Founded in 1967 by chemist Rudolf Hauschka and aesthetician Elisabeth Sigmund, the beauty company's lab, WALA Heilmittel is in Erfelden, Germany. WALA stands for Warmth-Ash-Light-Ash, representing the rhythmical, water-based extraction process used after plants are harvested by hand at sunrise?when the oils are most concentrated?yielding bath oils, skin treatments and cosmetics without alcohol or preservatives.

Professor Richard Smalley, a Nobel-Prizewinning chemist at Rice University, estimated that by 2010, 90% of all Ph.Ds in physical science and engineering may be living in Asia.

General Leslie Groves, heading the Manhattan Project to build the atom bomb, heard about the substance from a Du Pont friend when his scientists were looking for a material for gaskets that could resist the bomb's corrosive gas, uranium hexafluoride. Groves had Du Pont make Teflon for the bomb, but it wasn...
