Tea tree oil and silver together make more effective antiseptics
In the fight against infected skin wounds, mixing tea tree oil and silver or putting them in liposomes, (small spheres made from natural lipids), greatly increases their antimicrobial activity and may minimise any side effects. view more (2009-03-30)
Fullerenes: optimising surfaces for anti-wear applications
The problem of the tribological behaviour of materials had focussed on either improving friction or prioritising less wear and tear. The target of FOREMOST project ("FOREMOST: fullerene-based opportunities for robust engineering: making optimised surfaces for tribology") is to achieve both effects simultaneously and, tot his end, the... view more...

Inside rocks, implications for finding life on Mars
If a future space mission to Mars brings rocks back to Earth, Schopf said the techniques he has used, called confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, could enable scientists to look at microscopic fossils inside the rocks to search for signs of life, such as organic cell walls. view more (2006-02-01)
A new discovery helps us to understand the complex nature of earthquakes
Álvaro Corral, a physicist at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has discovered that the structure of the recurrence time of earthquakes, which is the time interval between successive earthquakes, is similar to the spatial structure of physics systems when they change phase in the "critical points". view more (2005-07-11)
Biomedical researchers create artificial human bone marrow in a test tube
Artificial bone marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has been created in a University of Michigan lab. view more (2008-12-23)
Optical technique provides improved 'virtual biopsies' of internal surfaces
A new optical imaging technique, developed at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), can provide three-dimensional microscopic views of the inner surfaces of blood vessels and gastrointestinal organs. view more (2006-11-20)
Living Metals
Using synchrotron x-ray microbeams, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart and the ESRF has been able to observe for the first time that the microscopic structure of a crystalline material fluctuates in time. The results are published today in Science Express with the title: Scaling in the Time Domain:... view more... (2005-04-22)
3D Molecular Sciences Announces IP Agreement with University of Hertfordshire
Cambridge, UK, 17th July 2002...3D Molecular Sciences Ltd (3DMS™), a recent spin-out from The Generics Group, has announced the strengthening of its patent estate in the area of optically readable encoded microscopic particles and 3D array bead-based technologies through an agreement with the University of Hertfordshire and Imperial College... view more...

Viruses hitch a ride in the cell
Viruses can travel around cells they infect by hitching a ride on a microscopic transport system, according to new research. Cells are exposed to foreign DNA and RNA and it is understood that some of this genetic material can be integrated into the host genome. Using modern microscopic techniques, scientists have been able to see how virus DNA is... view more... (2008-06-24)
NYU physicists find way to create three-dimensional quasicrystals
New York University physicists have applied a ground-breaking nanotechnology method to create three-dimensional quasicrystals, highly ordered structures that, unlike conventional crystals, never repeat themselves. view more (2005-07-12)
Cells, dyes and videotape: Online scientific methods journal incorporates multimedia
Observing the microscopic mysteries of embryos, cells, and chromosomes is feasible with advanced live imaging technologies. view more (2006-11-06)
UIC chemists characterize Alzheimer's neurotoxin structure
Amyloid plaques, the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease, are clumps of fiber-like misfolded proteins which many experts think cause this devastating neurodegenerative disease. view more (2007-12-04)
Fingerprints provide crucial clue to new nanofiber fabrication technique
Fingerprints are usually used to identify people but, this time, they gave Penn State chemical engineers the crucial clue needed to discover an easy, versatile new method for making nanofibers that have potential uses in advanced filtration as well as wound care, drug delivery, bioassays and other medical applications. view more (2006-01-27)
Nanospheres that block pain of sensitive teeth
Nanospheres could help dentists fill the tiny holes in our teeth that make them incredibly sensitive, and that cause severe pain for millions of adults and children worldwide. view more (2005-09-02)
UC Irvine scientists unveil the 'face' of a new memory
A century-old dream of neuroscientists to visualize a memory has been fulfilled, as University of California, Irvine researchers, using newly developing microscopic techniques, have captured first-time images of the changes in brain cell connections following a common form of learning. view more (2007-07-25)
Polarized particles join toolbox for building unique structures
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created polarized, spherical particles that spontaneously self-assemble into clusters with specific shapes and distributions of electric charge. view more (2006-10-13)
Nanotechnology enables low-dose treatment of atherosclerotic plaques
In laboratory tests, one very low dose of a drug was enough to show an effect on notoriously tenacious artery-clogging plaques. What kind of drug is that potent? view more (2006-07-28)
NYU physicists make room for oddballs
Here's a question. How many gumballs of different sizes can fit in one of those containers at the mall so as to reward a well-spent quarter? It's hard to believe that most people never consider it even when guessing the number of candies in a bowl at Halloween. view more (2009-08-04)
Old glass - a new material
Insulation materials used for sound insulation, as thermal cladding and in fire prevention play an important role in modern building. Ever since asbestos and a number of other building materials were identified as hazardous, demand has continually grown for non-fibrous building materials that do not present any risk to health. Researchers at the... view more... (1999-09-03)
Researchers use light to detect Alzheimer's
A team of researchers in Bedford, Mass. has developed a way of examining brain tissue with near-infrared light to detect signs of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2008-03-17)
