Physicists trap, map tiny magnetic vortex
In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the three-dimensional structure of a tornado-like magnetic vortex no larger than a red blood cell.   view more (2006-09-08)

Nose-on-a-chip Aims To Mimic The Real Thing
An ambitious project is underway to build the world's smallest electronic nose. If the project succeeds, it is expected that the technology would have many potential applications in areas such as environmental monitoring, healthcare and food safety. The aim is to combine the odour sensors together... view more (2002-03-04)

Copper nanowires grown by new process create long-lasting displays
A new low-temperature, catalyst-free technique for growing copper nanowires has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois. The copper nanowires could serve as interconnects in electronic device fabrication and as electron emitters in a television-like, very thin flat-panel display... view more (2008-04-29)

Novel experiments on cement yield concrete results
Using a brace of the most modern tools of materials research, a team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Northwestern University has shed new light on one of mankind's older construction materials—cement.   view more (2007-04-02)

Issue 1 of the new journal 'Molecular BioSystems' launched
Celebrations are underway at the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), where the first issue of the new chemical biology journal Molecular BioSystems has just been published. The electronic issue is freely available at www.molecularbiosystems.org. The new journal has particular relevance to the -omic... view more (2005-05-19)

MIT researchers fired up about battery alternative
Just about everything that runs on batteries - flashlights, cell phones, electric cars, missile-guidance systems - would be improved with a better energy supply. But traditional batteries haven't progressed far beyond the basic design developed by Alessandro Volta in the 19th century.   view more (2006-02-08)

Superconducting nanowires show ability to measure magnetic fields
By using DNA molecules as scaffolds, scientists have created superconducting nanodevices that demonstrate a new type of quantum interference and could be used to measure magnetic fields and map regions of superconductivity.   view more (2005-06-16)

Speech melody controls alternation of speakers
Dr Johanneke Caspers, an NWO-funded linguistics researcher, has observed how speakers of Dutch use speech melody to indicate that they wish to continue speaking during a conversation. Melodic cues prove especially important when the sentence structure suggests that they have in fact finished... view more (2001-10-08)

Sacred constant might be changing
Physical constants are one of the cornerstones of physics - sacred numbers which we know to be fixed - but what if some of these constants are changing? Speaking at the Institute of Physics conference Physics 2005, Dr Michael Murphy of Cambridge University will discuss the "fine structure... view more (2005-04-05)

ORNL mirrors powerful tools for studying micro-, nano-materials
Precision mirrors to focus X-rays and neutron beams could speed the path to new materials and perhaps help explain why computers, cell phones and satellites go on the blink.   view more (2005-07-21)

Work starts on first evidence-based system to help doctors with treatment decisions
Doctors may soon have access to an electronic 'support system' to help them make complex treatment decisions for patients with heart failure.   view more (2002-01-03)

Cool Findings: Nanotubes Could Improve Thermal Management in Electronics
As the electronics industry continues to churn out smaller and slimmer portable devices, manufacturers have been challenged to find new ways to combat the persistent problem of thermal management.   view more (2007-03-30)

Remnants Of Ancient Synagogue In Albania Revealed By Hebrew University, Albanian Archaeologists
Impressive remnants from a synagogue dating from the 5th or 6th century, C.E., have been revealed in the city of Saranda, a coastal city in Albania, opposite the Greek island of Corfu. Initial excavations at the site were conducted some 20 years ago when Albania was under tight Communist rule. The... view more (2003-10-08)

Structuring polymers by laser
Microstructured polymer components are often used to direct light in optical devices. As an alternative to mechanical processes, laser light can also be used to produce the microscopic relief structures, and even to remove them without contact. With a flash of blue-green light, the show begins.... view more (2004-05-14)

Leeds awarded £2.3m to map protein structure
The University of Leeds has been awarded £2.3m to map the structure of membrane proteins, so that drugs can be designed to more effectively target widespread diseases including diabetes, cancer and bacterial infections. The funds were awarded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences... view more (2004-04-17)

Modelling earthquake risk of gas fields
Using qualitative modelling, the risk of earthquakes due to gas extraction can be determined more clearly. "This is done by using three dimensional modelling software to calculate and simulate the forces and movements around geological faults deep under the ground," says Frans Mulders... view more (2003-12-03)

The EU becomes cyber Sherlock Holmes
How can you be sure your on-line transactions are secure, and find out if anybody has been siphoning off money from your credit card? The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed a way of handling electronic information to protect the rights of cyberspace users and guard... view more (2003-10-24)

Structure of protein collagen seen at unprecedented level of detail
The structure and behavior of one of the most common proteins in our bodies has been resolved at a level of detail never before seen, thanks to new research performed at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory.   view more (2008-02-27)

Cancer cell communication exposed
The discovery, by scientists at Monash University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, of how communication between cancer cells is controlled has promised new treatment options for malignant tumours.   view more (2005-10-31)

Cells united against cancer
