Highways Agency congratulated for environmentally friendly lighting
Lighting that shines in a controlled manner rather than skywards, has resulted in the Highways Agency being congratulated by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee recently. The Committee praised the Agency for forward thinking, and believes the high pressure sodium lanterns are a step in the right direction to reducing light... view more... (2003-12-01)
U of Minnesota researcher discovers the starting point of sun-induced skin cancer
According to a new study from the University of Minnesota, the earliest event in the development of sun-induced skin cancer may have been identified. view more (2008-05-15)
Firefly Light Helps Destroy Cancer Cells
Could the gentle firefly turn out to be a potent weapon against cancer? In a new study, researchers from London inserted the firefly gene that activates bioluminescent light into modified cancer cells, hoping to set off a chain of events that has a proven track record at fighting the disease. This light source, known as Luciferin, caused the... view more... (2003-04-11)
Studying the fate of drugs in wastewater
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have published an interesting study that sheds light on the fate of a familiar pharmaceutical as it enters the waste stream. view more (2005-12-27)
Next-generation microcapsules deliver 'chemicals on demand'
Scientists in California are reporting development of a new generation of the microcapsules used in carbon-free copy paper, in which capsules burst and release ink with pressure from a pen. view more (2009-10-29)
Light turns liquid
LIGHT can be turned into a glowing stream of liquid that splits into droplets and splatters off surfaces just like water. The researchers who`ve worked out how to do this say "liquid light" would be the ideal lifeblood for optical computing, where chips send light around optical "circuits" to process data. Liquid light sounds like a... view more... (2002-07-03)
Sunlight exposure plus low antioxidant levels may place older adults at risk for eye disease
A European study suggests that the combination of low plasma levels of antioxidants and blue light exposure from the sun is associated with certain forms of the eye disease age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a report in the October issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-10-14)
'Tunable' network features coordinated frequency combs
A super stable fiber-optic network that can be tuned across a range of visible and near-infrared frequencies while synchronizing the oscillations of light waves from different sources has been demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2007-05-14)
Nano surfaces could slash cost of solar energy
Nanotechnologies which can artificially change the optical properties of materials to allow light to be trapped in solar cells could greatly reduce the cost of solar energy. view more (2005-02-03)
Researchers shed more light on conversion of water to hydrogen gas
Chemists are several steps closer to teasing hydrogen fuel from water using man-made molecular devices that collect electrons and use them to split hydrogen from oxygen. view more (2005-08-29)
Does missing gene point to nocturnal existence for early mammals?
A gene that makes cells in the eye receptive to light is missing in humans, researchers have discovered. view more (2006-10-13)
Scientists Unlock the Mystery of Liquid Crystal Alignment
The alignment of liquid crystals in devices such as lap-top computers and palm pilots makes the displays on these devices readable. view more (2005-12-21)
G-Zero Finds that Ghostly Strange Quarks Influence Proton Structure
In research performed at the Department of Energy's Jefferson Lab, nuclear physicists have found that strange quarks do contribute to the structure of the proton. This result indicates that, just as previous experiments have hinted, strange quarks in the proton's quark-gluon sea contribute to a proton's properties. view more (2005-06-20)
Light is shed on new fibre's potential to change technology
Photonic crystal fibre's ability to create broad spectra of light, which will be the basis for important developments in technology, has been explained for the first time in an article in the leading science journal Nature-Photonics. view more (2007-12-11)
Exploding Bubbles Detected by Laser Light
A revolutionary way of detecting the potentially dangerous gas bubbles in bore-holes that can lead to large explosions, is reported today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. The new technique, developed by researchers at the University of Reading, could save the oil exploration industry millions of pounds by... view more... (2000-05-30)
USC researchers closer to cure for multiple sclerosis and other myelin-related diseases
A breakthrough finding on the mechanism of myelin formation by Jonah Chan, assistant professor of cell and neurobiology at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California, could have a major impact on the treatment of diseases such as multiple sclerosis and demyelination as a result of spinal cord injuries. view more (2006-11-03)
