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... 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)

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)

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)

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... view more (2008-03-10)

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)

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)

Study Suggests Tension Headache May Actually Be TMJD
People whose recurrent headaches have been diagnosed as tension-related actually may be suffering from temporomandibular muscle and joint disorder, or TMJD, a study headed by a researcher from the University at Buffalo's School of Dental Medicine has shown.   view more (2006-05-15)

Sports hernia repair technique coupled with innovative rehabilitation program speeds return to play
Surgical repair of athletic hernia using tension-free mesh and a standardized rehabilitation protocol are successful in returning athletes to competition.   view more (2007-07-16)

Ground breaking research to end in tears
University of Western Sydney researcher, Associate Professor Tom Millar has approached the problem of dry eyes from a new perspective. He re-examined the structure and function of natural tears to find new clues for creating longer lasting artificial tears.   view more (2007-05-30)

Wetter report: New approach to testing surface adhesion
With a nod to one of nature's best surface chemists—an obscure desert beetle—polymer scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have devised a convenient way to construct test surfaces with a variable affinity for water, so that the same surface can range... view more (2007-05-14)

A molecular 'salve' to soothe surface stresses
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have shown for the first time that a single layer of molecular "salve" can significantly soothe the stresses affecting clean metal surfaces.   view more (2008-05-30)

Liquid ventilation
The main problem that premature babies have is that their lungs are not well formed. In order to alleviate this situation, the Nautical School at the University of the Basque Country has developed a liquid respiration respirator.   view more (2006-03-29)

'Armored' bubbles can exist in stable non-spherical shapes
Researchers at Harvard University have demonstrated that gas bubbles can exist in stable non-spherical shapes without the application of external force.   view more (2005-12-15)

Tissue stiffness drives tumor formation
The relationship between tissue rigidity and tumor formation is fairly well established; however, what is not so well understood is what happens on a molecular level that contributes to such stiffness.   view more (2005-09-23)

Sports hernia repair surgery plus innovative rehab program helps athletes return to play
In recent years, sports hernias have sidelined many high-level athletes for months and, occasionally, prevented a return to competitive sports all together.   view more (2007-07-16)

3-D computer simulation to aid treatment of collapsed lungs
The treatment of premature babies and adults who suffer from Respiratory Distress Syndrome could be boosted by new research at The University of Manchester, as published in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering.   view more (2006-07-26)
