New theory explains electronic and thermal behavior of nanotubes
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have made an important theoretical breakthrough in the understanding of energy dissipation and thermal breakdown in metallic carbon nanotubes. view more (2006-01-20)
How fish species suffer as a result of warmer waters
Ongoing global climate change causes changes in the species composition of marine ecosystems, especially in shallow coastal oceans. view more (2007-01-05)
Thermal Portrait Of Atherosclerosis Patients
Contemporary thermal imaging equipment may be applied to medicine for diagnostics and treatment efficiency control. Russian biophysicists used a thermal imager for recording the blood supply of atherosclerosis patients' extremities prior and after the treatment by gas-transport blood substitute injections. Researches in this area by Russian... view more... (2004-03-12)
Heat-seeking the invisible killers
Land-mines kill or maim some 20,000 people every year. Locating these loathsome weapons is vital. But what mine-busters really want is guidance - like that provided by a unique European infrared-camera system - on where to start searching. view more (2005-02-11)
Taming Tiny, Unruly Waves for Nano Optics
Nanoscale devices present a unique challenge to any optical technology - there's just not enough room for light to travel in a straight line. view more (2007-10-09)
Earth's crust melts easier than thought
Earth's crust melts easier than previously thought, scientists have discovered. In a paper published in this week's issue of the journal Nature, geologists report results of a study of how well rocks conduct heat at different temperatures. They found that as rocks get hotter in Earth's crust, they become better insulators and poorer conductors. view more (2009-03-19)
Warm coronal loops offer clue to mysteriously hot solar atmosphere
Scientists at NASA reveal a new understanding of the mysterious mechanism responsible for heating the outer part of the solar atmosphere, the corona, to million degree temperatures. view more (2008-05-30)
Wax-based heat storage for buildings
Everybody visiting an old church or temple has experienced the cooling effect of thick walls. On the other hand, heat waves particularly affect buildings constructed in lightweight materials. The walls cannot absorb much thermal energy, causing room temperatures to increase rapidly in summer. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar... view more... (2003-07-25)
U.S. Air Force Technology Helps Scientists Understand Plant Root Function
The McClellan Nuclear Radiation Center (MNRC) in Sacramento, CA was developed by the U.S. Air Force to detect corrosion and defects in aircraft structure using an imaging technique called neutron radiography. This technique is currently helping soil scientists understand the function of plant roots and their uptake of water and nutrients. view more (2008-09-09)
Thermal imaging shatters arousal gender gap myth
A new McGill University study that used thermal imaging technology for the first time ever to measure sexual arousal rates has turned the conventional wisdom that women become aroused more slowly than men on its head. view more (2006-10-02)
Diet and lifestyle critical to recovery, says study
Diet and lifestyle may play a much more significant role in a person's ability to respond favourably to certain drugs, including some cancer therapies, than previously understood, say scientists. view more (2008-01-18)
The salt of life and genes
Mineral salts are essential for living organisms. To be precise, it is from these, living cells get their basic components, the ions. Common salt, for example, contains chloride and sodium ions which the cell uses to establish and maintain electrochemical balance with the environment. In order to achieve sodium equilibrium in animal cells, for... view more... (2003-04-16)
New 'near-field' radiation therapy promises relief for overheating laptops
Our modern age has become accustomed to regular improvements in information technology, says Slava Rotkin, but these advances do not come without a cost. view more (2009-04-14)
Cool Findings: Nanotubes Could Improve Thermal Management in Electronics
As the electronics industry continues to churn out smaller and slimmer portable devices, manufacturers have been challenged to find new ways to combat the persistent problem of thermal management. view more (2007-03-30)
Transition Metal Selenites (Mn, Co, Ni, Fe, Cu, Zn and Cd)
The work involved a multidisciplinary task, undertaking the study of phases of mineralogical and physico-chemical interest. Selenites were synthesised, given that they are a new field and likely to present original physical properties. view more (2005-09-30)
Biomimetic-engineering design can replace spaghetti tangle of nanotubes in thermal materials
Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) devices have the potential to revolutionize the world of sensors: motion, chemical, temperature, etc. But taking electromechanical devices from the micro scale down to the nano requires finding a means to dissipate the heat output of this tiny gadgetry. view more (2009-06-02)
Some like it hot: Worms at deep-sea vents favor a fiery 45-55°C
Scientists have found that worms dwelling at deep-sea hydrothermal vents opt for temperatures of 45-55 degrees Celsius (113-131 degrees Fahrenheit) when given a choice of conditions, giving them the highest thermal preference of any animal studied to date. view more (2006-04-14)
Spin control: New technique sorts nanotubes by length
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have reported a new technique to sort batches of carbon nanotubes by length using high-speed centrifuges. view more (2008-05-19)
Forget cooking"¦
There are some preferences among the consumers that establish the tendency in the development of new formulations and technologies of food preserving. Those preferences are toward food of easy and rapid preparation, less severely processed (preserving vitamins and nutrients), natural (without preservatives and other artificial additives), fresh,... view more...
