Lighting the Way: Measuring Surface Tension Just Got Easier
Inventors at Oxford University have developed a new method to indirectly measure the surface tension of liquid by tracking reflected light intensity to assess the surface configuration. The procedure is reliable, repeatable, quick to set-up and use, contact-less and non-destructive. Surface tension measurement is an important tool in the... view more... (2003-09-05)
Surface tension drives segregation within cell mixtures
What does a mixture of two different kinds of cells have in common with a mixture of oil and water? The same basic force causes both mixtures to separate into two distinct regions. view more (2008-10-07)
Baby Beetles Inspire Pitt Researchers to Build 'Mini Boat' Powered by Surface Tension
Inspired by the aquatic wriggling of beetle larvae, a University of Pittsburgh research team has designed a propulsion system that strips away paddles, sails, and motors and harnesses the energy within the water's surface. view more (2009-01-22)
High arterial pulse pressure associated with high-tension open-angle glaucoma
Individuals with a high pulse pressure (the difference between the systolic [top number] and diastolic [bottom number] blood pressure), appear to have an increased risk for high-tension open-angle glaucoma. view more (2007-06-12)
Microfluidic device tests fluid compatibility
The key to a great party is inviting guests who mix well and don't instill tension among their fellow revelers. view more (2006-04-18)
MIT creates new oil-repelling material
MIT engineers have designed the first simple process for manufacturing materials that strongly repel oils. The material, which can be applied as a flexible surface coating, could have applications in aviation, space travel and hazardous waste cleanup. view more (2007-12-07)
Acupuncture cuts tension headache rates by almost half
Acupuncture is an effective treatment for tension headache, cutting rates for sufferers by almost half, shows a study on bmj.com this week. view more (2005-07-29)
Case closed: MIT gumshoes solve
Hey kids! Try this at home. Pour clean water onto a small plate. Wait for all the ripples to stop. view more (2007-07-18)
Migraine associated with anxiety and neurosis
A history of anxiety symptoms predicts migraine in adulthood, suggests research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. And childhood neck and back injuries almost double the risk of tension headaches in adulthood, the research shows. view more (2001-12-17)
Molecular motor works by detecting minute changes in force
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that the activity of a specific family of nanometer-sized molecular motors called myosin-I is regulated by force. The motor puts tension on cellular springs that allow vibrations to be detected within the body. view more (2008-07-10)
Physicist: Stars can be strange
According to the "Strange Matter Hypothesis," which gained popularity in the paranormal 1980's, nuclear matter, too, can be strange. view more (2006-12-19)
Stream of sand behaves like water
University of Chicago researchers recently showed that dry granular materials such as sands, seeds and grains have properties similar to liquid, forming water-like droplets when poured from a given source. view more (2009-06-25)
Sandia researchers develop unique 'surfactant' material
A unique class of materials developed by researchers at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, Calif., may prove useful in textile manufacturing, biomedical diagnostics, and other applications requiring the modification of surface properties of liquids or solids. view more (2005-06-08)
MIT researchers explain mystery of gravity fingers
Researchers at MIT recently found an elegant solution to a sticky scientific problem in basic fluid mechanics: why water doesn't soak into soil at an even rate, but instead forms what look like fingers of fluid flowing downward. view more (2008-12-12)
UCF professor finds new way deadly food-borne bacteria spread
University of Central Florida Microbiology Professor Keith Ireton has uncovered a previously unknown mechanism that plays an important role in the spread of a deadly food-borne bacterium. view more (2009-09-21)
Tissue rigidity promotes tumor progression
Most investigations into cancer have focused on chemical signals, but a new research study provides rare insight into how mechanical force can regulate cellular behavior. view more (2005-09-20)
Scientists determine structure of brain receptor implicated in epilepsy and PMT
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have published new research in the journal Molecular Pharmacology identifying the structure of a receptor in the brain implicated in conditions such as epilepsy and pre-menstrual tension. The same receptor has also been reported to be highly sensitive to... view more... (2008-03-10)
Engineers study brain folding in higher mammals
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis are finding common ground between the shaping of the brain and the heart during embryonic development. view more (2007-10-02)
Still irritating after all these years: Study of adult children and parents
The majority of parents and adult children experience some tension and aggravation with one another, a new study says. view more (2009-05-06)
Weightlifting increases pressure within the eye
Weightlifting may cause a temporary increase in pressure within the eye, with higher pressure occurring with breath-holding during a weightlifting exercise. view more (2006-09-12)
