Molecular engineers consult nature
Nature has been manipulating structures on the atomic and molecular scale for millions of years, in comparison humans have only been developing these techniques over the last few decades. Molecular engineering builds structures and devices at the smallest scales imaginable, aiming to make better materials, new types of information technologies,... view more... (2002-09-10)

Scientists identify molecular cause for one form of deafness
Scientists exploring the physics of hearing have found an underlying molecular cause for one form of deafness, and a conceptual connection between deafness and the organization of liquid crystals, which are used in flat-panel displays.   view more (2007-02-06)

EU Funding Success For Pioneering Water Quality Software Project
A project funded in part by the European Union's Information Society Technologies (IST) programme (part of the EU's 5th Framework Programme FP5) is developing software which will revolutionise information services used in marine management along UK coasts and estuaries. Partners in the I-MARQ (Information System for Marine Aquatic Resource... view more... (2003-01-16)

Biochemists reveal details of mysterious bacterial microcompartments
UCLA biochemists and colleagues have answered an important question about the structure of microcompartments - the mysterious molecular machines that seem to be present in a wide variety of pathogens and other bacteria.   view more (2008-02-22)

EU Funding Helps Pioneer the Biggest TV Boom In History
