Study shows isolation of stem cells may lead to a treatment for hearing loss
Have you ever walked by someone listening to their i-Pod loud enough for you recognize the song? Studies have shown noise-induced hearing loss is going to become the next big epidemic affecting our younger generation though the effects won't show until it is too late to treat. view more (2007-04-06)
Factor stimulates cartilage growth from stem cells
A novel growth factor significantly improves the ability of specialized stem cells derived from human fat to be transformed into cartilage cells, according to Duke University Medical Center and Pratt School of Engineering researchers. view more (2006-04-05)
Microrobots dance on something smaller than a pin's head
Microscopic robots crafted to maneuver separately without any obvious guidance are now assembling into self-organized structures after years of continuing research led by a Duke University computer scientist. view more (2008-06-03)
Researchers create a broadband light amplifier on a chip
Cornell researchers have created a broadband light amplifier on a silicon chip, a major breakthrough in the quest to create photonic microchips. In such microchips, beams of light traveling through microscopic waveguides will replace electric currents traveling through microscopic wires. view more (2006-07-07)
Bioclocks work by controlling chromosome coiling
In recent years, scientists have discovered that biological clocks help organize a dizzying array of biochemical processes in the body. Despite a number of hypotheses, exactly how the microscopic pacemakers in every cell in the body exert such a widespread influence has remained a mystery. view more (2007-11-26)
Photonic Crystals in 3-D - The Physics Congress 2003
Telecoms systems contain an awkward mixture of optics and electronics. A purely optical system would permit the very high data rates needed by the Internet, but at the moment the switching and routing, as well as the "last mile" to the customer, still depend on slower electronic components. Speaking at the Institute of Physics Congress... view more... (2003-03-17)
Scientists: New technique identifies molecular 'biomarkers' for disease
University of Florida chemists are the first to use a new tool to identify the molecular signatures of serious diseases -- without any previous knowledge of what these microscopic signatures or "biomarkers" should look like. view more (2008-04-01)
New molecular force probe stretches molecules, atom by atom
Chemists at the University of Illinois have created a simple and inexpensive molecular technique that replaces an expensive atomic force microscope for studying what happens to small molecules when they are stretched or compressed. view more (2009-03-30)
Prehistoric global warming may have contributed to fossil preservation
Prehistoric global warming episodes from massive atmospheric pollution involving carbon dioxide and methane could have created and preserved "mass kills" of wildlife, according to a University of Oregon study presented at the Geological Society of America's annual meeting. view more (2005-10-13)
UCSB researchers show how to make polymeric micro- and nanoparticles
Researchers in the College of Engineering at UC Santa Barbara have discovered how to make polymeric micro- and nanoparticles in a wide variety of different shapes and sizes using commonly-available lab chemicals and equipment. view more (2007-07-10)
Salk researchers develop novel glioblastoma mouse model
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have developed a versatile mouse model of glioblastoma-the most common and deadly brain cancer in humans-that closely resembles the development and progression of human brain tumors that arise naturally. view more (2009-01-05)
Computer simulation shows buckyballs deform DNA
Soccer-ball-shaped "buckyballs" are the most famous players on the nanoscale field, presenting tantalizing prospects of revolutionizing medicine and the computer industry. view more (2005-12-06)
Nanotech Clay Armour Creates Fire Resistant Hard Wearing Latex Emulsion Paints
Researchers at the University of Warwick's Department of Chemistry have found a way of replacing the soap used to stabilize latex emulsion paints with nanotech sized clay armour that can create a much more hard wearing and fire resistant paint. view more (2007-07-27)
New nanochemistry technique encases single molecules in microdroplets
Inventing a useful new tool for creating chemical reactions between single molecules, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have employed microfluidics-the manipulation of fluids at the microscopic scale-to make microdroplets that contain single molecules of interest. view more (2009-09-23)
NIST gears up to verify short range 3-D imaging
Three-dimensional imaging devices are becoming important measuring tools in the manufacturing, construction and transportation sectors. view more (2006-05-01)
H-Museum - H-NET Network for Museums Professionals
H-Museum (ISSN 1618 - 0534) is a moderated mailing list and information forum. This means that texts are reviewed by an editorial panel, revised if necessary and only then transmitted. The manager of the list will ensure that the contents meet academic standards and prevent their use for commercial, non-academic or non-relevant purposes. The... view more... (2002-07-03)
Developing unique brain maps to assist surgery and research
Researchers from the Howard Florey Institute in Melbourne are developing new technology to create individualised brain maps that will revolutionise diagnosis of disease and enhance the accuracy of brain surgery. view more (2008-06-17)
New method for detecting explosives
A group of researchers in Tennessee and Denmark has discovered a way to sensitively detect explosives based on the physical properties of their vapors. Their technology, which is currently being developed into prototype devices for field testing, is described in the latest issue of the journal Review of Scientific Instruments, which is published... view more...

Are nanobots on their way?
The first real steps towards building a microscopic device that can construct nano machines have been taken by US researchers. Writing in the peer-reviewed publication, International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers, researchers describe an early prototype for a nanoassembler. view more (2008-04-29)
Europeanisation has made UK more environmentally friendly than expected
The UK has become much more environmentally friendly towards plants, animals and their habitats thanks to thirty years of Europeanisation, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA), published this week. Dr Andy Jordan and Jenny Fairbrass of UEA's Centre for Social and Economic Research on the Global Environment (CSERGE)... view more... (2001-07-31)
