Molecules of hydrogen are difficult to steer with electric fields because of the symmetrical way that charges are distributed within them. But now researchers at ETH Zurich have found a clever technique to get a grip on the molecules.
The new findings, to be published online on September 13, 2009, by Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, also suggest targets for zinc-regulating drugs, and may even advance the understanding of similar zinc-regulating enzymes in plant chloroplasts with possible implications for biofuel production.
Astrid Skreosen has worked for many years as an auxiliary nurse in the maternity ward in Skien Hospital. She became fed up with the little mats which were supposed to lie under women who were giving birth, and were intended to soak up waste products and fluids.
This unique class of materials is commanding much attention now because they can display properties such as colossal magnetoresistance and high-temperature superconductivity, which are highly coveted by the high-tech industry.
Imagine a polka-dotted postage stamp that can sniff out poisonous gases or deadly toxins simply by changing colors.
Researchers at The University of Nottingham have a new weapon in their arsenal of tools to push back the boundaries of science, engineering, veterinary medicine and archaeology. From soils and sediments, to chunks of pavement, archaeological remains and chocolate bars... the Nanotom, the most advanced 3D X-ray micro Computed Tomography (CT) scanner in the world, will help scientists from a wide variety of departments across the University literally see through solids.
The equipment in the new facility, which includes an Orion Microscope and a Focused Ion Beam, will make high-speed, non-volatile and low-power computer memory a reality and make it possible to carry out fast prototyping and to develop smaller, faster and more powerful single electron devices. Research teams are also working on a method of mass producing point of care blood testing kits.
Cold weather poses a threat to human health and can cause adverse affects such as reduced physiological functions, work performance and wellbeing. Constantly evolving development is required to ensure that textile advanc...
Advances in the understanding of the charge transport and the factors that affect electroluminescence efficiency in SWNTs are necessary to develop nanoscale light sources.
The Eclipse LV150L is the latest addition to Nikon’s renowned LV series of industrial microscopes. Designed especially for episcopic illumination, the LV150L is the ideal, cost-effective instrument for a wide variety of production line applications involving opaque workpieces.
