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)
Caltech scientists solve decade-long mystery of nanopillar formations
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have uncovered the physical mechanism by which arrays of nanoscale (billionths-of-a-meter) pillars can be grown on polymer films with very high precision, in potentially limitless patterns. view more (2009-10-23)

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 from superhydrophilic to superhydrophobic, and... view more...

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)
Research Fortnight 29 May issue: stories on space science, the spending review, Diamond, energy and veterinary research.
UK space science dead in 10 years, group warns The UK's influence in space science will vanish within the next decade if current trends in funding are not reversed, according to a new campaign group. The Space Action Network aims to raise awareness of the problems faced by the space science community and secure more funds for future projects. The... view more... (2002-05-29)
SLAC Researchers Reveal the Dance of Water
Water is familiar to everyone-it shapes our bodies and our planet. But despite this abundance, the molecular structure of water has remained a mystery, with the substance exhibiting many strange properties that are still poorly understood. view more (2009-08-12)
Mathematicians maximize knowledge of minimal surfaces
Mathematicians have studied basic minimal surfaces for more than 250 years, and long ago understood their basic building blocks and how those fundamentals fit together to form a figure with the least surface area and high surface tension. view more (2006-08-16)
Migraine headaches & sexual desire may be linked
Contrary to the popular cliché, "Not tonight, I have a headache," new research suggests that not all headache sufferers avoid sexual activity. In fact, migraine sufferers reported higher levels of sexual desire than those with other types of headaches. view more (2006-06-12)
Founder's Lecture will Recognise the Success of Colloid Chemist
Professor Terence Cosgrove, University of Bristol, UK, will deliver the Founder's Lecture 'Chains and Bondage' at the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) Headquarters, London on 21 April 2004. The Founder's Lecture is awarded to figures of distinction in the colloid or surface chemistry fields. A Professor of Physical Chemistry, Terence Cosgrove is... view more... (2004-04-19)
