Feature Items: William Illsey Atkinson Expanding The Scope of Forensic Science: Infrared Microspectroscopy Proves to be a Powerful Detection Tool. (... a very readable overview and update on infrared microspectroscopy [IMS]. IMS is rapidly revolutionizing IR [infrared] spectroscopy for the analysis of both organic and inorganic samples. This technique is unique for its combination, in one instrument, of two centuries-old techniques: spectroscopy and microscopy. IMS has the potential to be used effectively in many different fields--both scholarly and applied. The area where IMS has attracted the most attention currently has been its use in criminal forensics. Other keywords and phrases -- biology, chemistry, contaminant, crime, microscope, morphology, noncriminal, visible light -- from the text of the article) Today's Chemist At Work Volume 9, Number 10 (October 2000): 44–46, 49, 51. **The complete text of the article is currently available through the Web site of Today's Chemist At Work** Steven L. Garrett and Scott Backhaus The Power of Sound. (... a very understandable overview of and update on thermoacoustic machines that work by producing or absorbing sound power in order to create heat or cooling, respectively. The authors state thermoacoustics may soon emerge as an environmentally attractive way to power hybrid electric vehicles, capture solar energy, refrigerate food, air condition buildings, liquefy industrial gases and serve in other capacities that are yet to be imagined. Other keywords and phrases -- acoustic laser, CFC, electricity, global warming, greenhouse gases, HFC, inert gases, internal combustion engine, mechanical energy, ozone depletion, refrigeration, refrigerator, Stirling engine, temperature differential, wave -- from the text of the abstract and the article) American Scientist Volume 88, Number 6 (November-December 2000): 516-525. **The complete text of the article is currently available through the Web site of American Scientist** How to find the above journals, magazines, and other publications?
