Leeds awarded £2.3m to map protein structure
The University of Leeds has been awarded £2.3m to map the structure of membrane proteins, so that drugs can be designed to more effectively target widespread diseases including diabetes, cancer and bacterial infections. The funds were awarded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences... view more (2004-04-17)

Protein discovery could unlock the secret to better TB treatment
UCL scientists have found a protein that could unlock the secret to quicker, more effective treatment of TB by waking TB bacteria in the body. Once the TB bacteria are active again, the disease becomes treatable using common drugs like antibiotics. Scientists believe that uncovering the molecular... view more (2005-02-28)

Diatoms discovered to remove phosphorus from oceans
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have discovered a new way that phosphorus is naturally removed from the oceans -- its stored in diatoms. The discovery opens up a new realm of research into an element that's used for reproduction, energy storage and structural materials in every... view more (2008-05-05)

Perfect packaging
Corrugated cardboard is an excellent packaging material that is widely used for transporting, storing and protecting goods. Through the new process developed by EUREKA project E! 1929 FACTORY FOLDHEX, corrugated cardboard can be transformed into a new honeycomb core that offers reduced weight, uses... view more (2004-12-01)

Molecular motors may speed nutrient processing
Matthew Tyska, Ph.D., recalls being intrigued, from the first day of his postdoctoral fellowship in 1999, with a nearly 30-year-old photograph. It was an electron micrograph that showed the internal structures of an intestinal cell microvillus, a finger-like protrusion on the cell surface.... view more (2007-05-31)

Barrow researchers identify a new approach to detect the early progression of brain tumors
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center recently participated in a pilot study with the Montreal Neurological Institute that suggests a certain type of MRI scanning can detect when a patient is failing brain tumor treatment before symptoms appear.   view more (2008-08-29)

New partnership provides boost for powder process manufacturing
The ability for UK manufacturing industry to compete in world markets received a major boost with the announcement on 5 September by Trade Secretary Patricia Hewitt of a new Faraday Partnership for Rapid Manufacturing through Powder Processing. "Faraday Partnerships play a vital role by... view more (2002-09-10)

High resolution 'snapshots' detail dynamics of a cocaine antibody
Cocaine-binding antibodies have shown some promise in their ability to neutralize cocaine toxicity, but their binding ability is severely impaired by high concentrations of the drug.   view more (2006-02-09)

Catalyst-free chemistry makes self-healing materials more practical
A new catalyst-free, self-healing material system developed by researchers at the University of Illinois offers a far less expensive and far more practical way to repair composite materials used in structural applications ranging from airplane fuselages to wind-farm propeller blades.   view more (2007-11-28)

CCLRC to play pivotal role in e-science
CCLRC (Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils) welcomes the government's announcement today that offers extra funding for e-science. The extra £5 million over three years awarded to CCLRC will enable it to drive the development of e-science as a key technology for the... view more (2000-11-22)

Secret of Worm's Poison Pill Box Protein Could Produce New Natural Insecticide
Researchers at the University of Warwick have discovered how a protein from a bacterium acts like a cunningly designed poison pill box that could now be used as a basis of a new range of natural insecticides.   view more (2007-03-13)

Brains of Britain
Two young people are set to represent Britain in, not one school science Olympiad, but two! This is equivalent to an international athlete running in the hundred metres and then throwing the javelin. Erica Thompson, from the Douglas Academy in Glasgow and David Wyatt from Winchester College are... view more (2002-05-08)

Artificial sight
An engineering team at the University of Dundee has just secured funding to work with European colleagues on the construction of artificial corneas which will allow all cornea replacements to go ahead without the patient having to wait for a donor. The Euro 2.4m project will help people who suffer... view more (2004-06-03)
