New Instrument Puts New Spin on Superconductors
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory are part of collaborative team that's used a brand new instrument at the DOE's Spallation Neutron Source to probe iron-arsenic compounds, the "hottest" new find in the race to explain and develop superconducting materials. view more (2008-10-13)
Study sheds important new light on inherited disorder causing iron overload
Research in today's New England Journal of Medicine (www.nejm.org) shows hereditary hemochromatosis is much more common than previously thought and will spur more study to determine who is most likely to develop complications from the debilitating and potentially fatal disease, write two faculty members at the Saint Louis University School of... view more...

Cannibal stars like their food hot, XMM-Newton reveals
ESA's XMM-Newton has seen vast clouds of superheated gas, whirling around miniature stars and escaping from being devoured by the stars' enormous gravitational fields-giving a new insight into the eating habits of the galaxy's 'cannibal' stars. view more (2006-03-24)
How to confirm the causes of iron deficiency anemia in young women
Iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) is commonly seen in women aged <50 years. The diagnostic workflow in young women affected by IDA is not clearly established. view more (2009-06-24)
Funerary monument reveals Iron Age belief that the soul lived in the stone
Archaeologists in southeastern Turkey have discovered an Iron Age chiseled stone slab that provides the first written evidence in the region that people believed the soul was separate from the body. view more (2008-11-18)
Prenatal multivitamins for undernourished women may reduce risk of low birth weight
Undernourished women who take a vitamin and mineral supplement while pregnant may be less likely than women taking only iron and folic acid supplements to have babies weighing less than 2,500 grams, and their newborns may be less likely to have morbidity in the first seven days of life. view more (2007-01-02)
Dressman - the ironing robot
The main objective of the Dressman robot is to dry and press shirts. On placing a damp shirt on the ironing figure, this dummy inflates with hot air in its interior, and thus puffs the shirt up, removing creases drying the garment (it has to be previously wet and undergone a spin-dry in a washing machine). The device has a heater box inside with... view more... (2004-05-27)
Deep-sea rocks point to early oxygen on Earth
Red jasper cored from layers 3.46 billion years old suggests that not only did the oceans contain abundant oxygen then, but that the atmosphere was as oxygen rich as it is today, according to geologists. view more (2009-03-25)
New UD technology removes viruses from drinking water
University of Delaware researchers have developed an inexpensive, nonchlorine-based technology that can remove harmful microorganisms, including viruses, from drinking water. view more (2007-02-28)

Sound turns solids into powder
The ancient alchemist's art of solvere et coagulare - dissolving and combining substances - evolved into an entire spectrum of modern processes. Grinding grain and baking bread are probably the most well-known. But it is not just in food processing technology, or in pharmaceuticals and the building materials industry that the condition of the... view more... (2003-04-24)
