Green diesel: New process makes liquid transportation fuel from plants
University of Wisconsin-Madison College of Engineering researchers have discovered a new way to make a diesel-like liquid fuel from carbohydrates commonly found in plants. Reporting in the June 3 issue of the Journal Science, Steenbock Professor James Dumesic and colleagues detail a four-phase catalytic reactor in which corn and other biomass-derived carbohydrates can be converted to sulfu...Liquid crystals show promise in controlling embryonic stem cells
Liquid crystals, the same phase-shifting materials used to display information on cell phones, monitors and other electronic equipment, can also be used to report in real time on the differentiation of embryonic stem cells. Differentiation is the process by which embryonic stem cells gradually turn into function-specific types of adult cells or so-called "cell lineages," including skin, h...GIBCO AmnioMAX-C100 Basal Medium liquid from Invitrogen

As the demand for greater throughput of plate processing has grown, automated liquid handling has become a nece...Liquid Drano for Your Arteries
A new study shows infusing heart attack patients with high density lipoprotein may reverse years of heart disease damage.// Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic injected patients with a laboratory-produced version of HDL, or good cholesterol, which naturally removes fatty buildups from arteries. Thirty-six patients received doses of HDL, and 11 patients who served as a control group r...Liquid Respiration Respirator For Premature Babies
Breathing is the most important and natural activity we carry on in order to live. Before birth it is done through the placenta, and after with the Lungs. // Normally the lungs of the foetus are filled with amniotic liquid and, at birth, the first cry activates this respiration surface. But the main problem with premature babies is that their lungs are not well formed. Moreover, they often lack s...Clinical Trial Shows Liquid Eggs Enriched with Omega-3 Deliver Heart Health Benefits
Eating omega-3 enriched liquid eggs can improve blood triglyceride levels, boost heart health, and help families reach their daily recommended intake of omega-3, according// to the results of a clinical trial published this month in Food Research International. The trial – conducted by University of Guelph researchers Emily L. Rose and Bruce J. Holub – showed that a breakfast consisti...Scientists Develop Liquid Body Armour
Shear-thickening fluids - which increase in stiffness when zapped with a vibrating force - could be useful for making better body armour, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have said. The idea is to fill an armoured vest or helmet with shear-thickening liquid and surround it with an array of piezoelectric transducers, they say. Normally, the...An Inconvenient Truth-Coal to Liquid
From Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" to heated Congressional debates about federal tax incentives for new alternative fuels, the issue of coal's place in supplying America's energy and fuel needs has taken on added importance in recent months. A research institute at the University of Kentucky, though, has been exploring ways to increase the efficiency of converting coal to liqui...Urea Nitrogen (BUN) Liquid Reagent
