Exoplanets clue to sun's curious chemistry
"For almost 10 years we have tried to find out what distinguishes stars with planetary systems from their barren cousins," says Garik Israelian, lead author of a paper appearing this week in the journal Nature. "We have now found that the amount of lithium in Sun-like stars depends on whether or not they have planets." view more (2009-11-12)
Lithium additions to nickel aluminides increases material strength
Intermetallics such as nickel aluminides have been of particular interest due to their excellent high temperature properties such as strength and corrosion resistance. view more (2007-06-14)
Drug commonly used to treat bipolar disorder dramatically increases lifespan in worms
Nematode worms treated with lithium show a 46 percent increase in lifespan, raising the tantalizing question of whether humans taking the mood affecting drug are also taking an anti-aging medication. view more (2007-10-31)
Lithium battery cathodes being made using novel sol-gel method
Lithium batteries increasingly permeate our lives in all manner of electrical devices. Researchers from Thailand report on a study that investigates the use of the sol-gel method to produce battery cathodes from a new material. view more (2005-09-27)
Lithium and bone healing
Researchers have described a novel molecular pathway that may have a critical role in bone healing and have suggested that lithium, which affects this pathway, has the potential to improve fracture healing. view more (2007-07-31)
Clean-vehicle research initiative making progress

Ion Tiger fuel cell unmanned air vehicle completes 23-hour flight
The Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL's) Ion Tiger, a hydrogen-powered fuel cell unmanned air vehicle (UAV), has flown 23 hours and 17 minutes, setting an unofficial flight endurance record for a fuel-cell powered flight. view more (2009-10-14)
Battery ingestion not uncommon in children; caregivers and physicians need education
Ten years of case studies at a pediatric hospital and a thorough literature review have shown that it is not uncommon for children to ingest small "button" batteries, either through swallowing or inserting the batteries into their noses. view more (2009-10-05)
New imaging method lets scientists 'see' cell molecules more clearly
Scientists have always wanted to take a closer look at biological systems and materials. From the magnifying glass to the electron microscope, they have developed ever-increasingly sophisticated imaging devices. view more (2009-01-21)

Ancient mineral shows early Earth climate tough on continents
A new analysis of ancient minerals called zircons suggests that a harsh climate may have scoured and possibly even destroyed the surface of the Earth's earliest continents. view more (2008-06-16)
Lithium may help radiation target cancer, spare healthy tissue
Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center investigators have uncovered a mechanism that helps explain how lithium, a drug widely used to treat bipolar mood disorder, also protects the brain from damage that occurs during radiation treatments. view more (2009-05-05)
Improved ion mobility is key to new hydrogen storage compound
A materials scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has deciphered the structure of a new class of materials that can store relatively large quantities of hydrogen within its crystal structure for later release. view more (2008-05-19)
Lithium Builds Gray Matter in Bipolar Brains, UCLA Study Shows
Neuroscientists at UCLA have shown that lithium, long the standard treatment for bipolar disorder, increases the amount of gray matter in the brains of patients with the illness. view more (2007-04-11)
NIST develops novel ion trap for sensing force and light
Miniature devices for trapping ions (electrically charged atoms) are common components in atomic clocks and quantum computing research. Now, a novel ion trap geometry demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could usher in a new generation of applications because the device holds promise as a stylus for sensing... view more...

Lithium chloride slows onset of skeletal muscle disorder
A new UC Irvine study finds that lithium chloride, a drug used to treat bipolar disorder, can slow the development of inclusion body myositis, a skeletal muscle disease that affects the elderly. view more (2008-03-19)
Artemis on target for geostationary orbit
Slowly but surely - Artemis heads towards its working position. The experimental ion propulsion system designed to test a new form of technology for station-keeping on future satellites is performing well in its new role to get ESA`s Artemis to geostationary orbit and save the day. The Artemis (Advanced Relay and TEchnology MISsion)... view more... (2002-05-17)
CERN launches new cancer therapy initiative
The first meeting of a new European network for research in cancer therapy will be held at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on 12 and 13 February 2002. ENLIGHT* - the European Network for Research in Light Ion Therapy - aims to coordinate the development of a variety of projects at European facilities for "light ion... view more... (2002-02-08)
