New efficiency record for solar cells
The efficiency improvement is achieved by the use of an ultra-thin aluminum oxide layer at the front of the cell, and it brings a breakthrough in the use of solar energy a step closer. view more (2008-05-15)
Semiconductor membrane mimics biological behavior of ion channels
A semiconductor membrane designed by researchers at the University of Illinois could offer more flexibility and better electrical performance than biological membranes. view more (2007-07-13)
MIT forges greener path to iron production
MIT engineers have demonstrated an eco-friendly way to make iron that eliminates the greenhouse gases usually associated with its production. view more (2006-09-13)
Super sensitive gas detector goes down the nanotubes
When cells are under stress, they blow off steam by releasing minute amounts of nitrogen oxides and other toxic gases. view more (2009-01-14)
New technique could dramatically lower costs of DNA sequencing
Using computer simulations, researchers at the University of Illinois have demonstrated a strategy for sequencing DNA by driving the molecule back and forth through a nanopore capacitor in a semiconductor chip. The technique could lead to a device that would read human genomes quickly and affordably. view more (2007-12-13)
Novel processing of Yttrium Aluminum Garnet promises improved raw materials for lasers
Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) is an important material used in the production of laser systems, for coating electronic devices, for tubes of cathodic rays and recently it has been considered as a suitable material for structural applications at high temperatures. view more (2005-10-19)
New aluminum-rich alloy produces hydrogen on-demand for large-scale uses
Purdue University engineers have developed a new aluminum-rich alloy that produces hydrogen by splitting water and is economically competitive with conventional fuels for transportation and power generation. view more (2008-02-20)
Warning over nitric oxide for lung injury patients
Use of nitric oxide in patients with acute lung injury does not improve survival and may cause harm, warn researchers in a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2007-03-23)
Nanopore Method Could Revolutionize Genome Sequencing
A team led by physicists at the University of California, San Diego has shown the feasibility of a fast, inexpensive technique to sequence DNA as it passes through tiny pores. The advance brings personalized, genome-based medicine closer to reality. view more (2006-04-07)
Cornell researchers clone aluminum-tolerance gene in sorghum, promising boost to crop yields in developing world
When soils are too acidic, aluminum that is locked up in clay minerals dissolves into the soil as toxic, electrically charged particles called ions, making it hard for most plants to grow. In fact, aluminum toxicity in acidic soils limits crop production in as much as half the world's arable land, mostly in developing countries in Africa, Asia and... view more... (2007-08-28)
The danger of blindness after ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmologists inject gas into the eye mainly during the surgical treatment of retinal hemorrhages or injuries. The purpose of the gas is to help press the detached retina to the wall of the eye. view more (2008-02-26)
Reducing side effects of painkillers
Cardiff University researchers have increased the understanding of why some painkillers increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. view more (2006-09-13)
Nitrous oxide from ocean microbes
A large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the oxygen poor parts of the ocean using nitrites, Dr Mark Trimmer told journalists at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Purer water made possible by Sandia advance
By substituting a single atom in a molecule widely used to purify water, researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have created a far more effective decontaminant with a shelf life superior to products currently on the market. view more (2009-07-22)
Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For example, the model shows that reducing the amount... view more...

Researchers demonstrate reversible generation of a high capacity hydrogen storage material
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River National Laboratory have created a reversible route to generate aluminum hydride, a high capacity hydrogen storage material. view more (2009-07-07)
LAUGHING GAS - A FASHIONABLE RECREATIONAL DRUG? (p 1347)
Issue 19 April 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 18 April 2003 New Zealand authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET report how laughing gas may be a popular recreational drug among young people. This could have implications for public health, as a case report in THE LANCET last year highlighted how excessive use of... view more... (2003-04-16)
Hydrogen found to transmit magnetism
A team of chemists and physicists at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford have shown that hydrogen transmits magnetism. This discovery could be the first step to a new class of magnetic materials, and opens up a new field of chemistry. The team, headed by Professor Matthew Rosseinsky of the Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool, and... view more... (2002-03-07)
