Metal composition hold key to identity of modern sculptures
How do you tell when, where and how a Picasso or a Matisse sculpture was cast? view more (2009-07-31)
Nitrous Oxide Emissions Respond Differently to No-Till Depending on the Soil Type
The practice of no-till has increased considerably during the past 20 yr. The absence of tillage coupled with the accumulation of crop residues at the soil surface modifies several soil properties but also influence nitrogen dynamics. view more (2008-10-23)
Terahertz waves are effective probes for IC heat barriers
By modifying a commonly used commercial infrared spectrometer to allow operation at long-wave terahertz frequencies, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) discovered an efficient new approach to measure key structural properties of nanoscale metal-oxide films used in high-speed integrated circuits. view more (2009-05-11)
MIT forges greener path to iron production
MIT engineers have demonstrated an eco-friendly way to make iron that eliminates the greenhouse gases usually associated with its production. view more (2006-09-13)
Dietary intake of antioxidants associated with reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration
A diet with a high intake of beta carotene, vitamins C and E, and zinc is associated with a substantially reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration in elderly persons, according to a study in the December 28 issue of JAMA. view more (2005-12-29)
Leprosy, tuberculosis, and peanuts
Nitric oxide is a natural part of the body’s immune defense. Linköping University researcher Thomas Schön has studied this compound in connection with the skin disease leprosy and the lung disease tuberculosis. The Swedish researcher has found that nitric oxide probably contributes to the disease in the case of leprosy but, on the... view more... (2002-11-01)
Nitrous gases and zinc in the crosshairs
The Senate Commission for the Investigation of Health Hazards of Chemical Compounds in the Work Area established by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) has issued the MAK and BAT Values List for 2009. This year's list contains 62 changes and new entries. view more (2009-07-29)
University of the Basque Country researcher makes progress in optimising solid oxide fuel cells
While our standard of life increases, so does the worldwide energy demand. In this vein, the application of technologies based on fuel cells is put forward as an alternative to the massive consumption of fossil fuels. view more (2009-09-18)
Graphene oxide paper could spawn a new class of materials
Nearly 2,000 years ago, the discovery of paper revolutionized human communication. Now researchers at Northwestern University have fabricated a new type of paper that they hope will create a revolution of its own -- and while it won't replace your notepad, this remarkably stiff and strong yet lightweight material should find use in a wide variety... view more...

Ames Laboratory researchers rethink zinc
Try as they might, ancient alchemists could never turn lead into gold. Neither can the members of the Novel Materials group at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory. But these physicists do have a way with materials, and they can get them to do some pretty amazing things. view more (2007-04-18)
Placing single nanowires: NIST makes the connection
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have devised a system for manipulating and precisely positioning individual nanowires on semiconductor wafers. view more (2007-04-30)
Scientists discover zinc link to a leading cause of blindness
An international research team including scientists at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) and the Galveston-based spinoff Neurobiotex, Inc. has found high levels of zinc in deposits in the eye that are an indication of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) — the leading cause of blindness in the elderly in the... view more...

Controlling algal blooms
Diatoms, highly successful photosynthetic plankton responsible for 40% of the net primary production in the oceans, undergo seasonal population explosions called phytoplankton blooms that attract billions of krill, copepods, and other grazing predators. view more (2006-02-21)
Nitrous oxide: definitely no laughing matter
Farmers, food suppliers, policy-makers, business leaders and environmentalists are joining forces to confront the threat of the 'forgotten greenhouse gas' by taking part in an influential new forum at the University of East Anglia (UEA). view more (2008-02-19)
Major 'missed' biochemical pathway emerges as important in virtually all cells
A new study by Duke University researchers provides more evidence that the nitric oxide (NO) system in the life of a cell plays a key role in disease, and the findings point to ways to improve treatment of illnesses such as heart disease and cancer. view more (2008-05-23)
Non Fire Yet But The Sensors Snap Into Action
Russian researchers offer a fundamentally new approach to the development of gas sensors for fire-prevention detecting devices. In contrast to already known ones, these sensors allow to detect unerringly fire occurrence at its earliest stage. However, this is not a single advantage of the innovation or a sole field of application. view more (2004-12-06)
New method for detecting nitroxyl will boost cardiac drug research
Wake Forest University scientists have developed a new research tool in the pursuit of heart medications based on the compound nitroxyl by identifying unique chemical markers for its presence in biological systems. view more (2009-07-06)
UWE scientists find link between wilting plants and impotence
Researchers studying plant behaviour have discovered similarities between the processes preventing plants from wilting and humans from suffering impotence. Data recently published by the University of the West of England shows the same chemical chain of events is involved in both situations - and has led to an understanding of how water loss from... view more...

NO solution to high salt intake
Nitric oxide, normally toxic at high concentrations, is now known to be involved in a number of functions within the nervous system of many animals. New research being presented today at the Society for Experimental Biology conference reveals for the first time that nitric oxide is also present within the neurosecretory system of fish and may help... view more...
