International nanobiotechnology project launch at the University of Kent
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)
Contact lenses inside the eyes
INASMET Foundation, a member of the TECNALIA Corporation from the Basque Country, is currently carrying out research on intraocular lenses. In fact, INASMET presented two projects at the 17th European Congress on Biomaterials held in Barcelona. Apart from publishing the results of a comparative study on intraocular lenses, they presented a... view more... (2003-01-03)
The optimal stuff
Most chaotic systems are hard to grasp. This is also true of the snarls of fibers found in filters, fabrics and insulation material that filtrate solutions, absorb noise or retain heat. Manufacturers typically approach product development by trial and error. What they expect to see as a result is more a question of experience than what they... view more... (2003-04-24)
Beyond batteries: Storing power in a sheet of paper
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new energy storage device that easily could be mistaken for a simple sheet of black paper. view more (2007-08-14)
New joint replacement material developed at MGH put to first clinical use
Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) surgeons have performed the first total hip replacement using a joint socket lined with a novel material invented at the MGH. view more (2007-07-24)
Mathematicians find way to improve medical scans
Mathematicians at the University of Liverpool have found that it is possible to gain full control of sound waves which could lead to improved medical scans, for technology such as ultra sound machines. view more (2008-01-08)
Phantoms give a clearer picture of radiation effects
A new generation of realistic models of the human body could give radiation scientists and medical workers a better view of how exposure to radiation affects different internal organs. These so-called "voxel phantoms" offer a new way to reveal the effects of radioactive particles that have been ingested or breathed in or otherwise entered the... view more... (2002-10-18)
High-pressure compound could be key to hydrogen-powered vehicles
A hydrogen-rich compound discovered by Stanford researchers is packed with promise of helping overcome one of the biggest hurdles to using hydrogen for fuel--namely, how do you stuff enough hydrogen into a volume that is small enough to be portable and practical for powering a car? view more (2009-05-11)
Lithium battery cathodes being made using novel sol-gel method
Lithium batteries increasingly permeate our lives in all manner of electrical devices. Researchers from Thailand report on a study that investigates the use of the sol-gel method to produce battery cathodes from a new material. view more (2005-09-27)
Advances in the Separation of Nucleosides
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Inorganic Chemistry have devised a method for the selective separation and recovery of nucleoside phosphates from complex reaction mixtures using Layered Double Hydroxide (LDH) materials. Nucleoside phosphates are used extensively in industry as intermediates or additives in nutraceutical and... view more... (2003-02-11)
Component of asphalt eyed as new fuel source
The pavement material that cars drive on may wind up in their fuel tanks as scientists seek ways of transforming asphaltenes - the main component of asphalt - into an abundant new source of fuel. view more (2009-09-24)
Building blocks of life formed on Mars
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen and form the building blocks of all life on Earth. By analyzing organic material and minerals in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001, scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory have shown for the first time that building blocks of life formed on Mars early in its history. view more (2007-12-12)
Researchers Create Catalysts for Use in Hydrogen Storage Materials
A team of scientists from Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Uppsala in Sweden, and the Savannah River National Laboratory have identified that carbon nanostructures can be used as catalysts to store and release hydrogen, a finding that may point researchers toward developing the right material for hydrogen storage for use in cars. view more (2009-03-25)
Novel processing of Yttrium Aluminum Garnet promises improved raw materials for lasers
Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) is an important material used in the production of laser systems, for coating electronic devices, for tubes of cathodic rays and recently it has been considered as a suitable material for structural applications at high temperatures. view more (2005-10-19)
Wire brushes which are protective
The Gipuzkoa-based basque company, Jaz-Zubiaurre, S. A., together with Gaiker Technology Centre, has developed and patented an innovative safety system for part of its range of metal brushes so as to prevent the wire projections or the foreign bodies arising during their use from reaching the operator. This novel design for a product, manufactured... view more... (2003-04-04)
Theory stretches the limits of composite materials
In an advance that could lead to composite materials with virtually limitless performance capabilities, a University of Wisconsin-Madison scientist has dispelled a 50-year-old theoretical notion that composite materials must be made only of "stable" individual materials to be stable overall. view more (2007-02-01)
First tri-continuous mesoporous Silica complex structure developed in Singapore
Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) has developed the first tri-continuous mesoporous material using a unique surfactant template. view more (2009-04-06)
New coating is virtual black hole for reflections
Researchers have created an anti-reflective coating that allows light to travel through it, but lets almost none bounce off its surface. At least 10 times more effective than the coating on sunglasses or computer monitors, the material, which is made of silica nanorods, may be used to channel light into solar cells or allow more photons to surge... view more...

Sewerage sludge-A new raw material for cement production?
Korean ceramics researchers have recently investigated the potential for using sewerage sludge in cement production. Their research looks at the possibility of effective reutilization of sewage sludge into cement kiln processes. view more (2005-09-27)
Self-repairing materials
Will the day come when cracks in buildings close up without external help and before they get to the stage where they cause damage to the component? view more (2008-04-18)
