Another McGill/JGH breakthrough opens door to early Alzheimer's diagnosis
A new diagnostic technique which may greatly simplify the detection of Alzheimer's disease has been discovered by researchers at McGill University and the affiliated Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research at Montreal's Jewish General Hospital (JGH). view more (2009-06-17)
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)
New Technique Studies How Plastic Solar Cells Turn Sunlight into Electricity
A new analytical technique that uses infrared spectroscopy to study light-sensitive organic materials could lead to the development of cheaper, more efficient solar cells. view more (2006-12-12)
Studying component parts of living cells with carbon nanotube cellular probes
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great potential for use as cellular probes. As "nanopipes" they can be used to transport liquids to or from cells and inject solutions or drugs directly into individual cells and individual organelles within the cells. view more (2007-10-05)
On the Energy Trail: Berkeley Researchers Find New Details Following the Path of Solar Energy During Photosynthesis
Imagine a technology that would not only provide a green and renewable source of electrical energy, but could also help scrub the atmosphere of excessive carbon dioxide resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. view more (2008-04-28)
NASA Scientists Detect Spectrum of Planets Orbiting Other Stars
For the first time, scientists at Goddard have obtained a spectrum, or molecular fingerprint, of a planet orbiting another star. Using spectroscopy, scientists were able to identify silicon dust in clouds on a gas-giant planet called HD 209458b. That planet is located 150 light years from Earth. view more (2007-02-23)
Rutgers-Newark researcher discovers new motor protein mechanism linked to heart disease and strokes
Cardiomyopathy is an insidious disease which often strikes without warning and can lead to heart failure and eventual death. Although the disease can be traced to conditions such as high blood pressure, heart valve or arterial diseases and congenital heart defects, it is also caused by viral infections in the bloodstream. view more (2006-07-24)
0.2 second test for explosive liquids
Since a failed terrorist attack in 2006, plane passengers have not been able to carry bottles of liquid through security at airports, leaving some parched at the airport and others having expensive toiletries confiscated, but work by a group of physicists in Germany is paving the way to eliminate this necessary nuisance. view more (2009-10-21)
Building blocks of the future
Structure and properties of carbon nanostructures The discovery in 1985 of fullerenes, tiny carbon balls of nanometer dimensions, ushered in a new era in international science. Only a few years later (1991) scientific interest also started to focus on so-called carbon nanotubes. The discovery of improved production methods (1996) has meanwhile... view more... (2002-12-05)
Ultraviolet Light Reveals Secrets of Nanoscale Electronic Materials
An international team of scientists has used a novel technique to measure, for the first time, the precise conditions at which certain ultrathin materials spontaneously become electrically polarized. view more (2006-10-25)
Laser light may be able to detect diseases on the breath
A team of scientists at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado (CU) at Boulder, has shown that by sampling a person's breath with laser light they can detect molecules in the breath that may be markers for diseases like asthma or cancer. view more (2008-02-19)
Groundbreaking Discovery May Lead to Stronger Antibiotics
The last decade has seen a dramatic decline in the effectiveness of antibiotics, resulting in a mounting public health crisis across the world. A new breakthrough by University of Virginia researchers provides physicians and patients a potential new approach toward the creation of less resistant and more effective antibiotics. view more (2008-10-02)
New NIST reference material for peptide analysis
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued its first-ever reference material designed to improve the performance and reliability of experiments to measure the masses and concentrations of peptides in biomolecular samples. view more (2007-05-29)
From the Glass to the Brain in Six Minutes
Just one drink can quickly go to your head. Researchers in Heidelberg tested this well-known adage. view more (2009-06-16)
Vibrations key to efficiency of green fluorescent protein
University of California, Berkeley, chemists have discovered the secret to the success of a jellyfish protein whose green glow has made it the darling of biologists and the subject of the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. view more (2009-11-12)
'Frequency comb' spectroscopy proves to be powerful chemical analysis tool
Physicists at JILA have designed and demonstrated a highly sensitive new tool for real-time analysis of the quantity, structure and dynamics of a variety of atoms and molecules simultaneously, even in minuscule gas samples. view more (2006-03-17)
MIT creates 3-D images of living cell
A new imaging technique developed at MIT has allowed scientists to create the first 3D images of a living cell, using a method similar to the X-ray CT scans doctors use to see inside the body. view more (2007-08-13)
Old technology helps find new test for leg artery disease
Between 8 and 12 million Americans are affected by peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, where the arteries that bring blood to the legs are blocked by atherosclerotic plaque. view more (2006-06-07)
New tool gives researchers a glimpse of biomolecules in motion
The ability of biomolecules to flex and bend is important for the performance of many functions within living cells. view more (2009-01-14)
The dance of crystal structures
The word "crystal" is a technical term; iron and steel, for example, are crystals whereas glass is not. In fact, "crystal" means materials of a crystalline structure. view more (2004-11-10)
