The University of Deusto (Bilbao) is developing a system for the remote monitoring of vehicles. view more (2005-01-24)
A carbon-neutral way to power your home
A super-efficient system that has the potential to power, heat and cool homes across the UK is being developed at Newcastle University. view more (2008-12-01)
Iron induces death in tumor cells
Rapid growth of cancer cells and their frequent divisions have their price: Cancer cells need considerably more energy than healthy cells. view more (2009-03-11)
UF makes gene therapy advance in severe genetic disorder
A dog born with a deadly disease that prevents the body from using stored sugar has survived 20 months and is still healthy after receiving gene therapy at the University of Florida - putting scientists a step closer to finding a cure for the disorder in children. view more (2009-05-29)
New hydrogen-storage method discovered
Scientists at the Carnegie Institution have found for the first time that high pressure can be used to make a unique hydrogen-storage material. view more (2009-11-23)
Using 'minutiae' to match fingerprints can be accurate
A study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) shows that computerized systems that match fingerprints using interoperable minutiae templates-mathematical representations of a fingerprint image-can be highly accurate as an alternative to the full fingerprint image. view more (2006-03-21)
Oregano-flavoured crisps healthier
With its antioxidant properties, addition of oregano to frying oil makes crisps healthier. 13 October 2003: Cottonseed oil containing oregano oxidizes less during frying, leaving crisps with fewer free radicals and greater stability through storage periods. The recent study is published in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Diets... view more... (2003-10-13)
Shrinking magnetic storage media down to the nanoscale
In the world of electronic and magnetic devices, the goal is to get smaller. view more (2006-03-14)
Fish Blood Preserves Sperm
In the Arctic and Antarctic seas the water gets cold to minus 1.9 C in winter, but somehow some fish live there. These cold-blooded creatures survive in the icy water because the blood in their veins contains antifreeze proteins and glycoproteins. High levels of the antifreeze proteins are found in the blood serum, they are present in cell... view more... (2002-06-04)
Philips patents TU Eindhoven's energy return system
An increasing number of private individuals supply their excess energy, from external energy sources (windmills and solar cells), to the electricity grid and only take energy from the grid when necessary. view more (2008-01-25)
Molecular memory a game-changer
A team at Rice University has determined that a strip of graphite only 10 atoms thick can serve as the basic element in a new type of memory, making massive amounts of storage available for computers, handheld media players, cell phones and cameras. view more (2008-11-24)
Neutron researchers discover widely sought property in magnetic semiconductor
Researchers working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated for the first time the existence of a key magnetic-as opposed to electronic-property of specially built semiconductor devices. view more (2008-11-26)
Yam bean a nearly forgotten crop
The Yam bean originated where the Andes meet the Amazon and is locally grown in South and Central America, South Asia, East Asia and the Pacific. view more (2007-09-17)
Why do women store fat differently from men?
It's a paradox that has flummoxed women for generations - their apparent ability to store fat more efficiently than men, despite eating proportionally fewer calories. view more (2009-03-02)
Pacific Northwest forests could store more carbon, help address greenhouse issues
The forests of the Pacific Northwest hold significant potential to increase carbon storage and help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in coming years, a recent study concludes, if they are managed primarily for that purpose through timber harvest reductions and increased rotation ages. view more (2009-07-06)
Scientists to assess risk to human health from use of farm slurry and manure
University of Southampton scientists are working with European and UK Government agencies to reduce the risk of potentially fatal food bugs, such as E. coli O517, entering the food and water chains. Human and animal waste is a valuable source of fertiliser particularly on organic farms. In the UK we recycle one million tonnes of human sewage... view more... (2001-07-09)
Unexpectedly long-range effects in advanced magnetic devices
A tiny grid pattern has led materials scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Institute of Solid State Physics in Russia to an unexpected finding-the surprisingly strong and long-range effects of certain electromagnetic nanostructures used in data storage. view more (2009-07-02)
SRI to present hydrogen fuel safety research results at 2009 International Conference
SRI International, an independent nonprofit research and development organization, announced today it will present new research identifying methods for designing safer structures in the future for hydrogen fueled vehicles, at the upcoming International Conference on Hydrogen Safety, Sept. 16 - 18, in Ajaccio-Corsica, France. view more (2009-09-14)
New storage system design brings hydrogen cars closer to reality
Researchers have developed a critical part of a hydrogen storage system for cars that makes it possible to fill up a vehicle's fuel tank within five minutes with enough hydrogen to drive 300 miles. view more (2009-04-03)
Nano-competence for hard thin films
The good old magnetic disk drive is holding up well in the face of competition from optical storage media like CD-ROM and DVD and semiconductor flash and smart cards. Major advances are still being made, with typical storage densities doubling roughly every year and a half. When IBM launched the first magnetic disk drive on the market in 1956, it... view more...
