Premiere for Europe: Jules Verne refuels the ISS
ESA's Jules Verne ATV was used for the first time yesterday to transfer in one step 811 kg of refuelling propellant to the International Space Station while the two vehicles orbited Earth at 28 000 km/h. With this premiere for Europe, Jules Verne becomes the first western spaceship to succeed in refuelling another space infrastructure in orbit. view more (2008-06-19)
Carolina 'Clean' Coal: NC State Researchers Work to Make Wood a New Energy Source
Is wood the new coal? Researchers at North Carolina State University think so, and they are part of a team working to turn woodchips into a substitute for coal by using a process called torrefaction that is greener, cleaner and more efficient than traditional coal burning. view more (2009-03-12)

Wildlife researchers identify impacts of contamination in amphibians
Bill Hopkins, fisheries and wildlife associate professor in Virginia Tech's College of Natural Resources, and colleagues doing research at the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and in the field, have demonstrated that amphibians are exposed to contaminants through maternal transfer, as has been proven for other vertebrates. view more (2006-02-22)
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 regular structure as stated in textbooks. In... view more... (2002-09-11)
'Green' research at Louisiana Tech results in new geopolymer concrete technology
Dr. Erez Allouche, assistant professor of civil engineering at Louisiana Tech University and associate director of the Trenchless Technology Center, is conducting innovative research on geopolymer concrete and providing ways to use a waste byproduct from coal fired power plants and help curb carbon dioxide emissions. view more (2009-09-30)
European Programme to promote renewable energy
The European Commission has accepted EVE, the Basque Energy Entity, and Eolicas de Euskadi within the programme to promote renewable energy. The European Union is aware of the effort EVE is doing to obtain 12 % of primary energy from renewable energy. This entity has been accepted in the programme Campaign for Take-Off, together with Eolicas de... view more... (2002-10-03)
The secret to long life
What controls lifespan? An intriguing new twist is emerging from the work of Professor Heinz Osiewacz (Frankfurt) using a short-lived fungus. He has discovered that when there is a mutation in the gene, Grisea, that controls copper uptake into cells, the fungus can live 60% longer than their normal wild-types. Why is this? Professor Osiewacz... view more... (2001-04-04)

Packing the home in a Dewars flask
Cars and homes have one thing in common: They consume energy in the form of oil or gas. Energy-efficient vehicles typically make use of lightweight materials and improved engine technologies, and soon home builders will also need to pay greater attention to environmental concerns in their designs. New legislation became effective in Germany last... view more... (2003-04-24)
Experiments at UCSB push quantum mechanics to higher levels
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have devised a new type of superconducting circuit that behaves quantum mechanically -- but has up to five levels of energy instead of the usual two. The findings are published in the August 7 issue of Science. view more (2009-08-12)
The fight against obesity -- a new insight
With obesity still on the increase, it appears that the main weapon in the fight against it - reducing energy consumption by eating less - is ineffective. view more (2008-03-12)
Single embryo transfer - a new understanding of factors for success
Berlin, Germany: Transferring a single embryo to a woman can result in a similar number of pregnancies as double embryo transfer, while at the same time reducing the risk of multiple births and the complications due to twin pregnancies, a scientist said today at the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and... view more...

Mayo Clinic researchers recommend embryo transfer delay for at-risk women
Mayo Clinic researchers have determined a method to achieve the best results for the mother's health and birth of a live baby for women who undergo in vitro fertilization who demonstrate risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. view more (2006-10-25)
University helps reduce poverty through renewable energy
With the spotlight on World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, the issue of fossil fuel use has become a pressing one. According to renewable energy specialists at Sheffield Hallam University, fossil fuels have only benefited the development of two thirds of the world’s population and the need to take advantage of already... view more...

Tissue engineering on a mission to Japan
The Royal Academy of Engineering is sponsoring a UK technology mission to Japan on behalf of the DTI to investigate recent developments in tissue engineering and related advanced technologies. The Mission team, comprising a number of high-level experts, will visit Japan from 7 to 12 April. Tissue engineering is one of the most exciting, but... view more... (2003-03-28)
In-vitro fertilization improved with 3-D/4-D-guided embryo transfer and new placement target
Beverly Hills, Calif. and Washington DC (ASRM Annual Meeting) - October 15, 2007 - The pregnancy rate for patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) is improved when doctors use advanced 3D/4D imaging to guide the placement of embryos to the point where the endometrium is most receptive to implantation. view more (2007-10-17)
Finding energy solutions for this generation without compromising the future
As the World's oil, coal and gas reserves run low and countries work to reduce their greenhouse gases, we are looking for new ways to keep power flowing to our homes and industries. So, where should our money be spent when it comes to looking at alternative ways of providing energy? On Friday June 29th leading academics and industrialists are... view more... (2001-06-25)
