People consume sugar, chocolate, coffee and tea; many smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol; and to a lesser extent, use drugs derived from opium poppies, coca leaves, and hemp. An Anthropology Prof says that the near universal availability of these drugs is a relatively recent phenomenon, that can be traced to European expansion.
Hazards of housecleaning: A scientist's investigation into indoor air pollution shows how simple activities such as dusting and vacuuming generate or resuspend pollutants into the air we breathe and how this exposure may adversely affect our health.
A scientist's computer model allows governments and oil companies to predict where "slicks" will form after a spill. Getting cleanup crews quickly to the right place can lessen environmental damage and lower clean-up costs.
Igor Sokolov, assistant physics and chemistry prof., has discovered that human skin becomes leathery with age due to a loss of elasticity in epithelial cells. This could yield potential treatments for some age-related diseases, including hardening of the arteries, joint stiffness, etc.
More than 600 scientists from around the world will present colloid and surface research findings at the 79th annual ACS colloid and surface science symposium at Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY June 12 - 15.
Clarkson University Physics Professor Igor Sokolov and his team have discovered a method of making the brightest ever synthesized fluorescent silica particles. These nanostructured macroscopic silica particles have potential applications in medicine, forensic science and environmental protection, among many other uses. Sokolov's research is published in the March 5 issue of the scientific journal Small.
Clarkson University researchers have developed technology that uses vibrations caused by traffic to power wireless bridge monitor sensors. It is unwieldy to provide batteries for normal wireless sensors that monitor bridges for failure. The Clarkson researchers have found a way around this problem.
Clarkson University researchers have discovered a new method of protecting teeth from cavities by ultrafine polishing with silica nanoparticles.
A group of Clarkson University researchers has discovered a previously unknown feature that distinguishes cancer from normal cells. They have identified a critical difference between the surface properties of normal and cancer cells: variation in brushes or tiny "hairs" that cover the cell surface.
Clarkson University researchers have developed a novel method of detection of cervical cancer cells using nonspecific adhesion of silica beads to cells.
