Ocean temperatures and sea level increases 50 percent higher than previously estimated
New research suggests that ocean temperature and associated sea level increases between 1961 and 2003 were 50 percent larger than estimated in the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report.    view more (2008-06-19)

Baked slug: New method to test fireproofing material
In a high-temperature blaze, how well does a fireproofing material shield a building's important steel structures from heat? Answering this question has been surprisingly difficult, but it is important information for builders selecting high-performance fire-resistive materials and for scientists... view more (2008-10-03)

Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree.   view more (2007-07-25)

Silicon And Diamond
To make super-durable and strong details it is necessary to use so-called diamond composites, i.e. materials (matrixes) with incorporated tiny diamonds. The matrix is to be durable, strong, wear-proof as well as monolithic by structure ensuring chemical interaction with diamonds. To avoid internal... view more (2002-09-23)

Do you know what are you eating?
The project presented by Basque research center AZTI is about a new research line: a new method to identify the food and fish products once they are processed. Due to the big demand on that kind of researches, AZTI has been financed by the Fishing and Agricultural Department of the Basque... view more (2002-12-05)

Abnormal glutamine repeats interfere with key transcription factor, leading to neurodegeneration
Although repeating sequences of three nucleotides encoding some of the bodies' 20 amino acids are a normal part of protein composition, abnormal expansion of trinucleotide repeats is the known cause of multiple inherited neurodegenerative disorders, including Huntington disease.   view more (2007-11-14)

Carbon creation offers cool solution to thermal management
A carbon-based material developed at the University of Leeds could provide a solution to the growing problems of thermal management encountered in electrical and electronic industries. The use of ever-higher power density demands improvements to thermal management. Poor thermal management can... view more (2000-09-24)

Combined treatment extends life expectancy for lung cancer patients
Combining thermal ablation with radiation therapy extends average life expectancy and decreases recurrences of tumors in patients who have early stages of inoperable lung cancer, according to researchers at Rhode Island Hospital.   view more (2006-07-17)

A more complete study of the Solar System
The Basque company SENER has been contracted by the European Space Agency (ESA) to prepare a technologies programme for the GAIA astronomy mission. The specifications of this satellite include an 11-metre diameter parasol which unfolds after being put into orbit, giving thermal stability in a... view more (2004-02-05)

Research Shows Ventilated Auto Seats Improve Fuel Economy, Comfort
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has demonstrated that ventilated automotive seats not only can improve passenger comfort but also a vehicle's fuel economy.   view more (2006-03-03)

Education Being Compromised By Economic Fallacy
A mistaken belief that more educational spending automatically leads to greater economic success is damaging our children`s education, says Professor Alison Wolf of London University`s Institute of Education. In an attempt to fine-tune education spending to maximise the rate of growth, the... view more (2002-05-28)

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... view more (2005-05-10)

Supply of medical students may not meet future demand
The supply of medical students may not meet the demands of medical school expansion in the United Kingdom, according to an editorial in this week's BMJ. Figures from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service show that the number of applicants for each place at medical school (the selection... view more (2002-10-09)

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... view more (2004-09-22)

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)

University of Kent tops funding and expansion league
The University of Kent is among the country's top five universities in terms of the percentage increase in funds allocated by the government. This means that 10% of all of England's university expansion will take place in Kent and Medway. With more than 600 new places available from this autumn,... view more (2003-03-12)
