Ice has a starring role - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When even moderately hot stars like our Sun have surface temperatures of around 6,000°C, it is hard to imagine that ice plays an important part in their formation. But that`s exactly what astrophysicists have recently discovered by turning to surface scientists for help. At the Condensed Matter conference on Monday 8 April, part of the... view more...

New nanochemistry technique encases single molecules in microdroplets
Inventing a useful new tool for creating chemical reactions between single molecules, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have employed microfluidics-the manipulation of fluids at the microscopic scale-to make microdroplets that contain single molecules of interest.   view more (2009-09-23)

Molecules in glass houses
Trapping biological molecules such as proteins and enzymes or even whole cells in rigid structures make them easier to use for a whole range of industrial and medical applications. But combining fragile biological molecules with tough materials is difficult to do without damaging the molecules and destroying their biological activity. As well as... view more... (2001-08-01)

Research could help finger more criminals
Scientists at the University of Sunderland are working on new technology that could help police forces catch criminals, by providing more clear and detailed fingerprints. Researchers at the university's School of Health, Natural & Social Sciences are developing what's known as a nanoparticle suspension, which could be a major breakthrough for... view more...

Water theory is watertight, researchers say
There may be tiny bubbles in the wine, but not at the interface between water and a waxy coating on glass, a new study shows.   view more (2007-01-18)

Hot and cold moves of cyanide and water
Scientists have long known that molecules dance about as the temperature rises, but now researchers know the exact steps that water takes with a certain molecule.   view more (2009-09-03)

Step forward for nanotechnology: Controlled movement of molecules
Scientists in the United Kingdom are reporting an advance toward overcoming one of the key challenges in nanotechnology: Getting molecules to move quickly in a desired direction without help from outside forces.   view more (2009-10-01)

'Nanodrop' test tubes created with a flip of a switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new device that creates nanodroplet "test tubes" for studying individual proteins under conditions that mimic the crowded confines of a living cell.   view more (2008-04-16)

Brown Scientists Announce Finding of Water on the Moon
Brown University scientists have made a major discovery: The moon has distinct signatures of water. The discovery came from a paper published in Science detailing findings from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), a NASA instrument aboard the Indian spacecraft Chandrayaan-1. Carle Pieters, professor of geological sciences at Brown, is the principal... view more... (2009-09-24)

Fantastic plastic could cut CO2 emissions and purify water
A new membrane that mimics pores found in plants has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation.   view more (2007-10-12)

Dancing 'adatoms' help chemists understand how water molecules split
Single oxygen atoms dancing on a metal oxide slab, glowing brighter here and dimmer there, have helped chemists better understand how water splits into oxygen and hydrogen. In the process, the scientists have visualized a chemical reaction that had previously only been talked about. The new work improves our understanding of the chemistry needed... view more...

The short-term memory of water
Researchers of the Max-Born-Institute and the University of Toronto find extremely fast fluctuations in liquid water - Publication in Nature.   view more (2005-03-07)

`Glowing` technique could detect river pollution
New technology used to analyse dissolved organic matter in river water could also help scientists detect and monitor pollution, according to a new research published in the journal Hydrological Processes (1). Dissolved organic matter is found in all river water, and can come from both a natural source such as the soil, as well as human sources... view more... (2002-10-07)

Salt block unexpectedly stretches in Sandia experiments
To stretch a supply of salt generally means using it sparingly.    view more (2009-06-24)

Bringing space down to Earth to explain how stars form
In a laboratory in Nottingham, scientists are now creating the uniquely harsh conditions encountered in interstellar space. In an environment where the pressure is only one ten billion billionth (one part in 10 to the power 13) of atmospheric pressure, and the temperature a mere 10 degrees above absolute zero, Dr Martin McCoustra and his... view more...

What happens when ice melts?
How molecules are linked together to form liquid water is the subject of a groundbreaking study due to appear Thursday, Apr. 1 in Science magazine's advance publication web site Science Express. The investigation entitled The Structure of the First Coordination Shell in Liquid Water summarizes the results of an international collaboration headed... view more... (2004-04-02)

A 'Bionic Nose' That Knows
Both cancer cells and the chemicals used to make bombs can foil detection because they appear in trace amounts too small for conventional detection techniques. Tel Aviv University has developed the ultimate solution: a molecule that can magnify weak traces of "hidden" molecules into something we can detect and see.   view more (2009-03-31)

Nanoreactors for Reaction Cascades
Living cells are highly complex synthetic machines: Numerous multistep reactions run simultaneously side by side and with unbelievable efficiency and specificity. For these mainly enzymatic reactions to work so well collectively, nature makes use of a variety of concepts.   view more (2007-08-21)

Researchers study role of natural organic matter in environment
The decomposition of plant, animal and microbial material in soil and water produces a variety of complex organic molecules, collectively called natural organic matter. These compounds play many important roles in the environment.   view more (2006-12-12)
