(PhysOrg.com) -- Missions to space require 'warm' boxes, which protect electronic circuitry from extreme temperatures and exposure to radiation. Electrical engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have designed and successfully tested an electronic micro amplifier that can operate directly in the space environment without protection from a warm box. http://www.physorg.com/news155847462.html Technology Mon, 09 Mar 2009 19:58:43 EST news155847462 (PhysOrg.com) -- A University of Arkansas researcher studying the way caves "breathe" is providing new insights into the process by which scientists study paleoclimates. http://www.physorg.com/news155836786.html Space & Earth Mon, 09 Mar 2009 17:01:02 EST news155836786 (PhysOrg.com) -- Electrical engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have demonstrated that magnetic nanotubes combined with nerve growth factor can enable specific cells to differentiate into neurons. The results from in vitro studies show that magnetic nanotubes may be exploited to treat neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson`s disease and Alzheimer`s disease because they can be used as a delivery vehicle for nerve growth factor. http://www.physorg.com/news151077655.html Nanotechnology Tue, 13 Jan 2009 14:00:55 EST news151077655
