The 25th anniversary of National Chemistry Week is being celebrated October 21–27, 2012 with the theme Nanotechnology: The Smallest BIG Idea in Science. Work from UT-Austin in the Center For Nano- and Molecular Science and Technology (CNM) was highlighted on the cover of this month's Journal of Chemical Education. Dr. Dean Campbell, a Bradley University chemistry professor who joined the CNM as a visiting professor for the 2011-2012 academic year, co-authored the article “New Nanotech from an Ancient Material: Chemistry Demonstrations Involving Carbon-Based Soot” with Mark Andrews and CNM Director Prof. Keith Stevenson.
