Research helps understand factors that influence efficiency of organic-based devices
Organic-based devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes, require a transparent conductive layer with a high work function, meaning it promotes injection of electron holes into an organic layer to produce more light. view more (2008-07-09)
Solar energy: Charged for the future
Once regarded as costly and impractical, solar technology is now poised to play a larger role in the future, thanks to new developments that could result in lower costs and improved efficiency. view more (2006-09-11)
Batteries get a boost at Rice
Need to store electricity more efficiently? Put it behind bars. That's essentially the finding of a team of Rice University researchers who have created hybrid carbon nanotube metal oxide arrays as electrode material that may improve the performance of lithium-ion batteries. view more (2009-02-10)
Silicon nanowires upgrade data-storage technology
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with colleagues at George Mason University and Kwangwoon University in Korea, have fabricated a memory device that combines silicon nanowires with a more traditional type of data-storage. view more (2007-06-11)
Gene signature may predict patient response to therapy for gastrointestinal stromal tumors
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center uncovered a genetic pattern that may help predict how gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) patients respond to the targeted therapy imatinib mesylate (Gleevec). view more (2009-05-15)
Tracking Down the Menace in Mexico City Smog
A new report by scientists who are part of the international MILAGRO Campaign indicates that some of the most harmful air pollution in Mexico City may not come from motor vehicles but instead originates with industrial sources - and that the culprit may be garbage incineration. view more (2008-09-08)
Gender, coupled with diabetes, affects vascular disease development
Diabetes is associated with the development of vascular (blood vessel) disease. As we age, vascular disease becomes more common. view more (2007-08-16)
Preclinical Study Links Gene to Brain Aneurysm Formation
University of Cincinnati (UC) neurovascular researchers have identified a gene that-when suppressed or completely absent-may predispose a person to brain aneurysms. view more (2007-08-08)
UCF researcher's nanoparticles could someday lead to end of chemotherapy
Nanoparticles specially engineered by University of Central Florida Assistant Professor J. Manuel Perez and his colleagues could someday target and destroy tumors, sparing patients from toxic, whole-body chemotherapies. view more (2009-06-17)
Body's "wonder gas" could tackle asthma and heart disease
The body's all-pervasive "wonder gas" nitric oxide is giving up its secrets to a high-powered team of researchers at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College London and the knowledge may lead to new treatments for asthma, heart disease, joint problems and a range of other conditions. The work is being led by... view more... (2000-04-10)
OSU Creates World's First Transparent Integrated Circuit
Researchers at Oregon State University have created the world's first completely transparent integrated circuit from inorganic compounds, another major step forward for the rapidly evolving field of transparent electronics. view more (2006-03-20)
Novel light-sensitive compounds show promise for cancer therapy
Chemists at the University of California, Santa Cruz, have developed novel compounds that show promise for photodynamic cancer therapy, which uses light-activated drugs to kill tumor cells. view more (2009-06-17)
Pluronic L-81 is a potential anti-diabetic drug?
Pluronic surfactants are synthetic copolymers based on ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. view more (2009-07-08)
People are more suggestible under laughing gas
The pain-relieving effects of nitrous oxide - laughing gas - may be enhanced by suggestion or hypnosis, according to a new study by UCL (University College London). The study's findings - that people are more suggestible under the gas - mean that dental patients may benefit from being coached to relax while undergoing sedation. view more (2009-01-09)
Study shows direct link between leptin and obesity-related cardiovascular disease
Obese people who don't have high cholesterol or diabetes might think they're healthy - despite the extra pounds. view more (2008-11-11)
Active ingredient in common Chinese herb shown to reduce hypertension
Some 50 million Americans have hypertension, that is, blood pressure measuring above the normal range (less than 120/80 mmHg). If untreated, it can lead to heart attacks, strokes, or kidney disease. Lifestyle changes are the first-stage treatment for the disease, but if they fail, medications are prescribed. view more (2007-01-19)
An invisible threat could change Britain's landscapes
People and farm animals are helping an invisible pollutant to change the types of plants that grow in Britain, particularly in remote and rural regions such as the Lake District. view more (2005-02-11)
Long distance runners at risk of low bone density
Long distance running increases the risk of low bone density, shows research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Accepted wisdom is that running, as a weight bearing exercise, increases bone density and therefore reduces the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture. view more (2003-01-24)
Water and Nanoelectronics Will Mix to Create Ultra-Dense Memory Storage Devices, Researchers Say
Excessive moisture can typically wreak havoc on electronic devices, but now researchers have demonstrated that a little water can help create ultra-dense storage systems for computers and electronics. view more (2006-04-28)
Printable batteries
In the past, it was necessary to race to the bank for every money transfer and every bank statement. Today, bank transactions can be easily carried out at home. Now where is that piece of paper again with the TAN numbers? In the future you can spare yourself the search for the number. view more (2009-07-06)
