Spaghetti gets knotted
A new and novel way of localising the breakage point in a rope or string is described today in New Journal of Physics, published jointly by the Institute of Physics and the German Physical Society. Spaghetti lubricated in olive oil is shedding light on why knotted ropes or strings used by sailors, anglers and mountaineers snap where and when they... view more... (2001-06-08)
UW paper in Science shows how some solids mimic liquids on nanoscale
A University of Waterloo physics and astronomy research team, in a paper to be published Friday in Science Magazine, shows how some solids behave like liquids on the nanoscale. view more (2008-02-04)
The future of the world with materials science and engineering
"The next generation of biomaterials will actually help direct the healing process," says Dr Richard France from the University of Sheffield, UK. "Materials will be able to interact with individual cells by responding to specific chemical signals - making more natural and effective repairs to our bodies." One such advancement... view more...

Teen smokers influenced by movie star smokers
Teen smokers are influenced to take up the habit if their favourite movie stars are smokers, suggests research in Tobacco Control. Teenagers, aged 10 to 19, were surveyed about their smoking habits and their attitudes to smoking. These were scored on a five point scale. The teens were also asked to name their favourite movie star. Altogether, 632... view more... (2001-02-23)
University of Miami physicist develops battery using new source of energy
Researchers at the University of Miami and at the Universities of Tokyo and Tohoku, Japan, have been able to prove the existence of a "spin battery," a battery that is "charged" by applying a large magnetic field to nano-magnets in a device called a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ). view more (2009-03-12)
Proteins in gel
Several thousand test fields are tightly packed together on the tiny surface of a biochip. They permit the rapid analysis of substances, e.g. for diagnosing allergens in the blood. view more (2009-06-25)
Patients With Panic Are Less Likely To Relapse If They Had Psychotherapy In Addition To Drug Treatment
Two researchers of the University of Roma report on the importance of psychological treatment in preventing relapse of panic. Many short-term trials suggested that the combination of psychotherapy with medication might be more effective than either treatment alone. However, only few studies examined the long-term effectiveness of this combination.... view more... (2003-01-13)
Multi-million pound investment to help the UK cash in on nanotechnology
Science and Innovation Minister Lord Sainsbury today announced a cash injection of £90 million over the next six years to help industry harness the commercial opportunities offered by nanotechnology. The £90 million will be spent on collaborative research and a new network of micro and nanotechnology facilities. This will help... view more... (2003-07-02)
Safety experts ill-equipped to handle nanotechnology in workplace

An international project in nanobiotechnology is being launched at the University of Kent 30-31 January 2005. The project's primary objectives are the establishment and maintenance of a European centre of excellence in the area and it is funded for five-years in the first instance. Novel and Improved Nanomaterials, Chemistries and Apparatus for... view more... (2005-01-11)
Microprinting Technique for Patterning Single Molecules
A new process for creating patterns of individual molecules on a surface combines control of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and a soft lithography technique known as microcontact printing. view more (2007-02-05)
Air technology goes underground for £1 million tunnel strengthening project
UK researchers are pioneering £1 million project which could make costly, large-scale disruption of the Underground, due to structural improvements, a thing of the past. view more (1998-09-04)
What makes Mars magnetic?
Earth's surface is a very active place; its plates are forever jiggling around, rearranging themselves into new configurations. Continents collide and mountains arise, oceans slide beneath continents and volcanoes spew. view more (2007-08-13)
Finding about cellular microtubule rigidity could lead to development of new nano-materials
Microtubules, essential structural elements in living cells, grow stiffer as they grow longer, an unexpected property that could lead to advances in nano-materials development, an international team of biophysicists has found. view more (2006-07-12)
