Insights into polymer film instability could aid high tech industries
While exploring the properties of polymer formation, a team of scientists at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has made a fundamental discovery about these materials that could improve methods of creating the stable crystalline films that are widely used in electronics applications-and also offer insight into a range of... view more...

Genes, brain chemistry may dictate nicotine cravings, says CU-Boulder study
Individual brain chemistry and genes could be key to understanding why some people become addicted to nicotine and why the chemical compound's effects appear to diminish at night. view more (2007-11-07)
Scientists convert heat to power using organic molecules, may lead to new energy source
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, have successfully generated electricity from heat by trapping organic molecules between metal nanoparticles, an achievement that could pave the way toward the development of a new source for energy. view more (2007-02-16)
Potato skins help distinguish organic from conventional varieties
Organically and conventionally grown potatoes may be told apart by flavour, say researchers in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture this month - but only if the potato skins are left on. view more (2005-01-27)
Thawing permafrost likely to boost global warming
The thawing of permafrost in northern latitudes, which greatly increases microbial decomposition of carbon compounds in soil, will dominate other effects of warming in the region and could become a major force promoting the release of carbon dioxide and thus further warming, according to a new assessment in the September 2008 issue of BioScience. view more (2008-09-02)
Relic of life in that Martian meteorite? A fresh look
Since the mid-1990s a great debate has raged over whether organic compounds and tiny globules of carbonate minerals imbedded in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001 were processed by living creatures from the Red Planet. view more (2006-03-23)
Contact lenses inside the eyes
INASMET Foundation, a member of the TECNALIA Corporation from the Basque Country, is currently carrying out research on intraocular lenses. In fact, INASMET presented two projects at the 17th European Congress on Biomaterials held in Barcelona. Apart from publishing the results of a comparative study on intraocular lenses, they presented a... view more... (2003-01-03)
Four researchers awarded 'Dutch Nobel Prize'
NWO has announced the names of the four top researchers who will receive the NWO/SPINOZA Prize for 2001. This is the leading scientific prize in the Netherlands. Each of the four winners will receive the sum of EUR 1.5m. The official award ceremony will take place early in 2002. Twins researcher Professor Dorret Boomsma (born 1957), Professor of... view more... (2001-10-08)
Novel Chemistry for Ethylene and Tin
New work by chemists at UC Davis shows that ethylene, a gas that is important both as a hormone that controls fruit ripening and as a raw material in industrial chemistry, can bind reversibly to tin atoms. view more (2009-09-30)
Real Threats To Countryside Ignored In GM Furore, Ecologists Warn
*PLEASE NOTE THIS IS EMBARGOED UNTIL 16 OCTOBER* The UK should be cautious in developing GM technology in agriculture, the British Ecological Society (BES) has said. However, scientists, policy makers and environmental campaigners should beware that by focussing solely on GM crops, the real threats to the British countryside are being ignored.... view more...

Systems biology approach identifies nutrient regulation of biological clock in plants
Using a systems biological analysis of genome-scale data from the model plant Arabidopsis, an international team of researchers identified that the master gene controlling the biological clock is sensitive to nutrient status. view more (2008-03-17)
MIT researchers see alternative to common colorectal cancer drug
A compound that accumulates in cells more readily than a commonly used colorectal cancer drug may be just as useful in treating colorectal tumors, but with fewer side effects, MIT researchers have found. view more (2008-06-18)
NC State Engineers Discover Nanoparticles Can Break On Through
In a finding that could speed the use of sensors or barcodes at the nanoscale, North Carolina State University engineers have shown that certain types of tiny organic particles, when heated to the proper temperature, bob to the surface of a layer of a thin polymer film and then can reversibly recede below the surface when heated a second time. view more (2008-09-17)
Loss of just one species makes big difference in freshwater ecosystem, study finds
Researchers at Dartmouth, Cornell University, and the University of Wyoming have learned that the removal of just one important species in a freshwater ecosystem can seriously disrupt how that environment functions. This finding contradicts earlier notions that other species can jump in and compensate for the loss. view more (2006-08-21)
Microbe has huge role in ocean life, carbon cycle
Researchers at Oregon State University and Diversa Corporation have discovered that the smallest free-living cell known also has the smallest genome, or genetic structure, of any independent cell-and yet it dominates life in the oceans, thrives where most other cells would die, and plays a huge role in the cycling of carbon on Earth. view more (2005-08-19)
New evidence that people make aspirin's active principle -- salicylic acid
Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting new evidence that humans can make their own salicylic acid (SA) - the material formed when aspirin breaks down in the body. view more (2008-12-23)
