New materials for high efficiency organic solid state lighting
A new organic molecule developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists may significantly improve the efficiency of organic solid state lighting. Direct conversion of electricity to light in "solid state" thin films of organic molecules occurs in organic light emitting devices which can be far more efficient than... view more... (2006-03-30)

Standards set for energy-conserving LED lighting
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in cooperation with national standards organizations, have taken the lead in developing the first two standards for solid-state lighting in the United States. view more (2008-06-30)
'Supersolid' or melted 'superfluid' film: A quantum difference
New calculations support an alternative to "superfluidity" of a solid as the explanation for the behavior of an isotope of helium, 4He, at temperatures approaching Absolute Zero, according to a report in Physical Review Letters. view more (2005-06-16)
NMR researchers unlock hydrogen's secrets to spot polymorphism in pharmaceuticals
Researchers at the University of Warwick and Astra Zeneca have found a new way to use solid-state NMR equipment to crack the secrets of hydrogen atoms and thus spot unwanted polymorphs in pharmaceuticals. view more (2007-10-18)
Nobel Laureates published with IoPP
Institute of Physics Publishing (IoPP) is proud to note that five of the 2003 Nobel Prize winners have published important works with its journals. Many of these have been key papers, which have contributed to their success today. Sir Peter Mansfield, joint winner of the Nobel Prize in Medicine, has published a total of 25 papers relating to... view more... (2003-10-07)
University of the Basque Country researcher makes progress in optimising solid oxide fuel cells
While our standard of life increases, so does the worldwide energy demand. In this vein, the application of technologies based on fuel cells is put forward as an alternative to the massive consumption of fossil fuels. view more (2009-09-18)
Pitt researchers create new form of matter
Physicists at the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated a new form of matter that melds the characteristics of lasers with those of the world's best electrical conductors. view more (2007-05-21)
Aluminum-oxide nanopore beats other materials for DNA analysis
Fast and affordable genome sequencing has moved a step closer with a new solid-state nanopore sensor being developed by researchers at the University of Illinois. view more (2009-06-03)
Bird fall-out measures radioactive fall-out
Jim Clapp (University of Ulster) will reveal how bird droppings can be used to measure radioactive fall-out in the environment. Solid urate spheres found in bird excretions can be screened for man-made pollutants such as radioactive caesium, providing a new non-invasive way to monitor the environment. Mr. Clapp will present his latest results... view more... (2004-03-30)
Green light for two new programmes : Vega Small Launcher and P80 Advanced Solid Booster
The Vega Small Launcher Development programme and the P80 Advanced Solid Propulsion Stage Demonstrator programme were formally approved on 15 December by the participating States. Belgium, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland (Spain~s decision still pending) have decided to proceed with full development of the Vega small launcher.... view more... (2000-12-19)
Natural antibiotics yield secrets to atom-level imaging technique
Frog skin and human lungs hold secrets to developing new antibiotics, and a technique called solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a key to unlocking those secrets. view more (2007-03-05)
Bose-Einstein condensation in the solid state
New experimental research shows that half-matter, half-light quasi-particles called polaritons show compelling evidence of Bose-Einstein condensation at the relatively high temperature of 19 degrees Kelvin. view more (2006-09-28)
ETH Researchers Visualize the Binding of Proteins to the Nuclear Surface
Not only the genetic information of individual cells, but also that of the entire organism is stored within the cell nucleus. Each cell of a multicellular organism, e.g. man, contains the identical DNA sequences. The communication between the cell nucleus and the remainder of the cell is thus decisive for the correct functioning of the cells and... view more... (2003-01-15)
Study recommends new tool to assess blunt abdominal trauma
Contrast-enhanced sonography compared with sonography and CT proves to be a useful tool in the assessment of blunt abdominal trauma, concludes a study conducted by the departments of emergency, internal medicine, and radiology at the University of Bologna in Bologna, Italy. view more (2006-06-30)
A long-term survival offered by resection of solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas?
The article published in volume 14 issue 6 of World Journal of Gastroenterology reports on one patient who presented to Dr Cosimo Sperti of University of Padua, Padova, Italy, in 2001 after an exploratory laparotomy performed in another hospital for an unresectable pancreatic cystic mass that had infiltrated the portal vein. view more (2008-03-13)
