Researchers push nature beyond its limits to create higher-density biofuels
For the first time, researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have successfully pushed nature beyond its limits by genetically modifying Escherichia coli, a bacterium often associated with food poisoning, to produce unusually long-chain alcohols essential in the creation of biofuels. view more (2008-12-19)
DNA sieve -- Nanoscale pores can be tiny analysis labs
Imagine being able to rapidly identify tiny biological molecules such as DNA and toxins using less than a drop of salt water in a system that can fit on a microchip. view more (2007-05-14)
Evidence for omega 3 fats less conclusive than we thought, say experts
A study published online by the BMJ today doesn't find evidence of a clear benefit of omega 3 fats on health. view more (2006-03-24)
Adding fatty acids to formula milk may cut heart disease in later life
Adding long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to infant formula milk is associated with lower blood pressure later in childhood, and may cut the risk of heart disease in adult life, finds a study in this week's BMJ. In a 1992 trial, 111 newborn infants were fed with a formula containing long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFAs) and 126... view more... (2003-04-30)
Omega-3s boost grey matter, findings may explain why omega-3s seem to improve mood
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish like salmon, are associated with increased grey matter volume in areas of the brain commonly linked to mood and behavior according to a University of Pittsburgh study. view more (2007-03-07)
Emory scientists discover unique binding method for essential cellular protein ubiquitin
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have uncovered new information about the molecular pathway used by ubiquitin, an essential protein that helps regulate the amounts and locations of other proteins within cells. view more (2006-03-24)
Wireless data transfer to aid newspaper carriers
Every night 2.1 million newspapers are delivered to mailboxes in Finland. In order to make the delivery even more effortless, wireless data transfer will be harnessed to aid newspaper carriers. In the three-year TLX technology programme recently completed by Tekes, the Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT) has investigated methods of wireless... view more... (2002-04-10)
Carnegie Mellon urges industry to broaden carbon footprint calculations
Carnegie Mellon University researchers are urging companies to embrace new methods for following the trail of dangerous carbon emissions that are responsible for much of the world's global warming threats. view more (2008-08-18)
Food shortages threaten Antarctic wildlife
Antarctic whales, seals and penguins could be threatened by food shortages in the Southern Ocean. Numbers of Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba), a shrimp-like crustacean at the heart of the food chain, are declining. The most likely explanation is a dramatic decline in sea-ice. The results are published this week in the journal Nature. view more (2004-11-01)
Centre for logistics software and Auto-ID
Was the cooling chain interrupted at some point during transportation? Such information will in future be stored on RFID tags, a clear improvement on inflexible bar codes. Researchers are working hand in hand with industry to gather more data on appropriate applications. view more (2004-10-04)
Joint research: Probing the mysteries of a surprisingly tough hydrogel
Some 46 million people suffer from arthritis in the United States alone. The worst cases require painful surgeries to drill holes in and reinforce joints. view more (2008-03-12)
Overfishing puts Southern California kelp forest ecosystems at risk, report scientists
Kelp forest ecosystems that span the West Coast -- from Alaska to Mexico's Baja Peninsula -- are at greater risk from overfishing than from the effects of run-off from fertilizers or sewage on the shore. view more (2006-05-26)
New network model helped 18 of 20 leave abuse behind
A new report, "Part of a Context," presents successful outcomes in the rehabilitation of female substance abusers with the help of a network model used at Fortuna House in V'¤rnamo, Sweden. The project helped 18 of 20 women out of their abuse, that is, 90 percent. "Considering the clients we have, these results are... view more... (2005-03-29)
Antibody to a naturally-occurring sugar chain in colon inhibits inflammatory bowel disease
A collaboration led by the Burnham Institute for Medical Research has found that an antibody which binds to an unusual sugar molecule residing in the gut halts the inflammation seen in Crohn's disease and other intestinal inflammations. view more (2005-10-07)
NIST team proves bridge from conventional to molecular electronics possible
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have set the stage for building the "evolutionary link" between the microelectronics of today built from semiconductor compounds and future generations of devices made largely from complex organic molecules. view more (2008-03-19)
