Researchers find new mechanism governing particle growth in nanocomposites
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles.   view more (2005-09-01)

Non Fire Yet But The Sensors Snap Into Action
Russian researchers offer a fundamentally new approach to the development of gas sensors for fire-prevention detecting devices. In contrast to already known ones, these sensors allow to detect unerringly fire occurrence at its earliest stage. However, this is not a single advantage of the innovation or a sole field of application.   view more (2004-12-06)

More Than Meets the Eye: New Blue Light Nanocrystals
Berkeley Lab researchers have produced non-toxic magnesium oxide nanocrystals that efficiently emit blue light and could also play a role in long-term storage of carbon dioxide, a potential means of tempering the effects of global warming.   view more (2009-07-22)

A type of antioxidant may not be as safe as once thought
Certain preparations taken to enhance athletic performance or stave off disease contain an anti-oxidant that could cause harm.   view more (2007-09-05)

Pick your COX partners
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Queen's University, Ontario, Canada report in the online edition of Nature Medicine this week that the COX enzymes — well-known for their contrasting role in cardiovascular biology — interact physically to form a previously unrecognized biochemical partnership and... view more...

Genetic Variants Predict Recurrence of Bladder Cancer, Patient Survival
Scientists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have discovered genetic variations in the inflammation pathway that reduce the likelihood of recurrence and increase survival of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) who are treated with mainstream therapy.   view more (2009-04-21)

Breath or Urine Analysis May Detect Cancer, Diabetes
A future sensor may take away a patient's breath while simultaneously determining whether the patient has breast cancer, lung cancer, diabetes or asthma. A University of Missouri researcher is developing a device that will analyze breath or urine samples for volatile markers inside the body that indicate disease.   view more (2009-03-11)

Cell splits water via sunlight to produce hydrogen
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a unique photocatalytic cell that splits water to produce hydrogen and oxygen in water using sunlight and the power of a nanostructured catalyst.   view more (2007-05-03)

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)

Politicians Must Listen To The Scientists Or We Face Diasaster
The University of Surrey's School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences held their 'Festival of Research' to celebrate the world class research success of the School, and to facilitate new collaborations on June 18. Amongst the speakers for the event was the renowned world authority on food safety, Professor Hugh Pennington, Professor of... view more... (2004-06-28)

ASU professor 'follows the elements' to understand evolution in ancient oceans
In the search for life beyond Earth, scientists 'follow the water' to find places that might be hospitable. However, every home gardener knows that plants need more than water, or even sunshine.   view more (2008-12-08)

Turning Sunlight into Liquid Fuels: Berkeley Lab Researchers Create a Nano-sized Photocatalyst for Artificial Photosynthesis
For millions of years, green plants have employed photosynthesis to capture energy from sunlight and convert it into electrochemical energy. A goal of scientists has been to develop an artificial version of photosynthesis that can be used to produce liquid fuels from carbon dioxide and water.   view more (2009-03-11)

UBC researchers develop breakthrough technique to unlock the secret of plasmas
University of British Columbia researchers have developed a technique that brings scientists a big step closer to unlocking the secrets of the most abundant form of matter in the universe.   view more (2008-11-24)
