SRI International and Showa Denko K.K. Announce Breakthrough Performance in Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) Devices for Solid-State Lighting Applications
SRI International, an independent nonprofit research institute, and Showa Denko K.K. (SDK), a Japan-based chemical industry company in partnership with Itochu Plastics Inc. (CIPS), have achieved record-breaking results using SRI's new cavity organic light-emitting diode (COLED) technology and SDK's light-emitting polymers to produce a highly... view more... (2009-07-29)
NIST releases new standard for semiconductor industry
A wide range of optical electronic devices, from laser disk players to traffic lights, may be improved in the future thanks to a small piece of semiconductor, about the size of a button, coated with aluminum, gallium, and arsenic (AlGaAs). view more (2006-10-13)
Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell. view more (2007-05-04)
Brookhaven lab scientists stabilize platinum electrocatalysts for use in fuel cells
Platinum is the most efficient electrocatalyst for accelerating chemical reactions in fuel cells for electric vehicles. In reactions during the stop-and-go driving of an electric car, however, the platinum dissolves, which reduces its efficiency as a catalyst. This is a major impediment for vehicle-application of fuel cells. view more (2007-01-15)
Nanoelectronic transistor combined with biological machine could lead to better electronics
If manmade devices could be combined with biological machines, laptops and other electronic devices could get a boost in operating efficiency. view more (2009-08-11)
Nanotubes take flight
With products that range from carpets to kites, you'd think Rice University chemist Bob Hauge was running a department store. view more (2009-07-30)
Jefferson scientists uncover new clues to how crucial molecular gatekeepers work
One of the biggest mysteries in molecular biology is exactly how ion channels - tiny protein pores through which molecules such as calcium and potassium flow in and out of cells - operate. view more (2005-10-12)
Zinc plays important role in brain circuitry
To the multitude of substances that regulate neuronal signaling in the brain and spinal cord add a new key player: zinc. By engineering a mouse with a mutation affecting a neuronal zinc target, researchers have demonstrated a central role for zinc in modulating signaling among the neurons. view more (2006-11-27)
Giving platinum catalysts a golden boost for fuel cells
Platinum might outweigh gold in the jewelry market, but as part of an ongoing effort to produce efficient and affordable fuel cells, scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory are studying how gold atoms might enhance the value of the pricier metal. view more (2007-03-28)
Copper damages protein that defends against Alzheimer's
Copper can damage a molecule that escorts out of the brain a substance called amyloid beta that builds up in toxic quantities in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-11-07)
New Clues to How Proteins Dissolve and Crystallize
In the late 19th century the Czech scientist Franz Hofmeister observed that some salts (ionic compounds) aided the solution of proteins in egg white, some caused the proteins to destabilize and precipitate, and others ranged in activity between these poles. view more (2008-05-13)
Singapore scientists synthesize gold to shed light on cells' inner workings
Highly fluorescent gold nanoclusters for sub-cellular imaging have been synthesized by researchers at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN). view more (2009-04-16)
Nanotube formation: researchers learn to control the dimensions of metal oxide nanotubes
Moving beyond carbon nanotubes, researchers are developing insights into a remarkable class of tubular nanomaterials that can be produced in water with a high degree of control over their diameter and length. view more (2007-08-24)
Channels of cellular communication
A potential new channel of communication between different cellular compartments has been discovered by researchers at the University of Leeds. Dr Jim Deuchars` group show how the protein P2X7, which forms a channel known to mediate ion movements between cells and their external environment, may also work internally, facilitating communication... view more...

"Acid rain" and forest mass: another perspective
A few years ago the study of the effects of atmospheric deposition on forest ecosystems reached beyond the scientific sphere and the term "acid rain" was coined. view more (2005-10-14)
Altered sodium channel function linked to heart failure
The results of a study, using mice and heart muscle cells from rabbits, by researchers from Georg-August-University Göttingen, Germany, have provided a potential molecular explanation for the abnormally rapid heartbeats known as ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTs) that can cause the sudden death associated with heart failure. view more (2006-11-27)
Ice created in nanoseconds by Sandia's Z machine
Sandia's huge Z machine, which generates termperatures hottter than the sun, has turned water to ice in nanoseconds. However, don't expect anything commercial just yet: the ice is hotter than the boiling point of water. view more (2007-03-16)
Physicists trap, map tiny magnetic vortex
In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the three-dimensional structure of a tornado-like magnetic vortex no larger than a red blood cell. view more (2006-09-08)
Keen Sense Of Smell
A unique device has been designed by the Moscow scientists - specialists of the Institute of General Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, supported by funding from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. The device not only helps to discover in a few seconds the minute quantities of narcotics and explosives in the air, but to identify and even... view more... (2003-10-31)
MIT gel changes color on demand
MIT researchers have created a new structured gel that can rapidly change color in response to a variety of stimuli, including temperature, pressure, salt concentration and humidity. view more (2007-10-22)
