Rolls-Royce announced today that it is establishing a new University Technology Centre (UTC) at the University of Manchester to study future generation 'more electric' engine technologies. view more (2004-11-12)
INTELLIGENT ANTI-CORROSION COATING GIVES TURBINES IMPROVED PROTECTION
British materials scientists have invented a revolutionary new protective coating for high performance industrial and marine gas turbines. The new system called Smartcoat, can adapt to different types of corrosion modifying its chemical structure in response. The new coating can protect turbines in a wide range of different corrosion scenarios,... view more... (1999-09-09)
NASA Assists Search for Woodpecker Thought to be Extinct
Unlike its more famous cartoon cousin Woody the Woodpecker, the ivory-billed woodpecker is thought to be extinct, or so most experts have believed for over half a century. view more (2006-08-07)
Virginia Tech's System X supercomputer provides super tool for simulation of cell division
Virginia Tech researchers in computer science and biology have used the university's supercomputer, System X, to create models and algorithms that make it possible to simulate the cell cycle — the processes leading to cell division. view more (2007-01-31)
Key to early diagnosis of autism may be in the placenta
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have discovered in the placenta what may be the earliest marker for autism, possibly helping physicians diagnose the condition at birth, rather than the standard age of two or older. view more (2006-06-26)
Physicists and engineers search for new dimension
The universe as we currently know it is made up of three dimensions of space and one of time, but researchers in the Department of Physics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech are exploring the possibility of an extra dimension. view more (2008-03-11)
Space tech to race at Le Mans this weekend
Space technology will thrust two cars into this year's legendary 24-hour Le Mans race. Thanks to new composite materials designed for space travel, the cars will be lighter and safer making them more competitive in the world-famous race that takes place this year from 14 to 15 June in France. Le Mans, which has been held every year since 1906,... view more... (2003-06-11)
BRIT1 allows DNA repair teams access to damaged sites
Like a mechanic popping the hood of a car to get at a faulty engine, a tumor-suppressing protein allows cellular repair mechanisms to pounce on damaged DNA by overcoming a barrier to DNA access. view more (2009-06-22)
Life elsewhere in Solar System could be different from life as we know it
The search for life elsewhere in the solar system and beyond should include efforts to detect what scientists sometimes refer to as "weird" life -- that is, life with an alternative biochemistry to that of life on Earth -- says a new report from the National Research Council. view more (2007-07-09)
Rolls-Royce and Cambridge University Extend Engine Research Link
Rolls-Royce and the University of Cambridge have announced the inauguration of a major new gas turbine research centre, based in Cambridge. In a unique new partnership with the University, Rolls-Royce is making a commitment to support research leaders through a rolling five-year agreement worth around £1.5 million annually. This will enable... view more... (2001-09-10)
University of Ulster Researcher Discovers Crocs That Time Forgot
A University of Ulster researcher has discovered a new population of cave dwelling crocodiles, never before seen outside their Saharan habitat. PhD student Tara Shine discovered the cave dwelling crocodiles while living in the remote African country of Mauritania as part of a two and a half year volunteer project. Previously unknown, except by... view more... (2002-04-30)
Fermilab collider experiments discover rare single top quark
Scientists of the CDF and DZero collaborations at the Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks. view more (2009-03-10)
Second Cluster pair soar into the skies above Baikonur
At 17.13 local time (13.13 CEST) today, the second pair of Cluster spacecraft lifted off from pad 6 at Baikonur Cosmodrome aboard a Soyuz-Fregat launch vehicle. On a scorching summer afternoon, with temperatures well over 40°C, conditions were perfect for this second act in the Cluster launch drama. Topped by a giant fairing emblazoned with a... view more...

Diamond conference at the Goethe University
From the 10 to 15 August, the casino on the Westend Campus will become the worldwide centre for diamond researchers from industry and academia. During this time, the mineralogists from the GeoZentrum of the Goethe University will host the 9th International Kimberlite Conference, which is the most important meeting related to this unique gemstone. view more (2008-08-12)
Fighting sound with sound, new modeling technique could quiet aircraft
Newly published research by a Princeton engineer suggests that understanding how air travels across the sunroof of a car may one day make jet engines less noisy. view more (2006-02-27)
Faster than the speed of sound: New control system has what it takes to guide experimental aircraft
When a jet is flying faster than the speed of sound, one small mistake can tear it apart. And when the jet is so experimental that it must fly unmanned, only a computer control system can pilot it. Ohio State University engineers have designed control system software that can do just that -- by adapting to changing conditions during a flight. view more (2009-04-30)
