Terahertz waves are effective probes for IC heat barriers
By modifying a commonly used commercial infrared spectrometer to allow operation at long-wave terahertz frequencies, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) discovered an efficient new approach to measure key structural properties of nanoscale metal-oxide films used in high-speed integrated circuits. view more (2009-05-11)
A Different Antiviral For Treating SARS (p 2045)
A preliminary study published as a fast-track research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that the antiviral agent glycyrrhizin could be more effective than other antivirals in the treatment of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Ribavirin is the most commonly used antiviral for treating SARS infection, used in combination... view more... (2003-06-11)
Bigger is better when it comes to the G spot
DRUGS such as Viagra should work for some women- especially if they have a big G spot. This spot, famed for producing spectacular orgasms, turns out to be awash with the enzymes that these drugs act on. The term G spot, coined by Ernest Grafenberg in 1950, refers to an area a few centimetres up inside the vagina on the side closest to a woman`s... view more... (2002-07-03)
MIT forges greener path to iron production

University of the Basque Country researcher makes progress in optimising solid oxide fuel cells
While our standard of life increases, so does the worldwide energy demand. In this vein, the application of technologies based on fuel cells is put forward as an alternative to the massive consumption of fossil fuels. view more (2009-09-18)
Graphene oxide paper could spawn a new class of materials
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the discovery of paper revolutionized human communication. Now researchers at Northwestern University have fabricated a new type of paper that they hope will create a revolution of its own -- and while it won't replace your notepad, this remarkably stiff and strong yet lightweight material should find use in a wide variety... view more...

Action of nitroglycerin for chest pain may place some patients at risk
Definitive evidence to explain how the drug nitroglycerin relieves chest pain has resulted from a new study by Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators at Duke University Medical Center. view more (2005-08-16)
The Biochemist, June 2001 Edition, Theme: Take The Strain - Brain Degeneration
Older and wiser - Introduction by Elaine Snell Sadly, in the UK alone, one in every 100 people over the age of 65 years has Parkinson's disease. Globally, the number of people with Alzheimer's disease will double to 30 million in the next 30 years. By the middle of the century, the number of people over the age of 90 years will have trebled.... view more... (2001-06-01)
Nitrous oxide: definitely no laughing matter
Farmers, food suppliers, policy-makers, business leaders and environmentalists are joining forces to confront the threat of the 'forgotten greenhouse gas' by taking part in an influential new forum at the University of East Anglia (UEA). view more (2008-02-19)
Study explains why patients with OSA are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease
Researchers have found that patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have higher levels of a type of dead cells (apoptotic cells) from the lining (endothelium) of their blood vessels circulating in their bloodstream than people who do not have OSA. view more (2007-06-01)
Inhaling helps heal liver transplant recipients
A new report from a team of researchers at the University of Washington, Seattle, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham indicates that one of the main complications of liver transplantation can be treated very simply by allowing the transplant recipients to inhale nitric oxide (NO) during the operation in which they received their new liver. view more (2007-08-24)
MIT powers up new battery for hybrid cars
Researchers at MIT have developed a new type of lithium battery that could become a cheaper alternative to the batteries that now power hybrid electric cars. view more (2006-02-17)
Asian populations less likely to get relief from chest pain with nitroglycerin
Nitroglycerin, also called glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), has been widely used for the management of coronary heart disease, specifically angina and heart failure, for more than 130 years. view more (2006-01-27)
Heart-Healthy Compound in Chocolate Identified
In a multifaceted study involving the Kuna Indians of Panama, an international team of scientists has pinpointed a chemical compound that is, in part, responsible, for the heart-healthy benefits of certain cocoas and some chocolate products. view more (2006-01-20)
Argonne scientists use unique diamond anvils to view oxide glass structures under pressure
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have used a uniquely-constructed perforated diamond cell to investigate oxide glass structures at high pressures in unprecedented detail. view more (2007-11-09)
Researchers discover links between city walkability and air pollution exposure
A new study compares neighborhoods' walkability (degree of ease for walking) with local levels of air pollution and finds that some neighborhoods might be good for walking, but have poor air quality. view more (2009-11-03)
NIST and partners identify tiny gold clusters as top-notch catalysts
For most of us, gold is only valuable if we possess it in large-sized pieces. However, the "bigger is better" rule isn't the case for those interested in exploiting gold's exceptional ability to catalyze a wide variety of chemical reactions, including the oxidation of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) into harmless carbon dioxide at room... view more...

Air pollution may increase lung cancer risk
Chronic air pollution may increase the risk of lung cancer, suggests a Norwegian study of over 16,000 men in Thorax. Researchers monitored the health of 16, 209 men from 1972 until 1998. The men, all of whom lived in Oslo, were taking part in long term research on risk factors for heart disease and stroke. They were aged between 40 and 49 at the... view more... (2003-12-03)
