Royal Society of Chemistry Retrodigitisation Project
For many reasons (including library space, degeneration of paper issues and the wider availability of data), there is an increasing demand for electronic access (including searching capability) to all chemical research archived by the Royal Society of Chemistry and for this content to be linked to... view more (2003-04-14)

Researchers Find That Superman's Teeth Can Superconduct
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found that phosphorus, an element commonly found in teeth, can act as a "superconductor" - but you would have to have the strength of Superman to clench your teeth hard enough for it to work - as it happens at a pressure of around 2.5 megabars... view more (2003-10-13)

An international team led by UCL (University College London) scientists at the London Centre for Nanotechnology has unravelled the properties of a novel ceramic material that could help pave the way for new designs of electronic devices and applications.   view more (2006-04-20)

Remarkable new clothing may someday power your iPod
Nanotechnology researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are developing a shirt that harvests energy from the wearer's physical motion and converts it into electricity for powering small electronic devices worn by soldiers in the field, hikers and other users.   view more (2008-02-14)

New non-executive chairman for Institute of Physics Publishing
Mike Boswood has been appointed as non-executive chairman of Institute of Physics (IOP) Publishing, the wholly owned publishing company of The Institute of Physics, an international learned society and professional body. Mr Boswood, who is the first person to be appointed to this post from outside... view more (2004-06-02)

Hypertension appears to be frequently undiagnosed in children and adolescents
In a study of children and adolescents with hypertension, only about one in four had been previously diagnosed with the condition, according to a study in the August 22/29 issue of JAMA.   view more (2007-08-22)

UCLA researchers outline the structure of the largest non-virus particle ever crystallized
Researchers at UCLA, the California NanoSystems Institute, the David Geffen School of Medicine, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have modeled the structure of the largest cellular structure ever crystallized, suggesting ways to engineer the particles for drug delivery.   view more (2007-11-27)

Model for the assembly of advanced, single-molecule-based electronic components developed at Pitt
Researchers based at the University of Pittsburgh have created the best method so far of assembling wire-like structures only a single molecule wide, a significant step in science's increasing attempts to reduce the circuitry size of electronic devices to the single molecule scale and provide... view more (2007-09-27)

A system that makes the work of animal farming easier
The INKOA company has devised an intelligent system for the electronic identification of animals which eliminates the errors of current systems for animal and meat product identification. The new technology enables the automation of on-line processes in animal husbandry, abbatoirs, quartering... view more (2003-05-29)

An unexpected outcome of atmospheric CO2 enrichment
Unseen belowground interactions impact the composition of natural plant communities. Mycorrhizae, symbiotic associations between soil fungi and plant roots, help plants acquire soil nutrients but also drain substantial carbon from plants. Whether mycorrhizae help or hinder plant growth depends upon... view more (2003-05-22)

NIST scientists use electron beam to unravel the secrets of an 'atomic switch'
Scientists at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used a beam of electrons to move a single atom in a small molecule back and forth between two positions on a crystal surface, a significant step toward learning how to build an "atomic... view more (2006-08-21)

A new understanding of crystal structure of actinide metals
Researchers have a better understanding of how the crystal structure of some metals becomes stable through magnetism. Magnetic stabilization of the crystal structures of metals is rare. In some metals, such as manganese, iron, and cobalt, the magnetic interaction energy is large enough to influence... view more (2007-06-07)

Bringing unique remote sensing and actuation technology to market
British company Instrumentel has developed a revolutionary communications technology that enables two-way command and control for battery-less remote sensing and actuation.   view more (2005-02-23)

Atoms looser than expected
All the atoms in the universe just got looser, at least in the eyes of humans. No, the laws of physics didn't change overnight, but our knowledge of how strong atoms are held together did have to be readjusted a bit in light of a new experiment conducted at Harvard University.   view more (2006-08-16)
