Improved equation display for Chemistry Central articles using MathJax
Articles published in Chemistry Central journals will now benefit from improved equation display by implementing MathJax, an open source JavaScript display engine for mathematics.
In the past, equations have been rendered as graphics, which suffer from pixelation when scaling the page. However, equations rendered using MathJax are scaled at the same zoom rate as the text, and can also be copied and pasted into other applications.
More information about MathJax can be found on the BioMed Central blog, and to see how equations are now rendered using MathJax, take a look at the following Chemistry Central articles:
Molecular dynamics simulations and in silico peptide ligand screening of the Elk-1 ETS domain
Abrar Hussain, Peter E Shaw, Jonathan D Hirst
Journal of Cheminformatics 2011, 3:49 (1 November 2011)
Experimental Study of Cement - Sandstone/Shale - Brine - CO2 Interactions
Susan A Carroll, Walt W McNab, Sharon C Torres
Geochemical Transactions 2011, 12:9 (11 November 2011)

Will this be used for a 'related papers' functionality, that use similar (or identical) equations?
Cool way to search literature around the same mathematics!

Hi Egon,
We are currently looking into this.
Right now the math in our articles is stored as MathML and we're working towards storing it as LaTeX also. Once we embed the LaTeX within the XML we'll be looking to work with our colleagues at Springer on LaTeX Search
http://latexsearch.com/
LaTeXSearch allows users to locate and view the following:
There's over 5m code snippets in LaTeX Search already!
