Porous ceramic foam - taking the heat out of furnaces
Concerns over the health effects on humans caused by RCF dust lead to a number of studies in the USA. The EU directive in November 1997 and growing legislation from EU member states, including Germany and The Netherlands, has lead to a widespread search for a suitable alternative. Hi-Por, developed by TMS, is proving to be one of the leading... view more... (1999-04-30)
Research Fortnight 10 July issue: stories on arts and humanities infrastructure, third stream metrics, the NW science strategy, the RAE and PPARC.
Universities need £500m for arts and humanities Infrastructure for arts and humanities research needs around £500 million to address years of under-investment according to a report to be published today. It calls for the money to be provided by government, allocated by formula rather than competition, as part of an overall package for... view more... (2002-07-10)
Discredited Korean embryonic stem cells' true origins revealed
A report from researchers at Children's Hospital Boston and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute sheds new light on a now-discredited Korean embryonic stem cell line, setting the historical record straight and also establishing a much-needed set of standards for characterizing human embryonic stem cells. view more (2007-08-03)
LANL Roadrunner models nonlinear physics of high-power lasers
For years scientists have struggled with the difficult physics of inertial confinement fusion. This is the attempt to compress a target capsule containing isotopes of hydrogen with high-powered lasers to high enough pressure and temperature to initiate fusion burn. view more (2009-10-29)
New tooth enamel dating technique
The radioactive carbon-14 produced by above-ground nuclear testing in the 1950s and 1960s is providing forensic scientists with a more precise way to determine a person's age at the time of death. view more (2005-09-15)
Blocking a premature aging syndrome with anticancer drugs
A class of anticancer drugs currently being evaluated in phase 3 clinical trials may also be an effective treatment for Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), a fatal genetic disorder that causes premature aging. view more (2005-08-30)
