Using green chemistry to deliver cutting-edge drugs
Green chemistry is being employed to develop revolutionary drug delivery methods that are more effective and less toxic - and could benefit millions of patients. view more (2007-09-14)
New type of sirolimus-eluting stent demonstrates superior results
A new type of sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) successfully showed significantly greater neointimal suppression than the paclitaxel-eluting stent (PES) with greater vessel wall integrity surrounding the stent, confirming the finding of superiority of the SES over the PES stent for the trial's primary endpoint of in-stent late loss. view more (2009-09-22)
Light-emitting polymers land CDT the engineering “Oscar”
Five engineers from one of the UK’s most exciting new companies – Cambridge Display Technology – have won the nation’s biggest engineering prize, the £50,000 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award, for their ground-breaking light-emitting polymer technology. The Academy will announce the CDT team as this... view more... (2002-07-04)
Liquid cooling with microfluidic channels helps computer processors beat the heat
A new technique for fabricating liquid cooling channels onto the backs of high-performance integrated circuits could allow denser packaging of chips while providing better temperature control and improved reliability. view more (2005-06-21)
HIPS fireproof coatings can really take the heat
HIPS coatings can withstand temperatures of over 1000°C compared to current commercial coatings used on building materials and structures which break down at between 150-250°C. view more (2009-07-20)
Modified plants may yield more biofuel
Plants, genetically modified to ease the breaking down of their woody material, could be the key to a cheaper and greener way of making ethanol, according to researchers who add that the approach could also help turn agricultural waste into food for livestock. view more (2008-12-23)
Nanoribbons from sliced open nanotubes: new, faster, more accurate method from Stanford
A world of potential may lie tied up in graphene nanoribbons, particularly for electronics applications. But researchers have been hampered in their efforts to fully explore that potential because they had no reliable way of creating the large quantities of uniform nanoribbons needed to conduct extensive studies. view more (2009-04-16)
Researchers design copper connections for high-speed computing
As computers become more complex, the demand increases for more connections between computer chips and external circuitry such as a motherboard or wireless card. And as the integrated circuits become more advanced, maximizing their performance requires better connections that operate at higher frequencies with less loss. view more (2008-02-12)
NIST scientists study how to stack the deck for organic solar power
A new class of economically viable solar power cells-cheap, flexible and easy to make-has come a step closer to reality as a result of recent work* at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where scientists have deepened their understanding of the complex organic films at the heart of the devices. view more (2009-07-30)
Killing Cancer Like a Vampire Slayer
Like vampires, cancer tumors require an ample supply of blood to stay alive. Without fresh blood for sustenance, cancer cells shrivel up like raisins and die. view more (2009-09-18)
Electronic displays that fit on clothing could power revolution in lighting
A thin film of plastic which conducts electricity and produces solar power could be the basis for a revolution in the way we light our homes and design clothes. view more (2007-04-19)
Princeton engineers develop low-cost recipe for patterning microchips
Creating ultrasmall grooves on microchips -- a key part of many modern technologies -- is about to become as easy as making a sandwich, using a new process invented by Princeton engineers. view more (2007-09-04)
New filter material can reduce the number of cigarette deaths
Using a new filter material of a network shaped polymer in filter cigarettes can significantly reduce the amount of tar and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the mainstream tobacco smoke. This is the conclusion of comparative experimental research carried out by Prof.Dr. Wim Rulkens and Dr. Hans Brons, Environmental Technologists at... view more... (2000-12-07)
Hebrew University Researchers Win Kaye Prize For Gastro-retentive Sustained Release Drug Delivery System
Despite advances made in "sustained delivery" drug delivery technologies in recent years, a problem still persists in trying to obtain controlled release of a wide variety of medications that have only a "narrow absorption window" in the upper part of the intestines. That is, these drugs are absorbed rather quickly after being... view more... (2004-06-07)
Rebuilding faces
Surgeons are using a revolutionary implant to help rebuild the faces of children injured in accidents or born with serious defects. view more (2005-01-14)
JILA finds flaw in model describing DNA elasticity
DNA, the biomolecule that provides the blueprint for life, has a lesser-known identity as a stretchy polymer. view more (2007-09-17)
MIT: 'Nanostitching' could strengthen airplane skins, more
MIT engineers are using carbon nanotubes only billionths of a meter thick to stitch together aerospace materials in work that could make airplane skins and other products some 10 times stronger at a nominal increase in cost. view more (2009-03-05)
Drawing Nanoscale Features the Fast and Easy Way
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a new technique for nanolithography that is extremely fast and capable of being used in a range of environments including air (outside a vacuum) and liquids. view more (2007-09-11)
Value of stent-coating drugs questioned
Patients admitted to the hospital with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are often treated with a catheter-based procedure known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), during which a stent is inserted into an occluded or narrowed coronary artery to restore blood flow to and from the heart. view more (2007-03-27)
