Pitt researchers see electron waves in motion for first time
Both the ancient art of stained glass and the cutting-edge field of plasmonics rely on the oscillation of electrons in nanosized metal particles. When light shines on such particles, it excites the electromagnetic fields on the metal's surface, known as "surface plasmons," and causes its... view more (2005-06-10)

MIT physicists create new form of matter
MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity.   view more (2005-06-22)

Glaucoma procedure now available at Mayo Clinic aims to prevent further eye damage
For the first time in Florida, patients with glaucoma have a new treatment option known as the Trabectome.   view more (2008-06-26)

Watching tumors melt away
All standard methods of removing tumors have side effects. Surgical excision under anesthetic leaves a wound - usually extending into adjacent healthy tissue. It also raises the risk of cancerous cells spreading via blood and lymph vessels. The X- or gamma-rays used in radiation therapy have to... view more (2003-12-01)

Measuring the smallest particles
When someone says: "Everything flows - nothing stays the same", he seldomly refers to toothpaste, ointment or paint. However, manufacturers are immensely interested in the way in which such products "flow" in daily use. For example, wall paint should be thin in consistency, easy to work with and... view more (2001-06-25)

Hybrid structures combine strengths of carbon nanotubes and nanowires
A team of researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has created hybrid structures that combine the best properties of carbon nanotubes and metal nanowires.   view more (2007-01-09)

Polar clouds take a 'bite' out of meteoric iron
Polar clouds are known to play a major role in the destruction of Earth's protective ozone layer, creating the springtime 'ozone hole' above Antarctica. Now, scientists have found that polar clouds also play a significant role in removing meteoric iron from Earth's atmosphere. Polar clouds have... view more (2004-04-14)

THE MYSTERY OF HUYGENS CLOCKS EXPLAINED - Proceedings of the Royal Society Series A Vol. 458, No. 2019 Cover Date 8 March 2002
Christiaan Huygens` observations in 1665 of anti-phase synchronisation in two pendulum clocks were the subject of some of the earliest deliberations of The Royal Society but have remained a scientific puzzle. Huygens` acute observations are often quoted but have never been adequately explained -... view more (2002-02-13)

Preserving time on film
No one would dispute that the cultural assets of humankind should be preserved for future generations. This applies equally to old books as the traditional form of stored knowledge as to prints, drawings and paintings. Gaining access to valuable, sensitive originals can be very difficult even for a... view more (2003-02-20)

A buffet for early human relatives
University of Utah scientists improved a method of testing fossil teeth, and showed that early human relatives varied their diets with the seasons 1.8 million years ago, eating leaves and fruit when available in addition to seeds, roots, tubers and perhaps grazing animals.   view more (2006-11-10)

£15M To Take New Ideas From Drawing Board To Balance Sheet
New medical equipment and software, 3D laser conservation of historical artefacts and faster forensic DNA profiling are amongst the scientific breakthroughs benefiting from £15m new funding announced today by Science and Innovation Minister, Lord Sainsbury. 16 bidders have been awarded cash... view more (2004-01-16)

Scientists 'Weigh' Tiny Galaxy Halfway Across Universe
A tiny galaxy, nearly halfway across the universe, the smallest in size and mass known to exist at that distance, has been identified by an international team of scientists led by two from the University of California, Santa Barbara.   view more (2007-10-04)

Rebuilding faces
Surgeons are using a revolutionary implant to help rebuild the faces of children injured in accidents or born with serious defects.   view more (2005-01-14)

Steel tools built using "salami tactics"
Gazing through a car showroom window, have you ever asked yourself how they manage to make such a variety of different models? One thing's for sure: The days of "any color as long as it's black" and one model for all have gone forever. The new buzzword not only in the car industry is mass... view more (2002-11-27)

Nanoscientists Provide New Picture of Semiconductor Material
For almost a decade, scientists thought they understood the surface structure of cubic gallium nitride, a promising new crystalline semiconductor.   view more (2005-10-05)

UK researchers develop novel treatment for fibroids
UK researchers have developed a novel method of treating uterine fibroids that allows women to be treated under local anaesthetic as outpatients. Their technique, which uses a laser guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is reported today (Friday 27 September) in Europe's leading reproductive... view more (2002-09-24)

Innovative surgery corrects vision in kids with neurological disorders
Children with cerebral palsy and other neurological problems often have extremely poor eyesight.   view more (2006-10-11)

Photonic Crystals in 3-D - The Physics Congress 2003
Telecoms systems contain an awkward mixture of optics and electronics. A purely optical system would permit the very high data rates needed by the Internet, but at the moment the switching and routing, as well as the "last mile" to the customer, still depend on slower electronic... view more (2003-03-17)

Laser probe of a brain pigment's anatomy may offer insight into Parkinson's disease
In a finding that may offer clues about Parkinson's disease, a team led by Duke University researchers used a sophisticated laser system to gain evidence that a dark brown pigment that accumulates in people's brains consists of layers of two other pigments commonly found in hair.   view more (2006-09-26)

New quantum key system combines speed, distance
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have built a prototype high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system, based on a new detector system that achieves dramatically lower noise levels than similar systems.   view more (2007-06-11)

Growing glowing nanowires to light up the nanoworld
The nano world is getting brighter. Nanowires made of semiconductor materials are being used to make prototype lasers and light-emitting diodes with emission apertures roughly 100 nm in diameter-about 50 times narrower than conventional counterparts.   view more (2006-05-26)

NASA Assists Search for Woodpecker Thought to be Extinct
Unlike its more famous cartoon cousin Woody the Woodpecker, the ivory-billed woodpecker is thought to be extinct, or so most experts have believed for over half a century.   view more (2006-08-07)

Ready to go: mobile terahertz devices
Terahertz waves, which until now have barely found their way out of the laboratory, could soon be in use as a versatile tool. Researchers have mobilized the transmitting and receiving devices so that they can be used anywhere with ease.   view more (2008-04-09)

Researchers bend light through waveguides in colloidal crystals
Researchers at the University of Illinois are the first to achieve optical waveguiding of near-infrared light through features embedded in self-assembled, three-dimensional photonic crystals.   view more (2008-01-08)

Listening to the sound of skin cancer
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia can now detect the spread of skin cancer cells through the blood by literally listening to their sound.   view more (2006-10-17)
