Welcome to the world of haptics for industrial applications
Haptic technology, or haptics, refers to the technology that connects the user to a computerized system via the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations and/or motions to the user. view more (2007-06-21)
First Images from New Instrument at the ESO VLT
On this occasion, ESO has issued a joint Press Release with three German institutes of the FORS Consortium that is published simultaneously at their respective websites. It contains several spectacular sky photos obtained with FORS during the past days. The original URL is: view more (1998-09-23)
Mini robots to undertake major tasks?
From cell manipulation to micro assembly, micro robots devised by an international team of researchers offer a glimpse of the future. view more (2006-02-27)
Building memories with actin
Memories aren't made of actin filaments. But their assembly is crucial for long-term potentiation (LTP), an increase in synapse sensitivity that researchers think helps to lay down memories. view more (2009-07-13)
Joint statement - International Space Station Heads of Agency meeting
Space agency leaders from the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan and Russia met today in Tokyo, Japan, to review and further promote International Space Station (ISS) cooperation. The meeting participants reviewed in detail the significant progress that has been made in the development and deployment of the ISS elements and in the... view more... (2002-12-06)
Double success for Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia scientists working on chromosome segregation
Lars Jansen's work on the formation of the centromere, a key cellular structure in powering and controlling chromosome segregation and accurate cell division, has just earned him a paper in Nature Cell Biology and a prestigious EMBO installation grant, of 50,000 euro per year, for a maximum of five years. view more (2009-07-01)
U-M physicists create first atomic-scale map of quantum dots
University of Michigan physicists have created the first atomic-scale maps of quantum dots, a major step toward the goal of producing "designer dots" that can be tailored for specific applications. view more (2009-09-30)
Fossilized liquid assembly: Nanomaterials research tool
From a butterfly's iridescent wing to a gecko's sticky foot, nature derives extraordinary properties from ordinary materials like wax and keratin. view more (2006-10-13)
Penn researchers discover 'modus operandi' of heart muscle protein
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have discovered that a protein called leiomodin (Lmod) promotes the assembly of an important heart muscle protein called actin. What's more, Lmod directs the assembly of actin to form the pumping unit of the heart. The findings appear in this week's issue of Science. view more (2008-04-11)
A Genome May Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
With the costs of genome sequencing rapidly decreasing, and with the infrastructure now developed for almost anyone with access to a computer to cheaply store, access, and analyze sequence information, emphasis is increasingly being placed on ways to apply genome data to real world problems, including reducing dependency on fossil fuel. view more (2009-05-13)
Research Fortnight 13 March issue: stories on the Roberts review, BBSRC funding, Welsh research reforms, the Home Office and HSE.
Roberts review proposes three career tracks Successive fixed-term contracts should not become a permanent career option for researchers, according to a report that is due to be presented to the Treasury in advance of the forthcoming government spending review. Instead, contract researchers should be allowed to follow one of three parallel tracks... view more... (2002-03-13)
Hoping for a fluorescent basket case
Although recent advances have raised hopes that a protective vaccine can be developed, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) remains a major public health problem. view more (2009-11-13)
Cellular dumping site is not garbage after all
Cells can reuse the chemical messengers that carry genetic information to the machinery that makes proteins. Sometimes cells shuttle the messengers to storage and later reactivate them to make proteins, according to new research. view more (2005-09-23)
New electron microscopy images reveal the assembly of HIV
Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) and the University Clinic Heidelberg, Germany, have produced a three-dimensional reconstruction of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), which shows the structure of the immature form of the virus at unprecedented detail. view more (2009-06-23)
A new focus for the mechanism of nerve growth
Researchers at Yale shed new light on the mechanism of nerve cell growth by identifying novel functions for a molecular "motor" protein, myosin-II, according to an article in the March issue of Nature Cell Biology. view more (2006-03-20)
Catching waves: Measuring self-assembly in action
By making careful observations of the growth of a layer of molecules as they gradually cover the surface of a small silicon rectangle, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and North Carolina State University (NCSU) have gained basic insights into how self-propagating self-assembly wave fronts develop and have... view more...

Scientists learn structure of enzyme in unusual virus
Biologists have determined the three-dimensional structure of an unusual viral enzyme that is required in the assembly of new viruses. view more (2007-09-18)
Brown Engineers Use DNA to Direct Nanowire Assembly and Growth
A research team led by Brown University engineers has harnessed the coding power of DNA to create zinc oxide nanowires on top of carbon nanotube tips. The feat, detailed in the journal Nanotechnology, marks the first time that DNA has been used to direct the assembly and growth of complex nanowires. view more (2006-07-17)
Researchers make nanosheets that mimic protein formation
University of Michigan researchers have discovered a way to make nanocrystals in a fluid assemble into free-floating sheets the same way some protein structures form in living organisms. view more (2006-10-13)
Matrix protein key to fighting viruses
Researchers from Durham University's Centre for Bioactive Chemistry are developing methods that show how proteins interact with cell membranes when a virus strikes. view more (2009-04-29)
