Bioportfolio: Life-long persistence of erythrovirus DNA genomes in human tissue
The researchers at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and University Hospital of Bonn, Germany, have coined the novel term "Bioportfolio" to describe viral genomic material remaining in the human body after infection. view more (2006-04-26)
Can you see me now? Flexible photodetectors could help sharpen photos
Distorted cell-phone photos and big, clunky telephoto lenses could be things of the past. University of Wisconsin-Madison Electrical and Computer Engineering Associate Professor Zhenqiang (Jack) Ma and colleagues have developed a flexible light-sensitive material that could revolutionize photography and other imaging technologies. view more (2009-01-14)
Researchers design new graphene-based, nano-material with magnetic properties
An international team of researchers has designed a new graphite-based, magnetic nano-material that acts as a semiconductor and could help material scientists create the next generation of electronic devices like microchips. view more (2009-09-03)
Scientists confirm that parts of earliest genetic material may have come from the stars
Scientists have confirmed for the first time that an important component of early genetic material which has been found in meteorite fragments is extraterrestrial in origin, in a paper published on 15 June 2008. view more (2008-06-16)
Wax-based heat storage for buildings
Everybody visiting an old church or temple has experienced the cooling effect of thick walls. On the other hand, heat waves particularly affect buildings constructed in lightweight materials. The walls cannot absorb much thermal energy, causing room temperatures to increase rapidly in summer. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar... view more... (2003-07-25)
Finding the right mix: A biomaterial blend library
From dental implants to hip replacements, biomaterials have become big business. But scientists pursuing this modern medical revolution share a basic challenge: biocompatibility. view more (2006-10-30)
A giant step toward tiny functional nanowires
Carving a telephone pole is easy if you have the right tools, say a power saw and some large chisels. And with some much tinier tools you could even carve a design into a paper clip if you wanted to. But shrink your sights down to the nanoscale, to a nanowire that is 1,000 times smaller than the diameter of a paper clip, and you find there are no... view more... (2005-07-01)
Improved ion mobility is key to new hydrogen storage compound
A materials scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has deciphered the structure of a new class of materials that can store relatively large quantities of hydrogen within its crystal structure for later release. view more (2008-05-19)
MIT reveals superconducting surprise
MIT physicists have taken a step toward understanding the puzzling nature of high-temperature superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with no resistance at temperatures well above absolute zero. view more (2008-02-13)
3D Sound Systems Using Groundbreaking Piezoelectric Springs
Piezoelectric materials such as quartz are used in digital watches and computers to produce stable vibrations at high frequencies. Polycrystaline ceramics, such as PZT (lead zirconate titanate), can be made to mimic the behaviour of these natural monocrystaline materials by polarising the crystals within the ceramic. This is done by applying an... view more... (1999-11-29)
UT-ORNL researchers take step toward understanding superconductivity
A research group at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory led by physics professor Pengcheng Dai, along with collaborators at Boston College, has taken a step toward understanding a great physical mystery. view more (2007-12-26)
Signals from stroking have direct route to brain
Nerve signals that tell the brain that we are being slowly stroked on the skin have their own specialised nerve fibres in the skin. This is shown by a new study from the Sahlgrenska Academy. The discovery may explain why touching the skin can relieve pain. view more (2009-04-15)
Finding superconductors that can take the heat
Superconductors are materials with no electrical resistance that are used to make strong magnets and must be kept extremely cold-otherwise, they lose their superconducting abilities. view more (2005-11-09)
New beryllium reference material for occupational safety monitoring
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with private industry and other government agencies, have produced a new reference material for beryllium. view more (2009-09-23)
Automated system delivers packages and profits
EUREKA project E! 2007 FACTORY PACK 2000 developed much more than a new packaging process for large items such as furniture and stone flooring. The system includes an advanced vision system, uses only one recyclable packaging material, offers additional environmental benefits by using less material and producing less waste - and is set to generate... view more...

Research studies techniques for conservation and restoration of color photographs
The conservation and restoration of photographs is a topic that, in general, has not been very much researched. For example, in the case of coloured or illuminated photographs, there does not currently exist an appropriate methodology, given that it there is not sufficient information about their material characteristics and structure. view more (2009-11-06)
Glasgow astronomers explain hot star disks
Astronomers have been puzzled for decades as to how the rings of hot gas surrounding certain types of star are formed. Now a team of scientists from the Universities of Glasgow and Wisconsin believe they have found the answer. The team studied a type of young, hot star, known as a "Be star", that has a disk of glowing gas around it, similar to the... view more... (2002-11-01)
Scientists closer to making implantable bone material, thanks to new research
Scientists are closer to understanding how to grow replacement bones with stem cell technology, thanks to research published today in the journal Nature Materials. view more (2009-07-27)
No oxygen in Eastern Mediterranean bottom-water
Research from Utrecht University shows that there is an organic-rich bed of sediment in the floor of the Eastern Mediterranean. This bed formed over a period of about 4000 years under oxygen-free bottom-water conditions. view more (2008-09-29)
Surround sound can be delivered to consumers more efficiently
Recent research conducted by scientists at the University of Surrey in collaboration with Bang & Olufsen and the BBC, shows that surround sound can be delivered to the consumer more efficiently by taking into account the results of perceptual tests. Although improvements in the audio quality of consumer entertainment systems such as DVDs, CDs,... view more... (2004-09-09)
