Scientists shed light on the mystery of photosynthesis
Scientists at the University of Sheffield are part of an international team that has become the first to successfully discover how the component parts of photosynthesis fit together within the cell membrane. In a paper, The native architecture of a photosynthetic membrane, published in Nature on 26 August 2004, they describe how the configuration... view more... (2004-08-25)
Antarctic plants repair themselves
Dutch researchers funded by NWO have studied the effects of the hole in the ozone layer on the vegetation in Antarctica. The repair mechanisms of lichens and mosses appear to be effective even at low temperatures. Nevertheless, the ecology of the Antarctic is still under threat. The rise in temperature caused by the greenhouse effect is doing... view more... (2001-11-26)
New technology will allow for flexible television and computer screens

Nanoscience Study Shows That Quantum Dots "Talk"
Scientists who hope to use quantum dots as the building blocks for the next generation of computers have found a way to make these artificial atoms communicate. view more (2006-02-22)
Lighting up paper
Researchers have developed a sophisticated way of measuring the print quality of paper. The work, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, describes how Jari Palviainen and colleagues at the Universities of Joensuu and Oulu in Finland, use what is known as a diffractive optical element-based sensor... view more...

Fishing in the dark
Nanotechnology is a relatively new scientific field that holds immense promise for the future. A nanometer is one millionth of a millimeter, and nanoparticles form the basis of completely new materials for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, electronic and optical applications. The size and structure of the particles are decisive in regulating the optical,... view more... (1999-09-03)
Light-induced hormone surge points to benefits of light therapy
A report in the November Cell Metabolism reveals powerful effects of light on the adrenal glands, a finding that might explain the broad benefits of bright light therapy for a variety of conditions, including sleep and depressive disorders, according to researchers. view more (2005-11-09)
Research project into Borna Disease Virus
Research being conducted at the University of Northumbria at Newcastle aims to throw light on a virus which could be at the root of many psychological illnesses. view more (1999-07-20)
Mantis shrimps could show us the way to a better DVD
The remarkable eyes of a marine crustacean could inspire the next generation of DVD and CD players, according to a new study from the University of Bristol published today in Nature Photonics. view more (2009-10-26)
A Colorful Approach to Solar Energy
Revisiting a once-abandoned technique, engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have successfully created a sophisticated, yet affordable, method to turn ordinary glass into a high-tech solar concentrator. view more (2008-07-11)
Searching the heavens
A new space mission, due to launch this month, is going to shed light on some of the most extreme astrophysical processes in nature - including pulsars, remnants of supernovae, and supermassive black holes. view more (2008-05-01)
UCF scientists control living cells with light; advances could enhance stem cells' power
University of Central Florida researchers have shown for the first time that light energy can gently guide and change the orientation of living cells within lab cultures. view more (2009-08-12)
The search for new applications for laser light beams
Light can blind or distort colours, or confuse one with chiaroscuros. But it can have greater usefulness if its properties, characteristics, how it is created, etcetera are better understood. view more (2006-05-30)
New magnets with 99% air content
Researchers from the Physics Department at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB), the Institut de Cie'nca de Materials de Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), and the Universidad de Zaragoza have created a new ultra-light transparent magnetic material. Thanks to its properties, the new material could have interesting technological applications,... view more... (2003-11-25)
Children with autism show slower pupil responses, MU study finds
Autism affects 1 in 150 children today, making it more common than childhood cancer, juvenile diabetes and pediatric AIDS combined. view more (2009-11-11)
Calm before the spawn: Climate change and coral spawning
What's the point of setting up marine reserves to protect coral reefs from pollution, ship groundings and overfishing if climate change could cause far more damage? A study published this week in London in Proceedings of the Royal Society B provides the answer. view more (2009-11-04)
Engineering the road to safer streetlighting
An innovative engineering project could lead to fewer night-time accidents on badly lit roads. It is developing a revolutionary way of assessing whether roads are equipped with appropriate levels of streetlighting. The new assessment system is quicker, cheaper and more comprehensive than methods previously used. It can also help local... view more... (2002-12-09)
Microbes use sunscreens too
Microbes can withstand extreme levels of atmospheric ultraviolet light (UV) by producing their own sunscreens. Unlike humans, some bugs may even be able to survive without any help from the ozone layer scientists heard today (Thursday 19 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn meeting at Loughborough University. "A group of... view more... (2002-08-28)
Scientists discover 'light echoes' of ancient supernovae
Astronomers have found "light echoes" from three ancient supernovae by detecting their faint, centuries-old light reflected in the clouds of interstellar dust. view more (2005-12-23)
