Catalyst Volume 20 Issue 4
This issue of Catalyst includes the following articles:
This article investigates some ideas for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere and slowing down the effects of climate change.
The article describes how new materials can be designed by studying natural materials and how they work.
The article provides an insight on BepiColombois: a spacecraft which will visit Mercury, powered by ion engines and using a slingshot manoeuvre to accelerate it.
The main focus of this article is on the VISTA telescope which detects infrared radiation and provides new views of galaxies beyond the Milky Way.
'Restored Hearing' is a business which grew out of a school science project; it provides therapy for sufferers of temporary tinnitus, a debilitating hearing condition caused by exposure to loud noises.
This article explores methods for ensuring a plentiful food supply in the future, and making high levels of production sustainable.
Memories Are Made of This?
Scientists investigate the basis of memory using lab animals; this can lead to insights into human memory, and treatments for people suffering deteriorating memory.
The Species That Changed the World
The species that have had the greatest impact on planet Earth during its billions of years of history. Who comes out on top of the 'league table of life'?

Carbon Capture
A Catalyst article explaining how carbon capture and storage can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere and may reduce the effects of climate change. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is a major contributor to climate change but can CO2 be captured and...
Mission to Mercury
A Catalyst article about BepiColombo, a spacecraft which will visit Mercury, powered by a revolutionary new rocket engine technology using ion engines and using a slingshot manoeuvre to accelerate it. The development of the spacecraft is an international project and will combine exciting scientific goals exploring...
Infra-red Astronomy
A Catalyst article describing how the VISTA telescope, which is located in Chile, works. It detects infrared radiation - electromagnetic radiation beyond the red end of the spectrum. This has two great benefits:
*The telescope can detect radiation from distant stars which are otherwise hidden behind clouds...
Hearing Trouble
This Catalyst article looks at 'Restored Hearing', a business which grew out of a school science project. It provides therapy for sufferers of temporary tinnitus, a debilitating hearing condition caused by exposure to loud noises. The article looks at how hearing loss can occur and how also explains how the...
