Ceramic/metal interface fracture toughness
Ceramic/metal joints have been increasingly applied in a wide range of engineering fields because the ceramic has stable mechanical properties at high temperature and good resistance to wear, erosion and oxidation. view more (2005-09-29)
Closer To The Monster
Trailblazing VLT Interferometer Studies of the Central Region in Active Galaxy NGC 1068 [1] Fulfilling an old dream of astronomers, observations with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the ESO Paranal Observatory (Chile) have now made it possible to obtain a clear picture of the immediate surroundings of the black hole at the centre... view more...

Recalibrating 'fight or flight'
A Canadian/U.S. research team has reported a novel approach to stimulating recovery from chronic stress disorders. Details of the therapeutic model, which exploits the natural dynamics of the body's "fight or flight" system, are published January 23 in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology view more (2009-01-23)

A Supercharged Metal-Ion Generator
In the electronics industry, thin metal films are deposited on silicon wafers with a sputter gun, which uses energetic ions - atoms with a positive charge - to knock the metal atoms off a target. view more (2009-01-29)
New type of emergency shelter could significantly improve conditions for Afghanistan refugees
A new type of shelter has been developed that could dramatically reduce the number of refugees that fall victim to hypothermia. Scientists have produced a tent lining that has superior thermal insulation to models currently used. It's predicted that the improved insulation of these tents will save up to 75% on fuel requirements. This means that... view more... (2002-02-20)
Silicon nitride - Improving the properties of one of the world's most important structural materials
With excellent high temperature strength, good resistance to oxidation and low coefficient of thermal expansion Si3N4 ceramic is one of the most important structural materials. However, the pure silicon nitride ceramics are difficult to densify and the addition of various oxides is used to improve sinterability. view more (2005-10-27)
NASA'S Chandra finds black holes stirring up galaxies
Black holes are creating havoc in unsuspected places, according to a new study of images of elliptical galaxies made by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. view more (2006-01-11)
Earth's early ocean cooled more than a billion years earlier than thought: Stanford study
The scalding-hot sea that supposedly covered the early Earth may in fact never have existed, according to a new study by Stanford University researchers who analyzed isotope ratios in 3.4 billion-year-old ocean floor rocks. view more (2009-11-12)
High Gas Prices Cause Chemical Production Shut Down
High and volatile UK gas prices reached new levels over the last few days and have left some chemical companies no choice but to shut down operations. The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) now calls upon the DTI and OFGEM to take immediate, urgent action to resolve the situation before sites are closed down and companies make the decision not... view more...

Seismologists see Earth's interior as interplay between temperature, pressure and chemistry
Seismologists in recent years have recast their understanding of the inner workings of Earth from a relatively benign homogeneous environment to one that is highly dynamic and chemically diverse. view more (2007-10-26)
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)
The original nanoworkout -- Helping carbon nanotubes get into shape
Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method of compacting carbon nanotubes into dense bundles. view more (2007-06-07)
Flow of high-pressure form of ice tells tales of interiors of giant icy moons
Everyday ice used to chill that glass of lemonade has helped researchers better understand the internal structure of icy moons in the far reaches of the solar system. view more (2006-03-03)
UniS' nanotechnology expertise on show at Science Museum
The University of Surrey's world-class expertise in nanotechnology research is a key contributor to a new exhibition entitled 'Nanotechnology: small science‚ big deal', now showing at the Science Museum in London. Professor Ravi Silva, from the University's Advanced Technology Institute (ATI), along with PhD students Anthony Miller and... view more... (2005-03-09)
ASDEX - German fusion device now re-operating in China
One of the world's most successful fusion devices of the eighties, the ASDEX experiment of Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) at Garching, near Munich, went into operation again on 2 December 2002 at Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. Five years after shutdown in 1990 ASDEX was given to the... view more... (2002-12-04)
Breakup of glaciers raising sea level concern
The rapid structural breakdown of some important parts of the ice sheets on Greenland and Antarctica is possible, has happened in the distant past, and some "startling changes" on the margin of these ice masses has been observed in recent years - raising disturbing concerns about sea level rise. view more (2005-10-21)
Mobile phones under fresh scrutiny
THE safety of mobile phones is under fresh scrutiny following the discovery that their emissions have an unexpected effect on living creatures. The finding throws out the strongest challenge yet to the widely held belief that heating from mobile phone signals is their only potential threat to brain cells.... view more... (2002-02-06)
Global warming increases oyster sensitivity to pollution
Do you enjoy eating oysters on a hot sunny afternoon? Make the most of it - it may not last forever. Research has shown that global warming increases the sensitivity of oysters to metal pollution, causing a deadly threat to populations in polluted areas. view more (2005-07-12)
