Comments about RR

Schoolsnet's review of RR says:

Reactive Reports
Audience: Key Stage 4, A-Levels and Undergraduates
This online chemistry magazine covers recent chemistry innovations, most of which are fairly advanced in nature. Although not particularly useful as a learning aid this site does have many interesting articles which might be very useful as examples or for essay writing.

   

The Scout Report for Science & Engineering:

Reactive Reports #9
http://www.reactivereports.com/9/

The latest issue of the chemistry webzine, Reactive Reports, is now available. Reactive Reports, a publication intended to "provide the chemistry community with cutting edge reports of exciting developments in the world of the chemical sciences and related fields," was reviewed in the Nov. 24 1999 Scout Report for Science and Engineering. Issue #9 includes articles on solar applications for fullerenes, meteoric fullerenes, new molecular structure base software, a compound developing contest for students, hot chemistry Websites, and more. This is a light yet informative resource for chemistry students. [HCS].

New Scientist:

Reactive Reports - A chemistry webzine that is attractively put together and takes a pride in being cutting edge. The site is run by science writer David Bradley in conjunction with Advanced Chemistry Development (ACD/Labs). Some of the featured stories at the time of writing this review (issue 9) ranged from electrodeposition of an electrochemically active fullerene film on electrodes to roles of nitric oxide in muscle relaxation, the immune response, memory, and sexual arousal. The previous issues are archived. Some of the molecular graphics can be downloaded in ChemSketch format, should you have the appropriate software to view them (a product of ACD).

The chemistry teacher Michael Tate from the US:

In the Reactive Reports I read the report on phosphorus. There are not many sites that I find such interesting topics without having to take money out of my own pocket to subscribe. The articles are just long enough to get the gist of the topic without going into so much detail that the reader may get lost. If I want to research the topic I can do that on my own.
