Allergy experts at the University of Cambridge have convincing evidence that a new treatment for peanut allergies is effective, following a three-year trial. The trial, from the group of Dr Pamela Ewan of the Department of Medicine and conducted at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, involved a careful regime of feeding chocolate containing peanut flour in gradually increasing …
1. The U.S. Air Force has called for work on a “prompt global strike” capability to focus on development of a hypersonic glider to be fired from a heavy bomber, not from rocket boosters as previously planned. The Air Force is eying the Mach-20 Falcon Hypersonic Test Vehicle as the basis for the new strike …
1. A study by Edinburgh University scientists found when the body succumbs to a viral infection a hormone in the immune system lowers cholesterol. It may be possible to use cholesterol lowering drugs to also boost the immune system. A new treatment could help overcome the problems associated with antibiotic resistance, as it enhances the …
Intel Corporation today announced plans to invest more than $5 billion to build a new chip manufacturing facility at its site in Chandler, Ariz. The announcement was made by Intel President and CEO Paul Otellini during a visit by President Barack Obama at an Intel facility in Hillsboro, Ore. The new Arizona factory, designated Fab …
Schematic comparison between algal biomass and direct photosynthetic processes. The direct process, developed by Joule and called Helioculture™, combines an engineered cyanobacterial organism supplemented with a product pathway and secretion system to produce and secrete a fungible alkane diesel product continuously in a SolarConverter™ designed to efficiently and economically collect and convert photonic energy. The …
Previously we had looked at nuclear power generation in Russia, Ukraine and India up to about October, 2010 Russian nuclear power in 2010 produced 169.97 billion kWh, which is 4.2% more than the amount of electricity generated in 2009. Russia generated 152.8 billion kWh in 2009. The 2010 number is 17.2 billion kWh more than …
Cornell researchers have discovered that carbon nanotubes can transmit and receive light at the nanoscale. Carbon nanotubes, cylindrical rolled-up sheets of carbon atoms, might one day make ideal optical scattering wires — tiny, mostly invisible antennae with the ability to control, absorb and emit certain colors of light at the nanoscale. The researchers used the …
Ad Support : Nano Technology Netbook Technology News Computer Software The Imperial college of London has proposed the first experiment that will test predictions of quantum entanglement based on string theory. String theory was originally developed to describe the fundamental particles and forces that make up our universe. The new research, led by a team from …
