Intensive youth soccer participation leads to growth deformations
In this study, 550 Belgian young soccer players were medically examined in different soccer teams at different competitive levels. The observed growth deformations in this study are situated at the knee joint, were an non-symmetrical growth was found. This non-symmetrical growth leads to the... view more (2002-06-11)

Technique creates metal memory and could lead to vanishing dents
Crumpled kitchen foil that lays flat for reuse. Bent bumpers that straighten overnight. Dents in car doors that disappear when heated with a hairdryer. These and other physical feats may become possible with a technique to make memory metals discovered by researchers at the University of Illinois.   view more (2007-03-30)

Metal deformation studies lead to new understanding of materials at extreme conditions
By combining very large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with time-resolved data from laser experiments of shock wave propagation through specific metals, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are now able to better understand the evolution of high-strain-rate plasticity.   view more (2006-09-19)

Smaller is Stronger - Now Scientists Know Why
As structures made of metal get smaller - as their dimensions approach the micrometer scale (millionths of a meter) or less - they get stronger. Scientists discovered this phenomenon 50 years ago while measuring the strength of tin "whiskers" a few micrometers in diameter and a few... view more (2008-01-03)

Researchers make new electronics -- with a twist
They've made electronics that can bend. They've made electronics that can stretch. And now, they've reached the ultimate goal -- electronics that can be subjected to any complex deformation, including twisting.   view more (2008-11-20)

New technique puts brain-imaging research on its head
It's a scene football fans will see over and over during the bowl and NFL playoff seasons: a player, often the quarterback, being slammed to the ground and hitting the back of his head on the landing.   view more (2005-12-09)

Development of environmentally friendly metal finishing process
The University of Leicester is playing a key part in a network of 33 companies and universities, set up to develop pioneering new processes for metal coatings which will offer benefits to a wide range of industries, including automotive and aerospace component manufacturers.   view more (2004-11-25)

UCLA scientists design new super-hard material
Ultra-hard materials are used for everything from drills that bore for oil and build new roads to scratch-resistant coatings for precision instruments and the face of your watch.   view more (2007-04-23)

Atoms under the mantle
At a depth of 2900 kilometres, the layer between the Earth's mantle and its core has always intrigued geophysicists because they are unable to explain the seismic data it generates.   view more (2007-03-07)

Beyond the bonds that bind: UCSB researchers discover hydrogen can form multicenter bonds
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have shown that, under the right circumstances, hydrogen can form multicenter bonds, where one hydrogen atom simultaneously bonds to as many as four or six other atoms.   view more (2006-12-04)

Nature Points the way to a sustainable hydrogen economy
"This is an exciting early step in developing a sustainable system for producing electricity from hydrogen" said Professor Chris Pickett (Associate Head of the Biological Chemistry Department at JIC). "In Nature iron-sulphur enzymes catalyse a range of important chemical reactions... view more (2005-02-10)

New X-ray microbeam answers 20-year-old metals question
What happens to metals when you bend them? The question isn't as easy as you may think. A research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Southern California, using a unique X-ray probe, has gathered the first... view more (2006-08-07)

Hammering sheet metal into shape
The tool at the pressing plant resonantly pounds the sheet metal, ejecting the newly formed vehicle hood moments later. Although this operation runs like clockwork on the production line, it caused the developers of the metal-forming equipment many a headache, since sheet metal springs back... view more (2003-02-20)

Fingerprint analysis technique could be used to identify bombmakers
University of Leicester experts have held discussions with military personnel in Afghanistan following the discovery of new technology to identify fingerprints on metal.   view more (2008-08-27)

Renewed volcanic activity at the Phlegrean Fields tracked by Envisat
Satellite images acquired by ESA's Envisat satellite have revealed the volcanic region of the Phlegrean Fields, located in southern Italy near the city of Naples, has entered a new uplift phase.   view more (2006-08-22)

Breakthrough in greener solutions
Pioneering new solvent systems which are recyclable and environmentally compatible have been developed by researchers at the University of Leicester. The team, led by Drs Andy Abbott and David Davies, has developed a wide range of new solvents made from bulk commodity materials such as urea (a... view more (2002-12-20)

First direct mechanical communication of mitochondria, cardiomyocyte nucleus shown
In a paper being presented in two American Physiological Society sessions at Experimental Biology 2006, a joint Estonian-French team demonstrated "for the first time that mitochondria are able to induce nuclear deformation, suggesting that mitochondria may mechanically regulate nuclear... view more (2006-04-03)

MIT model simulates atomic processes in nanomaterials
Researchers from MIT, Georgia Institute of Technology and Ohio State University have developed a new computer modeling approach to study how materials behave under stress at the atomic level, offering insights that could help engineers design materials with an ideal balance between strength and... view more (2007-03-02)

Chemical industry helped by small invisible tube
Chemists at Utrecht University have developed a catalyst for fine chemistry. Tiny tubes of graphite are the carrier for this catalyst. PhD student Tijmen Ros successfully tested the catalyst with a standard reaction. Fellow researchers are now making the catalyst suitable for the production of... view more (2002-01-24)

New metal crystals, formed on a cotton assembly line
Appropriating cellulose fibers from cotton and crystallizing them, scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have grown never-before-seen configurations of metal crystals that show promise as components in biosensors, biological imaging, drug delivery and catalytic converters.   view more (2007-03-27)

Metal hazard from table wines
Potentially hazardous levels of metal ions are present in many commercially available wines. An analysis of reported levels of metals in wines from sixteen different countries, published in the open access Chemistry Central Journal, found that only those from Argentina, Brazil and Italy did not... view more (2008-10-30)

Joint research: Probing the mysteries of a surprisingly tough hydrogel
