Lifeburn - heating systems for domestic application
Heating systems must adjust the thermal power to the needs of the user through the modulation of their thermal power. So a major efficiency, less polluting emissions and more comfort can be obtained. However, the difficulty to develop new radiant burners has slow down the appearing of new equipments. A solution for this problem was proposed in a... view more... (2002-09-23)

Math and fossils resolve a debate on dinosaur metabolism
Of the many mysteries surrounding the life history of dinosaurs, one of the more enduring is how such gigantic organisms—some reaching 42 feet tall and weighing 90 tons—regulated their body temperature. view more (2006-07-11)
Improved rating for residential fuel cells
A new performance rating system for residential fuel cells developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can help prospective buyers assess the economic value of alternative fuel-cell technologies. view more (2006-06-28)
Princeton researchers discover new type of laser
A Princeton-led team of researchers has discovered an entirely new mechanism for making common electronic materials emit laser beams. The finding could lead to lasers that operate more efficiently and at higher temperatures than existing devices, and find applications in environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics. view more (2008-12-23)
Breast Cancer Treatment Heats Up
In the March Journal of Nuclear Medicine, researchers demonstrate that miniscule bioprobes could be produced and used with molecularly targeted therapeutic heat to kill malignant breast cancer cells—without damaging nearby healthy tissue. view more (2007-03-07)
Radiofrequency ablation is effective treatment for dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus
Interim results from a nationwide clinical trial led by a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researcher suggest that radiofrequency ablation is an effective treatment for dysplasia in people with Barrett's esophagus, a condition that can lead to deadly gastrointestinal cancer. view more (2008-05-20)
Master genetic switch found for chronic pain
In experiments with mice, researchers have found that eliminating what appears to be a master genetic switch for the development of pain-sensing neurons knocks out the animals' response to "neuropathic pain." view more (2006-01-26)
Adding up business and energy
Could a business practice usually reserved for boosting profits be used to help turn companies green by reducing their energy use? Writing in the International Journal of Six Sigma and Competitive Advantage (IJSSCA), researchers in India provide an answer. view more (2008-05-16)
MIT: Better way to harness waste heat
New MIT research points the way to a technology that might make it possible to harvest much of the wasted heat produced by everything from computer processor chips to car engines to electric powerplants, and turn it into usable electricity. view more (2009-11-19)
£42M is made to measure
Lord Sainsbury announces new investment in measurement technology over three years Advances in measurement technology were today given a £42m boost by the Science Minister, Lord Sainsbury. 'Telemedicine' will allow doctors to make medical judgements based on a television image of a patient. Remote diagnosis via phone or internet link and... view more... (2001-05-01)

New ORNL roof system means savings for homeowners
Homeowners could see their summer utility bills fall by 8 percent or more with a new roof and attic system being developed at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2007-08-29)
Finely tuned WspRs help bacteria beat body by building biofilm
Bacteria are particularly harmful to human health when they band together to form a biofilm-a sheet composed of many individual bacteria glued together-because this can allow them to escape from both antibiotics and the immune system of their host. view more (2008-03-25)
Sea level rise due to global warming poses threat to New York City
Global warming is expected to cause the sea level along the northeastern U.S. coast to rise almost twice as fast as global sea levels during this century, putting New York City at greater risk for damage from hurricanes and winter storm surge, according to a new study led by a Florida State University researcher. view more (2009-03-16)

Chemistry sets for grownups
The best thing about chemistry class in school was always the experiments. It stank, it smoked and best of all things exploded. The students were highly delighted when the teacher's own experiments ran out of control. But large-scale chemical accidents are no laughing matter. A reactor containing tons of chemicals can be a real danger. In... view more... (2003-09-18)
