Scientist of the University of Ghent discovers natural atom antihydrogen
On February 15, 2005 of the Physics/Einstein Year, the complete story of the discovery of natural atom antihydrogen, started in 1985, was published on-line.   view more (2005-03-02)

Mystery of R Coronae Borealis and other helium stars solved
Astronomers Dr Simon Jeffery of the Armagh Observatory and Dr Hideyuki Saio of Tohoku University, Japan, have finally solved a long-standing mystery concerning the creation of two particular kinds of rare stars. They have found that a class of variable stars named after their prototype R Coronae Borealis (RCrB), and a related group called `extreme... view more... (2002-03-25)

UIC and Japanese chemists close in on molecular switch
The electronics industry believes that when it comes to circuits, smaller is better -- and many foresee a future where electrical switches and circuits will be as tiny as single molecules.   view more (2007-07-11)

Argonne breakthrough may revolutionize ethylene production
A new environmentally friendly technology created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory may revolutionize the production of the world's most commonly produced organic compound, ethylene.   view more (2008-02-06)

New NIST detector can 'see' single neutrons over broad range
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have developed a new optical method that can detect individual neutrons and record them over a range of intensities at least a hundred times greater than existing detectors.   view more (2008-03-11)

Brookhaven lab scientists stabilize platinum electrocatalysts for use in fuel cells
Platinum is the most efficient electrocatalyst for accelerating chemical reactions in fuel cells for electric vehicles. In reactions during the stop-and-go driving of an electric car, however, the platinum dissolves, which reduces its efficiency as a catalyst. This is a major impediment for vehicle-application of fuel cells.   view more (2007-01-15)

Go Speed Racer! Revving up the world's fastest nanomotors
In a "major step" toward a practical energy source for powering tomorrow's nanomachines, researchers in Arizona report development of a new generation of sub-microscopic nanomotors that are up to 10 times more powerful than existing motors. Their study is scheduled for the May 27 issue of ACS Nano, a monthly journal.   view more (2008-05-01)

Researchers achieve long-sought goal of using lasers to break specific molecular bonds
A team of researchers has achieved a long-sought scientific goal: using laser light to break specific molecular bonds.   view more (2006-05-19)

Rounding up gases, nano-style
A new process for catching gas from the environment and holding it indefinitely in molecular-sized containers has been developed by a team of University of Calgary researchers, who say it represents a novel method of gas storage that could yield benefits for capturing, storing and transporting gases more safely and efficiently.   view more (2008-02-04)

Computer models suggest planetary and extrasolar planet atmospheres
The world is abuzz with the discovery of an extrasolar, Earth-like planet around the star Gliese 581 that is relatively close to our Earth at 20 light years away in the constellation Libra.   view more (2007-06-20)

New research network: Artificial photosynthesis för future energy producion
Nature utilizes energy from the sun for its production. Some algae produce hydrogen from water with the help of solar energy. So why not imitate nature to extract renewable energy without harming the environment? The EU is now giving European research a boost by allocating EUR1.8 million to a new network to be led by Uppsala University. Plant... view more... (2005-02-21)

Model gives clearer idea of how oxygen came to dominate Earth's atmosphere
A number of hypotheses have been used to explain how free oxygen first accumulated in Earth's atmosphere some 2.4 billion years ago, but a full understanding has proven elusive.   view more (2005-08-09)

It whistles; change in pitch tells all in this new sonic gas analyzer
Penn State researchers have developed a prototype sonic gas analyzer that automatically and continuously tracks the concentration of a gas in an air/gas mixture based on changes in pitch.   view more (2005-10-20)

Duke Innovations Improve Accuracy Of MRI As Internal "Thermometer"
Duke University chemists say they have developed a new way to measure temperature changes inside the body with unprecedented precision by correcting a subtle error in the original theory underlying Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).   view more (2008-10-17)

Dancing 'adatoms' help chemists understand how water molecules split
Single oxygen atoms dancing on a metal oxide slab, glowing brighter here and dimmer there, have helped chemists better understand how water splits into oxygen and hydrogen. In the process, the scientists have visualized a chemical reaction that had previously only been talked about. The new work improves our understanding of the chemistry needed... view more...

U of M researchers invent 'flashy' new process to turn soy oil, glucose into hydrogen
Anyone who's overheated vegetable oil or sweet syrup knows that neither oil nor sugar evaporates-oil smokes and turns brown, sugar turns black, and both leave a nasty film of carbon on the cookware.   view more (2006-11-03)

New catalysts may create more, cheaper hydrogen
A new class of catalysts created at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory may help scientists and engineers overcome some of the hurdles that have inhibited the production of hydrogen for use in fuel cells.   view more (2007-08-22)
