MIT researchers build tiny batteries with viruses
MIT scientists have harnessed the construction talents of tiny viruses to build ultra-small "nanowire" structures for use in very thin lithium-ion batteries. view more (2006-04-07)
Gene controlling circadian rhythms may be involved in onset of bipolar disorder
Disrupt the gene that regulates the biological clocks in mice and they become manic, exhibiting behaviors similar to humans with bipolar disorder, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2007-03-20)
Secrets from within planets pave way for cleaner energy
Research that has provided a deeper understanding into the centre of planets could also provide the way forward in the world's quest for cleaner energy. view more (2008-10-23)
Free smoke alarm programmes are failing
Providing and installing free smoke alarms to poor, urban households does not reduce fire related injuries and may be a waste of resources, find two studies in this week's BMJ. In the first study, smoke alarms were given out to 19,950 households in a deprived, multiethnic, urban community in inner London. Free installation was offered and... view more... (2002-10-30)
Largest study of its kind implicates gene abnormalities in bipolar disorder
The largest genetic analysis of its kind to date for bipolar disorder has implicated machinery involved in the balance of sodium and calcium in brain cells. view more (2008-08-18)
UNC study pinpoints gene controlling number of brain cells
In populating the growing brain, neural stem cells must strike a delicate balance between two key processes - proliferation, in which the cells multiply to provide plenty of starting materials - and differentiation, in which those materials evolve into functioning neurons. view more (2009-10-05)
New accelerator technique doubles particle energy in just one meter
Imagine a car that accelerates from zero to 60 in 250 feet, and then rockets to 120 miles per hour in just one more inch. view more (2007-02-15)
Closing In On Quantum Chemistry
Researchers in the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have simulated the process by which a quantum computer could calculate to high precision an important basic property of two small molecules. view more (2005-09-09)
Microscopic sea creatures provide foundation for gas sensors and other devices
The three-dimensional shells of tiny ocean creatures could provide the foundation for novel electronic devices, including gas sensors able to detect pollution faster and more efficiently than conventional devices. view more (2007-03-12)
Delft researchers predict 'nanobattery' performance
Researchers at Delft University of Technology can predict how nanostructuring - the extreme reduction of structure - will affect the performance of Li-ion batteries. view more (2007-04-03)
MIT physicists create new form of matter
MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. view more (2005-06-22)
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)
Free smoke alarms to poor local authority households are a waste of time and money
Local authority schemes aimed at reducing fire-related injuries and deaths in poor urban households by providing and installing free smoke alarms could be a waste of time and money, according to a study carried out by researchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. The study, the findings of which are published in today's... view more... (2002-10-31)
MIT makes move toward vehicles that morph
Picture a bird, effortlessly adjusting its wings to catch every current of air. Airplanes that could do the same would have many advantages over today's flying machines, including increased fuel efficiency. view more (2006-03-23)

Improved spectrometer based on nonlinear optics
Scientists at Stanford University and Japan's National Institute of Informatics have created a new highly sensitive infrared spectrometer. view more (2008-11-13)
Adding medication improves recovery for elderly with depression, says Pitt School of Medicine study
Adding a medication to a standard treatment regimen for major depressive disorder in the elderly improves chances of recovery in those who do not adequately respond to the first-course therapy or who relapse from it. view more (2007-06-01)
Shifting the world to 100 percent clean, renewable energy as early as 2030 -- here are the numbers
Most of the technology needed to shift the world from fossil fuel to clean, renewable energy already exists. Implementing that technology requires overcoming obstacles in planning and politics, but doing so could result in a 30 percent decrease in global power demand. view more (2009-10-20)
New quantum state: two electrons trapped in an excited atom
Researchers from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the University of Salamanca have discovered a method to generate a new quantum phenomenon which had never been explored until now: simultaneous trapping of two particules between two excited energy states. The research, reported in Physical Review Letters may have important applications... view more... (2002-01-23)
Rounding up gases, nano-style
A new process for catching gas from the environment and holding it indefinitely in molecular-sized containers has been developed by a team of University of Calgary researchers, who say it represents a novel method of gas storage that could yield benefits for capturing, storing and transporting gases more safely and efficiently. view more (2008-02-04)
