Color test enhances tomato analyzer software
When it comes to fresh vegetables and fruits, color is one of the best indicators of quality. Along with texture, size, and flavor, color plays an important role in the business of horticultural crop production and marketing. view more (2009-02-27)
How size matters
The beauty of nature is partly due to the uniformity of leaf and flower size in individual plants, and scientists have discovered how plants arrive at these aesthetic proportions. view more (2007-12-13)
Researchers find snippet of RNA that helps make individuals remarkably alike
"No two people are alike." Yet when we consider the thousands of genes with frequent differences in genetic composition among different people, it is remarkable how much alike we are. view more (2009-05-06)
NIST develops rapid method for judging nanotube purity
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a sensitive new method for rapidly assessing the quality of carbon nanotubes. view more (2007-02-02)
Binghamton University research links digital images and cameras
Child pornographers will soon have a harder time escaping prosecution thanks to a stunning new technology in development at Binghamton University, State University of New York, that can reliably link digital images to the camera with which they were taken, in much the same way that tell-tale scratches are used by forensic examiners to link bullets... view more...

Scientists: As rainfall changes, tropical plants may acclimate
Tropical plants may be more adaptable than commonly thought to changing rainfall patterns expected to accompany a warming climate, new research shows. view more (2007-05-08)
Electron self-injection into an evolving plasma bubble
Particle accelerators are among the largest and most expensive scientific instruments. Thirty years ago, theorists John Dawson and Toshiki Tajima proposed an idea for making them thousands of times smaller: surf the particles on plasma waves driven by short intense laser pulses. view more (2009-11-03)
Devolution has meant growing policy differences between Scotland, Wales and England
Significantly different approaches to key public policy issues have emerged in Scotland and Wales since devolution, as the new administrations in Edinburgh and Cardiff have rejected consumer choice and diversity in favour of professionalism and uniformity. view more (2005-03-17)
Enabling graphene-based technology via chemical functionalization
Graphene is an atomically thin sheet of carbon that has attracted significant attention due to its potential use in high-performance electronics, sensors and alternative energy devices such as solar cells. view more (2009-05-18)
Access to UK Child Protection Register inadequate
Access to the UK child protection register is inadequate, and determined by a lack of standardised criteria, finds a study in Emergency Medicine Journal. view more (2002-03-21)
Penn researchers find emotional well-being has no influence on cancer survival
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have found that emotional well-being is not an independent factor affecting the prognosis of patients with head and neck cancers. view more (2007-10-22)
Platinum nanocrystals boost catalytic activity for fuel oxidation, hydrogen production
A research team composed of electrochemists and materials scientists from two continents has produced a new form of the industrially-important metal platinum: 24-facet nanocrystals whose catalytic activity per unit area can be as much as four times higher than existing commercial platinum catalysts. view more (2007-05-04)
Breakthrough: UNC scientists have created world's tiniest uniform, precisely shaped organic particles
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill chemists have developed what they believe is a breakthrough method of creating the world's tiniest manufactured particles for delivering drugs and other organic materials into the human body. view more (2005-06-22)
Perforating aircraft wings with minute holes could make for more efficient flying.
One way to make aeroplanes fly more efficiently is to drill millions of tiny holes in the leading edges of the wings. Like the dimples on a golf ball this has the effect of reducing drag. However, producing these holes on a manufacturing scale is not yet commercially feasible. Researchers at Heriot-Watt University, funded by the Engineering and... view more... (2002-01-14)
new structural view of organic electronic devices
Although still in the qualifying rounds, U.S. researchers are helping manufacturers win the race to develop low-cost ways to commercialize a multitude of products based on inexpensive organic electronic materials-from large solar-power arrays to electronic newspapers that can be bent and folded. view more (2005-09-13)
Study challenges idea that schizophrenia is distinct in developing and developed regions
Research by the World Health Organization (WHO) has suggested that the course and symptomatic expression of schizophrenia is relatively more benign in developing societies. However, a new study from Current Anthropology challenges this assumption, comparing biological and cultural indicators of schizophrenia in urban, Western societies with study... view more...

MedImmune to present RSV surveillance and cost-effectiveness data at American Academy of Pediatrics
MedImmune, Inc. today announced it will present three abstracts at the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) 2007 National Conference & Exhibition, adding to the company's growing body of research into the prevention of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a leading cause of hospitalization among infants. view more (2007-10-29)
Insights into polymer film instability could aid high tech industries
While exploring the properties of polymer formation, a team of scientists at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has made a fundamental discovery about these materials that could improve methods of creating the stable crystalline films that are widely used in electronics applications-and also offer insight into a range of... view more...

Quantum dots: get your free samples here!
A company spun out from the UK's University of Manchester has become the first in the world to produce and ship multi-gram quantities of quantum dots - and has launched a unique 'Free Evaluation Samples' program throughout the EU and UK. Using a patented process, Nanoco Ltd is not only able to ship its standard 'NanoDots' in production-level... view more... (2002-10-23)
Researchers at University of Pennsylvania develop method for mass production of nanogap electrodes
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a reliable, reproducible method for parallel fabrication of multiple nanogap electrodes, a development crucial to the creation of mass-produced nanoscale electronics. view more (2007-08-17)
