Robotic assembly of fuel cells could hasten hydrogen economy
"The U.S. Department of Energy has suggested that the cost of manufacturing fuel cells is the single biggest obstacle on the road to the hydrogen economy," says Raymond Puffer, co-director of the FMC. view more (2005-11-09)
Manchester scientists create new bio-gel for 3D cell culture
Scientists at The University of Manchester have created a new type of 'bio-gel' which provides a pH neutral environment for culturing cells in 3D, as published in the journal Advanced Materials (March 2006). view more (2006-03-06)
'Artificial Golgi' may provide new insight into key cell structure
Scientists in New York and North Carolina are reporting assembly of the first functioning prototype of an artificial Golgi organelle. view more (2009-07-29)
Large Area High Definition Television (HDTV) prototype based on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) Light Valves.
The microsystems group TFCG/IMEC at the University of Gent has developed a large area High Definition Television (HDTV) prototype based on Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS) light valves. This work is carried out in collaboration with the Taiwanese company TMDC. The LCoS HDTV is most suited for multimedia and DVD home-theater applications. The R&D... view more... (2003-04-30)
Molecular 'signature' protects cells from viruses
Every cell constantly produces a whole arsenal of proteins. The instruction what is to be built comes from the cell nucleus: this is where the DNA is stored, the heredity molecule in which, so to speak, the construction blueprints for all cellular proteins are stored. view more (2006-10-13)
Top female physicist delivers the Holweck lecture in London
Dr Catherine Bréchignac, director of research at the Centre Nationale de Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France, gave the Holweck Prize lecture on Friday 21 November 2003 as the first female winner of this prestigious prize, awarded annually jointly by the Institute of Physics and the Société Fran'§aise de Physique (French... view more...

HIRA, a new factor in the genome's 3D organizational assembly chain
At the heart of every cell, vital information is "written" on the DNA, a long molecular ribbon almost one meter long bundled inside the nucleus of the cell. For the DNA to fit inside this small space, it is rolled up like a ball of yarn in a highly organized structure called chromatin. Beyond its purely structural role, the spatial... view more...

Scripps scientists create first crystal structure of an intermediate particle in virus assembly
The structure, described February 8 in an advance online publication of the journal Nature, provides fresh insights into the elegant dance that viral proteins perform to create the infectious structure that causes all manner of misery and disease, say researchers. view more (2009-02-09)
A novel mechanism of action for anti-tumor agent, CA4P
Anti-angiogenic agents have been successful in the clinic for blocking the growth of solid tumors. However, these agents used in combination with chemotherapy have improved the survival of patients with cancers by only several months. view more (2005-10-07)
Scripps Florida scientists develop a process to disrupt hepatitis C virion production
HCV is a significant human pathogen, infecting more than three percent of the world's population. The incidence of infection in the United States has been estimated to be as high as 4 million cases. view more (2008-03-24)
New insight into human ciliopathy
In the September 1st issue of G&D, Dr. Karen Oegema (UCSD) and colleagues identify the molecular basis of the lethal developmental disorder, hydrolethalus syndrome, and reveal that hydrolethalus syndrome actually belongs to the emerging class of human ciliopathy diseases. view more (2009-08-04)
International Space Station Heads of Agency Meeting
Space agency leaders from the United States, Russia, Japan, Europe and Canada met today at the ESA Technical Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands, to discuss International Space Station (ISS) cooperation activities. At this meeting, the ISS Partnership unanimously endorsed the ISS technical configuration and reviewed the status of ISS... view more... (2004-07-23)
Self-Assembled Materials Form Mini Stem Cell Lab
Imagine having one polymer and one small molecule that instantly assemble into a flexible but strong sac in which you can grow human stem cells, creating a sort of miniature laboratory. view more (2008-03-28)
Membrane complexes take flight
Against currently held dogma, scientists at the Universities of Cambridge and Bristol have revealed that the interactions within membrane complexes can be maintained intact in the vacuum of a mass spectrometer. Their research is published in this week's edition of Science Express. view more (2008-06-13)
New findings solve human origins mystery
An extraordinary advance in human origins research reveals evidence of the emergence of the upright human body plan over 15 million years earlier than most experts have believed. view more (2007-10-10)
Innovative acoustic guitar designed at Loughborough
Unlike traditional wooden acoustic guitars, the primary sound-generating components of this new instrument are constructed from plastics. Designer Owain Pedgley, a former PhD student at Loughborough who worked on the guitar in collaboration with leading English luthier Rob Armstrong, said, "This new instrument pushes forward the boundaries of... view more...

VTT technology helps in the assembly of microscopic components
Nowadays, micro-sized components that are invisible to the human eye are already being used both in electronics products and elsewhere. Components range from a millimetre to a micrometre in size and are getting even smaller. VTT has developed a unique prototype machine viewer system for use in the assembly and quality inspection of parts in this... view more... (2001-12-05)
