Trust mergers have negative effect on NHS services
The merger of NHS trusts has a negative effect on the delivery of NHS services, causes delays to service improvements and fails to deliver promised cash savings or improve staff recruitment and retention, says a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers based at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine studied the process of merger in nine... view more... (2002-07-31)
Ice has a starring role - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When even moderately hot stars like our Sun have surface temperatures of around 6,000°C, it is hard to imagine that ice plays an important part in their formation. But that`s exactly what astrophysicists have recently discovered by turning to surface scientists for help. At the Condensed Matter conference on Monday 8 April, part of the... view more...

MESSENGER flyby of Mercury
At 2:04 p.m. EST on Monday, MESSENGER skimmed 200 kilometers (124 miles) above the surface of Mercury in the first of three flybys of the planet. view more (2008-01-15)
Killer pulses help characterize special surfaces
Detecting deadly fumes in subways, toxic gases in chemical spills, and hidden explosives in baggage is becoming easier and more efficient with a measurement technique called surface-enhanced Raman scattering. To further improve the technique's sensitivity, scientists must design better scattering surfaces, and more effective ways of evaluating... view more... (2008-07-30)
Land tenure conflict in Kenya turning into strong inter-ethnic territorial claims
Kenya's recent history has been dotted with several intense episodes of land-ownership conflict, starting in the early 1950s with the bloody repression of the Mau Mau movement by the British colonial power. view more (2008-05-16)
NASA'S live tropical sea surface temperature Web site gives climate, hurricane clues
Sea surface temperatures give scientists information about ocean currents, climate, climate change and how a hurricane may evolve. Now, NASA has a web page that provides frequent updates on changing ocean temperatures. view more (2006-10-13)
Better composites through right shape of particles
The shape of the small clay particles in polymer-clay composite materials can determine the stiffness, strength and oxygen permeability of the material. The size of the particles determines the sheen and transparency. These are conclusions from the PhD research project of Martin van Es. He will receive his degree at TU Delft on 12 November.... view more... (2001-11-08)
Sailing the planets: Exploring Mars with guided balloons
Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, have, by now, spent almost two years on the surface of Mars. They traveled several miles each, frequently stopping and analyzing scientific targets with their cameras, spectrometers and other instruments to uncover evidence of liquid water on Mars in the past. view more (2005-09-27)
Porphyrin electron-transfer reactions observed at the molecular level
Researchers at Temple University have observed and documented electron transfer reactions on an electrode surface at the single molecule level for the first time, a discovery which could have future relevance to areas such as molecular electronics, electrochemistry, biology, catalysis, information storage, and solar energy conversion. view more (2007-08-03)
Inhaled nitric oxide safe for tiny preemie lungs, UCSF study finds
A nationwide study led by researchers at UCSF provides evidence that inhaled nitric oxide is safe and effective for the prevention of the most common type of long-term lung disease of very premature infants. view more (2007-08-07)
Cancer cell communication exposed
The discovery, by scientists at Monash University and the Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre in New York, of how communication between cancer cells is controlled has promised new treatment options for malignant tumours. view more (2005-10-31)
Glaucoma treatment time and costs increase as disease progresses
Delaying the progression of the eye disease glaucoma from advancing to later stages is associated with lower cost of care, according to a study in the January issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2006-01-10)
Plastic as hard and clear as glass
Plastics come in many forms. They are used to make boats, magnifiers, skis and all manner of household items. Transparent plastic sheet panels would be ideal in the manufacture of windows or headlamps of cars, for example, and tinted plastic foils could more readily be used to protect against the sun – if only the material was not so easily... view more...

New 'superlens' reveals hidden nanostructures
A microscope used to scan nanostructures can be dramatically enhanced by using a 'superlens,' reports an international team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biochemistry and The University of Texas at Austin in this week's issue of Science. view more (2006-09-15)
Dual-focus lenses cut thick metal fastest
V&S Scientific, the UK company that licenses the technology from the Force Institute in Denmark, says that demand for the dual focus lenses is beyond expectation, even though they cost much more than conventional optics for laser cutting. The company exceeded its 1999 sales projections for the lenses by the Spring, reports the July issue of Opto... view more... (1999-06-30)
Scientists help develop first single molecule transistor
Dr Werner Hofer, from the University's Surface Science Research Centre, is one of an international team of scientists who have created a prototype that demonstrates a single charged atom on a silicon surface can regulate the conductivity of a nearby molecule. view more (2005-06-07)
Getting Fathers Involved in Children's ADHD Treatment Programs
While working with parents of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) at the University at Buffalo, Gregory A. Fabiano noticed something was missing: the fathers view more (2007-10-24)
Neural signal that helps wire up brain's movement circuit identified
Scientists from Imperial College London and King`s College London have identified a molecule that helps to wire up the neural circuitry responsible for controlling the movement of muscle. Writing today in the journal Neuron, the researchers describe how the signalling protein named WNT-3 directs specific neurons during embryonic development to... view more... (2002-09-10)
Establishing a connection between global warming and hurricane intensity
Climate change is affecting the intensity of Atlantic hurricanes, and hurricane damage will likely continue to increase because of greenhouse warming, according to a new study. view more (2006-08-16)
Soil Passage Drinking Water Purification
Soil passage of surface water for drinking water production is effective enough in the removal of viruses. This is one of the conclusions of the research project of Jack Schijven. He hopes to earn his PhD on Monday 2 April at TU Delft. An example of soil passage is dune filtration. “The new law on water facilities states that the chance of a... view more... (2001-03-30)
