Cancer vaccine one step closer
Andreea Ioan-Facsinay from Leiden University Medical Center has attached proteins from tumour cells to antibodies. With these she treated immune cells from a mouse. These treated cells were used to make a vaccine, which was shown to be effective in animal experiments. If the follow-up research is successful, vaccines against cancer will become... view more...

Flower power
A plastic "energy flower'' that collects solar and wind energy that can then be used to power appliances in the home for free has won a Northumbria University student a top award. Paul Richardson, a third year design student, won a £1,750 Design International Attachment Award from the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts,... view more... (2002-05-24)
Facade that stores and releases heat
In the last years the cold industry has incorporated advanced technologies based on substances that in low temperatures, usually lower than 0 °C, have a phase-change. Those substances, called eutectic mixes, store and release heat when they change their state from liquid to solid. Those substances have been used to regulate temperature and... view more...

What caused westward expansion in the United States?
Western Expansion during the nineteenth century was an important determinant of geographic distribution and economic activity in the United States today. However, while explanations abound for why the migration occurred- from the low price of land to a pioneering spirit - little empirical work has been done to determine which specific market... view more...

Cholesterol-lowering Drug May Also Reduce Risk of Blood Clots
Statin drugs, commonly used to lower high cholesterol blood levels, have been shown to possibly decrease the risk for thrombotic complications of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), a disease associated with blood clotting and recurrent fetal loss. Research conducted on animal models, has shown success in using the drug fluvastatin to inhibit the... view more... (2004-11-10)
Nanoparticle technique could lead to improved semiconductors
Devices made from plastic semiconductors, like solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), could be improved based on information gained using a new nanoparticle technique developed at The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2007-08-07)
Muffling noisy central heating systems
Droning noises generated by central heating boilers can aggravate good neighborly relations. Fraunhofer scientists have developed a compact sound attenuator for boiler exhaust vents. The active silencer employs electronics to damp noise emission. During the cold season, the droning sound of the central heating is just one of an assortment of... view more... (2002-03-05)
