A breakthrough in heat transfer technology
A revolutionary breakthrough in heat transfer technology that could improve process productivity and reduce energy consumption and waste, is being developed by Ashe Morris Ltd thanks to a £100,000 investment from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts), the largest source of early stage funding in the UK. view more (2003-07-21)
Stem cells decrease ischemic injury and restore brain function
This is the impressive result of a study carried out by a group of researchers coordinated by Dr. Maria Grazia De Simoni of the Mario Negri Institute in Milan, Italy in cooperation with the Istituto Neurologico Besta (Milan) and the University of Lausanne. view more (2007-04-18)
'Racetrack' for fast electrons in semiconductor structures
In order to realize the electrical units of voltage, resistance and current with highest accuracy quantum effects in nano-circuits are nowadays used. Important prerequisites are extremely pure semiconductor layers where high-mobile electrons move through the crystal without collision with residual impurities. view more (2008-08-29)
See the force: Mechanical stress leads to self-sensing in solid polymers
Parachute cords, climbing ropes, and smart coatings for bridges that change color when overstressed are several possible uses for force-sensitive polymers being developed by researchers at the University of Illinois. view more (2009-05-07)
University-led consortium goes for gold with £2.8m sports research project
The University of Sheffield is leading a consortium that is creating a unique sports research and commercialisation cluster in the city, to help to turn top British athletes into gold medallists and to boost the region's economy. The Sports Research Development and Innovation (RDI) Project is a joint initiative with Fluent Europe, HD Sports Ltd,... view more... (2003-07-18)
MIT Researchers work toward spark-free, fuel-efficient engines
In an advance that could help curb global demand for oil, MIT researchers have demonstrated how ordinary spark-ignition automobile engines can, under certain driving conditions, move into a spark-free operating mode that is more fuel-efficient and just as clean. view more (2007-07-24)
Wearing helmets affects performance
Wearing protective helmets during sports can affect performance, according to a new study from Northumbria University. Tests were carried out on a group of young male cricketers and researchers investigated the physical and mental demands during an intense batting practice over eight overs when wearing a standard non-vented safety helmet and when... view more...

Blocking effects of viral infections may prevent asthma in young children
Babies who get severe respiratory viral infections are much more likely to suffer from asthma as they get older. view more (2007-11-08)
Researchers shed new light on catalyzed reactions
Rice University scientists on the hunt for a better way to clean up the stubborn pollutant TCE have created a method that lets them watch molecules break down on the surface of a catalyst as individual chemical bonds are formed and broken. view more (2008-11-20)
Making memories that last a lifetime
Neurobiologists have discovered a mechanism by which the constantly changing brain retains memories—from that dog bite to that first kiss. They have found that the brain co-opts the same machinery by which cells stably alter their genes to specialize during embryonic development. view more (2007-03-15)
Research Breakthrough In Understanding Treatment-Resistant Depression
CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE CENTRE: DARTFORD UK A pioneering research study using brain imaging has yielded new clues to help sufferers from severe depression who do not respond to conventional treatment. Around 5 million people in the UK experience depression at any one time. Whilst a number of successful treatments, both pharmacological and... view more... (2003-10-01)
NRL researchers report a forceful new method to sensitively detect proteins
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) recently reported the detection of toxins with unprecedented speed, sensitivity, and simplicity. The approach can sense as few as a few hundred molecules in a drop of blood in less than 10 minutes, with only four simple steps from sample to answer. view more (2009-03-17)
UD scientists discover new class of polymers
For years, polymer chemistry textbooks have stated that a whole class of little molecules called 1,2-disubstituted ethylenes could not be transformed into polymers-the stuff of which plastics and other materials are made. view more (2007-01-04)
Trust your gut? Study explores religion, morality and trust in authority
In a world filled with dogma, doctrine and discipline, it is accurate to say most of us strive to do what we believe is "right." These convictions and beliefs permeate every aspect of our lives, including education, ethics and even common law. view more (2009-09-15)
Powerful new 'molecular GPS' helps probe aging and disease processes
Scientists in Michigan are reporting the development of a powerful new probe for identifying proteins affected by a key chemical process important in aging and disease. view more (2009-09-02)
Loose grip
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is contained in the air we exhale, and is also always formed when carbon-containing substances such as oil, gas, wood, and plastics are burned - it is omnipres-ent. Chemists have long been trying to convert this gas to something useful, and Koji Tanaka and coworkers from the Institute for Molecular Science in Myodaiji, Japan,... view more... (1999-01-28)
Termite insecticide a potent greenhouse gas
An insecticide used to fumigate termite-infested buildings is a strong greenhouse gas that lives in the atmosphere nearly 10 times longer than previously thought, UC Irvine research has found. view more (2009-01-22)
When acute hepatitis develops into chronic hepatitis
To achieve this, Carlos A. Guzmán, Head of the "Vaccinology and Applied Microbiology" working group and Robert Geffers, Head of the "Gene Expression Analysis" platform, examined the incidence and species of special defence cells, T helper cells, along with their role in the development of the disease in conjunction with... view more...

Leaves of the khat plant harbour a key to improving men's fertility
A chemical that occurs naturally in the leaves of an African plant could boost men's fertility, researchers told the 20th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology on Monday 28 June. Khat (Catha edulis) is a plant that has been cultivated for centuries in East Africa and the Arabian peninsula. Chewing the... view more... (2004-06-28)
Structure of enzyme offers treatment clues for diabetes, Alzheimer's
Researchers from the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have deciphered the three-dimensional structure of insulin-degrading enzyme, a promising target for new drugs because it breaks down not only insulin but also the amyloid-beta protein, which has been linked to the cognitive decline of Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-10-12)
