Genes linked to daily flux in drug toxicity
New findings in the July, 2006, Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press, may help to explain daily fluctuations in the ability to detoxify chemical substances, including chemotherapy drugs and sedatives. view more (2006-07-06)
Tiny ion pump sets new standard in cooling hot computer chips
University of Washington researchers have succeeded in building a cooling device tiny enough to fit on a computer chip that could work reliably and efficiently with the smallest microelectronic components. view more (2006-08-24)
Scripps Florida scientists devise accelerated method to determine infectious prion strainsScripps Florida scientists devise accelerated method to determine infectious prion strains
Current tests to identify specific strains of infectious prions, which cause a range of transmissible diseases (such as mad cow) in animals and humans, can take anywhere from six months to a year to yield results - a time-lag that may put human populations at risk. view more (2009-05-29)
Chemo combination improves survival in asbestos-related cancer
People with mesothelioma — a form of cancer associated with asbestos exposure — have a higher survival rate when treated with a combination of two cancer drugs, a large multicenter study finds. view more (2007-02-09)
Penetrating insights: NIST airframe tests help ensure better shielding for flight instruments
Airline travelers are used to being instructed to turn off computers and cell phones during takeoffs and landings as a precaution against interfering with the plane's navigational equipment, but outside sources of high-energy interference can be even more dangerous. view more (2009-08-27)
Ecologists spawn new use for PIT tags
Fishing for a way to assess mixing behavior in treatment tanks for radioactive waste, ecologists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory came up with an innovative use of radio frequency technology previously used to track migrating fish. view more (2005-10-06)
Attack of the invasive garden ants
An ant that is native to Eurasia is threatening to become the latest in a procession of species to invade Europe, as a result of inadvertent human introduction. Research published in the online open access journal BMC Biology demonstrates that the invasive garden ant, Lasius neglectus, which is a threat to native species, may already be more... view more...

Dynamical theory and novel 4-D colorimetric method reveal modus operandi of intact living brain
For the brain to achieve its intricate functions such as perception, action, attention and decision making, neural regions have to work together yet still retain their specialized roles. view more (2009-01-22)
The hormone of darkness: melatonin could hurt memory formation at night
What do you do when a naturally occurring hormone in your body turns against you? What do you do when that same hormone - melatonin - is a popular supplement you take to help you sleep? A University of Houston professor and his team of researchers may have some answers. view more (2007-11-16)

High hourly air pollution levels more than double stroke risk
High hourly levels of air pollution, more than double the risk of one type of stroke, suggests research published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2006-09-21)
Central and peripheral signals set the circadian liver clock
Anyone who has experienced jet lag will understand the importance of a smooth-running circadian clock. Crossing time zones decouples our biological rhythms from the natural cycle of light and dark we're used to. view more (2007-01-30)
Making Purer Rings For Pure Lovers
By using powdered metals, produced by passing molten gold, silver or platinum through a high powered jet, manufacturers will be able reduce the amount of impurities found in the ring. These impurities are picked up in conventionally produced rings as they are punched from a sheet of metal and extensively rolled into shape. The new technique also... view more... (1999-02-10)
Beetles could prove a hit with the aircraft industry
A species of beetle, that squirts its predators with a high-pressure spray of boiling liquid, could provide the key to significant improvements in aircraft engine design. The bombardier beetle's unique natural combustion technique is being studied to see if it can be copied for use in the aircraft industry. Scientists studying the bombardier... view more...

Environmental Manufacturing Could Stem UK Manufacturing Slump
Professor Sir Kumar Bhattacharyya , one of the UK's Leading Manufacturing experts, will, on Tuesday 20th April, tell an international conference at the University of Warwick that environmentally aware manufacturing is the one remaining thing that can stem the quarter century long slump in volume manufacturing in the UK and Europe. Professor Sir... view more... (2004-04-19)
New X-ray technique may lead to better, cleaner fuel injectors for automobiles
Standard microscopy and visible light imaging techniques cannot peer into the dark and murky centers of dense-liquid jets, which has hindered scientists in their quest for a full understanding of liquid breakup in devices such as automobile fuel injectors. view more (2008-02-25)
