Increase in ethanol production from corn could significantly impact
If projected increases in the use of corn for ethanol production occur, the harm to water quality could be considerable, and water supply problems at the regional and local levels could also arise, says a new report from the National Research Council.   view more (2007-10-11)

Thyroid-cancer test reveals recurrence early
A blood test for thyroid cancer can detect persistent or recurrent disease even before doctors can find any trace of a tumor, according to a new study. The findings suggest that people treated for the disease should be examined regularly for early signs of recurrence.   view more (2005-06-27)

New research network: Artificial photosynthesis för future energy producion
Nature utilizes energy from the sun for its production. Some algae produce hydrogen from water with the help of solar energy. So why not imitate nature to extract renewable energy without harming the environment? The EU is now giving European research a boost by allocating EUR1.8 million to a new... view more (2005-02-21)

Concrete less sensitive for cracks than previously thought
Reinforced high-strength concrete can crack due to stresses that develop during the hardening process. However, this has been found to be surprisingly less quick than previously thought. Due to Dutch research, extra steps during the hardening process can be omitted. This will result in cheaper... view more (2003-03-21)

Down to the Bone
Although modern medical technology is already well advanced, implants made of synthetic materials can cause problems: they may give rise to rejection reactions or loosen over time because the contact between the surrounding tissue and the implanted material is not good enough. A remarkable... view more (1999-02-09)

Cobweb Instead Of Nicotine
The cobweb consisting of fibrillar proteins is an extremely strong and elastic material. Researchers are seeking ways to produce cobweb in industrial quantity. As it is a priority trend of biotechnology, experiments by Russian researchers in this area have been funded through the Ministry of... view more (2003-12-05)

New-Caledonia: is the chromium present in soil toxic for crop plants ?
Nearly one-third of the surface area of New Caledonia bears outcrops of ultramafic rocks containing high levels of heavy metals, such as nickel and chromium. The soils derived from these formations, bearing high concentrations of these metals, are however poor in mineral elements essential for... view more (2003-05-23)

ESA satellite imagery credited with breakthrough in earthquake research
California scientists credit synthetic aperture radar imagery from the European Space Agency with making possible new ways to depict earthquake fault zones and uncovering unusual earthquake-related deformations. Their study of imagery from a 1999 earthquake in the western US could provide a new way... view more (2002-09-19)

‘Perfume’ lures flies into trap
As part of a project funded by the NWO’s Technology Foundation (STW), a Groningen research team has investigated how flies react to the odours of such things as old pork, bread and chicken manure. The findings will be used to develop more effective flytraps, for example for use in stables.... view more (2001-05-30)

MU researcher links hormone replacement therapy to breast cancer
Millions of post-menopausal women use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a method to reduce symptoms associated with menopause. In a recent University of Missouri study, researchers found that one of the hormones used in HRT, a synthetic progestin, could be a major factor in promoting breast... view more (2008-04-02)

A pathway towards cures for Parkinson`s and cancer
Researchers studying the Hedgehog signaling pathway have identified small molecules that could form the foundations of exciting new treatments for Parkinson's disease and certain cancers. New research published in Journal of Biology - the open access journal for exceptional research - has... view more (2002-11-01)

Novel hydrogel systems for dentin regeneration
Dental caries, or tooth decay, continues to be the most prevalent infectious disease in the world, presenting significant public health challenges and socio-economic consequences.   view more (2008-07-07)

Carnegie Mellon, USDA report that Fe-TAML® catalysts degrade estrogenic compounds
Scientists from Carnegie Mellon University and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) have found that a rapid, environmentally friendly catalytic process involving Fe-TAML® activators and hydrogen peroxide breaks down two types of estrogenic compounds.   view more (2006-06-27)

New biochip helps study living cells, may speed drug development
Purdue University researchers have developed a biochip that measures the electrical activities of cells and is capable of obtaining 60 times more data in just one reading than is possible with current technology.   view more (2006-10-23)

Nature's secrets yield new adhesive material
Scientists report they have merged two of nature's most elegant strategies for wet and dry adhesion to produce a synthetic material that one day could lead to more durable and longer-lasting bandages, patches, and surgical materials.   view more (2007-07-19)

Gene silencing technique offers new strategy for treating, curing disease
A new technique aimed at directly controlling the expression of genes by turning them on or off at the DNA level could lead to drugs for the treatment or cure of many diseases, say researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center.   view more (2005-08-01)

Fueling Ethanol Production While Protecting Water Quality
Grain-based ethanol production has increased dramatically in recent years as the cost and instability of oil has increased. New U.S. government policies require major increases in ethanol production. While future plans call for a viable cellulosic ethanol industry, expanded grain ethanol production... view more (2008-04-02)

In blood vessel stents, innovative materials allow better control, delivery of gene therapy
