Distance detection improves effect of spinal cord stimulation
The effect of spinal cord stimulation, in chronic pain treatment, can be drastically improved using continuous distance detection. The strength of the stimulation pulses then depends on the distance measured between the electrodes and the spinal cord. In this way, negative side-effects belong to the past. These side-effects arise with a varying... view more... (2003-02-20)
Wood Material Science Research Programme Homepage Opened
The Finnish-Swedish Wood Material Science Research Programme (2003-2006) has opened its homepage in the Internet. The web pages contain general information about the co-financed research programme, about its objectives and projects. There are also current information about the research programme and related events. The Wood Material Science web... view more... (2004-08-17)
Sniffing out chloride
When industrial plants are wrecked, they often leave behind a site with contaminated soil. If it was a metalworking plant, a textile production or dry-cleaning facility, a paint manufacturing or an animal waste processing plant, the soil is often contaminated with chlorine-based solvents. In order to bring the concentration back down to below the... view more... (2002-09-09)
MIT researchers build tiny batteries with viruses
MIT scientists have harnessed the construction talents of tiny viruses to build ultra-small "nanowire" structures for use in very thin lithium-ion batteries. view more (2006-04-07)
Fast AFM probes measure multiple properties of biomolecules or materials simultaneously
New research demonstrates that novel probe technology based on flexible membranes can replace conventional atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers for applications such as fast topographic imaging, quantitative material characterization and single molecule mechanics measurements. view more (2008-04-17)
Allergic-like reactions occur in premedicated patients
Allergic-like reactions can occur in patients (both children and adults) when given gadolinium containing contrast agents, even if they have been pre-medicated with corticosteroids and antihistamines, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan Health Systems in Ann Arbor. view more (2008-02-11)
World's smallest radio uses single nanotube to pick up good vibrations
Physicists at the University of California, Berkeley, have built the smallest radio yet - a single carbon nanotube one ten-thousandth the diameter of a human hair that requires only a battery and earphones to tune in to your favorite station. view more (2007-11-01)
Do experiences or material goods make us happier?
Should I spend money on a vacation or a new computer? Will an experience or an object make me happier? A new study in the Journal of Consumer Research says it depends on different factors, including how materialistic you are. view more (2009-02-24)
Researchers examine potential for 'refilling' hydrogen storage material
Performing quantum calculations on a supercomputer, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have characterized a material that might allow on-board refueling of hydrogen powered vehicles. view more (2005-08-29)
ASU researchers 'wire' DNA to identify mutations
A team of ASU researchers led by Nongjian Tao and Peiming Zhang has developed a new, breakthrough technique for the detection of DNA mutations. view more (2005-12-09)
New filter material can reduce the number of cigarette deaths
Using a new filter material of a network shaped polymer in filter cigarettes can significantly reduce the amount of tar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the mainstream tobacco smoke. This is the conclusion of comparative experimental research carried out by Prof.Dr. Wim Rulkens and Dr. Hans Brons, Environmental Technologists at... view more... (2000-12-07)
New AFOSR Magnetron May Help Defeat Enemy Electronics
Researchers funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) at the University of Michigan invented a new type of magnetron that may be used to defeat enemy electronics. A magnetron is a type of vacuum tube used as the frequency source in microwave ovens, radar systems and other high-power microwave circuits. view more (2009-09-17)
UT Dallas nanotechnologists demonstrate artificial muscles powered by highly energetic fuels
University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) nanotechnologists have made alcohol- and hydrogen-powered artificial muscles that are 100 times stronger than natural muscles, able to do 100 times greater work per cycle and produce, at reduced strengths, larger contractions than natural muscles. view more (2006-03-17)
Voracious sponges save reef
Tropical oceans are known as the deserts of the sea. And yet this unlikely environment is the very place where the rich and fertile coral reef grows. Dutch researcher Jasper de Goeij investigated how caves in the coral reef ensure the reef's continued existence. view more (2009-01-14)
Compound removes radioactive material from power plant waste
Strontium 90 is a common radioactive by-product of fission in nuclear power plants. When extracted from the reactor along with other isotopes, a mixture is created made up of the radioactive material and inert ions like sodium and calcium. view more (2008-03-13)
Micro-pump is cool idea for future computer chips
Engineers at Purdue University have developed a tiny "micro-pump" cooling device small enough to fit on a computer chip that circulates coolant through channels etched into the chip. view more (2006-04-27)
Golden Scales: Nanoscale Mass Sensor from Berkeley Can Be Used to Weigh Individual Atoms and Molecules
There's a new "gold standard" in the sensitivity of weighing scales. Using the same technology with which they created the world's first fully functional nanotube radio, researchers with Berkeley Lab and the University of California (UC) at Berkeley have fashioned a nanoelectromechanical system (NEMS) that can function as a scale... view more...

Unique study isolates DNA from Linnaeus' botanical collections
Researchers at Uppsala University has succeeded in extracting long DNA fragments from dried, pressed plant material collected in the 1700s by Linnaeus' apprentice Adam Afzelius. view more (2009-08-28)
Radiologists and engineers develop a modified catheter to reduce contrast material injuries
Though rare, IV contrast material administration can sometimes result in patient injury. However researchers have developed a modified catheter that may prevent such events from occurring. view more (2009-09-21)
