Nano machine of the future captures great scientist's bold vision
An idea conceived by one of the world's greatest scientists nearly 150 years ago has finally been realised with a tiny machine that could eventually lead to lasers moving objects remotely.   view more (2007-02-02)

Laser trapping of erbium may lead to novel devices
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used lasers to cool and trap erbium atoms, a "rare earth" heavy metal with unusual optical, electronic and magnetic properties.   view more (2006-05-01)

Over-feeding in infancy might set the stage for childhood obesity
The way obese women feed and interact with their children early in infancy might lay the foundations for obesity later in childhood. A small pilot study published this month in Nutrition Journal found that obese women fed their children more energy- rich food, and spent less time feeding and... view more (2005-05-17)

Diatoms discovered to remove phosphorus from oceans
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered a new way that phosphorus is naturally removed from the oceans -- its stored in diatoms. The discovery opens up a new realm of research into an element that's used for reproduction, energy storage and structural materials in every... view more (2008-05-05)

Fluidizing infant gruels with amylase to improve their nutritional value
The growth problems which affect the children of the countries of the South are attributable, among other causes, to insufficient and inappropriate complementary feeds. Such supplements are mainly composed of gruels made with flour from locally grown cereals mixed with water. Rich in starch, these... view more (2003-11-12)

ESA finds a black-hole flywheel in the Milky Way
Far away among the stars, in the Ara constellation of the southern sky, a small black hole is whirling space around it. If you tried to stay still in its vicinity, you couldn`t. You`d be dragged around at high speed as if you were riding on a giant flywheel. In reality, gas falling into the black... view more (2002-04-26)

Quasar light variability linked to black hole mass
Quasars are some of the most luminous and distant objects in the universe - and appear to have something in common with ordinary light bulbs.   view more (2007-01-09)

Feedstock makes a difference in feeding distiller's grains
When it comes to using distiller's grains in finishing rations of High Plains cattle, a Texas AgriLife Research scientist says the type of grain used makes all the difference.   view more (2008-05-12)

Study identifies potential drug target for Huntington's disease
An enzyme known to be critical for the repair of damaged cells and the maintenance of cellular energy may be a useful target for new strategies to treat Huntington's disease (HD) and other disorders characterized by low cellular energy levels.   view more (2006-07-31)

Researchers complete seismic borehole in Kentucky
Drilling has been completed on the deepest borehole for seismic instruments in the eastern U.S. The four-inch diameter hole for the Central U.S. Seismic Observatory (CUSSO), located at Sassafras Ridge in Fulton County, Kentucky, reached a depth of 1,948 feet, where bedrock was encountered.   view more (2006-12-14)

Fat still on the children's menu
Parents should think twice before offering a low-fat menu to youngsters, despite concerns over obesity.   view more (2007-08-16)

More efficient use of compressed air
Compressed air is an indispensable source of energy. 60,000 compressed-air systems in Germany consume 14 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, which corresponds to the entire power requirement of the German railroads. Although compressed air is the most expensive source of energy,... view more (2002-06-26)

Media briefing: Research on New Energies - Europe at the Forefront in Solar, Wave and Geothermal Energies
The European Union has the objective to double the share of renewable electricity to 12% by 2010. This one-day briefing will demonstrate Europe's leadership in developing and implementing ground-breaking research and technology transfers in solar, wave, and geothermal sustainable energies. On 16th... view more (2004-02-04)

University of Kent (UKC) gets top funding for steamship history
A maritime history project has been awarded the largest single research grant of the 2001-2002 academic year at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC).

Calorie restriction inhibits, obesity fuels development of epithelial cancers
A restricted-calorie diet inhibited the development of precancerous growths in a two-step model of skin cancer, reducing the activation of two signaling pathways known to contribute to cancer growth and development, researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center report today at... view more (2008-04-15)

Reining in Energy Guzzlers
An ammonia catalyst for the next generation? Ammonia is of central importance to chemical industry and to society as a whole. It is the starting point for the generation of such diverse products as fertilizers, man-made fibers, dyes, and even pharmaceuticals, to name a few. However, the synthesis... view more (2001-03-09)

Cosmic thermostats provide clue to 30 year old astronomy puzzle (Embargoed until 1900 hrs London time Wednesday 17 July 2002)
A cosmic phenomenon involving pockets of hot gas in space which appear not to cool down has been puzzling astronomers for three decades. Now new research by Dr Christian Kaiser at the University of Southampton and Professor Marcus Brüggen of the International University Bremen, Germany, shows... view more (2002-07-16)

Light from wind and waves
Engineers of PROEKTSTROYSERVIS (Kaliningrad) know how to make the stormy sea work. They have designed a unique sea-based wind-and-wave plant, which allows to convert the energy of wind and waves into electricity. The plant is not afraid of any storms. In appearance, the entire construction is... view more (2003-08-22)

Green Algae Step on the Gas
Whether it is in the shape of bread rolls, crunchy flakes or 'spaghetti al pesto di mare', the food industry is on an 'algae trip', selling these marine flora to health-conscious consumers as delicious energy-rich additions to their products.
