It's raining pentagons
This week's Nature Materials (09 March 2009) reveals how an international team of scientists led by researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at UCL have discovered a novel one dimensional ice chain structure built from pentagons that may prove to be a step toward the development of new materials which can be used to seed clouds... view more...

Exposure to radiation after Chornobyl increases risk of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents
In a study of thyroid cancer after the Chornobyl accident in 1986, researchers at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health report that exposure to radioactive iodine ingested through the food chain increases the risk of thyroid cancer in children and adolescents. view more (2006-07-06)
Hybrid molecule causes cancer cells to self-destruct
By joining a sugar to a short-chain fatty acid compound, Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a two-pronged molecular weapon that kills cancer cells in lab tests. view more (2007-01-04)
A common denominator of inflammations and fatty liver
Many cancer patients lose a lot of weight during their disease: Fat and muscle mass are reduced, free fatty acids accumulate in the liver, and this eventually leads to fatty liver in affected patients. view more (2008-05-28)
Chemistry & Industry Magazine - 16 August Issue
NEWS Brain’s grammar function separates us from apes (page 5) Until now there has been no comprehensive and scientific evidence to explain why monkeys and humans are so different, despite having a mere 1.23% difference in their genome but researchers in Japan have discovered that humans possess a grammar function whereas monkeys do not. It... view more... (2002-08-14)
A paradigm shift in immune response regulation
Over the past decade various pieces of the puzzle how signal transmission controls immunity have been coming together. view more (2009-03-20)
How Did That Chain Letter Get To My Inbox?
Everyone who has an e-mail account has probably received a forwarded chain letter promising good luck if the message is forwarded on to others--or terrible misfortune if it isn't. The sheer volume of forwarded messages such as chain letters, online petitions, jokes and other materials leads to a simple question--how do these messages reach so many... view more... (2008-05-19)
Leeds researchers reshape the future of drug discovery
Scientists in Leeds have devised a new way to create the next generation of man-made molecules in a breakthrough that could revolutionise drug development. view more (2008-11-19)
Bent tectonics
More than 80 undersea volcanoes and a multitude of islands are dotted along the Hawaii-Emperor seamount chain like pearls on a necklace. A sharp bend in the middle is the only blemish. view more (2009-04-03)
Marine life stirs ocean enough to affect climate, says FSU study
Oceanographers worldwide pay close attention to phytoplankton and with good reason. The microscopic plants that form the vast foundation of the marine food chain generate a staggering amount of power. view more (2006-10-16)
Virginia Tech chemists create new polymers by adding DNA base pairs
Chemists at Virginia Tech are creating new polymers by adding DNA base pairs. Attributes include improved stretchable behavior and self-healing polymer films and coatings. view more (2006-09-13)
How mitochondrial gene defects impair respiration, other major life functions
Researchers are delving into abnormal gene function in mitochondria, structures within cells that power our lives. Mitochondria are the place where energy is generated from the most basic molecules of food. Because this function is essential to life, defects in mitochondria may affect a wide range of organ systems in humans and animals. view more (2009-09-25)
LGC selects £500k Bruker Daltonics instrument to expand its mass spectrometry capability
LGC, the UK`s leading independent analytical laboratory providing chemical, biochemical and DNA analysis, has purchased a new Bruker Daltonics APEX III 47e Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometer (FTMS). This instrument, with its exceptionally high mass accuracy and resolution, will be used to characterise high molecular weight materials, especially... view more... (2002-06-10)
Lorenzo's oil shows promise in reducing risk of debilitating disease in genetic disorder
Treatment of boys with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) with Lorenzo's oil (LO) reduced their risk of developing the severe debilitating form of the disease, according to a study in the July issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-07-12)
Antimalarial substances found in New Caledonian sponges
Living organisms are an enormous reservoir of natural compounds potentially active against viruses, bacteria or cancerous cells, that could lead to the development of new medicines. Out of about 145 000 natural substances described today, 10% come from marine organisms. Among the few such organisms studied for their chemical composition, sponges... view more... (2004-07-13)
Crystal structure enables tailoring of pharmaceuticals against asthma
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have managed to elucidate the crystal structure of a human membrane protein - LTC4 synthase - which has a major influence on the development of asthma. view more (2007-07-17)
A molecular switch turns on the flame in 'nature's blowtorch'
Uncontrolled reaction of organic compounds with oxygen is easy: we call it fire. But nature often needs to do oxidations very specifically, adding oxygen to a particular carbon atom in a complicated molecule without disturbing anything else. view more (2008-05-30)
Bid To Aid Diagnosis Of Infections In Joint Replacement Surgery
A team of scientists and doctors at the University of Edinburgh are using new laboratory techniques which will lead to improved treatment for patients experiencing problems with joint replacement. The multi-disciplinary team will try to establish if using molecular techniques can set a 'gold standard' to allow doctors to know before surgery is... view more... (2002-04-24)
New Effects Of Herbicides On Plants
The aim of Navarre engineer Ana Zabalza Azn'¡rez's PhD thesis - entitled "The inhibition of the biosynthesis of amino acids in ramified chain and their use as a target-site for herbicides" - was to find out what effects herbicides produce on the metabolism of plants so as to enable a more rational use of them. view more...
