New properties of the very deep Earth discovered
To truly understand some of the movement we see at the Earth's surface, scientists have to probe deep into the interior. view more (2006-04-28)
Chemical Bonding States at Silicon / Silicon Dioxide Interfaces Characterisable with Light
The importance of characterising the atomic structure of the silicon / silicon dioxide interface as an essential component in highly integrated circuits has steadily increased as a result of continuing miniaturisation of silicon chips. The physicists, Dr. Stefan Bergfeld, Bjoern Braunschweig and Prof. Dr. Winfried Daum, Institute of Physics and... view more... (2004-08-26)
Novel 'delivery' Method For Nutrients Wins Kaye Innovation Award For Hebrew University Students
Increasingly, the public wants to "eat healthy," consuming foods that are high in the nutrients that are considered beneficial. The problem is that many of these food components are ultimately ineffective. This is so because most bioactive phytochemicals (chemical components derived from plants) are not soluble in... view more... (2004-06-09)
Next-generation microcapsules deliver 'chemicals on demand'
Scientists in California are reporting development of a new generation of the microcapsules used in carbon-free copy paper, in which capsules burst and release ink with pressure from a pen. view more (2009-10-29)
Tiny capsules deliver
A tiny particle syringe composed of polymer layers and nanoparticles may provide drug delivery that targets diseased cells without harming the rest of the body, according to a team of chemical engineers. This delivery system could be robust and flexible enough to deliver a variety of substances. view more (2009-01-13)
Hair-sized lens helps look in blood vessels
A tiny measurement system that incorporates a lens as thick as two human hairs has been developed by researchers to investigate the force exerted on the wall of an artery as blood whooshes past. In a research paper published today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering, Dr Rob Keynton and colleagues... view more... (2002-03-20)
UCR chemists identify organic molecules that mimic metals
A limitation in using hydrogen as a fuel in hydrogen-powered vehicles is the difficulty involved in storing it in a cost-effective and convenient manner. view more (2007-04-20)
Carbon creation offers cool solution to thermal management
A carbon-based material developed at the University of Leeds could provide a solution to the growing problems of thermal management encountered in electrical and electronic industries. The use of ever-higher power density demands improvements to thermal management. Poor thermal management can cause processors in electronic devices to overheat,... view more... (2000-09-24)
Bacterial Protein Shows Promise in Treating Intestinal Parasites
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego and Yale University have discovered that a natural protein produced by Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacterium sprayed on crops by organic farmers to reduce insect damage, is highly effective at treating hookworm infections in laboratory animals. view more (2006-09-26)
New technique could find water on Earth-like planets orbiting distant suns
Since the early 1990s astronomers have discovered more than 300 planets orbiting stars other than our sun, nearly all of them gas giants like Jupiter. view more (2009-05-26)
Nanohelix structure provides new building block for nanoscale piezoelectric devices
A previously-unknown zinc oxide nanostructure that resembles the helical configuration of DNA could provide engineers with a new building block for creating nanometer-scale sensors, transducers, resonators and other devices that rely on electromechanical coupling. view more (2005-09-09)
Crystal structure enables tailoring of pharmaceuticals against asthma
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have managed to elucidate the crystal structure of a human membrane protein - LTC4 synthase - which has a major influence on the development of asthma. view more (2007-07-17)
Princeton scientists discover exotic quantum state of matter
A team of scientists from Princeton University has found that one of the most intriguing phenomena in condensed-matter physics -- known as the quantum Hall effect -- can occur in nature in a way that no one has ever before seen. view more (2008-04-25)
Extreme nature helps scientists design nano materials
Scientists are using designs in nature from extreme environments to overcome the challenges of producing materials on the nanometre scale. view more (2008-10-15)
Mars Express radar gauges water quantity around Mars south pole
The amount of water trapped in frozen layers over Mars' south polar region is equivalent to a liquid layer about 11 metres deep covering the planet. view more (2007-03-16)
New nanocomposites may mean more durable tooth fillings
The mouth is a tough environment-which is why dentists do not give lifetime guarantees. Despite their best efforts, a filling may eventually crack under the stress of biting, chewing and teeth grinding, or secondary decay may develop where the filling binds to the tooth. view more (2007-04-30)
Researchers study how ice melts in contact with soil
A team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart (Germany) and the ESRF in France has studied how ice starts to melt at temperatures as low as - 17°C. This can occur when ice is in contact with SiO2, a material commonly found in soil. Below the melting temperature of ice, a layer much denser than 'regular'... view more... (2004-06-15)
MSU research sheds new light on dangers of high cholesterol
Research by a Michigan State University cardiologist published in the September edition of Clinical Cardiology has shed new light on the role that cholesterol plays in causing heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events in humans. view more (2005-08-30)
MIT creates new oil-repelling material
MIT engineers have designed the first simple process for manufacturing materials that strongly repel oils. The material, which can be applied as a flexible surface coating, could have applications in aviation, space travel and hazardous waste cleanup. view more (2007-12-07)
Physician-scientist proves stem cells heal lungs of newborn animals
Dr. Bernard Thébaud lives in two very different worlds. As a specialist in the Stollery Children's Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, he cares for tiny babies, many of whom struggle for breath after being born weeks before they are due. view more (2009-11-30)
