Yale researchers find environmental toxins disruptive to hearing in mammals
Yale School of Medicine researchers have new data showing chloride ions are critical to hearing in mammals, which builds on previous research showing a chemical used to keep barnacles off boats might disrupt the balance of these ions in ear cells.   view more (2006-04-12)

The man from Southampton-he says yes!
23 October 1998 How do farmers know when their tomatoes are perfect and just right for picking? Southampton researchers have harnessed the same technology used to print T-shirts to develop a simple, robust device that can be used in the field to indicate when fruit is ripe. John Atkinson, head of the University of Southampton's Thick Film Unit... view more... (1998-11-17)

X marks the spot: Ions coldly go through NIST trap junction
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new ion trap that enables ions to go through an intersection while keeping their cool.   view more (2009-04-09)

Uncharged organic molecule can bind negatively charged ions
Indiana University Bloomington chemists have designed an organic molecule that binds negatively charged ions, a feat they hope will lead to the development of a whole new molecular toolbox for biologists, chemists and medical researchers who want to remove chlorine, fluorine and other negatively charged ions from their solutions.   view more (2008-02-27)

Quicker from Crude Oil to Silk Stockings
Specific Oxidation of Hydrocarbons Adipic acid is an important building block for a series of chemical products, for example synthetic material and fibers like Nylon - the material from which women's hosiery is made. On a large-scale, adipic acid, a hydrocarbon chain of six carbon atoms with an acid functionality at each end, is usually generated... view more... (2000-06-29)

Technique creates metal memory and could lead to vanishing dents
Crumpled kitchen foil that lays flat for reuse. Bent bumpers that straighten overnight. Dents in car doors that disappear when heated with a hairdryer. These and other physical feats may become possible with a technique to make memory metals discovered by researchers at the University of Illinois.   view more (2007-03-30)

Fragranced Candles Pack A Killer Punch
In recent years the consumer market for candles has grown dramatically, as candles of all shapes, sizes, colours and fragrances have been used increasingly in homes and restaurants to create atmosphere and enhance mood. Now two researchers at the University of Southampton have taken the potential uses of fragranced candles one step further, by... view more... (2004-06-17)

Suprising discovery may lead to new understanding of water quality
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered new ways that ions interact with mineral surfaces in water, opening a door to new knowledge on how contaminants travel in the environment. The insight, leads to a better understanding of the factors that determine water quality.   view more (2006-07-12)

New ion trap may lead to large quantum computers
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have designed and built a novel electromagnetic trap for ions that could be easily mass produced to potentially make quantum computers large enough for practical use.   view more (2006-07-07)

Carnegie Mellon scientists create PNA molecule with potential to build nanodevices
For the first time, a team of investigators at Carnegie Mellon University has shown that the binding of metal ions can mediate the formation of peptide nucleic acid (PNA) duplexes from single strands of PNA that are only partly complementary.   view more (2005-10-04)

CERN launches new cancer therapy initiative
The first meeting of a new European network for research in cancer therapy will be held at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on 12 and 13 February 2002. ENLIGHT* - the European Network for Research in Light Ion Therapy - aims to coordinate the development of a variety of projects at European facilities for "light ion... view more... (2002-02-08)

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)

The Largest Congress Worldwide on Ion Therapy in Heidelberg

New laser technique may help find supernova
One single atom of a certain isotope of hafnium found on Earth would prove that a supernova once exploded near our solar system.   view more (2009-08-12)

High in sodium: Highly charged tungsten ions may diagnose fusion energy reactors
Just as health-food manufacturers work on developing the best possible sodium substitutes for low-salt diets, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have acquired new knowledge on a promising sodium alternative of their own.   view more (2009-09-10)

Sensor of plastic can be produced in a printing press
Electrochemical transistors made of plastic open myriad possibilities. Since both electrons and ions are active, they can function as a bridge between traditional electronics and biological systems. A new dissertation from Linköping University in Sweden describes a simple and inexpensive humidity sensor that can be manufactured in a printing... view more... (2005-02-08)

Diabetics to benefit as clinical chemistry gets under the skin
Water makes up more than 70 percent of our bodies, and our skin works like an oily film providing an effective barrier to keep water and the other charged substances inside us. But skin is not an impermeable material, and charged substances from inside the body can be made to cross the skin barrier by applying an electric field. Iontophoresis is a... view more...

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)

NIST develops novel ion trap for sensing force and light
Miniature devices for trapping ions (electrically charged atoms) are common components in atomic clocks and quantum computing research. Now, a novel ion trap geometry demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could usher in a new generation of applications because the device holds promise as a stylus for sensing... view more...
