Dual catalysts may be the key to efficiently turning carbon dioxide and water vapor into methane and other hydrocarbons using titania nanotubes and solar power, according to Penn State researchers. view more (2009-03-05)
Delft University of Technology research might prevent asphalt damage
Repairing asphalt damage caused by water infiltration costs a great deal of money and produces extra traffic delays. view more (2007-06-06)
Viscosity-enhancing nanomaterials may double service life of concrete
Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are patenting a method that is expected to double the service life of concrete. view more (2009-02-12)
Scientists tackle international environmental problem - ballast water
A new research project aims to tackle a huge environmental problem which costs the worldwide economy billions of pounds each year and which scientists say is worse than an oil slick. view more (2001-11-22)
Renaturation of waterbodies does not have to be expensive
The water landscape in many countries has many deficiencies. The ecological consequences of this are poor water quality as well as a deterioration and a shift of the naturally occurring species spectrum. The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Germany, has examined the existing morphological water structure deficiencies... view more... (2002-08-20)
At that star, turn left!
Our bodies contain proteins that are made of smaller molecules that can be either left- or right-handed, depending upon their structure. Regardless of which hand we use to write, however, all human beings are `left-handed` at the molecular level. Life on Earth uses the left-handed variety and no one knows how this preference crept into living... view more... (2002-10-17)
Forget the freezer: Research suggests novel way to control water behavior
Researchers may be able to "freeze" water into a solid, not by cooling but by confining it to narrow spaces less than one-millionth of a millimeter wide, according to new results from an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers. view more (2009-02-23)
From frog skin to human colon: rapid responses to steroid hormones
New research on steroid hormone action in the human colon and kidney could pave the way for novel therapeutic targets for the treatment of hypertension and diarrhoea. Prof Brian Harvey at University College Cork has been studying how the hormones oestrogen and aldosterone produce rapid changes in the transport of salt and water through human... view more...

New surprising results about the research on glaciers
In order to understand the dynamics of glaciers and ice sheets as well as their interactions with climate, we need fundamental detailed knowledge about the way in which glaciers and ice sheets move. The way water is routed through glaciers is highly significant for their movement since the water pressure at the base of the glacier directly... view more... (2005-02-09)
Research into viral infections: Cardiff University enters agreement with Glaxo Wellcome Inc.
The collaboration is based on the work of the research group of Professor Chris McGuigan at Cardiff University's Welsh School of Pharmacy, which has discovered a new method for inserting charged molecules into living cells. The Cardiff team is collaborating with virologists at the Rega Institute1 in Belgium on this invention, which may have major... view more... (1999-07-20)
atugen AG demonstrates in vivo proof-of-concept in siRNA therapeutics
Berlin, 11 May 2004 - atugen AG, The Gene Silencing Company, announced today that it has demonstrated, in vivo, proof-of-concept in functional delivery of its highly stable siRNA therapeutics. In a series of repeat studies to test glucose tolerance in normal rodents, atugen's siRNA therapy was shown to be effective in regulating blood sugar... view more... (2004-05-11)
Stirred, not shaken: Bio-inspired cilia mix medical reagents at small scales
The equipment used for biomedical research is shrinking, but the physical properties of the fluids under investigation are not changing. view more (2009-07-01)
Scrubbing sulfur
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a reusable organic liquid that can pull harmful gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide out of industrial emissions from power plants. view more (2009-08-18)
Novel bacterial strains clear algal toxins from drinking water
Novel bacterial strains capable of neutralizing toxins produced by blue-green algae have been identified by researchers at Robert Gordon's University, Aberdeen. view more (2009-09-08)
U of T scientists identify gene that has enabled water striders to glide across water
Water striders, the familiar semi-aquatic bugs gliding across the lake at the cottage, have a novel body form that allows them to walk on water. view more (2009-08-14)
Unexpected similarities between raindrops and proteins
Raindrops and proteins seem to have a lot in common. This has been shown in a new study by scientists at Ume'å University in Sweden. The principle behind the formation of raindrops is very similar to how proteins fold. This knowledge is vital to our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. These findings have been published in... view more... (2004-05-26)
NASA images, White Sands features support a wetter Mars
NASA's announcement yesterday of evidence that water still flows on Mars, at least in brief spurts, demonstrates that the view of Mars as a very dry planet should be reevaluated, says Dawn Sumner, professor of geology at UC Davis. Recent work from by Sumner and graduate student Greg Chavdarian also supports the presence of liquid water near the... view more... (2006-12-08)
Fear of water wars ungrounded
Water is a source of cooperation, rather than conflict, at least when it comes to armed conflict. States tend to find ways to reach an agreement rather than to engage in war over shared water resources. Sinister phrophecies about future water wars should therefore be taken with a pinch of salt. This is the somewhat surprising conclusion which... view more... (2003-11-12)
NRL researchers report a forceful new method to sensitively detect proteins
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) recently reported the detection of toxins with unprecedented speed, sensitivity, and simplicity. The approach can sense as few as a few hundred molecules in a drop of blood in less than 10 minutes, with only four simple steps from sample to answer. view more (2009-03-17)
