We Provide The Technology To Recycle Vacuum Insulation Panels
The European Union, with the aim of conserving resources, protecting the environment and overseeing the health and welfare of their citizens, has been opting for some years now for sustainable development as one of its top priorities. The reduction of energy consumption has been identified as one of the aspects that can contribute most in this... view more... (2005-05-10)
Researchers Make More Accurate Observation of Earth System Possible
Researchers at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering of TU Delft have succeeded in modelling the rotational behaviour of two satellites with unprecedented accuracy. This makes it possible to model the orbit of the satellites much more accurately and this means that changes on earth observed by the satellite are also more accurate, for example,... view more...

Looking for water on Mars
NASA's Phoenix Scout Lander reached Mars on May 25,, opened a soils lab, and started looking for water. Phoenix uses a robotic scoop arm to deliver regolith samples to the suite of instruments aboard the Lander--with one exception. view more (2008-09-29)
Promising new material that could improve gas mileage
With gasoline at high prices, it's disheartening to know that up to three-quarters of the potential energy you are paying for is wasted. A good deal of it goes right out the tailpipe instead of powering your car. view more (2008-10-10)
Phase Change in Fluids Finally Simulated After Decades of Effort
Modeling the transformation process of matter moving from one phase to another, such as from liquid to gas, has been all but impossible near the critical point. view more (2006-01-18)
The manikin that sweated
A manikin called Walter that can be used to test new clothes for extreme environments is described in research published today in the Institute of Physics publication Journal Measurement Science and Technology. Jintu Fan and Yisong Chen of the Institute of Textiles and Clothing at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, in Kowloon, explain in the... view more... (2002-06-18)
By Adding Graphene, Researchers Create Superior Polymer
Researchers at Northwestern University and Princeton University have created a new kind of polymer that, because of its extraordinary thermal and mechanical properties, could be used in everything from airplanes to solar cells. view more (2008-05-20)
No more hammering please!
Whether it's inspecting glider wings or modern windmill rotor blades, today's method is archaic. Using tap testing, the experienced ear listens for hollow spaces and other defects. A much faster process measures heat distribution resolved over distance and time. Rotor blades for wind turbines are manufactured in the same way as in the good old... view more... (2004-05-14)
Quantum Systems Could Flout Physics Law
Scientists in the Weizmann Institute's Faculty of Chemistry, together with colleagues in Germany, have made a startling prediction: Simply 'taking the temperature' of certain quantum systems at frequent intervals might cause them to disobey a hard and fast rule of thermodynamics. view more (2008-06-03)
Noise measurement may boost cell phone performance
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and industry collaborators have developed improved methods for accurately measuring very faint thermal "noise"—caused by random motion of electrons—in electronic circuits. view more (2006-06-28)
An efficient approach to monitor gastrointestinal microflora changes
Pi-deficiency in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is one of the most common digestive diseases and usually the equilibrium of gastrointestinal microflora are broken, which plays many important roles in the growth, development and performance of the host. view more (2009-05-22)
UAB Researchers Develop a Model for Optimising the Magnetic Levitation of Superconductors
A research team in the Physics Department at the UAB, formed by Àlvar S' nchez, Carles Navau (also lecturer and researcher at the Escola Universitaria Salesiana de Sarri' ) and Enric Pardo, have developed a complete theoretical model that allows for the detailed study of the magnetic force of levitation that appears in a high-temperature... view more...

New study explains why hotter is better for insects
Organisms have been able to adapt to environments ranging from cold polar oceans to hot thermal vents. However, University of Washington researchers have discovered a limit to the powerful forces of natural selection, at least when it comes to the adaptation of insects to cold temperatures. view more (2006-10-03)
Laser-cooling brings large object near absolute zero
Using a laser-cooling technique that could one day allow scientists to observe quantum behavior in large objects, MIT researchers have cooled a coin-sized object to within one degree of absolute zero. view more (2007-04-09)
Nanotubes act as 'thermal Velcro' to reduce computer-chip heating
Engineers have created carpets made of tiny cylinders called carbon nanotubes to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where computer chips connect to cooling devices called heat sinks, promising to help keep future chips from overheating. view more (2006-05-03)
Physics and biology team up to tackle protein folding debate
A team of researchers from EPFL, (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the University of Lausanne, Northwestern University and Tel Aviv University bring biology and statistical physics together to answer the question of how molecular chaperones fold, unfold and pull proteins around in the cell. view more (2006-04-04)
Adapting Space-Industry Technology to Treat Breast Cancer
Researchers at Rush University Medical Center and Argonne National Laboratory are collaborating on a study to determine if an imaging technique used by NASA to inspect the space shuttle can be used to predict tissue damage often experienced by breast cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy. view more (2009-11-03)
Thermal treatment for magneto-resistant materials design
Reader heads of compact discs and computer hard discs or position and magnetic field sensors are some of the applications of magneto-resistant materials, which are normally obtained by costly methods. Precisely in order to solve this problem, university teacher Mar'a Luisa Fern'¡ndez-Gubieda Ruiz, of the University of the Basque Country, is... view more... (2003-07-09)
UBC study establishes formula for predicting climate change impact on salmon stocks
University of British Columbia researchers have found a way to accurately predict the impact of climate change on imperilled Pacific salmon stocks that could result in better management strategies. view more (2008-11-13)
Employers reject the unemployed
Swedish employers seem to view being unemployed as a negative trait. A new study from IFAU (Institute for Labor Market Policy Evaluation) shows that companies prefer to contact applicants who have jobs rather than those who are unemployed, even t though the individuals are identical in all other respects. This aggravates the situation of the... view more... (2004-03-22)
