Can you get cancer from flying?
Air personnel may be exposed to a higher dose of radiation than earlier calculated, and the risk for cancer may be underestimated. This conclusion is presented by research student Somsak Dangtip in his PhD thesis at Uppsala University, Sweden. His findings are based on new evidence from experiments... view more (2000-09-18)

Researchers design artificial cells that could power medical implants
Researchers at Yale University have created a blueprint for artificial cells that are more powerful and efficient than the natural cells they mimic and could one day be used to power tiny medical implants.   view more (2008-10-09)

Solar Energy: Electricity Out Of A Helicopter Turbine
The mountains of Armenia seem to have been created for electric power stations working on solar energy. The scientists at the Radio Physical Research Institute have chosen a ground on Aragats mountain, which is 40 km to the west of Yerevan and situated 1750m above sea level. Southern mountain Sun... view more (2001-08-24)

Migratory bird struggles with climate – pied flycatchers lay their eggs too late
They try very hard, but pied flycatchers are not able to adapt sufficiently to the climate change in Western Europe. Dutch ecologists state this in Nature's issue of May 17 2001. Spring in Western Europe warmed up during the past 20 years and became increasingly ‘early’. However, the... view more (2001-05-15)

Solar cell manufacturing process examined with a view to increasing cell efficiency
Electricity generated from solar cells is often quoted as being the solution to our climate problems. Unfortunately, this method of energy generation is quite inefficient. Overcoming this inefficiency is key to the widespread commercial acceptance of solar energy.   view more (2006-04-03)

A WAKE-UP CALL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH (p 587)
Issue 23 August 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 22 August 2003. This week's editorial comments on the new energy bill that will increase US domestic energy supply, concluding that the bill's implications for increased energy consumption rather than conservation is 'a step backwards for... view more (2003-08-20)

Non-Destructive Residual Stress Analysis
Every manufacturing process, from casting and forging, to machining and finishing, induces residual stresses in components. For critical components, such as aircraft wings and turbine blades, these stresses affect the durability and lifetime of the structures and assemblies. Current methods are... view more (2004-03-11)
