DMC spacecraft ready for launch on Friday
24 September 2003 A joint team of SSTL, Nigerian and Turkish engineers have completed the preparation, test and integration of all three spacecraft due for launch onboard Kosmos at 06:09 GMT on Friday 26 September 2003. view more (2003-09-24)
MSG-1 weather satellite ready for commissioning
ESA PR 61-2002. The first of Eumetsat`s new generation of weather satellites, MSG-1, has arrived on station at 10.5°W in geostationary orbit at 36,000 kilometres above the Earth. After separation from the Ariane-5 launcher on 29 August, ESA's European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt took the spacecraft under control on behalf of... view more... (2002-09-27)
Professor sheds light on DNA mechanisms
By manipulating individual atoms in DNA and forming unique molecules, a Georgia State University researcher hopes to open new avenues in research towards better understanding the mechanisms of DNA replication and transcription, and perhaps leading to new treatments for diseases. view more (2009-07-20)
The gigantic respiration of crystalline solids
Previously, only amorphous polymer materials approached such levels of performance. On the other hand, these "gigantic respiration" and their respiration, which takes place at constant overall shape, is reversible. This discovery, of interest for numerous industrial applications, is published in the journal Science on March 30, 2007. view more (2007-04-02)
Beta Pictoris planet finally imaged?
A team of French astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered an object located very close to the star Beta Pictoris, and which apparently lies inside its disc. view more (2008-11-24)
Clash of clusters provides new dark matter clue
A powerful collision between galaxy clusters has been captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This clash of clusters provides striking evidence for dark matter and insight into its properties. view more (2008-08-28)
Water detection at Gusev crater described
A large team of NASA scientists, led by earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis details the first solid set of evidence for water having existed on Mars at the Gusev crater, exploration site of the rover Spirit. view more (2005-09-08)
Mitochondrial genes move to the nucleus
Why mitochondrial genes ditch their cushy haploid environs to take up residence in a large and chaotic nucleus has long stumped evolutionary biologists, but Indiana University Bloomington scientists report in this week's Science that they've uncovered an important clue in flowering plants. view more (2007-03-23)
Is divorce bad for the parents?
The elderly are cared for by their adult children regardless of their marital status. In a unique study funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, researchers found British adult children help their elderly parents according to current need (i.e. health) rather than past behaviour. view more (2008-05-12)
Delft researcher develops design-rules for transport networks
Large changes unnecessary for multimodal transport Multimodal transport is not in need of redesigned networks, rather of well designed ones. This is one of the conclusions from the PhD research of Rob van Nes, who will defend his thesis on Wednesday 25 September at TU Delft. "A highway with too many on and off ramps actually becomes a main... view more... (2002-09-24)
Low-cost microfluidics can be a sticky problem
A deceptively simple approach to bonding thermoplastic microchannel plates together with solvent could be used for low-cost, high-volume production of disposable "lab-on-a-chip" devices, according to researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and George Mason University (GMU). view more (2006-05-15)
Molds for Molecules
Molecular imprints in polymers as reaction vessels for pharmaceuticals research Materials with the tiniest of cavities, which can take up other molecules as "guests", play a meaningful role in science and technology. A particularly interesting process for the synthesis of materials with precisely fitted cavities is known as molecular imprinting.... view more... (2002-11-28)
Wet ethanol production process yields more ethanol and more co-products
Using a wet ethanol production method that begins by soaking corn kernels rather than grinding them, results in more gallons of ethanol and more usable co-products, giving ethanol producers a bigger bang for their buck - by about 20 percent. view more (2009-11-10)
Medical profession attempts to "clean up" relations with drug industry
As entanglement between doctors and drug grows, a two-part article by journalist Ray Moynihan in this week’s BMJ explores the brewing conflicts at one of the world’s leading medical institutions over how to redefine relations with big pharmaceutical companies. view more (2003-05-28)
