New Purdue facility aims to improve NASA moon rocket engine
Purdue University engineers are conducting experiments using a new hydrogen facility to help NASA create designs to improve the cooling efficiency and performance of the J-2X rocket engine, critical for future missions to Mars and the moon. view more (2008-03-11)
Solvents in Retreat
A new catalyst for selective solvent-free hydrogenation at low temperatures A number of cyclic hydrocarbons with multiple double bonds are readily accessible intermediates in chemical industry. In the course of further processing it is often necessary to saturate some of the double bonds with hydrogen to form single bonds. This type of reaction,... view more... (2001-03-27)
Multitasking is hardest in the early morning
Multitasking seems to come easier for some and is virtually impossible for others, however new research shows that it is difficult for all in the late night and early morning. view more (2007-05-07)
Toasty oat aroma influenced by presence of health-linked polyphenols
Penn State food scientists have shown that the amount of health-linked polyphenols present during roasting or baking influences the toasty aroma developed by oats and might be used to limit the generation of off-flavors in oat products. view more (2005-09-01)
Toxic molecule may help birds 'see' north and south
Researchers at the University of Illinois report that a toxic molecule known to damage cells and cause disease may also play a pivotal role in bird migration. view more (2009-06-23)
Lack of sleep activates body's defence mechanisms
A lack of sleep is considered a threat situation, which activates the body's defence mechanisms. This is the same type of response that protects the body against viruses and bacteria as well as in stress situations. view more (2005-03-16)
Radioactivity: Discover the lowest amounts with new methods
Detecting ever lower amounts of ionising radiation with ever better methods - sci-entists have had this goal since the start of the nuclear age. view more (2008-09-17)
Sewerage sludge-A new raw material for cement production?
Korean ceramics researchers have recently investigated the potential for using sewerage sludge in cement production. Their research looks at the possibility of effective reutilization of sewage sludge into cement kiln processes. view more (2005-09-27)
Cooling milk using sun energy
The company Tarre of Navarre, Basque Country, in collaboration with the Public University of Navarre has built a prototype for cooling milk. This cooling and maintenance system takes the energy directly from a photovoltaic system and so there is no need to use batteries. The prototype integrates two concentric cylindrical tanks in a single... view more... (2002-12-03)
Solution to hospital infections could be in the air
A breakthrough in the fight against infections acquired in hospital could be achieved thanks to pioneering new research. The project is investigating the use of ionisers to eradicate airborne infections in hospitals - a technique that could deliver major health benefits and financial savings. Starting in December, the 3-year initiative will be... view more... (2003-12-01)
Desensitization protocol overcomes allergy to clopidogrel
A careful desensitization protocol can help patients overcome allergic reactions to anti-clotting medication critical to preventing new blockages inside coronary stents. view more (2006-05-12)
Z machine melts diamond to puddle
Sandia's Z machine, by creating pressures more than 10 million times that of the atmosphere at sea level, has turned a diamond sheet into a pool of liquid. view more (2006-11-06)
Liquid CO2 drives rapid thrust of diamond-bearing structures
Freeze-dried ice cream looks like the original product, and even tastes pretty good, but "drying" ice cream at room temperature would leave a sour-smelling, sloppy mess. view more (2007-05-03)
New accelerator technique doubles particle energy in just one meter
Imagine a car that accelerates from zero to 60 in 250 feet, and then rockets to 120 miles per hour in just one more inch. view more (2007-02-15)
Singapore researchers first to transform carbon dioxide into methanol
Scientists at Singapore's Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (IBN) have succeeded in unlocking the potential of carbon dioxide -- a common greenhouse gas -- by converting it into a more useful product. view more (2009-04-16)
Quantum biology — Powerful computer models reveal key biological mechanism
Using powerful computers to model the intricate dance of atoms and molecules, researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have revealed the mechanism behind an important biological reaction. view more (2007-01-17)
Penn study on olfactory nerve cells shows why we smell better when we sniff
Unlike most of our sensory systems that detect only one type of stimuli, our sense of smell works double duty, detecting both chemical and mechanical stimuli to improve how we smell, according to University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine researchers in the March issue of Nature Neuroscience. view more (2007-03-14)
Emory physicist opens new window on glass puzzle
When most people look at a window, they see solid panes of glass, but for decades, physicists have pondered the mysteries of window glass: Is glass a solid, or merely an extremely slow moving liquid" An Emory University research team led by physicist Eric Weeks has yielded another clue in the glass puzzle, demonstrating that, unlike liquids,... view more...

Making nanoparticles in artificial cells
Two new construction manuals are now available for the world's smallest lamps. Based on these protocols, scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces have tailor-made nanoparticles that can be used as position lights on cell proteins and, possibly in the future as well, as light sources for display screens or for optical... view more...
