In the first second of Creation
At the very beginning of the Universe both forms of matter existed in equal amounts. They should have cancelled themselves out leaving just energy. But, within a second, something happened to ensure that matter prevailed - and that the Universe could develop in the way that it did. BaBar should shed light on that critical event 15 billion years... view more... (1999-06-11)
TU Delft and TNO combine knowledge of explosive reactions
The explosions group of TU Delft and TNO-PML are starting an intensive co-operative research programme in the field of explosion safety. Their knowledge will be combined in the 'Knowledge Centre for Reactive Gas-dynamics and Explosion Safety,' which opens on 18 July 2001. The knowledge and experience of both research groups is especially... view more... (2001-07-17)
Secret Lives of Catalysts Revealed
The first-ever glimpse of nanoscale catalysts in action could lead to improved pollution control and fuel cell technologies. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory observed catalysts restructuring themselves in response to various gases swirling around them, like a chameleon changing its color to... view more...

EU chemical and biotech players join forces to foster sustainable and competitive chemistry
Although Europe is a world leader in chemical production, holding 28% of the world market, its proportion of global trade has dropped by 4% over the past decade. Today in Brussels chemical and biotechnology sector organisations CEFIC and EuropaBIO, with the support of the European Commission, launched a European "Technology Platform on... view more...

At that star, turn left!
Our bodies contain proteins that are made of smaller molecules that can be either left- or right-handed, depending upon their structure. Regardless of which hand we use to write, however, all human beings are `left-handed` at the molecular level. Life on Earth uses the left-handed variety and no one knows how this preference crept into living... view more... (2002-10-17)

New lab test offers better prediction of HIV microbicide safety
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have devised a laboratory test for predicting whether microbicides against HIV are safe for human use. view more (2009-07-10)
Children`s disruptive behaviour can be linked to food choice
Hyperactivity, attention deficit disorder, dyslexia and antisocial or aggressive behaviour in children can be traced back to what they eat. According to Dr Neil Ward from the University of Surrey’s Chemistry department, some children can react to the additives, preservatives and colourants in food products, causing certain behavioural... view more...

New Laboratory opens in Antarctica
A new £3 million laboratory was opened at the British Antarctic Survey's (BAS) Rothera Research Station on Saturday (10 January 2004). Many of the scientists and support staff at the station were present for the formal opening ceremony by Natural Environment Research Council Chief Executive, Professor John Lawton, who unveiled a plaque. view more (2004-01-12)
Growing whiskers that won`t need shaving
As manufacturers try to incorporate more and more functions into electronic gadgets like mobile phones and laptop computers, and at the same time decrease their size, the need for smaller electronic circuit components increases. At the 26th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors in Edinburgh on Thursday 1 August, Prof Lars... view more... (2002-07-23)
Size matters: Obesity leading risk factor of left atrial enlargement during aging
Aside from aging itself, obesity appears to be the most powerful predictor of left atrial enlargement (LAE), upping one's risk of atrial fibrillation (the most common type of arrhythmia), stroke and death. view more (2009-11-10)
New study shows epidural during birth may negatively affect breastfeeding
Epidurals given during labour and birth are associated with decreased rates of breastfeeding, both in the short and long term. view more (2006-12-11)
Vibrations key to efficiency of green fluorescent protein
University of California, Berkeley, chemists have discovered the secret to the success of a jellyfish protein whose green glow has made it the darling of biologists and the subject of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. view more (2009-11-12)
World's oldest ritual discovered
A startling archaeological discovery this summer changes our understanding of human history. While, up until now, scholars have largely held that man's first rituals were carried out over 40, 000 years ago in Europe, it now appears that they were wrong about both the time and place. view more (2006-11-30)
Immune reaction to metal debris leads to early failure of joint implants
Researchers at Rush University Medical Center have identified a key immunological defense reaction to the metals in joint replacement devices, leading to loosening of the components and early failure. view more (2009-03-05)
ANALYTICA 2004: Biochip Helps Avoid Allergic Reactions
Within the EU project "CD-CHEF" the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) is involved in the development of a biosensor for the detection of gluten in food. As a disposable chip the biosensor permits the standardised extraction and analysis of food samples. At Analytica, the experts from Mainz present a first functional model which... view more...
