Safe, versatile and environmentally friendly chemicals could replace hazardous, petroleum-based solvents used in science labs and industrial plants. view more (2005-10-24)
Physicists create a 'perfect' way to study the Big Bang
Physicists have created the state of matter thought to have filled the Universe just a few microseconds after the big bang and found it to be different from what they were expecting. Instead of a gas, it is more like a liquid. Understanding why it is a liquid should take physicists a step closer to explaining the earliest moments of our Universe. view more (2005-07-21)
Magnetorheological fluids set to revolutionise dynamic vehicle suspension systems
Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are smart materials whose flow/viscosity properties can be modified by applying an electric field. view more (2005-11-30)
Nano-machines achieve huge mechanical breakthrough
A major advance in nanotechnology with far-reaching potential benefits in medicine and other fields is to be announced at this year's BA Festival of Science in Dublin. view more (2005-09-07)
Rivers on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, resemble those on Earth
Recent evidence from the Huygens Probe of the Cassini Mission suggests that Titan, the largest moon orbiting Saturn, is a world where rivers of liquid methane sculpt channels in continents of ice. view more (2005-12-06)
New designer lipid-like peptide with lipid nanostructures for drug delivery systems
Scientists from Institute of Biophysics and Nanosystems Research (IBN), Austrian Academy of Sciences and of Centre for Biomedical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA report the study of "Tuning Curvature and Stability of Monoolein Bilayers by Designer Lipid-Like Peptide Surfactants" in the May 30th issue of... view more...

Coal-based jet fuel poised for next step
A jet fuel comparable to Jet A or military JP 8, but derived from at least 50 percent bituminous coal, has successfully powered a helicopter jet engine, according to a Penn State fuel scientist. view more (2006-03-28)
Researchers help sort out the carbon nanotube problem
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and university researchers report a significant step toward sorting out the nanotube "problem"-the challenge of overcoming processing obstacles so that the remarkable properties of the tiny cylindrical structures can be exploited in new polymer composite materials of exceptional... view more...

Simple device which uses electrical field could boost gas efficiency
With the high cost of gasoline and diesel fuel impacting costs for automobiles, trucks, buses and the overall economy, a Temple University physics professor has developed a simple device which could dramatically improve fuel efficiency as much as 20 percent. view more (2008-09-26)
Obtaining high performance coatings through simple latex film simulations
In the formation of high performance coatings, it is known that the process whereby a film forms from a colloidal dispersion is a key step. view more (2005-11-28)
Solving the mystery of the Tibetan Plateau
A University of Alberta physicist who helped solve the age-old mystery of what keeps afloat the highest plateau on earth has added more pieces to the Tibetan puzzle. Dr. Martyn Unsworth has uncovered new research about the Tibetan Plateau-an immense region that for years has plagued scientists studying how the area became so elevated. view more (2005-11-04)
'Vortex lattices' may help explain material defects
What do you get when you superimpose a rotating pattern of intersecting laser beams on a spinning cloud of ultracold atoms in a thin gas? Pretty pictures, for one thing-but also a new method that could be used to simulate why and how defects arise in superconductors, important materials that are difficult to study directly. view more (2006-12-26)
Researcher examines polymers created with poultry feathers
Biodegradable polymers created from poultry feathers may add value to the poultry industry and help solve the growing environmental problem of plastic waste. view more (2007-03-30)
Microorganisms helps us to drive more oil from the oil-bearing bed
When the reservoir pressure drops the oil field dries up though there is a lot of oil. To pump out the remains one has to apply pressure by pumping into the oil-bearing bed water or gas. Other method - to apply biotechnology. The oil is contaminated with specially bred mi-croorganism strains, which produce gas, acids and surface active agents... view more... (1999-08-18)
MIT engineers probe spiders' polymer art
A team of MIT engineers has identified two key physical processes that lend spider silk its unrivaled strength and durability, bringing closer to reality the long-sought goal of spinning artificial spider silk. view more (2006-10-31)
External Magnetic Field Causes The Puzzling Heating Of The Solar Corona
The Russian astrophysicists have theoretically modelled coronal loop oscillations and have shown that the plasma present in coronal loops is quite "normal". So, the puzzle of the Sun`s atmosphere heating remains unresolved. Coronal loops, immense magnetic arches more hot and dense than the coronal... view more... (2002-06-21)
Slick and Springy: Brown Research Reveals Protein's Role in Joints
Synovial fluid is slime with a serious purpose: Protecting shoulders, hips and other joints from wear, reducing the likelihood of injuries and arthritis. view more (2007-04-09)
Ancient volcanic eruptions caused global mass extinction
A previously unknown giant volcanic eruption that led to global mass extinction 260million years ago has been uncovered by scientists at the University of Leeds. view more (2009-05-29)
Making thick Ketchup
Specialists of the Moscow company "IZOBRETATEL" ("Inventor") have designed and patented a new device - the consistence express analyzer. The designers do not assert that their device will cause a revolution in science. They do not even state that they have developed a device for scientific research. However, this simple device... view more... (2003-07-18)
