Preventing transformer explosions
Technology used in the crumple zones of cars can avert serious explosions in transformers, believe researchers.

Recently SINTEF and UOP, a leading international supplier of catalysts, installed a test system for controlling the gas and liquid feed for in situ catalyst studies using high-energy synchrotron X-rays at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne...
In the future, you may be able to buy solar cells for your roof from a roll, by the metre.
Ultra-efficient solar cells, based on cheap materials, could be here in a few years.
They damage our ability to reproduce, and they pollute the natural environment. Yet chemicals known as hormone mimics can be found in consumer goods. Eventually they end up in our water. But we now have a way of capturing them.
A new window on the world of atoms will make future vehicles safer in collisions
Microorganisms that live in the depths of an oil reservoir can withstand such extreme conditions they can be used in harsh chemical processes.
Researchers in Trondheim have achieved surprising results by exploiting nature's own ability to clean up after oil spills.
Using nanocapsules containing cancer drugs, researchers have succeeded in attacking tumours with surgical precision. One of the ways to manufacture such capsules is with minute droplets of super glue.
