Landfill mining reduces environmental impact of growing waste
Retrieving material for composting from open dumps across the developing world could reduce the environmental impact of growing mountains of waste, according to researchers in India, writing today in the Inderscience publication, International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management.   view more (2007-09-19)

New research shows why metal alloys degrade
Metal alloys can fail unexpectedly in a wide range of applications---from jet engines to satellites to cell phones---and new research from the University of Michigan helps to explain why.   view more (2008-09-25)

Intelligent materials
The technology centre GAIKER of the Basque Country is working on a project whose aim is to develop intelligent polymers and discover their opportunities. Similarly, it will study the possibilities to introduce those polymers in the existing structures in order to promote their applicability and to create new enterprise initiatives. GAIKER... view more... (2002-10-02)

The colourful demise of a Sun-like star
A brand new image taken with Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 shows the planetary nebula NGC 2440 - the chaotic structure of the demise of a star.   view more (2007-02-15)

Down to the Bone
Although modern medical technology is already well advanced, implants made of synthetic materials can cause problems: they may give rise to rejection reactions or loosen over time because the contact between the surrounding tissue and the implanted material is not good enough. A remarkable procedure developed by a team of chemists working with... view more... (1999-02-09)

U-M research: New plastic is strong as steel, transparent
By mimicking a brick-and-mortar molecular structure found in seashells, University of Michigan researchers created a composite plastic that's as strong as steel but lighter and transparent.   view more (2007-10-05)

New Cassini image shows "A" ring contains more debris than once thought
Views of Saturn's stunning ring system from above by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft now orbiting the planet indicate the prominent A ring contains more debris than once thought, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study.   view more (2006-04-07)

Carbon nanotubes to be replaced by MoSIx nanowires in high-tech devices says new study
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future. Applications cited for carbon nanotubes range from super fast computers and ultra small electronics through to materials that are lightweight yet super strong and tougher than diamond.   view more (2007-11-26)

Researchers at The University of Manchester facilitate the development of advanced magnetic materials
Even without noticing this, everyday we all make use of many magnetic gadgets and devices, both at home and at work. There are dozens of magnets working in our cars and household appliances and billions of tiny magnets keep records on computer hard disks. These are just a few examples of the importance of magnetic materials in supporting our... view more... (2003-12-17)

The microbial hydrocarbon diet
Bioremediation of industrial sites and petrochemical spillages often involves finding microbes that can gorge themselves on the toxic chemicals. This leaves behind a non-toxic residue or mineralized material.   view more (2009-06-12)

Bright future for picture-tube recycling
Millions of old television and computer picture tubes are thrown away each year, representing a major waste of resources and a toxic strain on our environment. With research funding from Tekes, a Finnish company has come up with an efficient system to recover nearly all the useful material from cathode ray tubes (CRT's), while safely disposing of... view more...
