Your February issue of ACCN is online and in the mail!

In the February 2012 issue of the Canadian Chemical News, we venture into the deep with Nautilus Minerals, a Vancouver-based company which aims to become the first to mine the ocean floor for copper and gold. We also bring you a conversation with Howard Alper, chair of the Science, Technology and Innovation Council, about the changing landscape of chemical innovation in Canada. Finally, contributing editor Tim Lougheed tells the story of Avalon Rare Metals. The company is hoping to strike it rich in the Canadian Arctic by mining a deposit of rare earth elements, which are becoming increasingly valuable due to their use in advanced technologies.
