Atomic clock signals may be best shared by fiber-optics
Time and frequency information can be transferred between laboratories or to other users in several ways, often using the Global Positioning System (GPS). But today's best atomic clocks are so accurate—neither gaining nor losing one second in as long as 400 million years—that more stable methods are needed. view more (2007-03-05)
Gene transfer using mutant form of good cholesterol cuts vascular plaque and inflammation
Transfer of a gene that produces a mutant form of good cholesterol provides significantly better anti-plaque and anti-inflammation benefits than therapy using the "normal" HDL gene. view more (2006-09-29)
Three generations of optic Internet
Professor Mikel Izal from the Public University of Navarre, Basque Country, has analysed the problems to integrate new optic networks in actual network and transfer level (TCP/IP) Internet protocols. This integration will enable to create the core of the second Internet generation in future, the so called Internet 2. In that area, technological... view more... (2002-09-24)
New theory from University of Leicester scientists underpins drug development and food processing
Scientists at the University of Leicester have shown that the textbook explanation of how enzymes work is wrong - at least for some enzymes. view more (2004-10-05)
New research to help guarantee future of oil supplies
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are working with leading oil companies to further understanding of the nature of oil and gas reservoirs within deeply buried submarine channels. view more (2006-01-05)
Quantum analog of Ulam's conjecture can guide molecules, reactions
Like navigating spacecraft through the solar system by means of gravity and small propulsive bursts, researchers can guide atoms, molecules and chemical reactions by utilizing the forces that bind nuclei and electrons into molecules (analogous to gravity) and by using light for propulsion. view more (2007-08-08)
Energy drinks: The coffee of a new generation?
It's not uncommon for students to consume energy drinks to increase their concentration as they study throughout the night. view more (2009-02-06)
Brain power goes green
Our brains, it turns out, are eco-friendly. A study published in Science and reviewed by F1000 Biology members Venkatesh Murthy and Jakob Sorensen reveals that our brains have the amazing ability to be energy efficient. view more (2009-10-15)
Scientists grow 'nanonets' able to snare added energy transfer
Using two abundant and relatively inexpensive elements, Boston College chemists have produced nanonets, a flexible webbing of nano-scale wires that multiplies surface area critical to improving the performance of the wires in electronics and energy applications. view more (2008-09-03)
"Heftier" Atoms Reduce Friction at the Nanoscale, Study Led By Penn Researcher Reveals
A research team led by a University of Pennsylvania mechanical engineer has discovered that friction between two sliding bodies can be reduced at the molecular, or nanoscale, level by changing the mass of the atoms at the surface. view more (2007-11-02)
Prediction of RNA pseudoknots using heuristic modeling with mapping and sequential folding
An algorithm utilizing structure mapping and thermodynamics is introduced for RNA pseudoknot prediction. The method finds the minimum free energy in the context of the biological folding direction (5' to 3') of RNA sequences. view more (2007-09-19)
New approach to treating heart attacks reduces risk of life-threatening complications
Transferring heart attack patients to specialized hospitals to undergo angioplasty within six hours after receiving clot-busting drugs reduces the risk of life-threatening complications including repeat heart attacks, according to a new study from St. Michael's Hospital and Southlake Regional Hospital. view more (2009-06-25)
Whales Are More Precious Than Oil
WWF and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) published results of scientific assessment of the "Sakhalin-2" oil and gas project's (Sakhalin Energy company) impact on the Okhotsk-Korean population of grey whales. The findings are distressing: if only three females perish, this grey whale (Eschrichtius robustus) population will... view more... (2005-03-14)
Resistance genes in our food supply
Could the food we eat be contributing to the continuing rise of antibiotic-resistant infections? Harmless and even beneficial bacteria that exist in our food supply may also be carrying genes that code for antibiotic resistance. Once in our bodies, could they transmit the resistance genes to disease-causing bacteria? view more (2007-05-23)
Materials support for UK industry
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL), the UK's national standards laboratory, is currently one of industry's most invaluable allies in its pursuit of improved profitability and sustainable growth through better-informed materials selection and process design. Looking good and wearing well Industrial demand for high-performance, cost-effective... view more... (2003-08-11)
Survey reveals `mixed` progress in UK technology transfer sector
Preliminary results of the largest, most definitive report into the UK technology transfer sector have been announced at the 2002 UNICO conference in Glasgow. The benchmark survey, conducted by the University Companies Association (UNICO) and Nottingham University Business School (NUBS), shows that whilst the lack of seed venture capital remains a... view more...

Nutrition a major factor in rise in twin pregnancies
The commonly held view that IVF is the only culprit in the steady increase in the numbers of twins born over the past thirty years was challenged by a scientist speaking at the 22nd annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology in Prague, Czech Republic. view more (2006-06-21)
A chunky metabolism
Many bacteria break their metabolic processes into chunks. That may be logically tidy, but it's often metabolically inefficient. Researchers have now figured out the factors that tend to make bacteria more modular. view more (2008-05-30)
Cornell ecologist's study finds that producing ethanol and biodiesel from corn and other crops is not worth the energy
Turning plants such as corn, soybeans and sunflowers into fuel uses much more energy than the resulting ethanol or biodiesel generates, according to a new Cornell University and University of California-Berkeley study. view more (2005-07-06)
Impact of renewable energy on our oceans must be investigated, say scientists
Scientists from the Universities of Exeter and Plymouth are today calling for urgent research to understand the impact of renewable energy developments on marine life. view more (2009-09-17)
