Looking into the eye of the furnace
Every schoolchild knows that carbon burns easily. So what about brake disks? Those used in Formula-1 race cars and certain top-of-the-range Porsche and Mercedes cars are made of silicon carbide reinforced with carbon fibers. Their braking performance is so exceptional that similar materials will soon find their way into mid-range family... view more... (2004-01-05)
Scientists discover surprise in Earth's upper atmosphere
UCLA atmospheric scientists have discovered a previously unknown basic mode of energy transfer from the solar wind to the Earth's magnetosphere. The research, federally funded by the National Science Foundation, could improve the safety and reliability of spacecraft that operate in the upper atmosphere. view more (2009-09-10)
University of Pennsylvania Chemists Reinvent the Science and Industry of Making Plastics
Chemists at the University of Pennsylvania have created a new process for free radical polymerization, the chemical reaction responsible for creating an enormous array of everyday plastic products, from Styrofoam cups to PVC tubing to car parts. view more (2006-10-13)
Microbial Fuel Cells: Optimization Of The Anode Compartment For Improved Electron Transfer
A microbial fuel cell mimics a biological system, in which bacteria do not directly transfer the energy-rich electrons gained out of the feeding to their characteristic electron acceptor. Instead, the electrons are diverted towards an electrode (anode) and subsequently conducted over a resistance or power user, and a cathode (see figure). At the... view more... (2003-11-14)
Imperial College London and Singapore's Exploit Technologies strikes technology transfer business deal
Imperial College London and Exploit Technologies Pte Ltd of Singapore have signed the first international collaboration agreement on technology transfer. The agreement allows for both organisations to access information on potential licensees, strategic partners for spin-out companies, investor networks and to share best practice in technology... view more...

Plenary sessions led by expert speakers from... view more... (2004-01-22)
Synchrotron Sheds Light On Bacteria's Solar Cell
Researchers based at the University of Glasgow, using X-ray data collected at the Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, have made a major advance in our understanding of the process by which sunlight is converted to food energy, without which life on earth could not exist. The work is published this week (12 December... view more... (2003-12-12)
Quantum Secrets of Photosynthesis Revealed
Through photosynthesis, green plants and cyanobacteria are able to transfer sunlight energy to molecular reaction centers for conversion into chemical energy with nearly 100-percent efficiency. view more (2007-04-13)
Cellular organelle evolved repeatedly
NWO researchers have discovered that in the course of evolution hydrogenosomes repeatedly evolved from mitochondria. Hydrogenosomes, or 'hydrogen-forming organelles', are cell organelles that produce hydrogen and energy. They serve as an alternative energy supply in organisms that live without oxygen, such as anaerobic fungi and protozoa. The... view more... (2001-07-26)
CLRC launches innovation company
CLRC announces the launch of CLIK (Central Laboratory Innovation & Knowledge Transfer Ltd). The new technology transfer company has been set up as the focus for the commercialisation of research carried out at CLRC (Central Laboratory of the Research Councils). CLIK commenced operations 2 April 2002, headed by Dr Keith Winters. "CLIK... view more... (2002-05-03)
Cancer-Causing Protein Can Also Help Fight the Tumors It Causes
Oncogenes are genes that when mutated or expressed in high concentrations can cause normal cells to become cancerous. view more (2009-06-19)
New Method Confirms Importance of Fungi in Arctic Nitrogen Cycle
A new method to calculate the transfer of nitrogen from Arctic mushrooms to plants is shedding light on how fungi living symbiotically on plant roots transfer vital nutrients to their hosts. view more (2006-05-10)
DOE outlines research needed to improve solar energy technologies
To help achieve the Bush Administration's goal of increased use of solar and other renewable forms of energy, the Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science has released a report describing the basic research needed to produce "revolutionary progress in bringing solar energy to its full potential in the energy marketplace." view more (2005-08-15)
Polymers are promising tools for gene therapy
New methods are being developed to cure illnesses with the aid of gene therapy. Polymer technology provides new and versatile possibilities for administering gene doses. "Polymers are used to pack the gene to be transferred into particles of the size of a ten thousandth of a millimetre. These polymers effectively transport the transferable... view more...

Adding up renewable energy
Do the overall efficiencies of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and geothermal add up in terms of their complete life cycle from materials sourcing, manufacture, running, and decommissioning" Researchers in Greece have carried out a life cycle assessment to find the answer. view more (2007-08-14)
The Innovation Review: response from Research Councils UK
A government report examining the contribution that innovation makes to closing the nation's productivity gap has been welcomed by the UK's Research Councils. The DTI's Innovation Review, published today, recognises that the UK's Research Councils have significantly increased the rate of knowledge transfer from their research activities in recent... view more...

Hurricanes, other vortices seize energy via 'hostile takeovers'
For decades, scientists who study hurricanes, whirlpools and other large fluid vortices have puzzled over precisely how these vast swirling masses of gas or liquid sustain themselves. view more (2006-03-07)
Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar transfer trajectory
Yesterday, following a fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre, the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft successfully settled into a trajectory that will take it to the Moon. view more (2008-11-06)
