Compact, wavelength-on-demand Quantum Cascade Laser chip offers ultra-sensitive chemical sensing
Engineers from Harvard University have demonstrated a highly versatile, compact and portable Quantum Cascade Laser sensor for the fast detection of a large number of chemicals, ranging from infinitesimal traces of gases to liquids, by broad tuning of the emission wavelength. view more (2007-12-04)
Mouse genome will help identify causes of environmental disease
Research on the DNA of 15 mouse strains commonly used in biomedical studies is expected to help scientists determine the genes related to susceptibility to environmental disease. view more (2007-07-30)
University of Pennsylvania Chemists Reinvent the Science and Industry of Making Plastics
Chemists at the University of Pennsylvania have created a new process for free radical polymerization, the chemical reaction responsible for creating an enormous array of everyday plastic products, from Styrofoam cups to PVC tubing to car parts. view more (2006-10-13)
Polar neutrino observatory takes a big step forward
An international team of scientists and engineers has taken a major step toward completion of what will be the world's preeminent cosmic neutrino observatory, harnessing a sophisticated hot-water drill to build an observatory under the South Pole that eventually will encompass a cubic kilometer of ice. view more (2006-03-22)
New technology will allow for flexible television and computer screens
Organic light emitting diodes (OLED) are the technology used in making light emitting fabrics used in cell phones and televisions. view more (2006-05-12)
Molecular memory a game-changer
A team at Rice University has determined that a strip of graphite only 10 atoms thick can serve as the basic element in a new type of memory, making massive amounts of storage available for computers, handheld media players, cell phones and cameras. view more (2008-11-24)
Starburst galaxy sheds light on longstanding cosmic mystery
An international collaboration that includes scientists from the University of Delaware's Bartol Research Institute in the Department of Physics and Astronomy has discovered very-high-energy gamma rays in the Cigar Galaxy (M82), a bright galaxy filled with exploding stars 12 million light years from Earth. view more (2009-11-03)
Caltech scientists create robot surrogate for blind persons in testing visual prostheses
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created a remote-controlled robot that is able to simulate the "visual" experience of a blind person who has been implanted with a visual prosthesis, such as an artificial retina. view more (2009-10-20)
Cholesterol could be key to treating fetal alcohol syndrome
Small amounts of alcohol can interfere with the growth of a fetus, but added cholesterol may help prevent a wide array of neurological and physical defects from alcohol exposure, according to a new study in laboratory fish. view more (2007-03-09)
Poverty increases risk of complications and death after bypass surgery
Poverty increases the risk of complications and death after heart bypass surgery, finds research in Heart. The researchers base their findings on over 3500 patients in need of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) at one hospital unit between 1996 and 2000. Almost half of the unit's referrals (40%) are drawn from a wide area across south west... view more... (2003-08-14)
Neural mapping paints a haphazard picture of odor receptors
Despite the striking aromatic differences between coffee, peppermint, and pine, a new mapping of the nose's neural circuitry suggests a haphazard patchwork where the receptors for such disparate scents are as likely as not to be neighbors. view more (2009-02-04)
MIT: 'Nanostitching' could strengthen airplane skins, more
MIT engineers are using carbon nanotubes only billionths of a meter thick to stitch together aerospace materials in work that could make airplane skins and other products some 10 times stronger at a nominal increase in cost. view more (2009-03-05)
LLNL researchers peer into water in carbon nanotubes
Researchers have identified a signature for water inside single-walled carbon nanotubes, helping them understand how water is structured and how it moves within these tiny channels. view more (2008-06-26)
Media invitation: Why everyone should be a cyborg
It's every technophobe's nightmare and the stuff of all the Terminator movies but Professor Kevin Warwick has always wanted to become the world's very first cyborg. And now he wants everyone else to join him! Not content with being able to control an electric wheelchair and an intelligent artificial hand (using a one hundred electrode array which... view more...

Cerium oxide nanotubes get noticed
Chemists and materials scientists often study "nanotubes" - capsule-shaped molecules only a few billionths of a meter (nanometers) in width. view more (2006-03-29)
Nose-on-a-chip Aims To Mimic The Real Thing
An ambitious project is underway to build the world's smallest electronic nose. If the project succeeds, it is expected that the technology would have many potential applications in areas such as environmental monitoring, healthcare and food safety. The aim is to combine the odour sensors together with the signal processing components on to a... view more... (2002-03-04)
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)
Perfecting a solar cell by adding imperfections
Nanotechnology is paving the way toward improved solar cells. New research shows that a film of carbon nanotubes may be able to replace two of the layers normally used in a solar cell, with improved performance at a lower cost. Researchers have found a surprising way to give the nanotubes the properties they need: add defects. view more (2008-06-17)
Most human-chimp differences due to gene regulation - not genes
The vast differences between humans and chimpanzees are due more to changes in gene regulation than differences in individual genes themselves, researchers from Yale, the University of Chicago, and the Hall Institute in Parkville, Victoria, Australia, argue in the 9 March 2006 issue of the journal Nature. view more (2006-03-09)
Media Invite: Spinal Research Centre Open Day 7th July
Director of the Spinal Research Centre, Professor Michael Craggs, is hosting an open day of the Spinal Research Centre at the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, Stanmore. The research strategy of the SRC is based upon a number of key research programmes, which cover all aspects of the needs of patients with dysfunction of the spine or spinal... view more...
