A scientist from the University of St. Andrews will describe the results of more than fifteen years of research, to be published in the journal 'Nature' on 2 August, which could change the way we power battery driven devices in the future. Rechargeable lithium batteries have been a major... view more (2001-07-31)

Microscopic sea creatures provide foundation for gas sensors and other devices
The three-dimensional shells of tiny ocean creatures could provide the foundation for novel electronic devices, including gas sensors able to detect pollution faster and more efficiently than conventional devices.   view more (2007-03-12)

A new 'Pyrex' nanoparticle
Researchers in Switzerland have developed a new method to fabricate borosilicate glass nanoparticles. Used in microfluidic systems, these "Pyrex"-like nanoparticles are more stable when subjected to temperature fluctuations and harsh chemical environments than currently used nanoparticles... view more (2008-09-08)

Oxygen ions for fuel cells get loose at low(er) temperatures
Seeking to understand a new fuel cell material, a research team working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, has uncovered a novel structure that moves oxygen ions through the cell at substantially lower temperatures than... view more (2008-06-30)

Erectile dysfunction in diabetes is due to selective defect in the brain
A new study sheds additional light on how erectile dysfunction (ED) interacts with diabetes. The study is another step in uncovering the link between the two disorders, and may lead to improved efficacy in treatments.   view more (2007-03-16)

Production of 'mint-scent'
In the industry, many tons of alcohol are used annually, as a starting point for the synthesis of many substances. Alcohol first has to be oxidised, after which aromas such as mint or cinnamon, or substances needed for the production of nylon are produced. Until now heavy metals such as... view more (2000-03-03)

New cocoa evidence on why plant foods are beneficial to cardiovascular health
While a growing number of studies has shown a link between flavanol-rich cocoa and cardiovascular health, scientists have now substantiated a causal relationship between specific compounds present in cocoa and cardiovascular health.   view more (2006-01-17)

Fat overrides effects of vitamin C
Fats in our stomach may reduce the protective effects of antioxidants such as vitamin C. Scientists at the University of Glasgow found that in the presence of lipid the ability of antioxidants, such as ascorbic acid (the active component of vitamin C), to protect against the generation of potential... view more (2007-04-02)

Unique imaging uncovers the invisible world where surfaces meet
Hoping to find new ways of addressing environmental pollution, a physicist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has developed some novel ways to observe what happens inside a cell when it comes in contact with contaminants or when toxic substances touch soil and water.   view more (2006-10-30)

Aquaporin and obesity
Dr. Gema Fr√ºhbeck, director of the Metabolic Research Laboratory of the University Hospital of the University of Navarra, has published a commentary in the latest issue of Nature.   view more (2005-12-21)

Therapeutic role found for carbon monoxide
In a medical case of Jekyll and Hyde, carbon monoxide - the highly toxic gas emitted from auto exhausts and faulty heating systems - has proven effective in treating the symptoms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), an extremely debilitating condition that typically leads to right heart... view more (2006-09-19)

Viagra for alleviation of pulmonary hypertension?
Results of a preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that Viagra may have a future role in the treatment of pulmonary hypertension (increased blood pressure in the pulmonary artery), a severe and potentially fatal condition causing respiratory impairment. Lung fibrosis... view more (2002-09-18)

Double Duty: Loss of Protective Heart Failure Protein Causes High Blood Pressure
Scientists at the Center for Translational Medicine at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia have found that a protein that appears to have protective and perhaps healing effects for failing hearts also plays a similar role in high blood pressure.   view more (2008-05-06)

Princeton scientists spy an electron dance
A team of scientists led by researchers from Princeton University has discovered a new way that electrons behave in materials. The discovery could lead to new kinds of electronic devices.    view more (2008-07-28)

New study confirms the ecological virtues of organic farming
Organic farming has long been touted as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional agriculture.   view more (2006-03-07)

Gene that magnetically labels cells shows potential as imaging tool
Mammalian cells can produce tiny magnetic nuggets after the introduction of a single gene from bacteria, scientists have found. The gene MagA could become a valuable tool for tracking cells' movement through the body via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), says Xiaoping Hu, PhD, professor of... view more (2008-06-04)

Blocking previously unrecognized links between inflammatory systems could make COX-2 inhibitors safe
A recently identified path of inflammation once thought to be wholly independent of other inflammatory systems has now been linked to another major pathway.   view more (2005-12-23)

Tiny particles one-billionth of a meter in size can be loaded with high concentrations of drugs designed to kill brain cancer.   view more (2006-11-15)

Stopping statins after stroke raises risk of death, dependency
People who stopped taking cholesterol-lowering drugs after being hospitalized for a stroke are at greater risk of death or dependency within three months of the stroke.   view more (2007-08-28)

Nano-sediment highways in catalyst
Dutch chemists have visualised how the porous structure of a zeolite catalyst depends on the production method. Zeolite made with carbon fibres as a template, has particles with straight canals that act as highways for the oil components which must be converted into benzene components. Zeolite is... view more (2003-03-21)
