A Staffordshire University hazard expert has joined a special UK Government watchdog group
A Staffordshire University hazard expert has joined a special UK Government watchdog group to help ensure the public is better protected from major disasters such as firework explosions similar to the one which shocked Holland last year. Gordon Walker, the University's Head of Geography, has been appointed as a member of the Advisory Committee on... view more... (2001-07-06)
High-value chemicals produced from ethanol feedstocks could boost biorefinery economics
Biorefineries developed to produce ethanol from cellulose sources such as trees and fast-growing plants could get a significant economic boost from the sale of high-value chemicals - such as vanillin flavoring - that could be generated from the same feedstock. view more (2006-09-11)
Mitochondrial genes move to the nucleus
Why mitochondrial genes ditch their cushy haploid environs to take up residence in a large and chaotic nucleus has long stumped evolutionary biologists, but Indiana University Bloomington scientists report in this week's Science that they've uncovered an important clue in flowering plants. view more (2007-03-23)
Recycling: more than just a word
Recycling of plastics is a troublesome business. If they are shredded and melted down together the end products are often relatively worthless materials; this is known in the trade as "downcycling". If plastics are broken down into their constituent parts in the refining process, the products obtained are simply ones which can be made more cheaply... view more... (1998-11-20)
Recycling of electronic circuit boards
GAIKER, research center from the Basque Country is a participant in a project at a multinational level which is financed by the European Union Competitive and Sustainable Growth Project. The project is to develop innovative technology which will have two aspects or stages: firstly the separation and recovery of components capable of being reused... view more... (2003-01-21)
Babies placed in incubators decrease risk of depression as adults
Babies who receive incubator care after birth are two to three times less likely to suffer depression as adults according to a new study published in the journal Pyschiatry Research. view more (2008-11-11)

Earth's turbulence stirs things up slower than expected
In a simple world rivers would flow in straight lines, every airplane ride would be smooth, and we would know the daily weather 10 years into the future. But the world is not simple - it is turbulent. view more (2006-03-06)

Chromosome glue repairs damaged DNA
When a strand of DNA breaks in the body's cells, it normally does not take long until it has been repaired. Now researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have discovered a new mechanism that helps to explain how the cell performs these repairs. The results are presented in Science. view more (2007-07-16)
Letting the spin loose
Two properties of an electron-its spin and its charge-are generally thought to be inseparable, intrinsic characteristics, no more given to sudden changes or going off on their own than say, the fur on a cat or the paint on a bicycle. But a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has recently demonstrated conclusively that, in very... view more... (2005-07-13)
Molds for Molecules
Molecular imprints in polymers as reaction vessels for pharmaceuticals research Materials with the tiniest of cavities, which can take up other molecules as "guests", play a meaningful role in science and technology. A particularly interesting process for the synthesis of materials with precisely fitted cavities is known as molecular imprinting.... view more... (2002-11-28)
MSG-1 weather satellite ready for commissioning
ESA PR 61-2002. The first of Eumetsat`s new generation of weather satellites, MSG-1, has arrived on station at 10.5°W in geostationary orbit at 36,000 kilometres above the Earth. After separation from the Ariane-5 launcher on 29 August, ESA's European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt took the spacecraft under control on behalf of... view more... (2002-09-27)
Magnetic nanoparticles facilitate separations in 'one-pot' multi-step reactions
Using the unique properties of new nanometer-scale magnetic particles, researchers have for the first time separated for reuse two different catalysts from a multi-step chemical reaction done in a single vessel. view more (2006-03-15)
MIT solves 100-year-old engineering problem
As a car accelerates up and down a hill then slows to follow a hairpin turn, the airflow around it cannot keep up and detaches from the vehicle. This aerodynamic separation creates additional drag that slows the car and forces the engine to work harder. The same phenomenon affects airplanes, boats, submarines, and even your golf ball. view more (2008-09-26)
Discovery of a satellite around the transneptunian object 1998 WW31
Alain Doressoundiram (Observatoire de Paris) and Christian Veillet (CFH Institute) have just discovered that the transneptunian object 1998 WW31 is in fact a double object. It is during their multi-color photometry and recovery of transneptunian objects program that they made this discovery. This program is carried out on the Canada-France-Hawaii... view more...

Magnet lab researcher exploring science behind commercial applications of liquid helium
In a letter published in a recent issue of Nature Physics, Van Sciver wrote that when superfluid helium flows toward and then around a relatively large object, say the size of a small stone, it has a tendency to create whirlpools not just in the back, as would be expected, but also in the front. view more (2005-12-12)
Beagle 2 Information Note: The Beginning of Beagle 2's Lone Odyssey
Image Advisory: The Beginning of Beagle 2's Lone Odyssey Following the successful separation of the British-built Beagle 2 spacecraft and the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter earlier today, ESA has released the first images of the small lander as it begins its lone voyage to the surface of the Red Planet. The images, taken with the... view more... (2003-12-19)
Improved Method for Separation of Organic Isomers
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Inorganic Chemistry have devised a novel method for separating polar organic compounds, providing a useful alternative to the usual methods of chromatography or crystallisation. The separation of mixtures of organic and inorganic compounds is of considerable importance in most areas of industrial... view more... (2003-02-11)
