Maestro Fights His Corner Bringing Boxing To Opera
A music expert at Kingston University is hoping to deliver a knockout production after being given the go-ahead to develop a major opera about boxing. Dr Howard Fredrics has been awarded almost £5,000 from the Arts and Humanities Research Board to create The Whitechapel Whirlwind, based on... view more (2004-05-19)

DNA’s oscillating double helix hinders electrical conduction
DNA has an oscillating double-helix structure. This oscillating means that the DNA molecules conduct electricity much less well than was previously thought. Ultrafast cameras were one of the devices the researchers from Amsterdam used to demonstrate this. It turns out the DNA does not have a rigid... view more (2002-09-11)

Teenage pregnancies are influenced by family structure BMJ Volume 324, p 51
Without better marriage education and support in the United Kingdom, teenage pregnancy rates are likely to remain high even with increasing availability of contraceptives, suggests a letter in this week's BMJ. Trevor Stammers of St George's Hospital Medical School in London reports that young... view more (2002-01-02)

Chemical Bonding States at Silicon / Silicon Dioxide Interfaces Characterisable with Light
The importance of characterising the atomic structure of the silicon / silicon dioxide interface as an essential component in highly integrated circuits has steadily increased as a result of continuing miniaturisation of silicon chips. The physicists, Dr. Stefan Bergfeld, Bjoern Braunschweig and... view more (2004-08-26)

Measurements may help show if constants are changing
Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery-whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe.   view more (2006-05-01)

Never-before-made material similar to diamonds and ice, says UH professor
Not since the use of germanium in the first transistor radios and the discovery of its crucial role in semiconductor research more than 50 years ago has the study of this element garnered so much attention.   view more (2006-11-29)

Researchers develop foundation for circuitry and devices based on graphite
Graphite, the material that gives pencils their marking ability, could be the basis for a new class of nanometer-scale electronic devices that have the attractive properties of carbon nanotubes - but could be produced using established microelectronics manufacturing techniques.   view more (2006-03-15)

How Safe Are Your Foundations?
Catastrophic failure of the foundations of a large structure such as an oil drilling or exploration platform are costly in terms of wasted time, inconvenience, environmental damage or monetary value, but add to this the potential cost of the loss of human life and the confidence of the public in... view more (2004-05-13)

Stretchable silicon could be next wave in electronics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a fully stretchable form of single-crystal silicon with micron-sized, wave-like geometries that can be used to build high-performance electronic devices on rubber substrates.   view more (2005-12-16)

Shrinking magnetic storage media down to the nanoscale
In the world of electronic and magnetic devices, the goal is to get smaller.   view more (2006-03-14)

Unexpected discovery about earth's core
The core of the earth doesn't look the way it was expected to. Scientists at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden , KTH, can now show that iron, under extremely high pressure, such as that found in the inner earth, takes on unexpected properties, and this can be of importance in... view more (2003-08-29)

MIT researchers map city by cellphone
Researchers at MIT may not be able to hear your cellphone call, but they have found a way to see it. They mapped a city in real time by tracking tens of thousands of people traveling about carrying cellphones.   view more (2005-09-15)

Hybrid semiconductors show zero thermal expansion; could lead to hardier electronics and optoelectronics
The fan in your computer is there to keep the microprocessor chip from heating to the point where its component materials start to expand, inducing cracks that interrupt the flow of electricity - and not incidentally, ruin the chip.   view more (2007-12-20)

Anti-rollover device for tractors
An Agricultural Mechanisation team from the Department of Rural Projects and Engineering at the Public University of Navarre have designed a new anti-rollover structure for pre-1980 registered tractors. It involves a double arch protection system located at both the front and behind the driver's... view more (2005-02-22)

Body's anti-HIV drug explained
Humans have a built-in weapon against HIV, but until recently no one knew how to unlock its potential.   view more (2008-10-13)

Experimental bus-tram on test
In 2003, an experimental 24-metre-long bus with independent control and drive to all its axles will be introduced in the Dutch city of Eindhoven. NWO's Technology Foundation STW is financing research at Eindhoven University of Technology into a sophisticated electronic guidance system. This will... view more (2001-07-26)

Software-defined radio simplifies mobile phones
Mobile phones are getting more and more complicated. One reason is that a new radio is needed for each standard-GSM, 3G, and WLAN. A simpler solution, a radio that can be programmed to cover all standards, is now being developed at the Stringent Research Center at Linköping University in... view more (2004-04-19)

U of M researchers determine structure of protein that mutates DNA of the AIDS virus HIV-1
Understanding the structure of proteins involved in inhibiting HIV-1 infection could help in the battle against AIDS, and University of Minnesota researchers have taken a crucial step in that direction.   view more (2008-02-21)

Researchers Discover Unexpected Properties of Materials in Lowermost Mantle
Materials deep inside Earth have unexpected atomic properties that might force earth scientists to revise their models of Earth's internal processes, a team of researchers has discovered.   view more (2008-09-16)

Brain shows humans break down events into smaller units
In order to comprehend the continuous stream of cacophonies and visual stimulation that battle for our attention, humans will breakdown activities into smaller, more digestible chunks, a phenomenon that psychologists describe as "event structure perception."   view more (2007-05-02)

Researchers at UC-Santa Barbara have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have announced they have built the world's first mode-locked silicon evanescent laser, a significant step toward combining lasers and other key optical components with the existing electronic capabilities in silicon.   view more (2007-08-22)

New microscope boost for UK nanotechnology research
A powerful new microscope, currently available only in three universities in Europe and the USA, will position Britain as a leading centre for nanomaterials, researchers announce today.   view more (2004-12-14)

Argonne scientists peer into heart of compound that may detect chemical, biological weapons
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and in sensors to detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scientists because its structure was too difficult to examine.   view more (2008-09-29)

UC San Diego Physicists Reveal Secrets of Newest Form of Carbon
Using one of the world's most powerful sources of man-made radiation, physicists from UC San Diego, Columbia University and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have uncovered new secrets about the properties of graphene-a form of pure carbon that may one day replace the silicon in computers,... view more (2008-06-11)
