Medical costs for one premature baby could cover a dozen healthy births
The medical costs that businesses pay to care for one premature baby for a year could cover the costs for nearly a dozen healthy, full-term infants, according to new statistics from the March of Dimes. view more (2009-03-17)
Genetic Testing Could Identify HIV Patients At Risk Of Hypersensitivty To HIV Drug (pp 722, 727)
HIV patients at risk of a potentially fatal hypersensitive reaction to the antiretroviral drug abacavir could be identified by genetic testing before drug therapy has started, suggest authors of a fast-track study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The use of the HIV antiretroviral drug abacavir, a potent HIV-1 nucleoside-analogue... view more... (2002-02-28)
Allergy season: Cigarettes to the rescue?
Everyone knows that smoking can kill you, but did you know that it may help with your allergies? A new study shows that cigarette smoke can prevent allergies by decreasing the reaction of immune cells to allergens. view more (2009-05-15)
Diesel exhaust associated with higher heart attack, stroke risk in men
Increased roadway pollution produced by diesel fuel in vehicles is leading to a cascade of conditions that could result in heart attack or stroke. view more (2007-11-06)
Putting the heat on components
Europe's most modern facility for testing large, heat-resistant components used in fusion devices is now in operation at Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmapyhsik (IPP) in Garching near Munich. The special feature of GLADIS (Garching Large Divertor Sample Test Facility): The heat test facility is suitable for investigating not only small samples... view more... (2005-02-16)
Post brain injury: New nerve cells originate from neural stem cells
Most cells in the human brain are not nerve cells, but supporting cells (glial cells). They serve as a framework for nerve cells and play an important role in the wound reaction that occurs with injuries to the brain. view more (2008-03-12)
Viagra may affect fertility
Researchers from Belfast reveal today that men who take Viagra when they are hoping to start a family could be affecting their fertility. A group lead by Dr Sheena Lewis at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Queen's University Belfast have shown that while Viagra enhances sperm motility it also seems to speed up the 'acrosome... view more...

Licence to go where no chemist has gone before
Scientists at The University of Nottingham have overcome one of the significant research challenges facing electrochemists. For the first time they have found a way of probing right into the heart of an electrochemical reaction. view more (2009-09-29)
Facial Expressions are Contagious
We meet a smile with a smile, and an angry face with a frown. Facial expressions are very contagious, even on a subconscious level. But if this reaction is pure mimicry or a true reflection of an evoked feeling, is too early to say. Professor Ulf Dimberg, Uppsala University, presents new facts concerning facial expressions in a research report... view more... (2000-03-29)
Argonne breakthrough may revolutionize ethylene production
A new environmentally friendly technology created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory may revolutionize the production of the world's most commonly produced organic compound, ethylene. view more (2008-02-06)
Orientation of antenna protein in photosynthetic bacteria described
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have figured out the orientation of a protein in the antenna complex to its neighboring membrane in a photosynthetic bacterium, a key find in the process of energy transfer in photosynthesis. view more (2009-04-03)
Anti-wrinkle compound causes pathological reaction in skin cells
Researchers from Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine have discovered that a compound commonly used in many antiwrinkle products causes a pathological reaction in skin cells. view more (2007-04-12)
Magnetic nanoparticles facilitate separations in 'one-pot' multi-step reactions
Using the unique properties of new nanometer-scale magnetic particles, researchers have for the first time separated for reuse two different catalysts from a multi-step chemical reaction done in a single vessel. view more (2006-03-15)
Role seen for cannabis in helping to alleviate allergic skin disease
Administering a substance found in the cannabis plant can help the body's natural protective system alleviate an allergic skin disease (allergic contact dermatitis), an international group of researchers from Germany, Israel, Italy, Switzerland and the U.S. has found. view more (2007-08-17)
Quantum computers could excel in modeling chemical reactions
Quantum computers would likely outperform conventional computers in simulating chemical reactions involving more than four atoms, according to scientists at Harvard University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Haverford College. view more (2008-11-21)
Synchrotron Sheds Light On Bacteria's Solar Cell
Researchers based at the University of Glasgow, using X-ray data collected at the Synchrotron Radiation Source (SRS) at CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, have made a major advance in our understanding of the process by which sunlight is converted to food energy, without which life on earth could not exist. The work is published this week (12 December... view more... (2003-12-12)
New discovery: if it weren't for this enzyme, decomposing pesticide would take millennia
An enzyme inside a bacterium that grows in the soil of potato fields can - in a split second - break down residues of a common powerful pesticide used for killing worms on potatoes, researchers have found. view more (2005-10-25)
Finely tuned laser strikes the right chord
Pulses of laser light can make molecules react in ways that are impossible using classical test-tube chemistry. Molecules vibrate, and each molecule has its own "tone," its own "melody." It's a question of finding the right key, and that is something that a "smart" laser beam can do. It can find its way to the... view more... (2002-05-30)

A new idea for how anti-aging products delay ripening of fruit and wilting of flowers
When plants encounter ethylene, a gas they also produce naturally as a hormone, the result is softening and ripening in the case of fruit, and wilting and fading in the case of flowers - all of which ethylene promotes. view more (2008-05-05)
