The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2002
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is awarded with one half to John B. Fenn and Koichi Tanaka, for their development of methods in mass spectrometry for biomolecules, and with the other half to Kurt Wütrich, for his NMR-method to study biomolecules in solution The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2002 is being shared between scientists in two important... view more...

New approach to epilepsy - magnetic fields guide surgery
Electrical signals from nerves in the brain cause weak magnetic fields which can be measured by means of magnetoencephalography (MEG). A project supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) has investigated the extent to which direct measurement of neural electrical activity can be coupled with MEG to diagnose and treat epilepsy. The findings are... view more... (2003-10-06)
Combined imaging approach may provide better identification of difficult-to-diagnose brain clots
University of Cincinnati (UC) neuroradiologists believe a brain imaging approach that combines standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans with specialized contrast-enhanced techniques could lead to more effective diagnoses in patients with difficult-to-detect blood clots in veins of the brain. view more (2007-04-09)
A researcher of UPV/EHU has designed nanomagnets for industry
The PhD, defended by chemist Sonia Moralejo García at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), achieved a well-defined line for the manufacture of nanomagnets and other magnetic devices of wide industrial application. view more (2008-02-13)
Shape Matters: NC State Scientists Characterize Structure of Protein Involved in Preventing Alzheimer's, Huntington's Diseases
Scientists at North Carolina State University have effectively lifted the veil from an important protein that is linked to the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Huntington's. view more (2006-07-26)
Physicists trap, map tiny magnetic vortex
In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the three-dimensional structure of a tornado-like magnetic vortex no larger than a red blood cell. view more (2006-09-08)
From the Glass to the Brain in Six Minutes
Just one drink can quickly go to your head. Researchers in Heidelberg tested this well-known adage. view more (2009-06-16)
Research Team Is First to Model Photochemical Compass for Bird Navigation
A team of researchers at Arizona State University and the University of Oxford are the first to model a photochemical compass that may simulate how migrating birds use light and Earth's weak magnetic field to navigate. view more (2008-05-01)
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2003
The two Russian physisists Alexei Abrikosov, 75, and Vitaly Ginzburg, 87, and the British physicist Anthony Leggett, 65, will receive this year's Nobel Prize in Physics "for pioneering contributions to the theory of superconductors and superfluids". The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the Nobel Prize in Physics for... view more... (2003-10-09)
Shape matters in the case of cobalt nanoparticles
Shape is turning out to be a particularly important feature of some commercially important nanoparticles-but in subtle ways. view more (2009-06-18)
Nano-signals get a boost from magnetic spin waves
Researchers have figured out how nanoscale microwave transmitters gain greater signal power than the sum of their parts-a finding that will help in the design of nano-oscillator arrays for possible use as transmitters and receivers in cell phones, radar systems, or computer chips. view more (2006-09-01)
Device controls electron spin at room temperature
In a breakthrough for applied physics, North Carolina State University researchers have developed a magnetic semiconductor memory device, using GaMnN thin films, which utilizes both the charge and spin of electrons at room temperature. view more (2009-04-07)
Life patterns
A new use of old technology could lead to handheld scanning diagnostic devices (as seen in Star Trek!) one day becoming a reality. view more (2002-10-07)
UAB Researchers Develop a Model for Optimising the Magnetic Levitation of Superconductors
A research team in the Physics Department at the UAB, formed by Àlvar S' nchez, Carles Navau (also lecturer and researcher at the Escola Universitaria Salesiana de Sarri' ) and Enric Pardo, have developed a complete theoretical model that allows for the detailed study of the magnetic force of levitation that appears in a high-temperature... view more...

Changes in brain density can help predict schizophrenia
Changes in brain density could be used to predict whether an individual who is at risk for schizophrenia is likely to develop the condition or not. view more (2006-12-07)
Early use of nicotine could increase susceptibility for life-long addiction
Nicotine exposure at a young age may alter the "hard-wiring" of the brain that occurs during adolescence and young-adulthood, contributing to future susceptibility for addiction. view more (2006-10-17)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation: An effective treatment for depression
Current antidepressant therapies are not beneficial for at least a third of depressed individuals, leaving many with a lack of adequate treatment options. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive technique that excites neurons in the brain by magnetic pulses introduced through the scalp, has previously been identified as a potential... view more...

New hope for landmine detection
The first steps in a new method of detecting landmines by determining the presence of tiny quantities of the explosive TNT (trinitrotoluene) are described in research published today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal of Physics D. Markus Nolte, Alexei Privalov and Franz Fujara of Darmstadt Technical University in Germany, together... view more... (2002-04-15)
Young adults at future risk of Alzheimer's have different brain activity, says study
Young adults with a genetic variant that raises their risk of developing Alzheimer's Disease show changes in their brain activity decades before any symptoms might arise. view more (2009-04-07)
Diamonds may be the ultimate MRI probe, say Quantum physicists
Diamonds, it has long been said, are a girl's best friend. But a research team including a physicist from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has recently found that the gems might turn out to be a patient's best friend as well. view more (2009-09-23)
