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)
Nano-sandwich Triggers Novel Electron Behavior
A material just six atoms thick in which electrons appear to be guided by conflicting laws of physics depending on their direction of travel has been discovered by a team of physicists at the University of California, Davis. Working with computational models, the team has found that the electrons in a thin layer of vanadium dioxide sandwiched... view more... (2009-05-05)
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 consumer electronic products. 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)
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, reflects the sun's heat so you don't get too hot... view more...

Garlic chemical tablet treats diabetes I and II
A drug based on a chemical found in garlic can treat diabetes types I and II when taken as a tablet, a study in the new Royal Society of Chemistry journal Metallomics says. view more (2008-11-20)
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 sector. The aim of their research has been the... view more... (2003-05-22)
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide promotes algal growth
It is usually thought that unlike terrestrial plants, submerged plants like algae will not show any response to an increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide. This view may be biased by a neglect of the effects of the plants themselves on the water chemistry. In the June issue of Ecology Letters, Schippers, Lürling and Scheffer of the Wageningen... view more... (2004-05-13)
Global warming may not have ended Ice-Age, says research
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have used fossilised leaves to determine the effect of greenhouse gases on the end of the Ice Age 300m years ago, according to an article published in PNAS. The study, led by Professor David Beerling, examined fossilised leaves to determine how much carbon dioxide was in the air at various periods during... view more... (2002-09-12)
UA scientists part of Supreme Court case on carbon dioxide emissions
Four faculty members from The University of Arizona in Tucson were part of an amicus curiae brief supporting the plaintiff in today's historic U.S. Supreme Court decision on carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. view more (2007-04-03)
Putting a Strain on Nanowires Could Yield Colossal Results
In finally answering an elusive scientific question, researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have shown that the selective placement of strain can alter the electronic phase and its spatial arrangement in correlated electron materials. view more (2009-09-18)
A new measure of global warming from carbon emissions
Damon Matthews, a professor in Concordia University's Department of Geography, Planning and the Environment has found a direct relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. view more (2009-06-11)
Higher carbon dioxide, lack of nitrogen limit plant growth
Earth's plant life will not be able to "store" excess carbon from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels as well as scientists once thought because plants likely cannot get enough nutrients, such as nitrogen, when there are higher levels of carbon dioxide view more (2006-04-13)
Role of Silica in Climate Cycles
New research from the University of East Anglia (UEA) has demonstrated that the compound silica was not solely responsible for changes in carbon dioxide levels during past Ice Ages. It is already known from scientific research that during past Ice Ages increased amounts of silica, a common component of wind-blown dust, were deposited in the ocean.... view more... (2001-06-21)
Methane from microbes: a fuel for the future
Microbes could provide a clean, renewable energy source and use up carbon dioxide in the process, suggested Dr James Chong at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Tiny 'cages' could trap carbon dioxide and help stop climate change
A natural physical process has been identified that could play a key role in secure sub-seabed storage of carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fuelled power stations. view more (2006-03-17)
KTH research: Increased combustion reduces carbon dioxide emissions
New, previously overlooked technology could dramatically reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Bio-energy facilities that capture carbon dioxide from combustion gases would even make it possible to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The idea of capturing carbon dioxide and storing it in bedrock is not actually new. In recent... view more... (2001-11-23)
EARLY PROMISE OF SIMPLE TEST FOR DIAGNOSING MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA (p 1579)
German authors of a research letter in this week’s issue of THE LANCET describe the potential of a straightforward test for identifying people at risk of the often fatal reaction to general anaesthetics, a syndrome known as malignant hyperthermia. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a chain-reaction event triggered in susceptible individuals by... view more... (2002-05-01)
