PPARC Welcomes Outcome Of Prior Options Review Of Royal Observatories
Professor Ken Pounds, Chief Executive of the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), today welcomed the announcement by Minister for Science and Technology, Ian Taylor accepting the recommendations of the Steering Committee of the review of the Royal Observatories. Professor Pounds said, "I am pleased that the Minister has... view more... (1996-04-25)
Proton's party pals may alter its internal structure
A recent experiment at the Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has found that a proton's nearest neighbors in the nucleus of the atom may modify the proton's internal structure. view more (2009-11-19)

New cancer weapon: nuclear nanocapsules
Rice University chemists have found a way to package some of nature's most powerful radioactive particles inside DNA-sized tubes of pure carbon -- a method they hope to use to target tiny tumors and even lone leukemia cells. view more (2007-08-24)
Nanoparticles cross blood-brain barrier to enable 'brain tumor painting'
Brain cancer is among the deadliest of cancers. It's also one of the hardest to treat. view more (2009-08-04)
Discovery of 'hidden' quantum order improves prospects for quantum super computers
An international team of scientists, including several at The Johns Hopkins University, has detected a hidden magnetic "quantum order" that extends over chains of nearly 100 atoms in a material that is otherwise magnetically disordered. view more (2007-07-27)
£11.5 Million for world-leading project at the Daresbury Laboratory - Ministers give go-ahead for the next development stage of 4GLS in Cheshire
The building of the world-leading 4GLS (4th generation light source) has come one step closer with the announcement today of £11.5 million for an exploratory phase of the project. This phase involves a 3-year study to establish the technical know-how needed to build this innovative scientific research facility, including the construction of... view more... (2003-04-02)
Virtual duck bills demonstrate species coexistence
Ecologists continue to debate how different species manage to coexist. If two species use identical resources, such as food, invariably one will be more efficient and out-compete the other. The classical explanation is that each species has evolved morphological or physiological traits that allow it to exploit some resources more efficiently than... view more... (2007-02-28)
Researchers find new mechanism governing particle growth in nanocomposites
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles. view more (2005-09-01)
First black holes kept to a strict diet, study shows
A new supercomputer simulation designed to track the fate of the universe's first black holes finds that, counter to expectations, they couldn't efficiently gorge themselves on nearby gas. view more (2009-08-11)

Particulate emission from natural gas burning home appliances
Natural gas, believed to be among the cleanest forms of fuel, does emit ultrafine airborne particulate matter when burned in home appliances such as stove tops and water heaters. view more (2009-01-09)
UK grid helps fight avian flu
During April, computers in the UK have been working overtime in the fight against avian flu. As part of an international collaboration, computers at eleven UK universities and research labs have put in one hundred thousand hours of time searching for possible drug components against the avian flu virus H5N1. view more (2006-05-04)
Microfluidics and optical trapping integrated for the first time in new lab-on-a-chip research
Researchers at Cornell University for the first time have integrated optical functions with microfluidic ones, enabling the sorting of particles by light. view more (2007-10-26)
Virginia Tech engineer investigates enzyme link to neurological disease
Several neurologically based afflictions, such as Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer diseases, have been correlated to a higher than normal presence of a specific type of enzymes, called transglutaminases (TGase) in the human body. view more (2005-08-31)
NIST/University Team Records Rare Glimpses of Light from Neutrons
Researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and four universities have made the first experimental observation of rare particles of light emitted during the radioactive decay of the neutron, a key building block of matter. view more (2006-12-21)
Research Fortnight 13 February issue: stories on farming and horticulture, QinetiQ and MoD, the RAE in Wales, and PPARC`s cuts
Farming review avoids issue of research funding The Commission on the Future of Farming and Food has recommended structural reforms for research, but failed to back the call with a request for extra funding. This has disappointed research leaders, who were looking to this high-profile review to help boost resources. On research it advises the... view more... (2002-02-13)
NYU researchers decorate virus particles, showing potential to enhance MRI capabilities
Researchers at New York University have made chemical modifications to nanometer sized virus particles—a process that has the potential to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Their results are reported in the latest issue of Nano Letters. view more (2006-06-14)
