A direct gaze enhances face perception
Gaze direction is significant for the processing of visual information from the human face. Researchers in an Academy of Finland funded research project have discovered that the visual system of the brain processes another person's face more efficiently when the person's gaze is straight ahead than when the gaze is averted. view more (2008-08-14)
Airborne mold spores increase kids' risk for multiple allergies
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers say exposure to a certain group of fungal spores—abundant in the air that we breathe every day—can make young children more susceptible to developing multiple allergies later in life. view more (2006-06-14)
Grape expectations for healthier wine
A new technique that uses ozone to preserve grapes could help prevent allergies and boost healthy compounds at the same time, reports Jennifer Rohn in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-02-12)
New microchip technology performs 1,000 chemical reactions at once
Flasks, beakers and hot plates may soon be a thing of the past in chemistry labs. Instead of handling a few experiments on a bench top, scientists may simply pop a microchip into a computer and instantly run thousands of chemical reactions, with results - literally shrinking the lab down to the size of a thumbnail. view more (2009-08-04)
World`s most powerful laser used as atom smasher - The Physics Congress 2002
Physicists at Glasgow University are using the world`s most powerful laser beam as an atom smasher to simulate conditions inside the Sun and to produce radioisotopes vital in medicine. Professor Ken Ledingham from the Department of Physics at Glasgow and his colleagues from Imperial College and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) are using... view more... (2002-03-26)
New optic fibre sensors capable of detecting organic compounds
This new research is presented in the Navarre chemist, Mar'a Asunci'³n Luquin's PhD, "Synthesis and characterisation of de vapochromic substances for their implementation in optic fibre environmental sensors". The PhD has been presented in Public University of Navarre. view more (2004-10-26)
Mechanoluminescence event yields novel emissions, reactions
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a new study of mechanoluminescence revealed extensive atomic and molecular spectral emission not previously seen in a mechanoluminescence event. view more (2007-05-09)
South African Geraniums Effective in Treatment of Adults with Acute Bronchitis
A recent clinical trial in Europe showed that EPs® 7630, a remedy made from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides-a species of geranium unique to South Africa, is an effective alternative treatment of acute bronchitis. view more (2005-12-14)
MIT-led teams unravel heparin death mystery
An international team of researchers led by MIT has explained how contaminated batches of the blood-thinner heparin were able to slip past traditional safety screens and kill dozens of patients recently in the United States and Germany. view more (2008-04-24)
Study finds doxycycline effective against filariasis in Southeast Asia
Doxycycline alone is more effective against the most common form of filariasis in Southeast Asia than the standard treatment, with significantly fewer side effects, according to a new study published in the May 1 issue of Clinical Infectious Diseases and currently available online. view more (2008-04-10)
Heavy Metal Rocks Plant Cells too
Heavy metals can trigger widely varying stress reactions in plants. A team at the Campus Vienna Biocenter was now able to provide evidence for this in a research funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). The results, now awaiting publication, are an important basis to comprehend how plants cope with an increase in heavy metal concentrations in... view more... (2004-09-22)
Top animal welfare prize for kinder skin allergy test
Three scientists have been awarded Europe’s premier laboratory animal welfare prize for 2000. They jointly developed a test for the potential of chemicals to cause allergic skin reactions, or skin sensitisation. This test uses fewer animals and causes less suffering than previous tests. The SmithKline Beecham Laboratory Animal Welfare Prize... view more... (2000-11-16)
New tests for nut allergens
Scientists in Florida have developed sensitive new tests to detect potentially fatal nut traces in food. Their study, published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, originally set out to find ways of processing nuts to make them safe for allergy sufferers. The techniques they developed during the analysis included the discovery... view more... (2004-06-15)
Allergy battle could be won in five years, says scientist
Researchers, working with colleagues at St George's, University of London, are developing drugs designed to stop allergens from entering the body, so rendering them harmless. view more (2006-07-13)
Betaine relieves dry mouth symptoms
In the present study, betaine protected oral mucosa and skin against irritation caused by foaming substances in toothpastes, and relieved subjective symptoms of dry mouth. The feeling of dry mouth was eased after the use of betaine containing, detergent-free toothpaste in half of the subjects who had persistent subjective symptoms of dry mouth.... view more...

New nanochemistry technique encases single molecules in microdroplets
Inventing a useful new tool for creating chemical reactions between single molecules, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have employed microfluidics-the manipulation of fluids at the microscopic scale-to make microdroplets that contain single molecules of interest. view more (2009-09-23)
Improved reaction data heat up the biofuels harvest
High food prices, concern over dwindling supplies of fossil fuels and the desire for clean, renewable energy have led many to seek ways to make ethanol out of cellulosic sources such as wood, hay and switchgrass. view more (2008-08-07)
Improved immune diagnostics
With many forms of illness, such as allergies, asthma, rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis, the success of therapy can be shown by the absence or presence of certain cells and the proteins they produce. Today, this can be ascertained in a number of different ways. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Aerosol Research... view more... (2000-01-27)
Nanoreactors for Reaction Cascades
Living cells are highly complex synthetic machines: Numerous multistep reactions run simultaneously side by side and with unbelievable efficiency and specificity. For these mainly enzymatic reactions to work so well collectively, nature makes use of a variety of concepts. view more (2007-08-21)
New theory from University of Leicester scientists underpins drug development and food processing
Scientists at the University of Leicester have shown that the textbook explanation of how enzymes work is wrong - at least for some enzymes. view more (2004-10-05)
