'Green' Gasoline on the Horizon
University of Oklahoma researchers believe newer, more environmentally friendly fuels produced from biomass could create alternative energy solutions and alleviate dependence on foreign oil without requiring changes to current fuel infrastructure systems.   view more (2009-01-14)

The precise role of seminal proteins in sustaining post-mating responses in fruit flies
Successful reproduction is critical to pass genes to the next generation. In sexually reproducing organisms, sperm enter the female with seminal proteins that are vital for fertility.   view more (2007-12-18)

Mathematical model for the vibrato
As her PhD defended at the Public University of Navarre, telecommunications engineer Ixone Arroabarren has analysed the vibrato, one of the most important tools of classical singers. The study applies both to the teaching of singing in music as well as to the medical treatment of voice pathologies. It has put forward a mathematical model for the... view more... (2004-08-18)

Improving the immune system using ‘chatty’ bacteria
Certain helpful bacteria are able to communicate with cells lining the gut causing the production of chemicals that can kill off harmful microbes when they try to invade, scientists heard today (Wednesday 10 April 2002) at the spring meeting of the Society for General Microbiology at the University of Warwick.   view more (2002-04-02)

Royal Society welcomes Government report on crops of the future
The potential benefits of NFCs, and the myriad of uses to which they could be put, were explored in the Society's submission to the Select Committee, the main points of which were:   view more (1999-12-17)

Researchers find new chemical key that could unlock hundreds of new antibiotics
Chemistry researchers at The University of Warwick and the John Innes Centre, have found a novel signalling molecule that could be a key that will open up hundreds of new antibiotics unlocking them from the DNA of the Streptomyces family of bacteria.   view more (2008-10-29)

Producing medicines in plant seeds
Using plants to produce useful proteins could be an inexpensive alternative to current medicine production methods. Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at Ghent University have succeeded in producing in plant seeds proteins that have a very strong resemblance to antibodies.   view more (2007-01-17)

Xylitol reduces risk of cavities
The sugar substitute xylitol affects the bacterial composition of the oral cavity even in low doses. On the other hand, a relatively high intake is needed to counteract the production of acid between the teeth.   view more (2007-02-16)

Production of spherical beads with the JetCutter
A major problem in particle production technology is the large scale production of uniform beads from viscous fluids. Producing such beads is of interest in various industrial sectors, e.g. chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry, agriculture, biotechnology. The JetCutter is a new and simple technology for bead production that meets the... view more... (2003-11-03)

The Secrets of Stradivarius
The secrets of the Stradivarius violin. Are they Myth or magic? Objective scientific research and co-operation between scientists, makers and musicians is beginning to unravel the ways in which modern makers can recreate the sound of the finest violins New techniques of quality control and new materials might allow the construction of excellent... view more...

Treatment Of Residues With Wine Making
Amongst the activities involved in the making of wine is that of a number of effluents with a high organic level being produced and which generally do not respond particularly well to purification with conventional biological treatment. This type of residue, although not having toxic components, can prove environmentally problematic at times... view more... (2003-09-24)

Improving Swine Waste Fertilizer
Swine production generates large amounts of waste. While this waste contains nutrients that may serve as fertilizer when applied to agricultural fields, the ratio of nutrients in the waste is different than what a crop requires.   view more (2008-07-09)

Nanowire coating for bone implants, stents
University of Arkansas researchers have found a simple, inexpensive way to create a nanowire coating on the surface of biocompatible titanium that can be used to create more effective surfaces for hip replacement, dental reconstruction and vascular stenting.   view more (2007-08-28)

Do bacterial combinations result in enhanced cytokine production? No!
Probiotic bacteria, defined as living microorganisms that have beneficial effects on human health, have been used for the prevention and treatment of a diverse range of disorders.   view more (2008-03-18)

Report examines hidden costs of energy production and use
A new report from the National Research Council examines and, when possible, estimates "hidden" costs of energy production and use -- such as the damage air pollution imposes on human health -- that are not reflected in market prices of coal, oil, other energy sources, or the electricity and gasoline produced from them.   view more (2009-10-20)
