EUREKA project destroys BSE-infected waste using plasma technology
The European Union's response to recent public health crises such as the BSE outbreak has prompted a EUREKA project to develop a more effective, safer and environmentally friendly method for destroying potentially infected animal wastes. New EU directives to eradicate BSE have generated such a huge... view more (2004-03-16)

Detecting the Traces of Mystery Matter
Using high-speed collisions between gold atoms, scientists think they have re-created one of the most mysterious forms of matter in the universe - quark-gluon plasma.   view more (2005-08-01)

Lighter gas reduces damage to optics in extreme ultraviolet lithography
Researchers at the University of Illinois have discovered a way to generate light and reduce damage in a leading candidate for next-generation microelectronics lithography. The technique could help pack more power into smaller computer chips.   view more (2007-09-13)

Fusion conditions - Particle simulation studies of divertor plasmas
"Nuclear fusion" is the melting of light nuclei into heavier ones, a process that according to the laws of physics releases enormous amounts of energy. For the past 50 years many scientists have sought ways of harnessing this fusion reaction under controlled reactor conditions as a safe, clean and... view more (2002-02-25)

External Magnetic Field Causes The Puzzling Heating Of The Solar Corona
The Russian astrophysicists have theoretically modelled coronal loop oscillations and have shown that the plasma present in coronal loops is quite "normal". So, the puzzle of the Sun`s atmosphere heating remains unresolved.          Coronal loops, immense... view more (2002-06-21)

A washing machine for blood
Blood poisoning is fatal in almost half of all cases. Patients could be helped by efficient blood cleansing. Scientists are working on a new technique that will quickly and effectively retrieve toxic substances from the vital fluid without altering the blood count.   view more (2004-10-04)

Science makes waste less smelly
Every day, great quantities of domestic and industrial waste are put into landfill sites, covered over and left to rot. As this waste decomposes, it gives off a complicated mixture of gases, some of them poisonous and some of them smelly, often for several decades after a site is closed. As well as... view more (2001-03-13)

Plastic as hard and clear as glass
Plastics come in many forms. They are used to make boats, magnifiers, skis and all manner of household items. Transparent plastic sheet panels would be ideal in the manufacture of windows or headlamps of cars, for example, and tinted plastic foils could more readily be used to protect against the... view more (2000-03-28)

Novel laboratory model reveals clues to how blood starts clotting
Researchers at the University of Chicago have crafted a simple model for predicting when and where hemostasis - the technical term for blood clotting - will occur.   view more (2006-10-27)

Thermometer For Plasma
St. Petersburg researchers have designed an original thermometer for fast-moving electrons in thermonuclear reactors. The laser beam in this device is used to instantly determine the temperature of burning hot plasma, at frequencies required for precise diagnostics. This device is a further step... view more (2003-09-05)

Free radical scavenging is defective in periodontal (tooth loosening) disease
The capacity to mop up harmful oxygen free radicals seems to be reduced in people with periodontal disease, finds research in Molecular Pathology. Periodontal disease affects between 10 and 15% of people worldwide. A leading cause of tooth loss, it develops as a result of bacterial infection from a... view more (2002-11-22)

With Your Diet You Can Prevent Depression
Two studies published in the 2004 November- December issue of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics suggest that dietary B vitamin complex has an important role as to the vulnerability to depression. In the first study, a group of Finnish investigators of the University of Kuopio found that a low... view more (2004-11-18)

UW-Madison professor to coordinate US fusion science effort
A University of Wisconsin-Madison professor will be the liaison between United States plasma and fusion science researchers and a group that is building the U.S. share of ITER, an international fusion experiment that eventually could lead to an abundant, economical and environmentally benign energy... view more (2006-05-31)

Towards rational vaccine design
A recent study published in Immunology Letters, the official journal of the European Federation of Immunological Societies (EFIS), describes strategies for selective priming of B cells using various adjuvants.   view more (2007-04-25)

Low HDL cholesterol from gene variation not associated with increased risk of ischemic heart disease
Lower levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol due to a gene mutation is not associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease, according to a study in the June 4 issue of JAMA.   view more (2008-06-04)

'It might be life, Jim...', physicists discover inorganic dust with lifelike qualities
Could extraterrestrial life be made of corkscrew-shaped particles of interstellar dust? Intriguing new evidence of life-like structures that form from inorganic substances in space are revealed today in the New Journal of Physics.   view more (2007-08-15)

Improved wettability of carbon nanotubes opens the door to new possibilities
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future but their wonder properties can also be their downfall. The non reactive nature of carbon nanotubes means they can be difficult to incorporate into other materials for real world applications.   view more (2007-11-26)

The lethal fourth state
The use of toxic chemicals to sterilise medical instruments may soon be a thing of the past, according to researchers at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, and the University of California in San Diego. Their work, released on 30 April 2003 in New Journal of Physics, published jointly by... view more (2003-04-24)

Reactor upgrades help researchers study nuclear fusion as energy source
For about six months of the year, bursts of a hot, electrically charged gas, or plasma, swirl around a donut-shaped tube in a special MIT reactor, helping scientists learn more about a potential future energy source: nuclear fusion.   view more (2007-02-14)

Jupiter`s Electric Aurora
The planet Jupiter has spectacular rings of auroras around each pole but until now scientists have not been able to explain how they form. All auroras are caused by energetic charged particles crashing into the top of the atmosphere and making it glow. In the Earth's auroras, these particles come... view more (2002-03-26)

Book conservation
Paper has played a vital role in the cultural and economic progress of mankind. Handwritten and meticulously illustrated books and early printed works are like precious treasures. But deterioration is threatening much of this cultural heritage in libraries and archives. The bearers of human... view more (1999-07-01)
