Even a little cooling helps after cardiac arrest
As many as 400,000 people in North America suffer sudden cardiac arrest. Only 30% have their hearts restarted, and only about 6% survive to hospital discharge. Once the heart is restarted, a significant factor for subsequent death is brain injury.   view more (2006-05-18)

Cooling milk using sun energy
The company Tarre of Navarre, Basque Country, in collaboration with the Public University of Navarre has built a prototype for cooling milk. This cooling and maintenance system takes the energy directly from a photovoltaic system and so there is no need to use batteries. The prototype integrates... view more (2002-12-03)

Current technology for brain cooling unlikely to help trauma patients
Attempts to cool the brain to reduce injury from stroke and other head trauma may face a significant obstacle: current cooling devices can't penetrate very deeply into the brain.   view more (2006-08-07)

Skin cooling associated with increased risk of discoloration after laser treatment
A cooling technique intended to protect the skin may actually increase the risk of discoloration in dark-skinned patients undergoing laser treatments for mole-like skin lesions.   view more (2007-09-18)

Inside the Ozone Layer
A new atmospheric model is able to quantify man-made versus naturally occurring damage to the stratosphere with an eye toward repairing the diminishing ozone layer that is located within the stratosphere.   view more (2006-02-24)

UT Southwestern investigating hypothermic technique in treating pediatric head injuries
UT Southwestern Medical Center has been selected to take part in an $11.5 million multicenter clinical trial that is examining the effectiveness of induced hypothermia as a therapy for brain swelling in children who have suffered severe traumatic brain injuries.   view more (2007-10-03)

Better access to cool caps improves outcomes, lowers cost of treating asphyxia in newborns
When newborns suffering from a form of asphyxia at birth have better access to head cooling devices, fewer will face a lifetime of debilitating and costly health complications, according to researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).   view more (2008-01-08)

'Mint' pain killer takes leaf out of ancient medical texts
A new synthetic treatment inspired by ancient Greek and Chinese remedies could offer pain relief to millions of patients with arthritis and nerve damage, a new University of Edinburgh study suggests.   view more (2006-08-22)

Bon MOT: Innovative atom trap catches highly magnetic atoms
A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland has succeeded in cooling atoms of a rare-earth element, erbium, to within two millionths of a degree of absolute zero using a novel trapping and laser cooling technique.   view more (2008-04-03)

NIST micro sensor and micro fridge make cool pair
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have combined two tiny but powerful NIST inventions on a single microchip, a cryogenic sensor and a microrefrigerator. The combination offers the possibility of cheaper, simpler and faster precision analysis of materials such... view more (2008-04-16)

3D Circuits - Changing The Shape Of Things To Come
A 3-D framework of copper interconnection patterns is constructed and then plated in a cheap metal foil. The framework is then placed in the mould cavity of an injection moulding machine and molten thermoplastic resin is forced into the cavity against the plated pattern. After cooling, the foil is... view more (1999-09-29)

Fresh zing to food and drink with the minty flavour
It`s 35 times fresher than mint yet tastes of absolutely nothing GET ready to chill out with the world`s coolest drinks. The secret? A natural food additive with 35 times the cooling power of menthol-but no minty flavour whatsoever.         It could bring a... view more (2001-12-12)

Simulations predict savings from more airtight buildings
U.S. commercial building owners could save substantially on annual heating and cooling energy costs by improving airtightness of their buildings' envelope, according to a recent National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) study.   view more (2005-10-10)

Cooling with tiny crystals
Refrigeration equipment prevents sweaty brows in the summer and also keeps our food fresh for longer periods. With CryoSol®, a new and easily pumpable liquid ice suspension, space requirements for cold storage are much lower than with conventional coolants.   view more (2004-08-27)

Centre for logistics software and Auto-ID
Was the cooling chain interrupted at some point during transportation? Such information will in future be stored on RFID tags, a clear improvement on inflexible bar codes. Researchers are working hand in hand with industry to gather more data on appropriate applications.   view more (2004-10-04)
