Common bacteria pirate natural mechanism to get inside cells Bacteria and viruses utilize a natural mechanism to get inside cells and grow, researchers say. view more (2006-01-26)
Nitric oxide: Key to cardiovascular and pulmonary function and drug effectiveness A naturally occurring molecule in the body appears to control whether certain medications, such as beta adrenergic receptor agonists used in acute heart failure or in inhalers for asthma, lose their effectiveness over time. view more (2007-05-04)
Hygienic surfaces, biocidal and self-cleaning coatings Microbian evolution on a wide variety of surfaces can produce phenomena such as corrosion, dirt, smells and even serious hygiene and health problems. view more (2005-09-14)
New synthetic compounds appear to prevent brain cell death Spanish chemists have developed a promising set of synthetic compounds that one day could help slow or perhaps halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders. view more (2005-12-21)
Colour effects inspired by instant soup The shimmering colors of beetle and butterfly wings are not usually due to pigments. Instead, these and rainbow effects are produced by interference - as in opal gemstones, or an oil slick on a wet road. Layers of colorless substances, of a thickness that lies within the wavelength of visible... view more (2002-09-20)
The End of the Line for Silicon Dioxide? By means of computer simulations, scientists at the Technical Universities in Clausthal and Vienna are investigating new materials for even smaller and more efficient transistor generations. The smaller the transistors, the faster they can operate. As a result, faster and faster processors can also... view more (2003-12-23)
ESC Congress 2004: PERTINENT - PERindopril - Thrombosis, InflammatioN, Endothelial dysfunction and Neurohormonal activation Trial A Sub-Study of the EUROPA Study Evaluation of the Effect of Perindopril on Endothelial Function view more (2004-08-31)
U-M study offers new perspective on nitric oxide signaling in rheumatoid arthritis Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have found evidence that challenges current thinking about the cause of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory disease that damages joints, causes pain, loss of movement, and bone deformities in 2.1 million Americans. view more (2006-10-31)
INTELLIGENT ANTI-CORROSION COATING GIVES TURBINES IMPROVED PROTECTION British materials scientists have invented a revolutionary new protective coating for high performance industrial and marine gas turbines. The new system called Smartcoat, can adapt to different types of corrosion modifying its chemical structure in response. The new coating can protect turbines in... view more (1999-09-09)
'Erectile dysfunction' drugs heighten natural anti-cancer activity Sildenafil and other "impotence drugs" that boost the production of a gassy chemical messenger to dilate blood vessels and produce an erection now also show promise in unmasking cancer cells so that the immune system can recognize and attack them, say scientists at the Johns Hopkins... view more (2006-12-08)
Study explains unexpected conductivity of nanoscale silicon When graduate student Pengpeng Zhang successfully imaged a piece of silicon just 10 nanometers-or a millionth of a centimeter-in thickness, she and her University of Wisconsin-Madison co-researchers were puzzled. view more (2006-02-09)
Hypoxia training suppresses harmful cardiac nitric oxide production during heart attack Researchers at the University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, Texas have demonstrated that, contrary to prevailing dogma, hypoxia can be remarkably beneficial to the heart. These discoveries, to be reported in the June 2008 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, may lead to a... view more (2008-05-27)
Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. view more (2006-01-26)
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)
Halting methane squanderlust The pipes that rise from oil fields, topped with burning flames of natural gas, waste fossil fuels and dump carbon dioxide into the air. In new work, researchers have identified the structure of a catalytic material that can turn methane into a safe and easy-to-transport liquid. The insight lays... view more (2008-05-22)
Fake diamonds help jet engines take the heat Engineers are developing a technology to coat jet engine turbine blades with zirconium dioxide -- commonly called zirconia, the stuff of synthetic diamonds -- to combat high-temperature corrosion. The zirconia chemically converts sand and other corrosive particles that build up on the blade into a... view more (2008-03-18)
Ovarian cancer responds to aspirin derivative with chemo A new study using ovarian cancer cell lines shows promise in treating the deadly disease by combining the chemotherapy drug cisplatin with an aspirin-like compound to make recurrent cancer cells less resistant to the chemotherapy. view more (2006-02-16)
The sweet smell of nano-success Materials scientists at Lehigh University and catalyst chemists at Cardiff University have uncovered secrets of the "nanoworld" that promise to lead to cleaner methods of producing, among other things, spices and perfumes. view more (2006-01-30)
Widely used iron nanoparticles exhibit toxic effects on neuronal cells Researchers at UC San Diego have discovered that iron-containing nanoparticles being tested for use in several biomedical applications can be toxic to nerve cells and interfere with the formation of their signal-transmitting extensions. view more (2007-03-29)
Researchers Reveal How Air Pollutant Helps Pregnant Women with Hypertension Nitric oxide (NO) is best known as an air pollutant produced by vehicle emissions and power plants but for pregnant women it is a crucial compound required to avoid hypertension and pre-eclampsia. view more (2006-09-21)
Research helps understand factors that influence efficiency of organic-based devices Organic-based devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes, require a transparent conductive layer with a high work function, meaning it promotes injection of electron holes into an organic layer to produce more light. view more (2008-07-09)
Silicon nanowires upgrade data-storage technology Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with colleagues at George Mason University and Kwangwoon University in Korea, have fabricated a memory device that combines silicon nanowires with a more traditional type of data-storage. view more (2007-06-11)
Gender, coupled with diabetes, affects vascular disease development Diabetes is associated with the development of vascular (blood vessel) disease. As we age, vascular disease becomes more common. view more (2007-08-16)
Cheaper LEDs from breakthrough in zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire research, Nano Letters study says Engineers at UC San Diego have synthesized a long-sought semiconducting material that may pave the way for an inexpensive new kind of light emitting diode (LED) that could compete with today's widely used gallium nitride LEDs, according to a new paper in the journal Nano Letters. view more (2007-01-04)
Preclinical Study Links Gene to Brain Aneurysm Formation University of Cincinnati (UC) neurovascular researchers have identified a gene that-when suppressed or completely absent-may predispose a person to brain aneurysms. view more (2007-08-08)
