu This guide to non-technical English-language materials is not meant to be a comprehensive or scholarly introduction to the complex topic of the role of women in astronomy. It is simply a resource for educators and students who wish to begin exploring the challenges and triumphs of women of the past and present. It’s also an opportunity to get to know the lives and work of some of the key women who have overcome prejudice and exclusion to make significant contributions to our field. We only include a representative selection of living women astronomers about whom non-technical material at the level of beginning astronomy students is easily available. Lack of inclusion in this introductory list is not meant to suggest any less importance. We also don’t include Wikipedia articles, although those are sometimes a good place for students to begin. Suggestions for additional non-technical listings are most welcome.

In August, we welcomed three new faculty members: Jing Zhao (most recently a postdoctoral fellow with Professor Moungi Bawendi at MIT), Alfredo Angeles-Boza (coming from a postdoctoral stint with Professor Justine Roth at Johns Hopkins) and Michael Hren (a joint hire with Integrative Geosciences, Michael was an Assistant Professor at the University of Tennessee). This influx is coupled with plans to hire three additional faculty members for a Fall ’13 start in conjunction with the start of a new chemistry-based Center for Green Emulsions, Micelles and Surfactants (GEMS).
