Chemical switch triggers critical cell activities
The freeze-frame image of a molecular relay race, in which one enzyme passes off a protein like a baton to another enzyme, has solved a key mystery to how cells control some vital functions. view more (2007-01-17)
CultureLab-UK News
The November edition of Culture Lab is now live. Log on now to our Bond special, featuring two fascinating articles: 1. Die Another Day - Despite fierce competition from Hollywood rivals, the new Bond film remains 'The Daddy' of hi-tech film production. 2. Bond UK - Want to know what unbelievable technology is just around the corner? Watch a Bond... view more... (2002-11-14)
Durability of dental fillings improves if the enzyme activity of teeth is inhibited
Composite dental fillings have one problematic feature, in that the bond between the filling and the dental tissue deteriorates over time - in fact, sometimes by as much as 50 per cent in one year. As the bond deteriorates, it may allow bacteria to enter and this brings a high risk of further tooth decay. view more (2009-02-12)
Breaking harmful bonds
Everybody loves the way breakfast eggs conveniently slide off of Teflon without leaving any pesky pieces of egg in the pan. Indeed, the carbon-fluorine bond at the heart of Teflon cookware is so helpful we also use it in clothing, lubricants, refrigerants, anesthetics, semiconductors, and even blood substitutes. view more (2008-08-29)
Sticky gel could have held the London Eye
These so-called "Trib-gels", being developed by Tribtech, are smeared onto the surfaces of the two components to be joined together. Moving the two components relative to eachother causes a metal-to-metal bond that resembles the 'galling' of two metals, dramatically increasing the frictional properties of the materials. This bond would have held... view more... (1999-10-29)
Unlike rubber bands, molecular bonds may not break faster when pulled
From balloons to rubber bands, things always break faster when stretched. view more (2009-06-18)
Beyond the bonds that bind: UCSB researchers discover hydrogen can form multicenter bonds
Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara have shown that, under the right circumstances, hydrogen can form multicenter bonds, where one hydrogen atom simultaneously bonds to as many as four or six other atoms. view more (2006-12-04)
Fingerprint analysis technique could be used to identify bombmakers
University of Leicester experts have held discussions with military personnel in Afghanistan following the discovery of new technology to identify fingerprints on metal. view more (2008-08-27)
Scripps research team creates simple chemical system that mimics DNA
A team of Scripps Research scientists has created a new analog to DNA that assembles and disassembles itself without the need for enzymes. view more (2009-06-12)
Pitt, NETL researchers report molecular chain reaction thought to be impossible
People said it couldn't be done, but researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Pittsburgh demonstrated a molecular chain reaction on a metal surface, a nanoscale process with sizable potential in areas from nanotechnology to developing information storage... view more...

Dads behind bars
Dads behind bars see prison as a chance to think about the needs of their children and an opportunity to re-bond with them. view more (2005-03-18)
A single water molecule acting as gate keeper
How do the bonds cells form with their environments rupture? What enables some cells to migrate? It is known since quite a while that cells can have complex mechanical interactions with their environments. Not only the biochemical but also the physical properties of their environment can thus have significant impact on cell behavior and even gene... view more... (2004-11-12)
A molecular switch turns on the flame in 'nature's blowtorch'
Uncontrolled reaction of organic compounds with oxygen is easy: we call it fire. But nature often needs to do oxidations very specifically, adding oxygen to a particular carbon atom in a complicated molecule without disturbing anything else. view more (2008-05-30)
U of M researchers discover key for converting waste to electricity
Researchers at the University of Minnesota studying bacteria capable of generating electricity have discovered that riboflavin (commonly known as vitamin B-2) is responsible for much of the energy produced by these organisms. view more (2008-03-04)
New oxidation methods streamline synthesis of important compounds
One of the fundamental challenges facing organic synthesis in the 21st century is the need to significantly increase the efficiency with which carbon frameworks can be constructed and functionalized. view more (2007-08-03)
When atoms are getting close
The description of compounds and interactions between atoms is one of the basic objectives of chemistry. Admittedly, chemical bonding models, which describe these properties very well, already exist. view more (2009-05-05)
Fingerprint breakthrough hope in US double murder probe
A double murder investigation that has remained unsolved for almost a decade could be provided new impetus following a forensic breakthrough at the University of Leicester. view more (2008-08-28)
Surprisingly, Chemists Find, Some Solvents Can Alter Chemical Bonds
New University at Buffalo research demonstrates that some solvents can significantly enhance certain acid-base interactions and strengthen the bonding interaction between two molecules when one is electron-deficient and one is electron-rich. view more (2007-07-25)
RAS appoints new communications officer
The Royal Astronomical Society has appointed Anita Heward to replace Dr. Jacqueline Mitton, who recently retired after 15 years as the RAS Press Officer. view more (2004-08-26)
New fingerprint breakthrough by forensic scientists
Forensic scientists at the University of Leicester, working with Northamptonshire Police, have announced a major breakthrough in crime detection which could lead to hundreds of cold cases being reopened. view more (2008-06-03)
