Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out.   view more (2008-07-29)

Silicon Thin-Film Solar Cells Gaining In Efficiency
An important goal of modern energy research is to directly convert sunlight into electricity at low cost. Silicon thin-film solar cells promise comparatively lower costs than conventional solar cells. However, to become a mass product of the future, the efficiencies of large-area modules must climb... view more (2002-08-08)

Chemists look through glass to find secrets that are less clear
A new understanding of how glass is formed may assist with our understanding of everything from the design of golf club heads to the structure of the early universe.   view more (2006-06-07)

Graphene oxide paper could spawn a new class of materials
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the discovery of paper revolutionized human communication. Now researchers at Northwestern University have fabricated a new type of paper that they hope will create a revolution of its own -- and while it won't replace your notepad, this remarkably stiff and strong yet... view more (2007-07-26)

The danger of blindness after ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmologists inject gas into the eye mainly during the surgical treatment of retinal hemorrhages or injuries. The purpose of the gas is to help press the detached retina to the wall of the eye.   view more (2008-02-26)

Reducing side effects of painkillers
Cardiff University researchers have increased the understanding of why some painkillers increase the risk of heart attack and stroke.   view more (2006-09-13)

Everlasting Fibre-glass Plastic
More durable helmets, vests, ski-sticks and various other fibre-glass plastic products are close to becoming a reality. Provided, of course, the manufacturers apply new technology - the one developed by the Chernogolovka scientists supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the... view more (2004-05-24)

Cerium oxide nanotubes get noticed
Chemists and materials scientists often study "nanotubes" - capsule-shaped molecules only a few billionths of a meter (nanometers) in width.   view more (2006-03-29)

Nitrous oxide from ocean microbes
A large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the oxygen poor parts of the ocean using nitrites, Dr Mark Trimmer told journalists at a Science Media Centre press briefing today.   view more (2007-12-11)

PM Invites Glass Expert To London
Prime Minister Tony Blair has invited Czech artist and University of Sunderland to a special celebration of the historic expansion of the European Union. Prof Petrova will be at the Foreign Office on Wednesday, (April 28) to celebrate the inclusion of ten new members to the EU. As well as the Czech... view more (2004-04-26)

Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For... view more (2003-01-24)

Researchers Find Controls to Gold Nanocatalysis
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have made a discovery that could allow scientists to exercise more control over the catalytic activity of gold nanoclusters.   view more (2006-08-10)

Research leads to healthful strategies for re-setting the body's clock
Everyone is equipped with a biological clock, a region in the brain the size of a corn kernel, which dictates our sleep-wake cycles, and plays a major role in our physical and mental health.   view more (2006-03-23)

Glass fibre predicts uptake in earthworms
Dutch researchers have discovered that glass fibres absorb the same types and quantities of toxic substances from damp soils as earthworms, which form the basis of the current methods soil researchers use for toxicity analyses. The Institute for Inland Water Management and Waste Water Treatment... view more (2003-06-24)

LAUGHING GAS - A FASHIONABLE RECREATIONAL DRUG? (p 1347)
