A new tool to help fight global warming
A revolutionary software system which could help manufacturers reduce CFC emissions is being developed thanks to an £80,000 investment from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organization which invests in UK creativity. View More (2004-11-02)
U of A students reaffirm the work of a 1920s paleontologist
Three University of Alberta paleontology graduate students blew the dust off an 85-year-old dinosaur find to discover the original researcher had it right and a 1970s revision of his work was wrong. View More (2009-12-15)
Protein simulation can be done three times as fast
Protein movement can be simulated three times as fast than had been thought possible up to now. Researchers from Groningen achieved the gain in speed by leaving out the calculations concerning hydrogen atoms. Meanwhile research groups around the world are adapting their simulation programs.

Northwestern researchers develop bistable nanoswitch
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been under intense study by scientists all over the world for more than a decade and are being thought of as ideal building blocks for nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). View More (2006-10-16)
True properties of carbon nanotubes measured
For more than 15 years, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been the flagship material of nanotechnology. Researchers have conceived applications for nanotubes ranging from microelectronic devices to cancer therapy. Their atomic structure should, in theory, give them mechanical and electrical properties far superior to most common materials. View More (2008-08-18)
Cranfield University aims to reduce sporting injury
As more of the population begin to recognise the benefits of sporting activity, there is a need for improved sports pitches which not only deliver increased access to sport, but also reduce the risk of injury. View More (2005-04-12)
American Thoracic Society publishes new statement on pulmonary function testing in children
The ATS and European Respiratory Society (ERS) published a new statement on pulmonary function testing in preschool children. View More (2007-06-25)
Quantum optics with microwaves
Quantum mechanics, famously, is full of effects that defy our basic intuition. A fine example is the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect, which occurs when two light quanta (or, photons) arrive simultaneously at a so-called beam splitter. View More (2013-05-08)
Soft substrate promotes pluripotent stem cell culture
University of Illinois researchers have found a key to keeping stem cells in their neutral state: It takes a soft touch. View More (2010-12-16)
Industrial cleaner linked to increased risk of Parkinson's disease
Workers exposed to tricholorethylene (TCE), a chemical once widely used to clean metal such as auto parts, may be at a significantly higher risk of developing Parkinson's disease. View More (2010-02-08)
For unzipping DNA mysteries -- literally -- Cornell physicists discover how a vital enzyme works
With an eye toward understanding DNA replication, Cornell researchers have learned how a helicase enzyme works to actually unzip the two strands of DNA. View More (2011-09-19)
Researchers butter up the old 'scratch test' to make it tough
It might not seem like scraping the top of a cold stick of butter with a knife could be a scientific test, but engineers at MIT say the process is very similar to the "scratch test," which is perhaps the oldest known way to assess a material's hardness and strength - or, in scientific language, its resistance to deformation.

Bringing dehydrated plants 'back to life'
Drought can take a serious toll on plants and animals alike. When cells are deprived of water, they shrink, collapsing in upon themselves and, without water as a medium, chemicals and enzymes inside the cells may malfunction. View More (2010-04-01)
Nobel Laureates published with IoPP
Institute of Physics Publishing (IoPP) is proud to note that five of the 2003 Nobel Prize winners have published important works with its journals. Many of these have been key papers, which have contributed to their success today. Sir Peter Mansfield, joint winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, has published a total of 25 papers relating to magnetic resonance in Journal of Physics C: Solid State... View More (2003-10-07)
Motor proteins may be vehicles for drug delivery
Specialized motor proteins that transport cargo within cells could be turned into nanoscale machines for drug delivery, according to bioengineers. View More (2009-03-23)
Paddle vs. propeller: Which competitive swimming stroke is superior?
Two swimming strokes -- one that pulls through the water like a boat paddle and another that whirls to the side like a propeller -- are commonly used by athletes training for the Olympic Games. But elite swimmers and their coaches have long argued over which arm motion is more likely to propel an aquatic star toward a medal. View More (2012-06-20)
Fly eye paves the way for manufacturing biomimetic surfaces
Rows of tiny raised blowfly corneas may be the key to easy manufacturing of biomimetic surfaces, surfaces that mimic the properties of biological tissues, according to a team of Penn State researchers. View More (2010-07-28)
Arthroscopy and open surgery are equally efficacious in treating common hip problem in most patients
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery have found that in comparison to open surgery, arthroscopic treatment of a common hip problem that leads to arthritis produces similar outcomes in terms of repairing structural problems in most patients. The study will be published in the July 2011 TK issue of the American Journal of Sports Medicine. View More (2011-07-11)
Device may lead to quicker, more efficient diagnostics
A twist on thin-film technology may provide a way to optically detect and analyze multiple substances simultaneously, leading to quicker diagnostics in such industries as health care and homeland security, according to Penn State researchers. View More (2013-03-13)
Predicting a die throw
Vegas, Monte Carlo, and Atlantic City draw people from around the world who are willing to throw the dice and take their chances. View More (2012-09-12)
