Researchers at MIT have developed a new type of lithium battery that could become a cheaper alternative to the batteries that now power hybrid electric cars. view more (2006-02-17)
Mood Lighting: Penn Researchers Determine Role of Serotonin in Modulating Circadian Rhythm
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have determined how serotonin decreases the body's sensitivity to light and that exposure to constant darkness leads to a decrease in serotonin levels in the brain of fruit flies. view more (2005-07-11)
MIT makes move toward vehicles that morph
Picture a bird, effortlessly adjusting its wings to catch every current of air. Airplanes that could do the same would have many advantages over today's flying machines, including increased fuel efficiency. view more (2006-03-23)
Closing In On Quantum Chemistry
Researchers in the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have simulated the process by which a quantum computer could calculate to high precision an important basic property of two small molecules. view more (2005-09-09)
MIT researchers build tiny batteries with viruses
MIT scientists have harnessed the construction talents of tiny viruses to build ultra-small "nanowire" structures for use in very thin lithium-ion batteries. view more (2006-04-07)
Clock molecule's sensitivity to lithium sheds light on bipolar disorder
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine discovered that a key receptor protein is a critical component of the internal molecular clock in mammals. What's more, this molecule -called Rev-erb- is sensitive to lithium and may help shed light on circadian rhythm disorders, including bipolar disorder. view more (2006-02-17)
Sandia researchers seek ways to make lithium-ion batteries work longer, safer
As part of the Department of Energy-funded FreedomCAR program, Sandia National Laboratories' Power Sources Technology Group is researching ways to make lithium-ion batteries work longer and safer. view more (2006-01-17)

Rounding up gases, nano-style
A new process for catching gas from the environment and holding it indefinitely in molecular-sized containers has been developed by a team of University of Calgary researchers, who say it represents a novel method of gas storage that could yield benefits for capturing, storing and transporting gases more safely and efficiently. view more (2008-02-04)
Delft researchers predict 'nanobattery' performance
Researchers at Delft University of Technology can predict how nanostructuring - the extreme reduction of structure - will affect the performance of Li-ion batteries. view more (2007-04-03)
With double frequency to deeper blue
Light transports data at high speed over fibre-optic networks. Light measures and creates images of large and small objects in scanners and microscopes. Light writes information onto all sorts of recording media and surfaces. The best-quality light is produced by lasers, which have meanwhile become an indispensable tool - not only in medicine and... view more... (2003-07-01)
Microscopic sea creatures provide foundation for gas sensors and other devices
The three-dimensional shells of tiny ocean creatures could provide the foundation for novel electronic devices, including gas sensors able to detect pollution faster and more efficiently than conventional devices. view more (2007-03-12)
2 unusual older stars giving birth to second wave of planets
Hundreds of millions - or even billions - of years after planets would have initially formed around two unusual stars, a second wave of planetesimal and planet formation appears to be taking place, UCLA astronomers and colleagues believe. view more (2008-01-10)
New battery technology helps stimulate nerves
With the help of new silicon-based compounds, scientists - and patients - are getting a significant new charge out of the tiny lithium batteries used in implantable devices to help treat nervous system and other disorders. view more (2005-10-05)
Drug commonly used to treat bipolar disorder dramatically increases lifespan in worms
Nematode worms treated with lithium show a 46 percent increase in lifespan, raising the tantalizing question of whether humans taking the mood affecting drug are also taking an anti-aging medication. view more (2007-10-31)
Sweet nanotech batteries
Nanotechnology could improve the life of the lithium batteries used in portable devices, including laptop computers, mp3 players, and mobile phones. Research to be published in the Inderscience publication - International Journal of Nanomanufacturing - demonstrates that carbon nanotubes can prevent such batteries from losing their charge capacity... view more...

Lithium battery cathodes being made using novel sol-gel method
Lithium batteries increasingly permeate our lives in all manner of electrical devices. Researchers from Thailand report on a study that investigates the use of the sol-gel method to produce battery cathodes from a new material. view more (2005-09-27)
MIT physicists create new form of matter
MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity. view more (2005-06-22)
New accelerator technique doubles particle energy in just one meter
Imagine a car that accelerates from zero to 60 in 250 feet, and then rockets to 120 miles per hour in just one more inch. view more (2007-02-15)
Ceramic material revs up microwaving
Quicker microwave meals that use less energy may soon be possible with new ceramic microwave dishes and, according to the material scientists responsible, this same material could help with organic waste remediation. view more (2008-08-29)
