Mouse stem cell line advance suggests potential for IVF-incompetent eggs
Researchers have found that mouse oocytes that fail to become fertilized during in vitro fertilization are nevertheless often capable of succeeding as "cytoplasmic donors" during a subsequent cloning step using so-called nuclear transfer.   view more (2007-02-20)

Chemical Could Revolutionize Polymer Fuel Cells
Heat has always been a problem for fuel cells. There's usually either too much (ceramic fuel cells) for certain portable uses, such as automobiles or electronics, or too little (polymer fuel cells) to be efficient.   view more (2005-08-25)

ESA develops a smarter way to travel through space
As scientists demand more from space missions travelling to other worlds and beyond, traditional rocket technologies are beginning to show shortcomings. In response, ESA are helping to develop a new type of rocket engine, known as solar-electric propulsion, or more commonly, an ion engine, that can... view more (2002-06-11)

Statin use associated with reduced risk of common type of cataract

Nature at the femto-scale - a new booklet from FINUPHY
A non-expert's guide to European research into the nucleus and its applications To explain the exciting programme of European nuclear research, FINUPHY (Frontiers in Nuclear Physics) has produced a booklet which presents the science and applications at a non-expert level. Scientists already... view more (2004-05-27)

UW-Madison hybrid-vehicle team places second nationally
A group of engineering students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has spent the last three years building one of the cleanest and most fuel-efficient SUVs in North America.   view more (2006-06-09)

First semiconductor-based PET scanner demonstrates potential to aid in early diagnosis of disease
Evaluations of the first-ever prototype positron emission tomography (PET) brain scanner that uses semiconductor detectors indicate that the scanner could advance the quality and spatial resolution of PET imaging, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting.   view more (2008-06-17)

Cosmic radiation associated with risk of cataract in airline pilots
Airline pilots have an increased risk of nuclear cataracts-common type of cataract, associated with aging-compared with non-pilots, and that risk is associated with cumulative exposure to cosmic radiation.   view more (2005-08-09)

Government energy policy unrealistic, says Academy
The Government's energy policy is hopelessly unrealistic, expecting far too much from renewable energy sources and ignoring serious concerns about reliable gas supplies, the Royal Academy of Engineering has told Energy Minister Brian Wilson MP in a report published today (30 August). The Academy's... view more (2002-08-28)

LLNL researchers create tool to monitor nuclear reactors
International inspectors may have a new tool in the form of an antineutrino detector, that could help them peer inside a working nuclear reactor.   view more (2008-03-13)

NIST's new advanced imaging facility peers inside hydrogen fuel cells
Thanks to a new and improved imaging instrument at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), scientists now can conduct detailed surveillance on the comings and goings of water inside hydrogen fuel cells-a piece of intelligence key to making the technology... view more (2006-08-21)

Sandia aids cleanup of Iraqi nuclear facilities, rad waste
Sandia scientists are helping train Iraqi scientists and technicians to clean up radioactively contaminated sites and safely dispose of the radioactive wastes as part of the Iraqi Nuclear Facility Dismantlement and Disposal Program.   view more (2008-10-21)

UK petrol-buying behaviour probed by Imperial researchers
New research out today by Imperial College researchers shows that increasing petrol price reduces fuel consumption - but rising incomes and falls in other motoring costs are presently increasing the demand for petrol and the amount of traffic on UK roads. The study, carried out by Professor Stephen... view more (2000-09-29)

Tiny fuel cell might replace batteries in laptop computers, portable electronics
If you're frustrated by frequently losing battery power in your laptop computer, digital camera or portable music player, then take heart: A better source of "juice" is in the works.   view more (2006-09-13)

Americium Travels Along The Rivers
The Moscow radiochemists have developed and applied in practice new methods for analysis of transuranium elements in the environment objects. With the help of the most up-to-date techniques, they have investigated in detail the americium and plutonium migration paths in water and soils of some... view more (2004-05-28)

Car not first application for fuel cells
The car will not be the first application for fuel cells. This is one of the conclusions in the doctoral thesis of Robert van den Hoed, which he will defend on 17 May at TU Delft. "My research project confirms that large organisations such as in the automobile industry have trouble... view more (2004-05-11)

Step on the gas — New fuel cell design adds control, reduces complexity
When Princeton University engineers want to increase the power output of their new fuel cell, they just give it a little more gas - hydrogen gas, to be exact.   view more (2007-01-17)

Fuel From Sawdust
Russia owns enormous reserves of coil, oil, and gas. However, such unconventional raw material in energy industry as biomass is of great importance. Its share amounts to 4 per cent now and, probably, will be increasing. Biomass, i.e. organic waste of wood industry and agriculture, trees of quick... view more (2001-07-27)
