Purdue engineers create safer, more efficient nuclear fuel, model its performance
Purdue University nuclear engineers have developed an advanced nuclear fuel that could save millions of dollars annually by lasting longer and burning more efficiently than conventional fuels, and researchers also have created a mathematical model to further develop the technology. view more (2005-09-29)
Social parasites of the smaller kind
Cooperation is widespread in the natural world but so too are cheats - mutants that do not contribute to the collective good but simply reap the benefits of others' cooperative efforts. view more (2007-08-27)
Landmark UNC-led study finds radiofrequency ablation is effective treatment for Barrett's esophagus
A landmark clinical trial led by a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill researcher concludes 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 (2009-05-28)
TIMMI2 Images the Heart of the Orion Nebula
A new astronomical instrument, TIMMI2, has just been installed on the ESO 3.6-m telescope at La Silla. The first images have now been obtained and hold great promise for future research programmes with this facility. The Thermal Infrared MultiMode Instrument was built in a collaboration between ESO and a consortium headed by the Jena University... view more... (2001-03-30)
Space suit technology can protect workers from heatstroke
The technology used in space suits to protect astronauts carrying out space walks in direct sunlight is now being used to develop protective clothing to safeguard firefighters and steel workers who often work in extremely hot and dangerous conditions. view more (2006-03-06)
Dutch researchers predict future of Central America
As part of an NWO project at Wageningen Agricultural University, Dutch researchers have constructed a model to simulate how land use changes in accordance with various different scenarios for the future. The model, CLUE (Conversion of Land Use and its Effects), makes it possible to carry out model calculations at various different scales and it... view more... (2001-05-08)
Media briefing: Research on New Energies - Europe at the Forefront in Solar, Wave and Geothermal Energies
The European Union has the objective to double the share of renewable electricity to 12% by 2010. This one-day briefing will demonstrate Europe's leadership in developing and implementing ground-breaking research and technology transfers in solar, wave, and geothermal sustainable energies. On 16th March next, at the Plataforma Solar de Almer'a,... view more... (2004-02-04)
What Goes On Underneath Your Feet?
It is generally assumed that heat from Earth's core and mantle, due to the low thermal conductivity of the latter, is transferred to the outer part mainly by convection. This implies swirling movement of an immense amount of hot material, which is behind the dynamics of Earth's interior. Understanding the details of this is of great interest since... view more...

Global warming link to amphibian declines in doubt
Evidence that global warming is causing the worldwide declines of amphibians may not be as conclusive as previously thought, according to biologists. The findings, which contradict two widely held views, could help reveal what is killing the frogs and toads and aid in their conservation. view more (2008-11-13)
Aurorae and Volcanic Eruptions
Impressive thermal-infrared images have been obtained of the giant planet Jupiter during tests of a new detector in the ISAAC instrument on the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) at the Paranal Observatory (Chile). They show in particular the full extent of the northern auroral ring and part of the southern aurora. A volcanic eruption was also imaged... view more... (2001-06-07)
SMART-1 diagnoses wrinkles and excess weight on the Moon
Owing to SMART-1's high resolution and favourable illumination conditions during the satellite's scientific operations, data from Europe's lunar orbiter is helping put together a story linking geological and volcanic activity on the Moon. view more (2007-08-23)
Ultrafast laser spectrometer measures heat flow through molecules
Global warming isn't the only heat scientists are feeling. Another area in which heat flow is becoming crucial is the field of molecular electronics, where long-chain molecules attached to tiny electrodes are used to transport and switch electrons. view more (2007-08-10)
Premature babies have altered sensory responses in later life
Premature infants who need intensive care or surgery are less sensitive to thermal (hot and cold) sensations later in life, according to research conducted at UCL (University College London). view more (2008-12-23)
Bacteria Precipitate Gold
Roman A. Amosov and a team of Russian scientists from the Central Institute for Geological Exploration of Non-ferrous and Noble Metals, Institute of Paleontology, Russian Academy of Sciences, and from the Institute of Microbiology, Russian Academy of Sciences, led by, have managed to simulate in the laboratory the process of precipitation of gold... view more...

Ancient coral reef tells the history of Kenya's soil erosion
Coral reefs, like tree rings, are natural archives of climate change. But oceanic corals also provide a faithful account of how people make use of land through history, says Robert B. Dunbar of Stanford University. view more (2007-04-11)
Molecule Walks Like a Human
A research team, led by UC Riverside's Ludwig Bartels, is the first to design a molecule that can move in a straight line on a flat surface. It achieves this by closely mimicking human walking. view more (2005-09-27)
Venus Express reboots the search for active volcanoes on Venus
ESA's Venus Express has measured a highly variable quantity of the volcanic gas sulphur dioxide in the atmosphere of Venus. Scientists must now decide whether this is evidence for active volcanoes on Venus, or linked to a hitherto unknown mechanism affecting the upper atmosphere. view more (2008-04-07)
Europe's first interactive system bringing GRID technology to the final user
Ever since the internet was created, it has developed and advanced as new services have been introduced that have made it easier to access and send data between remote computers. Electronic mail and the easy-to-use interactive interface known as the World Wide Web are just two of the most important services that have helped to make the internet as... view more... (2005-04-29)
NRL scientists produce carbon nanotubes using commercially available polymeric resins
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have successfully produced carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in high yields in bulk solid compositions using commercially available aromatic containing resins. view more (2008-02-11)
Testing time for instrument on Hubble's successor
A significant milestone for the Hubble Space Telescope successor, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), is on course to be reached before Christmas with the testing of the verification model of the Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire. view more (2007-12-07)
