Feeling up Cells
Locally resolved detection of cell signals with microelectrodes No matter how small, a living cell does not have a uniform structure. Instead, it has „organs“, called organelles, which are assigned various tasks. Even the „shell“ of the cell, its membrane, is not uniform.... view more (2001-03-01)

Brown researchers work toward ending cartilage loss
Scientists have long wrestled with how to aid those who suffer cartilage damage and loss. One popular way is to inject an artificial gel that can imitate cartilage's natural ability to act as the body's shock absorber. But that solution is temporary, requiring follow-up injections.   view more (2008-06-04)

New coating is virtual black hole for reflections
Researchers have created an anti-reflective coating that allows light to travel through it, but lets almost none bounce off its surface. At least 10 times more effective than the coating on sunglasses or computer monitors, the material, which is made of silica nanorods, may be used to channel light... view more (2007-03-05)

Dangerous interaction between the antibiotic ciprofloxacin and the muscle relaxant tizanidine
Researchers from Finland have found that the antibiotic ciprofloxacin (brand names Ciproxin, Ciprofloxacin etc.) greatly increases the concentrations of tizanidine (Sirdalud, Zanaflex) in blood. Concomitant use of ciprofloxacin and tizanidine results in severe and prolonged decrease in blood... view more (2004-12-15)

Scientists find black hole's 'point of no return'
Scientists have found new evidence that black holes are performing the disappearing acts for which they are known.   view more (2006-01-11)

Scientists grow 'nanonets' able to snare added energy transfer
Using two abundant and relatively inexpensive elements, Boston College chemists have produced nanonets, a flexible webbing of nano-scale wires that multiplies surface area critical to improving the performance of the wires in electronics and energy applications.   view more (2008-09-03)

Hidden sponges determine coral reef's nutrient cycle
Marine organisms hidden in caves, such as sponges, play an extremely important role in the nutrient cycle of coral reefs.   view more (2005-09-15)

Holistic Study Approach Expands Understanding of Agricultural Chemicals in the Environment
An understanding how environmental processes and agricultural practices interact to determine the transport and fate of agricultural chemicals in the environment is essential for effectively addressing the widespread degradation of surface and ground waters from past, present, and future... view more (2008-06-04)

Hard shell, glowing core
Tiny semiconductor crystals can be prompted to give off light - brighter than conventional dyes and in wavelength ranges that these only produce under certain conditions. Israeli chemist Uri Banin and his coworker Yun-Wie Cao demonstrated this with several core/shell nanocrystals made of the... view more (1999-12-09)

Measurements from the edge: magnetic properties of thin films
Materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), together with colleagues from IBM and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, have pushed the measurement of thin films to the edge-literally-to produce the first data on how the edges of metallic thin films... view more (2007-10-01)

Competition Stars' Mission To Mars
Two Kingston University space enthusiasts have made it their mission to help man set foot on Mars. Aerospace engineering and astronautics students Flis Holland and Martin Stolen have developed a Martian dust removal system to aid exploration on the Red Planet. The system consists of a carbon... view more (2003-11-07)

Grub's passion for plastic causes water loss
Research by the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has found that a small white grub is responsible for water leaking from sub-surface drip irrigation pipes used by some lucerne growers.   view more (2007-09-27)

Toxoplasmosis infection trick revealed by scientists
Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease, primarily carried by cats. It is transmitted to humans by eating undercooked meat or through contact with cat faeces.   view more (2007-05-11)

Plastic electronics for light diodes and prostheses
Is it possible to make components out of organic polymers (plastics) whose structure is such that severed nerves can grow right into them and connect with electrodes in a prosthetic hand, for example? This is one of the research fields for Tobias Nyberg at the Section for Biomolecular and Organic... view more (2002-04-29)

North Sea efficient sink for carbon dioxide
The measured annual increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is only 60 percent of the annual emissions from fossil fuels.   view more (2005-10-11)

Geologists finding a different Mars underneath
Scientists are finding an older, craggier face of Mars buried beneath the surface, thanks to pioneering sounding radar co-sponsored by NASA aboard the European Space Agency's Mars Express spacecraft.   view more (2006-12-14)

Dysentery uses 'sword and shield' to cause infection
Scientists have found that the bacterium that causes dysentery uses a 'sword and shield' approach to cause infection.   view more (2005-02-23)

'Electrospray' droplet research yields surprising, practical results
Chemical engineers at Purdue University are the first to mathematically describe precisely how droplets form when liquids are exposed to electric fields, an advance that could have applications in areas ranging from manufacturing to medical diagnostics.   view more (2008-01-08)

Trap and zap: Harnessing the power of light to pattern surfaces on the nanoscale
Princeton engineers have invented an affordable technique that uses lasers and plastic beads to create the ultrasmall features that are needed for new generations of microchips.   view more (2008-06-19)

NASA Looks at Hurricane Cloud Tops for Windy Clues
Scientists at NASA are finding that with hurricanes, they can look at the cloud tops for clues about the behavior of winds below the hurricane on the Earth's surface.   view more (2006-05-17)

Plastic-Protein Hybrid Materials
Enzymatic films for bioactive surfaces We encounter them every day in laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, or shower gel: surfactants - surface-active substances. Surfactants belong to a category of molecules called amphiphiles, molecular hermaphrodites consisting of a water-loving (hydrophilic)... view more (2001-12-21)

Scientists seek to unwrap the sweet mystery of the sugar coat on bacteria
Scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a quick and simple way to investigate the sugar coating that surrounds bacteria and plays a role in infection and immunity.   view more (2006-02-15)

The nanoworld of corrosion
The effect of corrosion has an impact on about 3% of the world's Gross Domestic Product. From a positive point of view, however, chemical attack of metal surfaces may result into surface nano-structures with very interesting technological applications such as catalysts and sensors.   view more (2006-02-10)

New UK Musical Work Inspired By Japanese Art
A new musical work by University of Sussex composer and music lecturer Ed Hughes will be premiered during the Brighton Festival on May 8, 2004. The piece, Memory of Colour, is a Brighton Festival commission to accompany an exhibition that includes a celebrated art installation, Surface of the Lake,... view more (2004-04-26)

Experts call for balance in addressing under treated pain and drug abuse
A balance must be struck between physicians' responsibility to treat chronic pain and the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) duty to combat drug abuse, according to a series of seven commentaries by national thoughtleaders published today in the February issue of Pain Medicine.   view more (2006-03-17)
