Washington, March 7 : In a new research, chemists at the University of Connecticut, US, have found a way to greatly increase the luminescence efficiency of single-walled carbon nanotubes by 20 percent, a discovery that could have significant applications in medical imaging and other areas.
The research was performed in the Nanomaterials Optoelectronics Laboratory at the Institute of Materials Science at the University of Connecticut, in Storrs.
Washington, March 7: The problem of email overload in busy organizations and companies can be solved with the aid of a new computer model, say two Indian-origin researchers.
Ashish Gupta at Minnesota State University Moorhead, and Ramesh Sharda at Oklahoma State University, Stillwater, have described the model called Simulator for Interruptions and Message Overload in Network Environments (SIMONE) in the International Journal of Simulation and Process Modelling.
Vienna - The atomic bombing of Japan and South Africa's past nuclear weapons programme were brought into play Wednesday as diplomats from these two countries entered the last heat to be elected leader of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

The legislation was adopted 96 to 56 while 47 parliamentarians were absent at the final reading of the bill.
The so-called data protection law does not allow employers to read e-mails, but e-mails and the size of attachments can be tracked on suspicion of corporate espionage.
New Delhi, Mar 4 : The second phase of weapon testing on Tejas, India’s indigenous Light Combat Aircraft (LCA), is currently underway from an Air Force base in the north-western sector.
The focus of the current phase of two-week testing is safe separation and also accuracy of weapon delivery, a Defence Research and Development Organisation statement said.
The results from the tests would validate aerodynamic interference data as well as complex weapon release algorithms in different modes of release, it said.
Washington, March 4 : NASA and Cisco Inc. have announced a partnership to develop an online collaborative global monitoring platform called the “Planetary Skin” to capture, collect, analyze and report data on environmental conditions around the world.
Under the terms of a Space Act Agreement, NASA and Cisco will work together to develop the Planetary Skin as an online collaborative platform to capture and analyze data from satellite, airborne, sea- and land-based sensors across the globe.
