John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... UCLA Engineers Pioneer Affordable Alternative Energy: Solar Energy Cel
With oil and gas prices in the United States hovering at an all-time high, interest in renewable energy alternatives is again heating up. Researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science hope to meet the growing demand with a new and more affordable way to harness the sun's rays: using solar cell panels made out of everyday plastics.

Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. Tremors between slip events: More evidence of great quake danger to Se
Scientists have discovered more small seismic tremor events lasting one to 70 hours that occur in somewhat regular patterns in a megathrust earthquake zone in Washington state and British Columbia. Theoretical Modeling Brings New Understanding Of Self-Assembly Of 'Cel
Researchers at Canada's National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT) are learning which molecular scale factors affect the assembly and disassembly of microtubules that are part of a cell's skeleton. Microtubules control the division of all cells with a nucleus by constantly assembling at one end while they disassemble at the other. Failure in either of these processes can lead to abnormal cell division causing improper development of an organism, incomplete differentiation of a tissue, or uncontrolled cell division, as in cancer. Controversial kidney transplant technique could provide lifeline for v
Surgeons have developed a controversial technique that could offer a vital lifeline to patients with end-stage renal disease, as well as increasing the supply of viable organs. They have successfully performed kidney transplants after removing small cancerous and benign masses from the donated organs. Patient follow-ups are very promising, say the US team. New Oxidation Methods Streamline Synthesis Of Important Compounds
One of the fundamental challenges facing organic synthesis in the 21st century is the need to significantly increase the efficiency with which carbon frameworks can be constructed and functionalized. Chemists are helping to meet this challenge by developing a class of carbon-hydrogen catalysts that are highly selective, reactive and tolerant of other functionality. Benefits of osteoporosis treatments outweigh possible risk of rare fem
The occurrence of an unusual type of fracture of the femur, or the thigh bone, is very low in patients with osteoporosis, including those treated with the drug family known as bisphosphonates, according to a new study. Effects Of Pediatric Brain Tumors And Their Treatment Haunt Survivors
Children who survive brain cancer struggle for years with the malevolent echo of the disease and its treatment, according to a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. Nearly one-third of former brain tumor patients require special education services, and many suffer from chronic headaches, nausea and seizures. Only about half of those old enough to drive do so. Sandia Researchers Develop Contaminant Warning Program For EPA To Moni
Sandia researchers are working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, University of Cincinnati and Argonne National Laboratory to develop contaminant warning systems that can monitor municipal water systems to determine quickly when and where a contamination occurs.
