And the "Vanadium Award" goes to...
The Institute of Materials has awarded Carlos Garcia, Beatriz L'³pez and Jose Maria Rodr'­guez-Ibabe from the CEIT Research Organisation (Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones Técnicas de Gipuzkoa) with The Vanadium Award for the article "Static Recrystallization Kinetics in Warm Worked... view more (2001-06-08)

Under pressure, vanadium won't turn down the volume
Scientists at Carnegie's Geophysical Laboratory have discovered a new type of phase transition—a change from one form to another—in vanadium, a metal that is commonly added to steel to make it harder and more durable.   view more (2007-02-21)

Quantum mechanics predicts unusual lattice dynamics of vanadium metal under high pressure
A Swedish research team of Dr. Wei Luo & Professor Rajeev Ahuja and US team of Dr. Y. Ding & Prof. H.K. Mao have used theoretical calculations to understand a totally new type of high-pressure structural phase transition in Vanadium.   view more (2007-10-12)

Researcher discovers new materials
A research team led by Carnegie Mellon University Materials Science and Biomedical Engineering Professor Prashant Kumta has discovered a nanocrystalline material that is cheaper, more stable and produces a higher quality energy storage capacity for use in a variety of industrial and portable... view more (2006-07-11)

Vanadium appears to play role in speeding recovery from infections
Dietary supplements containing vanadium are used by body builders to help beef up muscles and by some diabetic people to control blood sugar.   view more (2005-10-12)

Niobium prize
CEIT, the research centre based in Donostia-San Sebastian in the Basque Country, has been awarded this year's International Charles Hatchett prize by the Materials Institute in London. They will receive the award on the 10 June in recognition of their work, highly important in the steel industrial... view more (2003-05-22)

Scientists Formulate Intelligent Glass That Blocks Heat Not Light
Soaring air conditioning bills or suffering in the sweltering heat could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to UCL chemists. Reporting in the Journal of Materials Chemistry, researchers reveal they have developed an intelligent window coating that, when applied to the glass of buildings or cars,... view more (2004-08-06)

EPA-led group finds same protein that attracts nutrient iron protects lung from particles
Multi-vitamin products, nutritional supplements and parents tout the need for such mineral elements as calcium, zinc, phosphorus, iron and others.   view more (2005-10-05)

Nanoscale Tubing Assembles Itself Instantly
Making tubes useful often means joining them to other tubes and linking them together in networks. Easy enough to do with standard water pipes - but on the nanoscale, joining nanotubes is hard to do.   view more (2006-02-28)

Asian rubies come always with marble and salt
Ruby is mineralogically the chromiferous variety of corundum gemstone, in other words an aluminium oxide in which some of the aluminium ions have been substituted by chromium. Chromium contributes, along with vanadium, another metal constituent of ruby, to the crystal's red colour. The most prized... view more (2004-01-30)

New fertilizer SRM can help control heavy metal content
A new reference material developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can help the agriculture industry and state regulators monitor the concentrations of several potentially hazardous heavy metal contaminants in fertilizers.   view more (2006-10-13)

Surf's up - and one coastal microbe has adapted
California beachgoers may look lazy. But just a few miles off shore, scientists have discovered that a common coastal strain of cyanobacteria works diligently to thrive in choppy, polluted waters.   view more (2006-08-29)

Greenhouse gas burial
Deep coal seams that are not commercially viable for coal production could be used for permanent underground storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated by human activities, thus avoiding atmospheric release.   view more (2007-06-26)

Nature Press Release for 18th April Issue

Arctic pollution's surprising history
Scientists know that air pollution particles from mid-latitude cities migrate to the Arctic and form an ugly haze, but a new University of Utah study finds surprising evidence that polar explorers saw the same phenomenon as early as 1870.   view more (2008-03-19)
