Scientists discover pentagonal ice
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered a five-sided ice chain structure that could be used to modify future weather patterns. view more (2009-04-07)
It's raining pentagons
This week's Nature Materials (09 March 2009) reveals how an international team of scientists led by researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at UCL have discovered a novel one dimensional ice chain structure built from pentagons that may prove to be a step toward the development of new materials which can be used to seed clouds... view more...

Historians help compile record of 50,000 lives
Scholars at the University of Essex have contributed 75 biographies to the new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, a 60-volume publication charting more than 50,000 lives. Researchers from six departments and centres at the University were among more than 12,500 contributors to the British Academy-funded project. view more (2005-02-01)
Pitt, NETL researchers report molecular chain reaction thought to be impossible
People said it couldn't be done, but researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Pittsburgh demonstrated a molecular chain reaction on a metal surface, a nanoscale process with sizable potential in areas from nanotechnology to developing information storage... view more...

Old-fashioned friendliness trumps incentives among supply chain partners
Cordiality and mutually beneficial arrangements can be more important than hard-negotiated deals when it comes to cementing strong working relationships among supply chain partners. view more (2008-11-24)
UCLA researchers outline the structure of the largest non-virus particle ever crystallized
Researchers at UCLA, the California NanoSystems Institute, the David Geffen School of Medicine, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have modeled the structure of the largest cellular structure ever crystallized, suggesting ways to engineer the particles for drug delivery. view more (2007-11-27)
Anticancer drugs might be of benefit to sickle-cell patients
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder caused by a genetic mutation that leads to the generation of a mutant form of the beta-globin chain of hemoglobin (Hb). view more (2007-12-07)
Focus on opticians shows chain store pricing policies can save independents
Big chain stores setting their prices on a national rather than local basis can help independent retailers survive, according to new research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). view more (2006-11-08)
For fats, longer may not be better
Researchers have uncovered why some dietary fats, specifically long-chain fats, such as oleic acid (found in olive oil), are more prone to induce inflammation. view more (2009-01-09)
Emory scientists discover unique binding method for essential cellular protein ubiquitin
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have uncovered new information about the molecular pathway used by ubiquitin, an essential protein that helps regulate the amounts and locations of other proteins within cells. view more (2006-03-24)
Antimalarial substances found in New Caledonian sponges
Living organisms are an enormous reservoir of natural compounds potentially active against viruses, bacteria or cancerous cells, that could lead to the development of new medicines. Out of about 145 000 natural substances described today, 10% come from marine organisms. Among the few such organisms studied for their chemical composition, sponges... view more... (2004-07-13)
Joint research: Probing the mysteries of a surprisingly tough hydrogel
Some 46 million people suffer from arthritis in the United States alone. The worst cases require painful surgeries to drill holes in and reinforce joints. view more (2008-03-12)
Snails snack on poison metals
SOILS tainted with heavy metals from industrial pollution and sewage sludge may poison organisms that live in the soil far more readily than thought. The finding raises fears that unexpectedly high levels of toxins are getting into the food chain. Contaminated soils are given hazard ratings that are based on the key assumption that organisms can... view more... (2002-12-18)
Folding Proteins on a Computer
Proteins only function when properly folded In order for enzymatic reactions to proceed correctly, the enzyme and substrate must fit together as precisely as a lock and key. The function of the enzyme and protein is determined by the structure of the latter. The chain of amino acids that makes up the protein thus has to fold in a very precise... view more... (2001-01-19)
Scientists uncover how hormones achieve their effects
New insights into the cellular signal chain through which pheromones stimulate mating in yeast have been gained by scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory [EMBL]. view more (2007-10-23)
Antibiotic resistant bacteria found in fertilizer
Vancomycin resistant enterococci (VRE) have been found in sewage sludge, a by-product of waste-water treatment frequently used as a fertilizer. view more (2009-05-29)
BIOTECHNICA 2003: At the Pulse of the Chip Lab
The clinical and industrial analytics as well as diagnostics show an increasing demand for more sensitive and more rapid detection methods using smallest sample volumes. Within the BMBF joint project "MODULAB" a „chip-based-lab" construction kit is developed in which all the necessary working steps can be performed in separate... view more... (2003-10-07)
Grains and lamb offer new sources of omega-3
CSIRO research on grains and lamb aimed at developing new dietary sources of long-chain omega-3 oils will be presented at the World Congress on Oils and Fats in Sydney this week. view more (2009-10-01)
Research measures movement of nanomaterials in simple model food chain
New research shows that while engineered nanomaterials can be transferred up the lowest levels of the food chain from single celled organisms to higher multicelled ones, the amount transferred was relatively low and there was no evidence of the nanomaterials concentrating in the higher level organisms. view more (2008-06-02)
