Study suggests why some animals live longer
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a new method to detect proteins associated with longevity, which helps further our understanding into why some animals live longer than others. View More (2012-03-30)
Microbiologists meet Scottish Parliament to discuss the environment
Environmental issues such as waste management, GM crops, energy and pollution dominate much of the work of the Scottish Parliament. MSPs will be able to find out about the latest research from scientists at this year's 'Science and the Parliament' event today, Wednesday, 12 November at The Signet Library, Edinburgh. Experts from the Society for General Microbiology (SGM) will be amongst the... View More (2003-11-07)
Tecnalia investigates ecological cement that cuts CO2 emissions by up to 100%
The Tecnalia Construction Unit, within the framework of its commitment to sustainability, has developed a new generation of environmentally-friendly cements that enable cutting direct CO2 emissions to the atmosphere by up to 100%. View More (2010-07-19)
Environmental Manufacturing Could Stem UK Manufacturing Slump
Professor Sir Kumar Bhattacharyya , one of the UK's Leading Manufacturing experts, will, on Tuesday 20th April, tell an international conference at the University of Warwick that environmentally aware manufacturing is the one remaining thing that can stem the quarter century long slump in volume manufacturing in the UK and Europe. Professor Sir Kumar Bhattacharyya, head of the Warwick... View More (2004-04-19)
Using waste to recover waste uranium
Using bacteria and inositol phosphate, a chemical analogue of a cheap waste material from plants, researchers at Birmingham University have recovered uranium from the polluted waters from uranium mines. View More (2009-09-08)
Scientists find gold-plated fossil solution
An international team of scientists in the University of Leicester's Department of Geology has found a solution to a research problem involving fossils right next door - in the University's Chemistry Department. View More (2012-05-23)
Organic Labels Bias Consumers Perceptions through the "Health halo effect"
The word "organic" can mean many things to consumers. Even so, the power of an organic label can be very strong: studies have shown that this simple label can lead us to think that a food is healthier, through what is known as the 'health halo effect'. View More (2013-04-02)
Southampton researchers develop novel method for detecting vCJD prions on surgical instruments
Researchers from the University of Southampton, together with Surrey-based diagnostics company, Microgen Bioproducts Limited, and microscopy specialists, Best Scientific of Swindon, are developing important new methods for detecting prions- the proteins implicated in sporadic and variant Creutzfeld-Jakob disease (CJD) - on surgical instruments. Prion proteins have been shown to resist the... View More (2002-09-26)
New microscopic life aboard the RMS Titanic
A brand-new bacterial species has been found aboard the RMS Titanic, which is contributing to its deterioration. The discovery reveals a potential new microbial threat to the exterior of ships and underwater metal structures such as oil rigs. View More (2010-12-07)
Findings show promise for nuclear fusion test reactors
Researchers have discovered mechanisms critical to interactions between hot plasma and surfaces facing the plasma inside a thermonuclear fusion reactor, part of work aimed at developing coatings capable of withstanding the grueling conditions inside the reactors. View More (2010-07-28)
Researchers have made the production of batteries cheaper and safer
Researchers at Aalto University, Finland have developed a method for producing lithium batteries that is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than previously used methods. View More (2012-11-14)
Study uncovers mechanism used by BRCA1 to suppress tumors
A new study by Georgetown University Medical Center researchers reveals how a well-known tumor suppressor gene may be functioning to stop cancer cell growth. View More (2012-12-17)
A cosmic superbubble
The Large Magellanic Cloud is a small neighbouring galaxy to the Milky Way. It contains many regions where clouds of gas and dust are forming new stars. One such region, surrounding the star cluster NGC 1929, is shown in close-up in this new image from ESO's Very Large Telescope. View More (2011-07-20)
CPR-training rates low in Toronto
Almost half the high schools in Toronto do not teach students how to perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR), even though it's part of the Grade 9 curriculum and studies have shown it can greatly increase the survival rates of people who suffer heart attacks outside of hospitals.

Astronomers weigh 'recycled' millisecond pulsar
A team of U.S. and Australian astronomers is announcing today that they have, for the first time, precisely measured the mass of a millisecond pulsar - a tiny, dead star spinning hundreds of times every second. View More (2006-01-13)
Seaweed as biofuel? Metabolic engineering makes it a viable option
Is red seaweed a viable future biofuel? Now that a University of Illinois metabolic engineer has developed a strain of yeast that can make short work of fermenting galactose, the answer is an unequivocal yes. View More (2010-12-16)
Recycling of Aeronautics Components
The use of composite materials in the aeronautic industry has been increasing since (in the 70s in the North American market and the 80s in Europe) they started to be used in commercial aviation as a substitute for classic materials such as metals. View More (2006-01-05)
Gene linked to severity of autism's social dysfunction
With the help of two sets of brothers with autism, Johns Hopkins scientists have identified a gene associated with autism that appears to be linked very specifically to the severity of social interaction deficits. View More (2011-04-07)
Plastics that resemble PVC - without chlorine
Even non-chemists know at least the abbreviations of those nasty substances: DDT is a highly persistent insecticide, CFCs used as propellants and refrigerants destroy atmospheric ozone, and PVC stands for plastics often regarded with suspicion. Add PCBs and PCP to this cocktail, and you can't help wondering why industry doesn't simply stop using these substances or replace them with something... View More (2003-05-22)
Nonvenomous Asian snakes 'borrow' defensive poison from toxic toads
Most snakes are born with poisonous bites they use for defense. But what can non-poisonous snakes do to ward off predators? View More (2007-01-31)
