Radiation degrades nuclear waste-containing materials faster than expected
Minerals intended to entrap nuclear waste for hundreds of thousands of years may be susceptible to structural breakdown within 1,400 years, a team from the University of Cambridge and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reported today. view more (2007-01-11)
'Supersolid' or melted 'superfluid' film: A quantum difference
New calculations support an alternative to "superfluidity" of a solid as the explanation for the behavior of an isotope of helium, 4He, at temperatures approaching Absolute Zero, according to a report in Physical Review Letters. view more (2005-06-16)
Paint-on semiconductor outperforms chips
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a semiconductor device that outperforms today's conventional chips — and they made it simply by painting a liquid onto a piece of glass. view more (2006-07-13)
Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out. view more (2008-07-29)
Emory physicist opens new window on glass puzzle
When most people look at a window, they see solid panes of glass, but for decades, physicists have pondered the mysteries of window glass: Is glass a solid, or merely an extremely slow moving liquid" An Emory University research team led by physicist Eric Weeks has yielded another clue in the glass puzzle, demonstrating that, unlike liquids,... view more...

Pyramids give batteries a longer life
A way of increasing battery life in devices such as laptop computers, personal TVs and camcorders is reported today in the Institute of Physics Journal, Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering. Researchers at the University of Michigan and the National Taiwan University, have developed a film which increases the display brightness by 100... view more... (2000-06-22)
Television just got brighter: UCLA engineers are obsessed with the next generation of LEDs
Two researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science want to make sure future generations of plasma TV watchers will see games like the upcoming NBA Finals in the brightest, most beautiful color possible - for a lot less money. view more (2007-05-17)
One-atom-thick materials promise a 'new industrial revolution'
Scientists at The University of Manchester have discovered a new class of materials which have previously only existed in science fiction films and books. view more (2005-07-21)
I'm forever imploding bubbles
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed the first sensor capable of measuring localized ultrasonic cavitation - the implosion of bubbles in a liquid when a high frequency sound wave is applied. view more (2009-04-07)
NJIT professor discovers better way to desalinate water
Chemical engineer Kamalesh Sirkar, PhD, a distinguished professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and an expert in membrane separation technology, is leading a team of researchers to develop a breakthrough method to desalinate water. view more (2006-02-10)
'Racetrack' for fast electrons in semiconductor structures
In order to realize the electrical units of voltage, resistance and current with highest accuracy quantum effects in nano-circuits are nowadays used. Important prerequisites are extremely pure semiconductor layers where high-mobile electrons move through the crystal without collision with residual impurities. view more (2008-08-29)
The quest for a new class of superconductors
Fifty years after the Nobel-prize winning explanation of how superconductors work, a research team from Los Alamos National Laboratory, the University of Edinburgh and Cambridge University are suggesting another mechanism for the still-mysterious phenomenon. view more (2007-12-21)
Candy-coating keeps proteins sweet
Sugar-frosting isn't just for livening up boring bran flakes; it can also preserve important therapeutic proteins. Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a fast, inexpensive and effective method for evaluating the sugars pharmaceutical companies use to stabilize protein-drugs for storage at room... view more...

Beverage Consumption a Bigger Factor in Weight
When it comes to weight loss, what you drink may be more important than what you eat, according to researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. view more (2009-04-03)
Fuel From Sawdust
Russia owns enormous reserves of coil, oil, and gas. However, such unconventional raw material in energy industry as biomass is of great importance. Its share amounts to 4 per cent now and, probably, will be increasing. Biomass, i.e. organic waste of wood industry and agriculture, trees of quick growth, is considered to be recoverable energy... view more... (2001-07-27)
Leading European experts in magnetic resonance for animals
The UAB SeRMN is enlarging its facilities to make room for two new cutting-edge machines for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). view more (2007-01-11)
ISO finding questions accepted theory that liquid water was present in young solar system
Planet-like bodies with liquid water formed very early in the history of the Solar System, or so scientists used to think. That scenario may now be due for revision after a finding with ESA`s Infrared Space Observatory, ISO. The theory was based on the presence of certain minerals called carbonates in primitive Solar System objects. Carbonates are... view more... (2002-01-17)
Scientists find missing evolutionary link using tiny fungus crystal
The crystal structure of a molecule from a primitive fungus has served as a time machine to show researchers more about the evolution of life from the simple to the complex. view more (2008-01-03)
2000-year-old statue of an athlete sheds light on corrosion and other modern challenges
The restoration of a 2,000-year-old bronze sculpture of the famed ancient Greek athlete Apoxyomenos may help modern scientists understand how to prevent metal corrosion, discover the safest ways to permanently store nuclear waste, and understand other perplexing problems. view more (2009-07-09)
Isurpak, a new concept to pack and serve liquids
Stiffness and rectangular shape of cardboard boxes, impermeability of plastics and a comfortable system to open and close the box are the requirements an ideal package should fulfil. Those are also the conditions package engineers try to find in their researches. All those characteristics are included in the ISURPAK package, an invention of the... view more... (2002-09-27)
