New Type Of Reactor Developed For Cleaner, Safer Chemical Processing
Scientists in the UK are using an unusual form carbon dioxide in a new type of reactor capable of carrying out commercially important chemical processes which could be cheaper, safer and cleaner than their conventional counterparts. The work, reported in this month’s EPSRC Newsline is being carried out at the University of Nottingham led by... view more... (2001-02-05)
Gloves off in war on needles
NEEDLESTICK or scalpel injuries put healthcare workers at risk of life-threatening infections such as hepatitis C and HIV. But a simple pair of gloves that automatically disinfects the wounds could boost the chances of avoiding infection. More than 1 in 3 nurses in the UK have been stuck by a needle previously used to inject a patient, and 7 per... view more... (2003-05-28)
McGill physicists find a new state of matter in a 'transistor'
McGill University researchers have discovered a new state of matter, a quasi-three- dimensional electron crystal, in a material very much like those used in the fabrication of modern transistors. view more (2008-10-22)
Supercontinuum generation and soliton dynamics milestone achieved
A research team led by Fetah Benabid, University of Bath, has observed for the first time the simultaneous emission of two resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons (waves that maintain their shape while traveling at constant speeds). view more (2008-11-21)
New finding bubbles to surface, challenging old view
Chemical engineers have discovered a fundamental flaw in the conventional view of how liquids form bubbles that grow and turn into vapors, which takes place in everything from industrial processes to fizzing champagne. view more (2007-08-21)
Scientists levitate diamond, lead and platinum
Scientists at The University of Nottingham have successfully levitated diamond and some of the heaviest elements, including lead and platinum. view more (2005-05-11)
Vision of the future
A revolutionary new invention in optics which will lead to the production of energy efficient, low cost, high performance, large flat screens for information displays, educational displays and ultimately home cinema/TV, could soon be on the way thanks to NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts) - the organisation that... view more...

The photonic beetle
Researchers have been unable to build an ideal "photonic crystal" to manipulate visible light, impeding the dream of ultrafast optical computers. view more (2008-05-20)
UW-Madison team invents fast, flexible computer chips on plastic
ew thin-film semiconductor techniques invented by University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers promise to add sensing, computing and imaging capability to an amazing array of materials. view more (2006-07-19)
Growing Quantum Dots
Now physicists need not fully control the growth of laser crystals, because the crystals grow themselves. Professor Nikolay Ledentsov and his team at the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute have learned how to provide special conditions in which crystals can grow defectless. Growing crystals with... view more... (2002-09-09)
Simply weird stuff: Making supersolids with ultracold gas atoms
Physicists at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have proposed a recipe for turning ultracold "boson" atoms-the ingredients of Bose-Einstein condensates-into a "supersolid," an exotic state of matter that behaves simultaneously as a solid... view more...

New aluminum-rich alloy produces hydrogen on-demand for large-scale uses
Purdue University engineers have developed a new aluminum-rich alloy that produces hydrogen by splitting water and is economically competitive with conventional fuels for transportation and power generation. view more (2008-02-20)
Explosives go "green"
Certain explosives may soon get a little greener and a little more precise. view more (2008-08-29)
Study Finds New Properties in Non-Magnetic Materials
A team of Penn State researchers has shown for the first time that the entire class of non-magnetic materials, such as those used in some computer components, could have considerably more uses than scientists had thought. view more (2008-06-12)
Researchers reveal key human protein's structure, promising new discoveries for leukemia, AIDS and cellular calcium release
Cornell University researchers have discovered the 3-D crystal structure of a protein, human CD38, which may lead to important discoveries about how cells release calcium - a mineral used in almost every cellular process. view more (2005-09-20)
Ghosts, ESP, and crystal power: paranormal?
Across the world millions of normal people report paranormal experiences. Are these experiences real, or are there more down-to-earth explanations? This question was considered today on Wednesday 28 March at a symposium on the psychology of paranormal experiences, at The British Psychological Society’s Centenary Conference, held at the SECC,... view more...

Curtain May be Closing on Scientific Water Controversy
The curtain may be ringing down on a scientific controversy regarding the structure of water which arose two years ago. view more (2006-06-28)
University of Miami engineer designs stretchable electronics with a twist
Jizhou Song, a professor in the University of Miami College of Engineering and his collaborators Professor John Rogers, at the University of Illinois and Professor Yonggang Huang, at Northwestern University have developed a new design for stretchable electronics that can be wrapped around complex shapes, without a reduction in electronic function. view more (2009-01-22)
Scripps scientists create first crystal structure of an intermediate particle in virus assembly
The structure, described February 8 in an advance online publication of the journal Nature, provides fresh insights into the elegant dance that viral proteins perform to create the infectious structure that causes all manner of misery and disease, say researchers. view more (2009-02-09)
Liquid water found flowing on Mars? Not yet
Liquid water has not been found on the Martian surface within the last decade after all, according to new research. view more (2008-02-29)
