Botulinum toxin helps facial scars heal better, Mayo Clinic finds
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that treating a facial wound in the early healing phase with botulinum toxin (BOTOX®) improves the appearance of a scar later. The findings are published in the August issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings. view more (2006-08-10)
New Software Allows ISPs and P2P Users to Get Along Without Getting Too Cozy
Peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing services, which connect individual users for simultaneous uploads and downloads directly rather than through a central server, are reported to account for as much as 70 percent of Internet traffic worldwide. That level of use has led to a growing tension between Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and their customers'... view more... (2008-05-05)
The Euro is a soft currency
The Euro really is a soft currency. Tests carried out by Newcastle University, England, reveal that the coin`s surface is softer than the UK Pound or German Mark. Dr Steve Bull used the University`s new Hysitron Triboindenter, the most accurate machine of its type in the world, to make tiny indentations in the coins less than 60 nanometres deep -... view more...

Naked turkey
WHAT`S the secret of great-tasting Christmas turkey? Let it get naked. Whipping the foil off a cooking turkey to allow the skin to brown induces a previously unrecognised process that concentrates the meat flavours at the surface. Chefs have always known that browning the bird with direct heat creates flavour. But more important than the heat,... view more... (2001-12-19)
Mineral discovery explains Mars' landscape
A Queen's University researcher has discovered a mineral that could explain the mountainous landscape of Mars, and have implications for NASA's next mission to the planet. view more (2006-10-24)
New phenomenon in physics discovered on illumination of metal surfaces
Scientific research at the Centre of the Physics of Materials, a mixed venture of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Donostia-San Sebastian, has enabled the discovery of a new physical phenomenon that affects the surfaces of illuminated metals. view more (2007-07-12)
Mysteries of the Atlantic
Cardiff University scientists will shortly set sail (March 5) to investigate a startling discovery in the depths of the Atlantic. view more (2007-03-02)
Nanophysics: Serving up Buckyballs on a silver platter
Scientists at Penn State University, in collaboration with institutes in the US, Finland, Germany and the UK, have figured out the long-sought structure of a layer of C60 - carbon buckyballs - on a silver surface. view more (2009-07-28)
Tiny shock absorbers help bacteria stick around inside the body
Bacteria have hair-like protrusions with a sticky protein on the tip that lets them cling to surfaces. The coiled, bungee cord-like structure of the protrusions helps the bacteria hang on tightly, even under rough fluid flow inside the body. view more (2006-08-30)
Vaccinate infants of hepatitis B mothers, say experts
Immunising newborn infants of mothers with hepatitis B prevents infection being transmitted from mother to child, finds a study published online by the BMJ today. view more (2006-01-27)
Students affected in different ways by exam anxiety

Periods worsen irritable bowel symptoms
Having a period significantly worsens symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and lowers pain thresholds, finds research in Gut. view more (2002-03-11)
Scientists Unlock the Mystery of Liquid Crystal Alignment
The alignment of liquid crystals in devices such as lap-top computers and palm pilots makes the displays on these devices readable. view more (2005-12-21)
Rutgers scientists perform 'materials magic' to simplify crystal-making for electronics
Materials scientists at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, have devised a novel and easy technique to make thin, crystal-like materials for electronic devices. The technique could supplement today's tedious and exacting method of growing crystals with an additional benefit of producing materials in sizes and shapes not now possible. view more (2005-05-30)
NIST develops test method for key micromechanical property
Engineers and researchers designing and building new microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) can benefit from a new test method developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to measure a key mechanical property of such systems: elasticity. view more (2008-01-10)
Australian Land Surface Is Becoming More Like A Gardener's Greenhouse
Recent research has shown that over the past 50 years the evaporative demand at the terrestrial surface has decreased in many regions, while rainfall has remained constant or even increased a little, effectively making the land wetter. Much of the research to date has been undertaken in the Northern Hemisphere, but a new report details the changes... view more... (2004-06-30)
Junior award for bronze structures
The German Society of Electroplating and Surface Technology (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Galvano- und Oberfl'¤chentechnik e.V., DGO,) has honoured Dipl.-Ing. Gabriele Goet with the DGO-Award 2002. The prize is awarded once a year for valuable scientific contributions in the fields of electroplating and surface technology. Gabriele Goet is... view more... (2002-11-28)
Research recommends compromise when choosing conservation site
A lot of variables come into play when selecting a site for environmental conservation that yields benefits to people nearby such as wildlife needs, species and vegetation uniqueness, and costs to the government or community. view more (2009-09-03)
As Sticky as a Gecko ... but Ten Times Stronger!
The gecko's amazing ability to stick to surfaces and walk up walls has inspired many researchers to manufacture materials that mimic the special surface of a gecko's foot. view more (2008-10-15)
X-rays For Cars
A new device that X-rays coatings on car body parts will help manufacturers ensure that vehicles are properly protected from corrosion. The machine flashes radiation onto the surface of body panels and measures the fluorescent emissions given off. Gaps or defects are then easily spotted, allowing manufacturers to ensure that protective coatings... view more... (1998-10-26)
