New Superlattice Structure Enables High Performance Infrared Imaging
Scientists at the Center for Quantum Devices (CQD) in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University have demonstrated for the first time a high-performance infrared imager, based on a Type II superlattice, which looks at wavelengths 20 times longer than visible light. view more (2008-05-28)
Durham University leads UK research project into cheaper solar energy
A national team of scientists led by experts at Durham University are embarking on one of the UK's largest ever research projects into photovoltaic (PV) solar energy. view more (2008-01-15)
Researchers make nanosheets that mimic protein formation
University of Michigan researchers have discovered a way to make nanocrystals in a fluid assemble into free-floating sheets the same way some protein structures form in living organisms. view more (2006-10-13)
Greenhouse gas burial
Deep coal seams that are not commercially viable for coal production could be used for permanent underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by human activities, thus avoiding atmospheric release. view more (2007-06-26)
Distant Galaxies Are In The Red
According to scientists from the Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, red is the colour favoured by distant galaxies. But the reason for this is still not clear. Working with astronomers in California and Canada, the Cambridge team used a special infrared-sensitive camera to carry out a... view more (2001-04-03)
Sandia researchers seek ways to make lithium-ion batteries work longer, safer
As part of the Department of Energy-funded FreedomCAR program, Sandia National Laboratories' Power Sources Technology Group is researching ways to make lithium-ion batteries work longer and safer. view more (2006-01-17)
'Thin-layer' solar cells may bring cheaper 'green' power
Scientists are researching new ways of harnessing the sun's rays which could eventually make it cheaper for people to use solar energy to power their homes. view more (2007-08-24)
New sensor system improves detection of lead, heavy metals
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a new rapid, portable and inexpensive detection system that identifies personal exposures to toxic lead and other dangerous heavy metals. view more (2008-02-13)
Argonne researchers confirm lead as cause of Beethoven's illness
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have found massive amounts of lead in bone fragments belonging to 19th Century composer Ludwig von Beethoven, confirming the cause of his years of chronic debilitating illness. view more (2005-12-08)
Scientists use llama droppings to help combat water pollution
Scientists from Newcastle University are using llama droppings to help combat environmental problems caused by polluted water seeping from abandoned silver and tin mines in the Bolivian Andes. The project is being spearheaded by Paul Younger, Professor of Hydrogeochemical Engineering at Newcastle... view more (2002-01-30)
