- Mice help researchers understand chlamydia
10-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
Genetically engineered mice may hold the key to helping scientists from Queensland University of Technology and Harvard hasten the development of a vaccine to protect adolescent girls against the most common sexually transmitted disease, chlamydia. Dr Michael Starnbach from Harvard Medical School is in Australia to work with QUT on a joint research project using a "mouse model" to study how the immune system responds to infections such as chlamydia.

- Iowa State scientists demonstrate first use of nanotechnology to enter plant cells
05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team of Iowa State plant scientists and materials chemists are the first to use nanotechnology to penetrate plant cell walls and simultaneously deliver a gene and a chemical that triggers its expression with controlled precision. They modified an ISU proprietary technology-mesoporous silica nanoparticles-to work in plant cells. Their breakthrough creates a powerful new tool for targeted delivery into plant cells. The research was a highlighted article in the May issue of Nature Nanotechnology.

- Einstein researchers' prototype vaccine could provide improved protection against tuberculosis
08-01-2007 · EurekAlert!
Using a novel approach, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have developed a prototype vaccine against tuberculosis, that works better in animal models than the only TB vaccine now available. In this era of multi-drug resistant TB and growing numbers of people with active TB due to coinfection with HIV, the advance could herald a needed breakthrough against one of the world's leading killers.

- Magnetic needles turn somersaults
11-28-2006 · EurekAlert!
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Metals Research in Stuttgart have discovered a new mechanism with which it is possible to use weak magnetic fields to reverse tiny magnetic structures, called vortex cores, quickly and with no losses. Up until now, very strong magnetic fields have been necessary to accomplish this, requiring highly complex technology. The new method might open up new possibilities for magnetic data storage.

- CeRPTA develops new gluten-free bread
12-19-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at the Food Technology Plant Special Research Centre (CeRPTA) have for the first time developed a completely gluten-free bread that is of a much higher quality than products currently available for coeliacs. The product was 100 percent successful in the tests carried out. The resulting product has an increased nutritional value, a longer useful life and a similar texture to traditional bread.

- Delft researchers predict 'nanobattery' performance
04-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Delft University of Technology can predict how nanostructuring -- the extreme reduction of structure -- will affect the performance of Li-ion batteries. The nanostructuring of battery materials is likely to be common practice in the future, but it is not always performance enhancing. The research findings have recently been published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
