Tiny fuel cell might replace batteries in laptop computers, portable electronics
If you're frustrated by frequently losing battery power in your laptop computer, digital camera or portable music player, then take heart: A better source of "juice" is in the works. view more (2006-09-13)
The salt of life and genes
Mineral salts are essential for living organisms. To be precise, it is from these, living cells get their basic components, the ions. Common salt, for example, contains chloride and sodium ions which the cell uses to establish and maintain electrochemical balance with the environment. In order to achieve sodium equilibrium in animal cells, for... view more... (2003-04-16)
Genetic roots of bipolar disorder revealed by first genome-wide study of illness
The likelihood of developing bipolar disorder depends in part on the combined, small effects of variations in many different genes in the brain, none of which is powerful enough to cause the disease by itself, a new study shows. view more (2007-05-08)
NIST studies how new helium ion microscope measures up
Just as test pilots push planes to explore their limits, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are probing the newest microscope technology to further improve measurement accuracy at the nanoscale. view more (2008-09-05)
Queen`s Award for Optoelectronic Devices and Ion Beam Applications
The University of Surrey has been awarded the Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in recognition of its outstanding work over three decades in the fields of ion beam applications and optoelectronic devices. In collaboration with industry, the University's work has piloted leading-edge solutions in the development of many... view more... (2002-11-13)
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003
The two American scientists Peter Agre, 54, and Roderick MacKinnon, 47, will receive this years Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for discoveries concerning channels in cell membranes". view more (2003-10-09)
High-tech hydrogen scooter designed to sell clean technology
An Industrial Design Engineering graduate from Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands has designed and built a working prototype of a scooter, which can be powered by hydrogen. view more (2006-07-27)
Researchers 'see' structure of open nicotinic acetylcholine ion channels
The neurotransmitter acetylcholine is an essential chemical communicator, carrying impulses from neurons to skeletal muscle cells and many parts of the nervous system. view more (2008-04-08)
Researchers describe mechanisms by which capon gene causes heart rhythm disturbances
research team from the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, Johns Hopkins University and China Medical University and Hospital in Taiwan have described for the first time the mechanisms by which variants of a specific gene, CAPON or NOS1AP, can disrupt normal heart rhythm. Until recently, CAPON was not even suspected of existing in heart tissue or... view more... (2008-03-04)
Chance encounter with comet nets surprising results
Comets are made of the most primitive stuff in the solar system. As hunks of rock and ice that never coalesced into more planets, they give researchers clues to the evolution of solar systems. view more (2007-10-02)
Stanford researcher's discovery of ion channel turns ear on its head
Scientists thought they had a good model to explain how the inner ear translates vibrations in the air into sounds heard by the brain. Now, based on new research from the Stanford University School of Medicine, it looks like parts of the model are wrong. view more (2009-04-24)
Active carbon supercondenser
CIDETEC has just completed the project, subsidised by the Basque Government and CEGASA, "The development of a active carbon supercondenser for high-tension applications", aimed at developing home-grown technology which would allow the construction of an active carbon-based, double-layer prototype. Supercondensers (SC's) are made up of... view more... (2003-03-03)
Researcher discovers new materials
A research team led by Carnegie Mellon University Materials Science and Biomedical Engineering Professor Prashant Kumta has discovered a nanocrystalline material that is cheaper, more stable and produces a higher quality energy storage capacity for use in a variety of industrial and portable consumer electronic products. view more (2006-07-11)
Bringing solar power to the masses
On a 104-degree Friday in July when sunlight bathed The University of Arizona campus, doctoral student Dio Placencia sat before a noisy vacuum chamber in the Chemical Sciences Building trying to advance the renewable energy revolution. view more (2009-08-06)
Hydrogen tank lighter than battery
Dutch-sponsored researcher Robin Gremaud has shown that an alloy of the metals magnesium, titanium and nickel is excellent at absorbing hydrogen. view more (2008-11-05)
Car tyres monitor their own pressure
Whether inserted in the cover of a book or moulded in a car key, transponders prefer to lead an inconspicuous life. It's only when the retail store theft alarm screams or when an automobile anti-theft system prevents a car from being stolen that their active presence is noticed. But strictly speaking, the tiny electronic circuits are always... view more... (2003-07-01)
Models of eel cells suggest electrifying possibilities
Engineers long have known that great ideas can be lifted from Mother Nature, but a new paper by researchers at Yale University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) takes it to a cellular level. view more (2008-10-03)
Nanogenerator provides continuous power by harvesting energy from the environment
Researchers have demonstrated a prototype nanometer-scale generator that produces continuous direct-current electricity by harvesting mechanical energy from such environmental sources as ultrasonic waves, mechanical vibration or blood flow. view more (2007-04-06)
Brown Engineers Build a Better Battery - With Plastic
Brown University engineers have created a new battery that uses plastic, not metal, to conduct electrical current. The hybrid device marries the power of a capacitor with the storage capacity of a battery. view more (2006-09-14)
NIST physicists demonstrate quantum entanglement in mechanical system
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated entanglement-a phenomenon peculiar to the atomic-scale quantum world-in a mechanical system similar to those in the macroscopic everyday world. view more (2009-06-04)
