Competing proteins influence strength of tooth enamel
A gene critical to tooth formation expresses a protein that is then cleaved into two proteins with seemingly opposite functions, according to a USC-led team of dental researchers.   view more (2005-09-01)

Icy AMORE on the volcanoes of the Northern Polar Sea
The polar research vessels RV Polarstern and USCGC Healy returned after a ten week successful expedition to the high arctic regions. Together with the new US Coast Guard icebreaker, the USCGC Healy, the Polarstern, run by the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Sea Research (AWI) explored the... view more (2001-10-16)

Avenir Energie's Geopack pumps up the energy
Geopack, the latest geothermal heating system from Avenir Energie, is on show at Frankfurt's ISH Trade Fair from 15 to 19 March 2005. Designed to meet all the heating needs of a typical domestic house or similar building, Geopack captures the free and unlimited energy that naturally exists in the... view more (2005-02-23)

Television with depth
The ability to see moving pictures and animations in 3D is more than technical wizardry: Completely new applications are now possible, even without the use of special glasses. A new patented autostereoscopic display on show at the Hanover Fair will open your eyes. ------------------------ All kind... view more (2002-04-16)

Mid Sweden University researchers set world record
When it comes to the density of connections on a chip, researchers in industrial electronics at Mid Sweden University hold the unofficial world record. Their new technique makes it possible to connect chips to an underlying substrate, such as a circuit board, with a density of 80,000 connections... view more (2004-06-04)

Mirror Measures Vortex Drag
Airplanes generate trailing wake vortices which can be dangerous for following aircraft, especially on takeoff and landing. An onboard laser measuring device scans the air space in front of the plane, recognizes turbulence and will inform the pilot. The volume of air traffic is constantly rising -... view more (2004-07-08)

Sniffing out chloride
When industrial plants are wrecked, they often leave behind a site with contaminated soil. If it was a metalworking plant, a textile production or dry-cleaning facility, a paint manufacturing or an animal waste processing plant, the soil is often contaminated with chlorine-based solvents. In order... view more (2002-09-09)

Surgeon operates to rescue chimp with rare deformity
An orthopaedic surgeon at the University of Liverpool has performed a groundbreaking operation on a chimp in Cameroon to correct a deformity more commonly seen in dogs.   view more (2008-05-20)

Fruit fly phlebotomy holds neuroscience promise
Drawing blood from a fruit fly may only be slightly easier than getting it from a proverbial stone or turnip, but success could provide substantial benefits for neuroscientists.   view more (2008-03-26)

Sandia conducts tests at Solar Tower to benefit future NASA space explorations
For the last two years, tests have been conducted at Sandia National Laboratories' National Solar Thermal Test Facility to see how materials used for NASA's future planetary exploration missions can withstand severe radiant heating.   view more (2005-09-08)

Tiny holes offer surprising insights

The area of influence of earthquakes could be larger than is currently thought
Dr Álvaro Corral, a Ramón y Cajal researcher for the UAB Department of Physics, studies the relationships between the time and place of earthquake occurrences (ie, the jumps between an initial earthquake and another earthquake at a later time in another place) using statistical physics methods.   view more (2006-11-22)

Bacteria show promise in fending off global amphibian killer
First in a petri dish and now on live salamanders, probiotic bacteria seem to repel a deadly fungus being blamed for worldwide amphibian deaths and even extinctions.   view more (2007-05-23)

Silent earthquakes may foreshadow destructive temblors, study finds
A team of American geoscientists is urging colleagues around the world to search for evidence of tiny earthquakes in seismically active areas, such as the Pacific Northwest, that are periodically rocked by powerful temblors of magnitude 8 and higher.   view more (2006-07-06)

Earthquake swarms not just clustered around volcanoes, geothermal regions
An earthquake swarm - a steady drumbeat of moderate, related seismic events - over hours or days, often can be observed near a volcano such as Mount St. Helens in Washington state or in a geothermal region such as Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.   view more (2006-10-26)

X-Ray For Grain
Researchers from St. Petersburg have invented a way to check the viability of grains and seeds of agricultural plants without prior germination. The scientists assume that injuries of the germ and tissues of seeds can be revealed through X-ray photomicrography with the help of computer recognition... view more (2003-02-20)

Purification of purines through electroflotation
ADE Biotec and the INASMET Foundation, both from the Basque Country, after three years of working together, have developed a new purification technique for purines. The technique is based on electroflotation and could be very beneficial for agriculture as it has a high level (80%+) of purification... view more (2003-01-14)

Niobium prize
CEIT, the research centre based in Donostia-San Sebastian in the Basque Country, has been awarded this year's International Charles Hatchett prize by the Materials Institute in London. They will receive the award on the 10 June in recognition of their work, highly important in the steel industrial... view more (2003-05-22)

Getting Power From Enemy`S Skull
The archaeologists at Komi Institute of Language, Literature and History worked at the burial-mound Shihovskoy - a cemetery with the square of 3000 square kilometer, aging back to the Iron Age. The archaeologists have excavated seven graves, they date three of them back to the first centuries A.D.... view more (2002-10-25)

Making a face: A new and earlier marker of neural crest development
The fate of cells that go on to form the face, skull and nerve centers of the head and neck in vertebrates is determined much earlier in development than previously thought, and is independent of interaction with other forming tissues.   view more (2006-07-12)

Graphene used to create world's smallest transistor

Explorers to Use New Robotic Vehicles to Hunt for Life and Hydrothermal Vents on Arctic Seafloor
Scientists and engineers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have just completed a successful test of new robotic vehicles designed for use beneath the ice of the Arctic Ocean.   view more (2007-06-25)

Massive gene screening points way to more effective chemotherapy
Using a technology that can quickly screen all 20,000-plus human genes for biological activity, scientists have isolated 87 genes that seem to affect how sensitive human cancer cells are to certain chemotherapy drugs.   view more (2007-04-12)

Are you feeling lucky? How superstition impacts consumer choice
Despite their strong impact on the marketplace, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the how superstitious beliefs impact decision making.   view more (2008-02-13)
