Nanoneedle is small in size, but huge in applications
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a membrane-penetrating nanoneedle for the targeted delivery of one or more molecules into the cytoplasm or the nucleus of living cells.   view more (2009-04-29)

Mars Express: no signal from Beagle 2 so far
ESA's Mars Express orbiter made its first attempt to establish contact with the Beagle 2 lander, after the two spacecraft separated on 19 December 2003. The orbiter made its first pass over the Beagle 2 landing site today at 13:13 CET, but could not pick up any signal from the tiny lander. More attempts to contact Beagle 2 are planned in the... view more... (2004-01-07)

Mobile phone companies aim for green light
A `traffic light` system that helps network operators assess how much consultation is needed when it comes to siting a new mobile phone mast plus training workshops for local authority officers and elected councillors are among the outcomes of a package of `Ten Commitments` to best practice developed by the UK?s five biggest mobile phone network... view more...

Mayo Clinic study tackles labeling errors
With a long-held commitment to continuously improving the quality and safety of patient care, Mayo Clinic researchers are recommending a new technologically-advanced labeling system aimed at reducing specimen labeling errors in a high-volume gastrointestinal endoscopy center   view more (2008-10-06)

Bone-Growing Nanomaterial Could Improve Orthopaedic Implants
For orthopaedic implants to be successful, bone must meld to the metal that these artificial hips, knees and shoulders are made of. A team of Brown University engineers, led by Thomas Webster, has discovered a new material that could significantly increase this success rate.   view more (2007-09-18)

Possible closest neutron star to Earth found
Using NASA's Swift satellite, McGill University and Penn State University astronomers have identified an object that is likely one of the closest neutron stars to Earth -- and possibly the closest.   view more (2007-08-21)

Carbon nanotube membranes allow super-fast fluid flow
Membranes composed of manmade carbon nanotubes permit a fluid flow nearly 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than conventional fluid flow theory would predict because of the nanotubes' nearly friction-free surface.   view more (2005-11-04)

Chandra independently determines Hubble constant
A critically important number that specifies the expansion rate of the Universe, the so-called Hubble constant, has been independently determined using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.   view more (2006-08-10)

Super sensitive gas detector goes down the nanotubes
When cells are under stress, they blow off steam by releasing minute amounts of nitrogen oxides and other toxic gases.   view more (2009-01-14)

Inexpensive plastic used in CDs could improve aircraft, computer electronics
If one University of Houston professor has his way, the inexpensive plastic now used to manufacture CDs and DVDs will one day soon be put to use in improving the integrity of electronics in aircraft, computers and iPhones.   view more (2009-05-18)

HRH The Prince of Wales to visit Jodrell Bank Observatory
HRH The Prince of Wales will visit The University of Manchester's Jodrell Bank Observatory in Cheshire on Monday, 28 April 2003, to commemorate the re-birth of its flagship Lovell Telescope following a major upgrade. The £2.5 million three-year upgrade saw the replacement of the 76-metre radio telescope's reflecting surface, which is now in... view more... (2003-04-25)

Using carbon nanotubes to seek and destroy anthrax toxin and other harmful proteins
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new way to seek out specific proteins, including dangerous proteins such as anthrax toxin, and render them harmless using nothing but light.   view more (2007-12-11)

Nuclear explosion on a dead star - astronomers probe aftermath
A team of astronomers from the UK and Germany have found that a nuclear explosion on the surface of a star 5,000 light years from Earth resulted in a blast wave moving at over 1,700 km per second (one thousand miles per second or almost four million miles per hour!).   view more (2006-07-20)

A Billion Year Ultra-Dense Memory Chip
When it comes to data storage, density and durability have always moved in opposite directions - the greater the density the shorter the durability.   view more (2009-06-04)

Pitt Researchers Create Nontoxic Clean-up Method for Common, Potentially Toxic Nano Materials
University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed the first natural, nontoxic method for biodegrading carbon nanotubes, a finding that could help diminish the environmental and health concerns that mar the otherwise bright prospects of the super-strong materials commonly used in products, from electronics to plastics.   view more (2008-12-17)

Chips for future multimedia radio systems
Millions of people surf the Internet, and their number is constantly increasing. But users regularly have to contend with bottlenecks when trying to access the net, or long periods of waiting while downloading sophisticated multimedia applications, such as video sequences for home learning. Radio systems provide a way to avoid the "traffic jam".... view more... (1999-09-03)

The Azov Sea: Radiation Recedes
Radioactive contamination of the Azov Sea has reached the level which existed before 1986 when the wreck of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant occurred. However, scientists state that regular check-ups of radio-ecological situation in the sea should be continued as the sea can be contaminated for the second time and this can happen even without... view more...

Derwent Information Annual Uk Company Patent Study Shows High-tech Companies Dominate Innovation
London, United Kingdom - The Derwent Information annual study into the number of basic patents filed in the UK during 2001 shows that technology companies dominated innovation. Derwent Information research reveals that out of the top ten ranked companies, by number of basic* patents filed, six filed a large number in the engineering technology... view more... (2002-07-01)

Radio Telescopes Reveal Unseen Galactic Cannibalism
Radio-telescope images have revealed previously-unseen galactic cannibalism -- a triggering event that leads to feeding frenzies by gigantic black holes at the cores of galaxies. Astronomers have long suspected that the extra-bright cores of spiral galaxies called Seyfert galaxies are powered by supermassive black holes consuming material.... view more... (2008-06-24)
