New test could help consumers avoid surprise headaches from chocolate, wine
Researchers in California are reporting development of a fast, inexpensive test suitable for home use that could help millions of people avoid those 'out of the blue' headaches that may follow consumption of certain red wines, cheese, chocolate, and other aged or fermented foods. view more (2007-10-02)
The turbidity of wine has an influence on the aroma of the ferment, but not on the accumulation of biogenic amines
The turbidity of red wine during its ageing in oak casks has an influence on the accumulation of volatile compounds and, thereby, on the wine's aroma, but not on the accumulation of biogenic amines. view more (2006-11-28)
Better measurement procedures mean safer workplaces
Isocyanates and amines are chemicals used in the production of polyurethane (PUR). PUR is one of the most common plastics, used in products like hard and soft foam (insulation, cushions, mattresses, sponges, etc.), glue, paint, and elastomers. Isocyanates can cause respiratory disorders, and today they are one of the most common causes of... view more... (2004-09-08)
Aquatic creatures mix ocean water
Understanding mixing in the ocean is of fundamental importance to modeling climate change or predicting the effects of an El Niño on our weather. Modern ocean models primarily incorporate the effects of winds and tides. However, they do not generally take into account the mixing generated by swimming animals. view more (2009-11-23)
Analysis of Lake Washington microbes shows the power of metagenomic approaches
Today's powerful sequencing machines can rapidly read the genomes of entire communities of microbes, but the challenge is to extract meaningful information from the jumbled reams of data. view more (2008-08-18)

Fat overrides effects of vitamin C
Fats in our stomach may reduce the protective effects of antioxidants such as vitamin C. Scientists at the University of Glasgow found that in the presence of lipid the ability of antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (the active component of vitamin C), to protect against the generation of potential cancer-forming compounds in the stomach is less... view more...

Button and Buttonhole in a Single Molecule
Whether in upholstery, insulation, shoe-soles, varnishes, or even artificial heart valves, polyurethanes (PUR) are found in nearly all areas of life as incredibly versatile all-around plastics. However, some are surprised to find that the method of making polyurethanes has hardly changed since their discovery over 60 years ago, when they were... view more... (1999-09-29)
Early detection of Alzheimer's disease a possibility
Research investigating concentrations of magnetite, a magnetic form of iron, in Alzheimer's disease tissue has produced preliminary results that suggest the possibility of developing a technique to detect Alzheimer's disease before clinical symptoms appear. The research*, published in Biology Letters, an online supplement to the Royal Society's... view more... (2003-04-07)
A biological technique could save up to 2 million euros at sewage treatment plants
A new method for treating the smell of rotten eggs emitted by sewage plants, developed in conjunction by a researcher at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona's Engineering School (ETSE) and a researcher from the University of California, could lead to worldwide savings of two million euros a year. The researchers have discovered a simple... view more... (2003-07-15)
Earlier global warming produced a whole new form of life
Researchers from McGill University, along with colleagues from the California Institute of Technology, the Curie Institute in Paris, Princeton University and other institutions, have unearthed crystalline magnetic fossils of a previously unknown species of microorganism that lived at the boundary of the Paleocene and Eocene epochs, some 55 million... view more...

Researchers find possible environmental causes for Alzheimer's, diabetes
A new study by researchers at Rhode Island Hospital have found a substantial link between increased levels of nitrates in our environment and food with increased deaths from diseases, including Alzheimer's, diabetes mellitus and Parkinson's. view more (2009-07-06)
Scientists find way to clean up the drugs market
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made a breakthrough by using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a reaction medium for the preparation of molecules of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. view more (2004-09-13)
Satellite sniffs out chemical traces of atmospheric pollution
The recent Hague talks on global warming focused attention on the so-called greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. But these gases are only a part of the story. Mankind generates a wide variety of emissions that are changing the chemistry and composition of our planet~s atmosphere. Satellite monitoring is helping scientists to understand those... view more... (2000-12-15)

Researchers link jellyfish, other small sea creatures to large-scale ocean mixing
The ocean's smallest swimming animals, such as jellyfish, can have a huge impact on large-scale ocean mixing, researchers have discovered. view more (2009-07-30)
New research suggests early diet may play key role in protecting against childhood leukaemia
Incidence rates of childhood leukaemia are significantly lower in Asia than in Western countries and delegates at a conference in London (Thursday 9 September) will consider evidence that this may be due to differences in diet pattern. view more (2004-09-07)
Atmospheric chemistry - air quality and climate
Air quality has improved dramatically over the past 50 years. Professor Mike Pilling, Head of Physical Chemistry at the University of Leeds, will reveal the latest about air quality research at the Festival of Science today. view more (2004-09-06)
Iowa State scientists demonstrate first use of nanotechnology to enter plant cells
A team of Iowa State University plant scientists and materials chemists have successfully used nanotechnology to penetrate plant cell walls and simultaneously deliver a gene and a chemical that triggers its expression with controlled precision. view more (2007-05-17)
