Defense group aims for take-off

Article Abstract:

QinetiQ in Farnborough is part of a rapid transformation that is converting the former defense labs into a unique, research-led defense company that is making money. Although research will remain central to the company's identity, it is already clear that other activities like military contracting and consulting will constitute the largest part of its business and QinetiQ has also built a strong presence in the US by procuring several established contractors to the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security since 2004.

All systems go

Article Abstract:

Industrial chemists have found an unexpected tool to aid their search for better materials to speed up chemical reactions, with latest addition coming from the drug industry, which is known as combinatorial chemistry and this technique allows chemists to automatically synthesize and screen large numbers of compounds at once, helping to track down the ones that would prove useful. The key to success is ensuring that small samples of a material would be reproduced accurately when production is scaled up.
