When shorter waits increase stress
People hate to wait, says common customer service insight. Marketers will hype their earnest attempts to shorten waiting times or at least promise to provide customers with information or distractions to make the waiting time more palatable. However, when it comes to waiting for stressful events, such as a doctor's appointments or a job interview,... view more... (2008-01-09)
Access to prior mammograms helps radiologists detect breast cancer
Viewing prior mammograms in association with current mammograms significantly improves radiologist performance and may decrease unnecessary recalls by up to 44 percent, according to a study in the January issue of Radiology. view more (2006-12-20)
Directors challenged to create pocket sized films for mobiles
Before long, the majority of mobile phones will have the capacity to show short films. If you want to be one of the pioneering filmmakers to make their mark in this new genre then Pocket Shorts, a new initiative supported by NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation that supports UK creativity and... view more...

NIST releases new standard for semiconductor industry
A wide range of optical electronic devices, from laser disk players to traffic lights, may be improved in the future thanks to a small piece of semiconductor, about the size of a button, coated with aluminum, gallium, and arsenic (AlGaAs). view more (2006-10-13)
New HIV film tackles stigma faced by teachers in Africa
Addressing the discrimination against HIV-positive teachers in Africa is a key aim of a new documentary and accompanying book being launched in Senegal today by the Partnership for Child Development based at Imperial College London. view more (2008-12-03)
Electron filmed for first time ever
Now it is possible to see a movie of an electron. The movie shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. view more (2008-02-25)
Rice researchers gain new insight into nanoscale optics
New research from Rice University has demonstrated an important analogy between electronics and optics that will enable light waves to be coupled efficiently to nanoscale structures and devices. view more (2005-09-15)
Software to manage CGI animation helps Europe achieve feature film first
EUREKA project E! 3062 DAMAGE has developed a software tool to track and manage digital assets - the sound, illustrations, backgrounds, colour schemes and special effects - for production of a feature-length computer-generated imaging (CGI) animated film. While CGI animation provides popular and profitable entertainment, it has until recently been... view more... (2005-03-29)
From Europa to the lab, a new recipe for oxygen on icy moons
A new Pacific Northwest National Laboratory study offers the most detailed picture to date on how oxygen can be made in frigid reaches far from Earth. view more (2006-03-28)
Latest fuel cell material advance overcomes low humidity conductivity problem
Fuel cells have been a workable technology for decades - but expensive and lacking in infrastructure. In recent years, researchers have addressed durability, manufacturability, and conductivity challenges in alternative proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials for fuel cells - bringing the hydrogen-based energy source closer to reality. view more (2006-09-11)
X-Ray For Grain
Researchers from St. Petersburg have invented a way to check the viability of grains and seeds of agricultural plants without prior germination. The scientists assume that injuries of the germ and tissues of seeds can be revealed through X-ray photomicrography with the help of computer recognition system. This methodology allows determining the... view more... (2003-02-20)
Aluminum-oxide nanopore beats other materials for DNA analysis
Fast and affordable genome sequencing has moved a step closer with a new solid-state nanopore sensor being developed by researchers at the University of Illinois. view more (2009-06-03)
Smart thin film membranes adopt properties of guest molecules
Virginia Tech researchers announced last year that they had created a nanostructured membrane that incorporates DNA base pairs in order to impart molecular recognition and binding ability to the synthetic material. view more (2007-03-29)
Plastic-Protein Hybrid Materials
Enzymatic films for bioactive surfaces We encounter them every day in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, or shower gel: surfactants - surface-active substances. Surfactants belong to a category of molecules called amphiphiles, molecular hermaphrodites consisting of a water-loving (hydrophilic) "head" and a water-hating (hydrophobic) "tail".... view more...

Researchers Find Controls to Gold Nanocatalysis
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have made a discovery that could allow scientists to exercise more control over the catalytic activity of gold nanoclusters. view more (2006-08-10)
New Transparent Insulating Film Could Enable Energy-Efficient Displays
Johns Hopkins materials scientists have found a new use for a chemical compound that has traditionally been viewed as an electrical conductor, a substance that allows electricity to flow through it. view more (2009-11-10)
Scientists debate the accuracy of Al Gore's documentary
There is no question that Al Gore's 2006 documentary An Inconvenient Truth is a powerful example of how scientific knowledge can be communicated to a lay audience. What is up for debate is whether it accurately presents the scientific argument that global warming is caused by human activities. view more (2008-04-15)
Photoselective film proves effective for controlling height in potted gardenia plants
To grow the high-quality potted plants preferred by consumers, many growers use chemical "regulators" designed to affect plant growth and development. view more (2009-05-04)
'Supersolid' or melted 'superfluid' film: A quantum difference
New calculations support an alternative to "superfluidity" of a solid as the explanation for the behavior of an isotope of helium, 4He, at temperatures approaching Absolute Zero, according to a report in Physical Review Letters. view more (2005-06-16)
Hydrogen tank lighter than battery
Dutch-sponsored researcher Robin Gremaud has shown that an alloy of the metals magnesium, titanium and nickel is excellent at absorbing hydrogen. view more (2008-11-05)
