Federal spending database
This website, created by OMB Watch, is a free, searchable database of federal government spending. Search or browse FedSpending.org for contractor name or grant recipient and breakdown data by state or congressional district.
The data was taken directly from the FedSpending.org database. With over 14 trillion in federal spending, this more open and accessible tool for citizens to find out where federal money goes and who gets it is long overdue.

ChemSpider
ChemSpider is a chemistry search engine built with the intention of aggregating and indexing chemical structures and their associated information into a single searchable repository and making it available to everybody, at no charge. ChemSpider is a value-added offering since many properties have been added to each of the chemical structures within the database structure identifiers such as SMILES, InChI, IUPAC and Index Names as well as many physicochemical properties.

Most stickiest
An inexpensive adhesive material can bond together almost any two materials according to researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Ganapathiraman Ramanath and colleagues investigate self-assembled molecular nanolayers (MNLs) composed of short organic chains and terminated with desired functional groups. They point out that MNLs are attractive for modifying surfaces in lubricant applications, nanolithography, corrosion protection, and in the crystallization of biominerals. Their particular aim is to create stronger bonds between copper components and a silicon dioxide substrate for improved chip technology. Normally, attempting to anneal such an adhesive at 400 Celsius would lead to its break down, but Ramanath and his colleagues found that because the nanoglue was tightly sandwiched between the copper and silica vaporization was not possible and the bond between the layers simply tightened with rising temperature.
Inexpensive "Nanoglue" Can Bond Nearly Anything Together
