Results promising for computational quantum chemical methods for drug development
New research, led by a Virginia Tech chemist, may someday help natural-products chemists decrease by years the amount of time it takes for the development of certain types of medicinal drugs.   view more (2007-12-21)

Study Finds Plenty of Carbon Dioxide Storage Capacity Underground in Kentucky
As concern has grown over the effects of the human release of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas into the atmosphere, so too has research into technologies to manage CO2.   view more (2006-10-09)

Synergy between biology and physics drives cell-imaging technology
Developing techniques to image the complex biological systems found at the sub-cellular level has traditionally been hampered by divisions between the academic fields of biology and physics. However, a new interdisciplinary zeal has seen a number of exciting advances in super-resolution imaging... view more (2008-06-02)

Dogma Destroyed: "Neural Glue" Can Communicate!
For a long time glyacytes were merely regarded as a kind of glue which fills up the extra-cellular space in the brain and stabilises the nerve cells. However, researchers from the University of Bonn, together with their Swiss colleagues, have been able to prove convincingly for the first time that... view more (2004-05-27)

'Vortex lattices' may help explain material defects
What do you get when you superimpose a rotating pattern of intersecting laser beams on a spinning cloud of ultracold atoms in a thin gas? Pretty pictures, for one thing-but also a new method that could be used to simulate why and how defects arise in superconductors, important materials that are... view more (2006-12-26)

Novel organic metal hybrids that will revolutionize materials science and chemical engineering
A novel class of hybrid materials made from metals and organic compounds is changing the face of solid state chemistry and materials science just 10 years after its discovery, with applications already in safe storage of highly inflammable gases such as hydrogen and methane.   view more (2008-02-19)

Research Says Boiling Broccoli Ruins Its Anti Cancer Properties
Researchers at the University of Warwick have found that the standard British cooking habit of boiling vegetables severely damages the anticancer properties of many Brassica vegetables such as broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cauliflower and green cabbage.   view more (2007-05-16)

Light shines way to diagnosis - The Physics Congress 2003
A research team from the Institute of Photonics at the University of Strathclyde has developed an array of miniature ultra-bright light emitting diodes (LEDs), which they believe could form the basis of a biosensor detection system, allowing doctors to perform thousands of clinical tests all in one... view more (2003-03-17)

One-Touch Pathology Slide Microscanning
In clinical pathology the diagnostic process is a multi-step process where the pathologist views a prepared tissue sample on an optical microscope. The pathologist switches repeatedly between a low magnification, wide field view of the whole sample to a high magnification, narrow field view of... view more (2004-02-19)

Gene makes muscles in the obese store more fat
The gene encoding an enzyme that hinders muscle from burning fat manufactures three times more enzyme in the muscle of obese people than lean people.   view more (2005-10-12)

Supercontinuum generation and soliton dynamics milestone achieved
A research team led by Fetah Benabid, University of Bath, has observed for the first time the simultaneous emission of two resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons (waves that maintain their shape while traveling at constant speeds).   view more (2008-11-21)

Blue laser - the alpha and the omega
The future of DVD is blue. New, low-cost optical laser technology generates short-wavelength beams. At the other end of the beam are detector heads that will soon contain arrays of up to 25 sensors. Two Fraunhofer Institutes are taking the lead at both ends of the spectrum. Man's appetite seems to... view more (2004-05-14)
