University of Iowa scientists use blood-brain barrier as therapy delivery system
The blood brain barrier is generally considered an obstacle to delivering therapies from the bloodstream to the brain. However, University of Iowa researchers have discovered a way to turn the blood vessels surrounding brain cells into a production and delivery system for getting therapeutic molecules directly into brain cells. view more (2009-09-22)
Computers explain why pears may become brown during commercial storage
Internal browning of pears stored under low oxygen conditions is related to restricted gas exchange inside the fruit, according to a study published March 7th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology. view more (2008-03-10)
'Memory molecule' stores memories in neocortex
The "memory storage molecule" - PKMzeta - maintains long-term memories in the neocortex and its presence is continually required in order for the memory to endure, according to a finding by researchers at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel and SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York. view more (2007-08-17)
Tiny 'cages' could trap carbon dioxide and help stop climate change
A natural physical process has been identified that could play a key role in secure sub-seabed storage of carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fuelled power stations. view more (2006-03-17)
MIT researchers fired up about battery alternative
Just about everything that runs on batteries - flashlights, cell phones, electric cars, missile-guidance systems - would be improved with a better energy supply. But traditional batteries haven't progressed far beyond the basic design developed by Alessandro Volta in the 19th century. view more (2006-02-08)
Economical and cleaner cars with lean-burn catalytic converter
Dutch researcher Karen Scholz has taken a careful look at the properties of a new type of catalytic converter found in cars. view more (2007-07-13)
Spinning into the future of data storage
Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have improved their understanding of the inner workings of our computers and mp3 players, thanks to an exciting new field of research called 'organic spintronics'. view more (2008-11-24)
Well-informed citizens consider CO2 storage to be acceptable
When energy is generated from fossil fuels, the greenhouse gases produced contribute to climate change. By capturing the CO2 produced and storing it underground, a major objection to the use of fossil fuels can be overcome. view more (2006-04-19)
Using an activated-carbon filtering pitcher significantly reduces chemicals in tap water
A study conducted by Université Laval researchers concludes that using an activated-carbon filtering pitcher is the most effective way to reduce disinfection by-products in tap water. view more (2006-11-03)
New Materials offer Solution to Energy Storage
A scientist from the University of St. Andrews will describe the results of more than fifteen years of research, to be published in the journal 'Nature' on 2 August, which could change the way we power battery driven devices in the future. Rechargeable lithium batteries have been a major technological success in recent years. They are critical to... view more... (2001-07-31)
Microwaving kills health benefits
Broccoli loses as much as 97% of some antioxidants when microwaved. 13 October 2003: Certain methods of preparation and cooking can cause vegetables to lose their cancer-fighting compounds according to new evidence published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. A study investigating various cooking methods of broccoli concluded... view more... (2003-10-13)
Kentucky Geological Survey involved in global climate change research
Researchers at the Kentucky Geological Survey are studying options to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is produced by the burning of coal, gasoline, and natural gas and has been linked to global warming. view more (2005-07-15)
Findings show insulin - not genes - linked to obesity
Researchers have uncovered new evidence suggesting factors other than genes could cause obesity, finding that genetically identical cells store widely differing amounts of fat depending on subtle variations in how cells process insulin. view more (2009-04-15)
Hydrogen protects nuclear fuel in final storage
When Sweden's spent nuclear fuel is to be permanently stored, it will be protected by three different barriers. Even if all three barriers are damaged, the nuclear fuel will not dissolve into the groundwater, according to a new doctoral dissertation from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. view more (2009-04-27)
A new magnetic phenomenon may improve RAM memories and the storage capacity of hard drives
The application of 'displaced vortex states'-small magnetic circular movements of just a few thousandths of a millimetre-may accelerate the arrival of a new type of magnetic memory (MRAM) that does not disappear when a computer is switched off. view more (2006-03-03)
Magnetic nanoparticles assembled into long chains
Chains of 1 million magnetic nanoparticles have been assembled and disassembled in a solution of suspended particles in a controlled way. view more (2005-10-21)
Ethylene suggested for hydrogen storage
Ethylene, a ho-hum material that is the building block of the most common plastic, might have an exciting future in storing hydrogen, the hoped-for transportation fuel of the future. view more (2006-12-11)
Brown Engineers Build a Better Battery - With Plastic
Brown University engineers have created a new battery that uses plastic, not metal, to conduct electrical current. The hybrid device marries the power of a capacitor with the storage capacity of a battery. view more (2006-09-14)
Feather fibers fluff up hydrogen storage capacity
Scientists in Delaware say they have developed a new hydrogen storage method - carbonized chicken feather fibers - that can hold vast amounts of hydrogen, a promising but difficult to corral fuel source, and do it at a far lower cost than other hydrogen storage systems under consideration. view more (2009-06-24)
Underpinning the technological revolution - ISIS marks 20 years of science research
Today (Thursday 16 December 2004) ISIS, the world-leading science facility at the CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, is celebrating 20 years of scientific research since the first neutrons were produced on 16 December 1984. Neutrons are an extremely versatile probe used by researchers across all the scientific disciplines to... view more... (2004-12-16)
