Catcher in the Rye
The development of sensors that can selectively fish a specific type of molecule out of a mixture is among the highest goals of many chemists. Vladimir M. Mirsky and his coworkers at the University of Regensburg have now come close to meeting this objective - with a clever coating for electrodes... view more (1999-04-13)

NEW SYNTHETIC ANTITHROMBOTIC DRUG COULD REDUCE DVT RISK AFTER HIP SURGERY (pp 1710, 1715, 1721)
Two studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how a new class of synthetic antithrombotic drug could be more effective than conventional therapy in reducing the risk of potentially fatal blood clots associated with hip-replacement surgery.    Between 16 and 30% of patients... view more (2002-05-15)

Colorful bacteria more dangerous
A new study in the July 18 issue of The Journal of Experimental Medicine shows that gold-colored bacteria are more harmful than their unpigmented relatives. A group of scientists led by Victor Nizet (UCSD, San Diego, CA) have discovered that the molecules that give certain bugs their color also... view more (2005-07-12)

Researchers aim for better synthetic sports pitches
As the Commonwealth Games hockey teams prepare to 'push off' in Manchester on synthetic 'water-based' pitches, UK researchers are borrowing technologies from road building research to ensure that future pitches are designed and constructed in the best way possible. The researchers have been testing... view more (2002-07-23)

Gold bowties may shed light on molecules and other nano-sized objects
One of the great challenges in the field of nanotechnology is optical imaging-specifically, how to design a microscope that produces high-resolution images of the nano-sized objects that researchers are trying to study.   view more (2005-08-31)

Synthetic faces assist hearing-impaired
With the help of computer-animated faces, people with hearing impairments will soon be able to read lips over the phone. More powerful computers and better methods of animation make expressions and movements in synthetic faces so natural that they can be used for lip-reading. The quality is only... view more (2003-06-16)

Qubit link could pave the way for world's most powerful computers

New Antibacterial Textiles - Research News in Polymer International
Nano-sized silver particles open way to new breed of antimicrobial materials Scientists can now incorporate silver particles into polypropylene to produce an anti-microbial material that could be used in anything from carpets, to napkins and surgical masks. Silver has been medically proven to kill... view more (2003-06-23)

Some antipsychotic drugs may be missing their mark
Drugs that treat depression, schizophrenia and other psychotic conditions and that target a particular protein on brain cells might not be triggering the most appropriate response in those cells, new research suggests.   view more (2008-01-02)

Crowning glory
Research present in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers suggests that coating dental implants with a synthetic bone material prior to implantation allows such implant to become incorporated much more successfully into the jaw, leading... view more (2008-04-07)

New oxidation methods streamline synthesis of important compounds
One of the fundamental challenges facing organic synthesis in the 21st century is the need to significantly increase the efficiency with which carbon frameworks can be constructed and functionalized.   view more (2007-08-03)

New reference materials support industrial zeolites
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has issued three new reference materials to support researchers studying the properties of commercially important zeolites.   view more (2006-09-18)

‘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)

Researchers confirm benzene-like electron delocalization of important molecule
Researchers in the lab of University of Oregon chemist Shih-Yuan Liu have successfully synthesized and structurally characterized boron-nitrogen compounds that are isoelectronic and isostructural to the fundamentally important benzene molecule.   view more (2008-06-20)

Scientists synthesize memory in yeast cells
Harvard Medical School researchers have successfully synthesized a DNA-based memory loop in yeast cells, findings that mark a significant step forward in the emerging field of synthetic biology.   view more (2007-09-17)

UNC School of Pharmacy researchers create new synthetic heparin
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have patented a synthetic version of the drug heparin, called Recomparin, that is less complex chemically and should be easier to produce than previous forms.   view more (2007-09-24)
