Together, biological membranes prevail
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel method to visualize the fusion of biological membranes at the single-event resolution. view more (2007-01-29)
Study identifies molecular process underlying leukemia
New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has identified a molecular process in cells that is crucial to the development of two common leukemias. view more (2006-08-22)
Researchers identify mechanism that helps bacteria avoid destruction in cells
Infectious diseases currently cause about one-third of all human deaths worldwide, more than all forms of cancer combined. Advances in cell biology and microbial genetics have greatly enhanced understanding of the cause and mechanisms of infectious diseases. view more (2009-10-12)
Live recordings of cell communication
A new advanced method for nano-scale imaging of vesicle-fusion - vesicles are biological nano-sized containers - could add to our understanding of diseases of the nervous system and viral infections. view more (2009-08-06)
High-performance plasmas may make reliable, efficient fusion power a reality
In the quest to produce nuclear fusion energy, researchers from the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have recently confirmed long-standing theoretical predictions that performance, efficiency and reliability are simultaneously obtained in tokamaks, the leading magnetic confinement fusion device, operating at their performance limits. view more (2009-11-03)
Canada submits official bid as site for ITER
First application to provide a site for the fusion test reactor On behalf of the federal government of Canada the Canadian Ambassador to Russia, Rod Irwin, submitted an official bid for a site for the ITER International Fusion Test Reactor last week in Moscow in the presence of representatives of the ITER partners and the USA. This large-scale... view more... (2001-06-18)
ASDEX - German fusion device now re-operating in China
One of the world's most successful fusion devices of the eighties, the ASDEX experiment of Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) at Garching, near Munich, went into operation again on 2 December 2002 at Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. Five years after shutdown in 1990 ASDEX was given to the... view more... (2002-12-04)
Research Europe 21 March issue: stories on ITER and fusion, R&D targets, integrated projects, and funding in Austria.
Hosting ITER would cost 4.8bn euros It would cost Europe 4.824 billion euros to host the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, according to a Commission working document presented to EU research ministers meeting on 11 March. If work begins on ITER during Framework 6 - a possibility, since some partners envisage agreement on the... view more... (2002-03-21)
'Fusion' protein found by Johns Hopkins researchers
Working with fruit flies, scientists at Johns Hopkins have discovered a protein required for two neighboring cells to fuse and become one "super cell." view more (2007-04-11)
Gene fusion discovery may lead to improved prostate cancer test
A newly discovered gene fusion is highly expressed in a subset of prostate cancers, according to a study by researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College. view more (2009-04-10)
High in sodium: Highly charged tungsten ions may diagnose fusion energy reactors
Just as health-food manufacturers work on developing the best possible sodium substitutes for low-salt diets, physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have acquired new knowledge on a promising sodium alternative of their own. view more (2009-09-10)
Study Investigates the Cost Effectiveness of Spinal Surgery
Back pain affects more than 80 percent of people and costs more than $100 billion annually in the U.S. But is the surgery cost effective? A study by researchers at Rush University Medical Center suggests that for patients with spinal stenosis, a laminectomy, or surgical removal of some soft bone and tissue, is a reasonable value. view more (2008-12-30)
GUMC discovery highlights new direction for drug discovery
In a discovery that rebuffs conventional scientific thinking, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) have discovered a novel way to block the activity of the fusion protein responsible for Ewing's sarcoma, a rare cancer found in children and young adults. view more (2009-07-06)
Z machine melts diamond to puddle
Sandia's Z machine, by creating pressures more than 10 million times that of the atmosphere at sea level, has turned a diamond sheet into a pool of liquid. view more (2006-11-06)
Research Fortnight 5 December issue: stories on BBSRC, CEH, the Roberts review, and fusion
BBSRC defends institute from BSE audit outcome The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council has mounted a robust defence of research standards at its Institute for Animal Health. This follows two highly critical audits of procedures at the institute's Edinburgh laboratory. "We are not yet convinced that a mistake did happen at IAH,"... view more... (2001-12-05)
OHSU study says stem cell 'fusion' occurs in tumors
An Oregon Health & Science University study is adding credence to an increasingly popular theory that fusion is what bonds stem cells with bone marrow cells to regenerate organ tissue. view more (2006-05-10)
Research Fortnight 7 November issue: stories on deficits, fusion, Foresight and selectivity
Academic research more than 30 per cent in red Research at universities across the UK is over 30 per cent in deficit, according to figures obtained by Research Fortnight. There is also a historical infrastructure gap of some £3.8 billion, thanks to under-investment over the past 10 years. The figures confirm the fears of bodies such as... view more... (2001-11-07)
Scientists identify molecular structure of key viral protein
Scientists at Northwestern University have determined the molecular structure of a viral protein, the parainfluenza virus 5 fusion (F) protein. view more (2006-01-05)
Secrets from within planets pave way for cleaner energy
Research that has provided a deeper understanding into the centre of planets could also provide the way forward in the world's quest for cleaner energy. view more (2008-10-23)
New insights on fusion power
Research carried out at MIT's Alcator C-Mod fusion reactor may have brought the promise of fusion as a future power source a bit closer to reality, though scientists caution that a practical fusion powerplant is still decades away. view more (2008-12-04)
