The JMP Paper Helicopter Experiment
Your challenge is to make eight paper helicopters and note your experimental choices and decisions.
Figure out how to increase flight time without jeopardising the helicopter’s stability and flying capacity. There are many factors that affect flight time. To properly uncover how factors jointly affect the response, use design of experiments - a practical and ubiquitous approach for exploring multi-factor opportunity spaces.
Are you up to the challenge?

iScienceSearch - The chemical intelligent Internet search
iScienceSearch is targeted for the specific needs of a chemist. It covers only sources that are relevant for scientists, with a focus on chemistry. It searches websites and databases in real-time, thus eliminating the need for an index that needs to be maintained. That means, as soon as new/updated data are available in a given website, or database, you are able to find them.
The start page provides a sophisticated chemical editor, full structure, substructure and similarity searches are supported. You also can search by identifiers like CAS Registry numbers, chemical names or free text. Irrespective if you start your search by structure or text such as a chemical name, we search in the background, related search terms that automatically get added to the search. For example, you do a text search for ‘maslinic acid’, we automatically extend the search by including the chemical structure, the CAS registry number, the IUPAC name and other well-known synonyms giving you results in sources that contain only the synonym such as ‘crategolic acid’. This feature of a chemical intelligent query extension is unique.
iScienceSearch searches about 100 websites and databases. Classical search engines, such as Google, index websites and not databases, such missing many chemical data. Chemistry specific searches such as substructure or structure similarity searches are not possible in Google.
iScienceSearch results are always grouped by website. That means, if you find more than one hit in a given source for your search term, you only get one result link. The landing page of a result is equivalent of executing the search in the native source. The result page can easily be filtered, sorted and grouped by various criteria.
A second tab will open the “Lab Equipment Search”. For instance, if you search for “electronic pipettes”, you will get a list of companies that provide such instruments. The advantage is that you get only one hit per company, even if the search term appears in many pages of the company. This means you see also suppliers that would never become visible in Google because they would appear not on the first pages.
iScienceSearch is free and no registration is needed. The iScienceSearch homepage is http://isciencesearch.com/iss.
A mobile friendly version is available using the link https://www.ilmac.ch/sciencesearch.aspx.
If you are interested to make your website searchable via iScienceSearch, please contact us.

ChemCatChem and ChemElectroChem celebrate birthdays This year ChemCatChem celebrates a decade of publishing in catalysis and it's ChemElectroChem's 5th Anniversary. ChemPubSoc Europe led the way with the establishment of these two journals; it created an over-arching catalysis journal and ignited a revival in electrochemistry. To commemorate the occasion, the journals have published first issues packed with research and review articles—many of which are authored by Board members. These are free to read in 2019. Read about the efforts of both journals to support society publishing, women in chemistry, and more.

ChemPubSoc Europe’s Feedback on Plan S In 2018, some European funding organizations formed cOAlition S and released "Plan S", followed by an implementation directive. Like many societies, the 16 European chemical societies comprising ChemPubSoc Europe have submitted feedback to cOAlition S regarding the implementation guidance. Wiley and Projekt DEAL, a consortium of more than 700 German libraries and research institutes, have established a landmark agreement for Germany to pilot new publishing models. ChemPubSoc Europe is proud to be part of this innovative and transformative action toward open science. For more information, visit: bit.ly/DEALAuthor
