  The promise of hydrogen fusion as a safe, environmentally friendly, and virtually unlimited source of energy has motivated scientists and engineers for decades. For the general public, the pace of fusion research and development may at times appear to be slow. But for those on the inside, who understand both the technological challenges involved and the transformative impact that fusion can bring to human society in terms of the security of the long-term world energy supply, the extended investment is well worth it.
  Failure is not an option.

Scientists use nuclear magnetic resonance to identify olive oil blends

New research confirms the growing relevance of nuclear magnetic resonance technologies for the olive oil industry, according to the Olive Oil Times, based in Newport, R.I.

The latest Italian study, published in the scientific journal Foods, hints at the new opportunities emerging from the identification of the molecular footprint of extra virgin olive oil blends, which could be used to not only certify their contents but also to determine the transformational processes applied to the product.

There’s more: One of the study’s authors, Francesco Paolo Fanizzi, a chemistry professor at the Apulian University of Salento in Italy, is also among the authors of a separate study, which was just published in the journal Food Chemistry, that focuses on the Apulian Coratina cultivar and an extraction process that combines ultrasound and thermal techniques, analyzed by means of nuclear magnetic resonance within a metabolomic approach.
