Using invisibility to increase visibility
Research into the development of invisibility devices has spurred two physicists' thought on the behaviour of light to overcome the seemingly intractable problem of optical singularities which could soon lead to the manufacturing of a perfect cat's eye. view more (2008-12-01)
World-leading microscope shows more detail than ever
A unique 3-dimensional microscope that works in a new way is giving unprecedented insight into microscopic internal structure and chemical composition. It is revealing how materials are affected, over time, by changes in temperature, humidity, weight load and other conditions. view more (2006-05-03)
It will be possible to predict earthquakes from space
The scientists of the Department of Physics, Moscow State University, have proposed to predict earthquakes by measuring polarization of the solar light that is reflected from the surface of the Earth. The small and cheap equipment, which the scientists have designed, can be placed on meteorological satellites. Polarization of solar light at... view more... (2001-01-17)
Researchers use light to detect Alzheimer's
A team of researchers in Bedford, Mass. has developed a way of examining brain tissue with near-infrared light to detect signs of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-03-17)
£11.5 Million For World-leading Project At The Daresbury Laboratory, Cheshire, United Kingdom
The building of the world-leading 4GLS (4th generation light source) has come one step closer with the announcement today of £11.5 million for an exploratory phase of the project. This phase involves a 3-year study to establish the technical know-how needed to build this innovative scientific research facility, including the construction of... view more... (2003-04-02)
Video shows buckyballs form by 'shrink wrapping'
The birth secret of buckyballs -- hollow spheres of carbon no wider than a strand of DNA -- has been caught on tape by researchers at Sandia National Laboratory and Rice University. An electron microscope video and computer simulations show that "shrink-wrapping" is the key; buckyballs start life as distorted, unstable sheets of... view more... (2007-10-29)
Signaling proteins may represent biomarkers for melanoma
For the first time, researchers studying patients with abnormal moles have identified proteins that could help predict whether such moles will progress into melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. view more (2006-04-06)
Experimental Technique at GUMC Offers Real-Time Analysis of Breast Cancer Biopsies
A sophisticated microscope that offers a "real-time" 3-D analysis of tissue samples might, in the future, reduce the number of needle biopsies traditionally needed from women suspected of having breast cancer, according to recent research published at Georgetown University Medical Center's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center. view more (2007-11-14)

New light trap captures larval stage of new species; DNA barcode technology used
When David Jones, a fisheries oceanographer at the Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies (CIMAS) located at the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School, set out to design a better light trap to collect young reef fishes, he never imagined his invention would contribute to the discovery of a new species. view more (2007-10-24)
Discovery to aid study of biological structures, molecules
Researchers in the United States and Spain have discovered that a tool widely used in nanoscale imaging works differently in watery environments, a step toward better using the instrument to study biological molecules and structures. view more (2009-08-12)
Researchers link melanopsin gene to unexplored light detection system within the eye.
Discovery could explain why light keeps us awake and may lead to new treatments for disorders such as jet-lag and SAD. Researchers from Imperial College London, Johns Hopkins University, USA and Brown University, USA have discovered that melanopsin, a recently identified protein, plays a key role in a completely new light detection system in the... view more...

New Evidence on How our Eyes use Light to Manage our Body Clock - University of Surrey Groundbreaking Study Results
A new study published this week shows for the first time that the human eye is sensitive to short wave length visible light and transmits information to the body clock in a way that may make it possible to manipulate waking and sleeping rhythms. This new data, gained from a study carried out at the University of Surrey, might enable this type of... view more... (2001-08-20)
Fossilized liquid assembly: Nanomaterials research tool
From a butterfly's iridescent wing to a gecko's sticky foot, nature derives extraordinary properties from ordinary materials like wax and keratin. view more (2006-10-13)
Larvae shun the light
Drosophila larvae avoid light during the foraging stage of their development. Research published in the open access journal BMC Neuroscience shows that both 5-HT (serotonergic) and corazonergic neurons have a role in regulating this behavior. view more (2009-06-23)
New Laser Technique Advances Nanofabrication Process
The ability to create tiny patterns is essential to the fabrication of computer chips and many other current and potential applications of nanotechnology. view more (2009-04-10)
Possible evidence of cell division, differentiation found in oldest known embryo fossils
A group of 15 scientists from five countries has discovered evidence of cell differentiation in fossil embryos that are more than 550 million years old. view more (2006-10-13)
New nanosensor uses quantum dots to detect DNA
Using tiny semiconductor crystals, biological probes and a laser, Johns Hopkins University engineers have developed a new method of finding specific sequences of DNA by making them light up beneath a microscope. view more (2005-12-06)
