The sweet smell of nano-success
Materials scientists at Lehigh University and catalyst chemists at Cardiff University have uncovered secrets of the "nanoworld" that promise to lead to cleaner methods of producing, among other things, spices and perfumes. view more (2006-01-30)
Cooperative system could wipe out car alarm noise
The persistent, annoying blare of an ignored car alarm may become a sound of the past if a cooperative, mutable and silent network of monitors proposed by Penn State researchers is deployed in automobiles and parking lots. view more (2008-06-25)
Cornell sleuths crack secret codes of Europe's Galileo satellite
Members of Cornell's Global Positioning System (GPS) Laboratory have cracked the so-called pseudo random number (PRN) codes of Europe's first global navigation satellite, despite efforts to keep the codes secret. view more (2006-07-10)
Satellite road management being developed in Lisbon
The European Space Agency is working with Portuguese organisations on how space technology can improve road safety. Each year in Europe, 40 000 people die and 1 700 000 are injured in road accidents. Statistics show that one in three Europeans will become road accident victims during the course of their lifetime. These appalling figures are from... view more... (2003-11-21)
Researchers set sights on data transmission world record - Photon02
A research team, led by Dr Stuart Walker from Essex University, claims to have developed a data transmission method which can achieve world record telecommunications data rates, of over a terabit (one trillion binary digits) per second, on optical fibres which already exist in the majority of in-building communications networks throughout the... view more...

GSU professor develops new method to help keep fruit, vegetables and flowers fresh
Did you know that millions of tons of fruits and vegetables in the United States end up in the trash can before being eaten, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture? view more (2009-10-21)
Search for blood pressure secrets reveals a surprising new syndrome
Yale researchers investigating the genetic causes of blood pressure variation have identified a previously undescribed syndrome associated with seizures, a lack of coordination, developmental delay and hearing loss. view more (2009-03-17)
Tyre sensor will increase driver safety / caesar Research Center at the Hanover Fair
You break on black ice or on a wet highway, friction is almost zero and your car goes into a skid: A scenario which will be avoided in future. Scientists at the caesar Research Center in Bonn are developing a new technology for improving vehicle safety still further. At the Hanover Fair caesar will be presenting from April 7 to 12, 2003, on the... view more... (2003-04-02)
Omega-6 fats cause prostate tumors to grow twice as fast
Omega-6 fatty acids-such as those found in corn oil-caused human prostate tumors in cell culture to grow twice as quickly as tumors to which omega-6 fats had not been added, according to a study conducted at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. view more (2006-02-01)
The bonsai effect: Wounded plants make jasmonates, inhibiting cell division, stunting growth
It is well known that plants growing under unfavourable conditions are generally smaller than those growing in stress-free conditions: indeed it is estimated that in the US, abiotic stress reduces the yield of agricultural crops by an average of 22%. view more (2008-11-12)
Caltech researchers explore how cells reconcile mixed messages in decisions about growth
The cells in our body are constantly receiving mixed messages. For instance, an epithelial cell might be exposed to one signal telling it to divide and, simultaneously, another telling it to stop dividing. view more (2009-06-19)
New record for information storage and retrieval lifetime advances quantum networks
Physicists have taken a significant step toward creation of quantum networks by establishing a new record for the length of time that quantum information can be stored in and retrieved from an ensemble of very cold atoms. view more (2008-12-08)
Key regulator of blood glucose levels discovered
In many patients with type 2 diabetes, the liver acts like a sugar factory on overtime, churning out glucose throughout the day, even when blood glucose levels are high. view more (2005-09-08)
Undergrad academic performance linked to neural signals
Students will have to use their brains to get good grades at school this year, according to new University of Toronto research that relates brain activity to undergraduate academic performance. view more (2009-09-09)
U-M discovery about biological clocks overturns long-held theory
University of Michigan mathematicians and their British colleagues say they have identified the signal that the brain sends to the rest of the body to control biological rhythms, a finding that overturns a long-held theory about our internal clock. view more (2009-10-09)
Ume'å physiologists describe a new principle for information coding in the nervous system
How does the nervous system code, transmit, and process the information that steers our behaviour? Ronald S. Johansson's research team at Ume'å University in Sweden is now publishing its discovery of a new principle for this. The prevailing view is that information is coded and transmitted by variations in the number of nerve impulses per... view more... (2004-01-20)
New technique boosts protein NMR imaging speeds
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, or SSNMR, is a valuable tool to image and analyze the chemical makeup of proteins and other biomolecules. But the imaging process is time-consuming and requires large amounts of costly isotope-labeled sample for study. view more (2009-02-10)
Tiny tool to control growing blood vessels opens new potential in tumor research
Researchers at Uppsala University have developed a new tool that makes it possible to study the signals in the body that control the generation of blood vessels. view more (2009-02-23)
New Technology Could Transform Every Train into A High Speed Cracked Rail Detector
Researchers in the University of Warwick's Department of Physics have developed a novel non-contact method of using ultrasound to detect and measure cracks and flaws in rail track - particularly gauge corner cracking - that has the potential to simply be attached to a normal passenger or freight train travelling at high speeds. Current ultrasonic... view more... (2004-07-05)
Large earthquakes may broadcast warnings, but is anyone tuning in to listen?
Like geological ninjas, earthquakes can strike without warning. But there may be a way to detect the footfalls of large earthquakes before they strike, alerting their potential victims a week or more in advance. A Stanford professor thinks a method to provide just such warnings may have been buried in the scientific literature for over 40 years. view more (2007-12-13)
