Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have created polarized, spherical particles that spontaneously self-assemble into clusters with specific shapes and distributions of electric charge.   view more (2006-10-13)

No more loose screws!
Machine parts and tools with a functional coating made of diamond-like carbon are not only more wear-resistant than usual ones, but also smarter. At the Hanover Fair, visitors can see ”intelligent“ washers and tools that measure whether screws are sufficiently tight. ---------- Modern... view more (2002-04-16)

Tackling brake noise
The squeal of brakes is not just irritating and annoying, it damages cars and railway wheel squeal is a serious environmental concern, contributing significantly to inner city noise pollution. EUREKA project E! 2122 BRAKENOISE is tackling the friction-induced vibration that can cause such excessive... view more (2004-01-07)

Light-sensitive particles change chemistry at the flick of a switch
A light-sensitive, self-assembled monolayer that provides unique control over particle interactions has been developed by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.   view more (2006-03-27)

Media Invitation - Cosmology Prize to be awarded at IAU General Assembly, Tuesday 15 July
Two thousand astronomers from 65 countries will converge on the Darling Harbour Convention Centre in Sydney this coming week for the 25th triennial General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

Bio-inspired assembly of nanoparticle building blocks
Chemists at Rice University have discovered how to assemble gold and silver nanoparticle building blocks into larger structures based on a novel method that harkens back to one of nature's oldest known chemical innovations - the self-assembly of lipid membranes that surround every living cell.   view more (2006-11-28)

European Node officially handed to NASA
Six years of hard work came to fruition when ESA formally transferred ownership of Node 2 to NASA on 18 June 2003. This took place in the Space Station Processing Facility of the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The ceremony was attended by Alan Thirkettle, Head of the Development-Department of... view more (2003-06-26)

Researchers Create New Organic Gel Nanomaterials
Researchers have created organic gel nanomaterials that could be used to encapsulate pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic products and to build 3-D biological scaffolds for tissue engineering.   view more (2006-06-29)

Certain diseases, birth defects may be linked to failure of protein recycling system
A group of signaling proteins known as Wnt - which help build the human body's skin, bone, muscle and other tissues - depend on a complex delivery and recycling system to ensure their transport to tissue-building cell sites, according to a study at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.   view more (2007-12-21)

Researchers find level of special protein is critical to proper formation of muscles
Proper formation of the proteins that power heart and skeletal muscle seems to rely on a precise concentration of a "chaperone" protein known as UNC-45, according to a new study.   view more (2007-04-25)
