Leading experts in organic solar cells say the field is being damaged by questionable reports
In the latest issue of Elsevier's Materials Today the leading magazine for researchers in areas of advanced materials science, Dr. Gilles Dennler of Konarka Austria GmbH and twenty other experts warn that an unseemly race to report organic solar cells (OSCs) with world record efficiencies is... view more (2007-10-16)

More recycling on the farm could reduce environmental problems
Growing environmental problems resulting from farming argue for a shift toward practices that use lower inputs of pesticides and energy and more recycling of energy and materials.   view more (2007-05-01)

The inside dope
Often, things can be improved by a little 'contamination.' Steel, for example is iron with a bit of carbon mixed in. To produce materials for modern electronics, small amounts of impurities are introduced into silicon - a process called doping.   view more (2007-07-27)

More biogas, less sludge
Germany has more than 10,000 sewage plants, using costly processes to treat household, industrial and restaurant waste water. The treated water is discharged back into river and lake systems. What remains is an organic / inorganic mixture of sludge. The issue is how to dispose of this residue. Up... view more (2002-11-14)

NMSU/Wake Forest solar breakthrough will help spur viability of alternative energy
Imagine being able to paint your roof with enough alternative energy to heat and cool your home. What if soldiers in the field could carry an energy source in a roll of plastic wrap in their backpacks?   view more (2005-10-10)

Breakthrough: UNC scientists have created world's tiniest uniform, precisely shaped organic particles
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill chemists have developed what they believe is a breakthrough method of creating the world's tiniest manufactured particles for delivering drugs and other organic materials into the human body.   view more (2005-06-22)

Flexible electronics advance boosts performance, manufacturing
Flexible electronics made with organic, or carbon-based, transistors could enable technologies such as low-cost sensors on product packaging and ''electronic paper'' displays as thin and floppy as a placemat.   view more (2006-12-14)

Billions of particles of anti-matter created in laboratory
ake a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as positrons, shoots out of the target in a cone-shaped plasma "jet."   view more (2008-11-18)

The Amazon : wedding in white and black
What happens when two rivers of widely different character meet? In order to answer this question, hydrologists from IRD (Institut de recherché pour le développement) have examined the confluence of the Rivers Negro and Solim'µes, in Brazil. These two large water courses join just... view more (2000-11-07)

New system for storing lithium-polymer energy

Oldest complex organic molecules found in ancient fossils
Ohio State University geologists have isolated complex organic molecules from 350-million-year-old fossil sea creatures - the oldest such molecules yet found.   view more (2006-10-26)

Manufactured Buckyballs don't harm microbes that clean the environment
Even large amounts of manufactured nanoparticles, also known as Buckyballs, don't faze microscopic organisms that are charged with cleaning up the environment, according to Purdue University researchers.   view more (2008-04-09)

Classic experiments give new insight on life's origin
The building blocks of life may have emerged in volcanic eruptions on the early Earth, according to a new analysis of classic experiments performed more than fifty years ago.   view more (2008-10-17)

Cowpeas could add sustainability to cropping systems
Ground left fallow in the High Plains to store soil moisture between crops may be better off with a legume crop such as cowpeas, according to a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher.   view more (2005-10-13)

Deep-sea species' loss could lead to oceans' collapse, study suggests
The loss of deep-sea species poses a severe threat to the future of the oceans, suggests a new report publishing early online on December 27th and in the January 8th issue of Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press.   view more (2007-12-28)

National study examines health risks of coarse particle pollution

Uncharged organic molecule can bind negatively charged ions
Indiana University Bloomington chemists have designed an organic molecule that binds negatively charged ions, a feat they hope will lead to the development of a whole new molecular toolbox for biologists, chemists and medical researchers who want to remove chlorine, fluorine and other negatively... view more (2008-02-27)

Frozen lightning: NIST's new nanoelectronic switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a prototype nanoscale electronic switch that works like lightning—except for the speed.   view more (2007-03-05)

MDCT using dual energy setting may make CT colonography more 'patient-friendly'
MDCT performed with a dual energy setting may allow enhanced differentiation of polyps from fecal matter in an unprepped colon, meaning patients may be able to skip the uncomfortable colonic preparation before CT colonography.   view more (2007-05-07)

REDUCTION OF RICEFIELD METHANE EMISSION
Methane (CH4) is considered to be the third most important gas, after carbon dioxide (CO2) and freons, in its contribution to the greenhouse effect and hence to global warming. Cores taken from the ice cap have shown that its concentration in the atmosphere has tripled in 100 years. This figure... view more (1999-07-07)
