Tracking a hot spot
Using a state-of-the-art satellite imagery technique, researchers are able to more precisely predict volcanic activity, bringing them steps closer to understanding where an eruption may occur. view more (2007-05-18)
NASA's Chandra sees brightest supernova ever
The brightest stellar explosion ever recorded may be a long-sought new type of supernova, according to observations by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ground-based optical telescopes. view more (2007-05-08)
Bucky's brother -- The boron buckyball makes its debut
A new study by Rice University scientists predicts the existence and stability of another "buckyball" consisting entirely of boron atoms. view more (2007-04-24)
Why some aphids can't stand the heat
For pea aphids, the ability to go forth and multiply can depend on a single gene, according to new research. view more (2007-04-20)
New method predicts hip joint decay from chemotherapy
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital say they have found the best way for predicting when patients will need future surgery to repair hip joints that have deteriorated because of pediatric leukemia or lymphoma treatment. view more (2007-04-20)
Study of coastal disasters yields surprising findings, arresting images
Two of the world's worst natural disasters in recent years stemmed from different causes on opposite sides of the globe, but actually had much in common, according to researchers who are part of a large National Science Foundation-funded research initiative that has been studying both the Indian Ocean Tsunami of 2004 and the Hurricane Katrina of... view more...

RNA splicing factor implicated in ovarian tumor cell growth
An RNA-binding protein that is overproduced in ovarian cancer may present a new target for diagnosis or treatment of ovarian and other cancers, according to researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago. view more (2007-04-10)
Your mom was wrong: Horseplay is an important part of development
Playground roughhousing has long been a tradition of children and adolescents, much to the chagrin of several generations of parents who worry that their child will be hurt or worse, become accustom to violence and aggression. But animal research may paint a different portrait of rough and tumble play; one that suggests that social and emotional... view more... (2007-03-20)
Study: Chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth better for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
A study published March 17, 2007 in The Lancet, one of the world's foremost medical journals, finds that the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting are almost twice as high if bystanders perform chest-compression-only resuscitation instead of traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with mouth-to-mouth breathing. view more (2007-03-16)
Northwest Atlantic Ocean ecosystems experiencing large climate-related changes
Ecosystems along the continental shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean—from the Labrador Sea south of Greenland all the way to North Carolina—are experiencing large, rapid changes, report oceanographers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the Feb. 23, 2007, issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-02-26)
Female Antarctic seals give cold shoulder to local males
Female Antarctic fur seals will travel across a colony to actively seek males which are genetically diverse and unrelated, rather than mate with local dominant males. view more (2007-02-08)
Huddling and a drop in metabolism allow penguins to survive the South Pole cold
March of the Penguins, the Oscar® winning documentary, showed how the emperor penguins endure their incubation and fast for four dark and bitterly cold months each year. The tight huddling among these South Pole penguins is a key energy-saving mechanism that allows them to endure their extremely harsh conditions. view more (2007-02-01)
Bumblebee house warming — it takes a village
Researchers have known that a key to the insects' success in adapting to cooler climates is their ability to maintain fairly stable body temperatures when flying to flowers. view more (2007-01-19)
Reef Sharks Threatened by Overfishing
A study by Australian scientists has warned that coral reef shark populations on the Great Barrier Reef are in the midst of a catastrophic collapse. view more (2006-12-06)
Invasive Ants Territorial When Neighbors Are Not Kin
A study led by UC San Diego biologists shows that invasive Argentine ants appear to use genetic differences to distinguish friend from foe, a finding that helps to explain why these ants form enormous colonies in California. view more (2006-12-04)
Accelerating loss of ocean species threatens human well-being
An international group of ecologists and economists has shown that the loss of biodiversity is profoundly reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter pollutants and rebound from stresses such as overfishing and climate change. view more (2006-11-07)
Researchers writing story of the 'alcoholic lung'
Chronic alcohol abuse disrupts the proteins that keep fluids out of the lung, lowers a protective antioxidant, disrupts immune defenses and can lead to a condition known as 'alcoholic lung,' according to research to be presented at the conference, "Physiological Genomics and Proteomics of Lung Disease." view more (2006-11-03)
Commercial fishing causes dangerous fluctuations in fish populations
Commercial fishing causes serious fluctuations in fish populations leaving them in danger of total collapse, says new research published today. view more (2006-10-19)
Long-term ocean data confirm fishing puts species in 'double jeopardy'
For the first time, research has shown that fishing can promote boom and bust swings in supplies of targeted fish stocks. view more (2006-10-19)
Brain protein improves stroke symptoms in rats, even when injected after 3 days
A protein naturally occurring in the brain improves recovery from stroke when injected up to three days after the onset of the stroke, and could be used as an effective stroke drug. view more (2006-10-18)
