More than impact factor
?Effectiveness of Journal Ranking Schemes as a Tool for Locating Information? is the title of a new study, published by researchers at Northwestern University who have developed a new way to rank scientific journals. They concluded: ?Our model enables us to quantify both the typical impact and the range of impacts of papers published in a journal. Finally, we propose a journal-ranking scheme that maximizes the efficiency of locating high impact research.?

Molecular gas cylinders
Supramolecular compounds and porous materials that can trap gases within have been around for years, but a team of University of Calgary researchers have come up with what they say might be a viable approach to capturing, storing and transporting gases more safely and efficiently than ever before. "This is a proof of concept that represents an entirely new way of storing gas, not just improving on a method that already exists," explains George Shimizu, "We have come up with a material that mechanically traps gas at high densities without having to use high pressures, which require special storage tanks and generate safety concerns." The material is based on barium organotrisulfonate containing open channels that can be closed off quickly by heating to seal any trapped gas within. These materials might be used to store hydrogen safely for powering fuel cells or in carbon dioxide sequestration efforts aimed at curbing climate change.
