New Study Identifies Louse-Borne Diseases That Ravaged Napoleon's Army
Napoleon marched into Russia in the summer of 1812 with a half-million soldiers. Only a few thousand staggered out again, victims of war, weather, and disease.   view more (2005-12-15)

Prelude to an Earthquake?
A geophysicist from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has identified possible seismic precursors to two recent California earthquakes, including the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that wreaked havoc throughout the Bay Area.   view more (2005-12-12)

San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth reveals new insights into the 'earthquake machine'
The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD)-the first underground observatory to provide physical samples and real-time seismological data from deep inside an active fault zone-is yielding surprising new clues about the origin of earthquakes.   view more (2005-12-06)

Huge tsunami spurred progress, revealed needs
The catastrophic tsunami that struck Indonesia and East Asia almost a year ago has done much to heighten the interest, research programs and preparations in the United States for events of this type, but experts say there are areas that need more attention and challenges yet to be met.   view more (2005-12-05)

Earthquake 'pulses' could predict tsunami impact
The magnitude 9.2 earthquake that triggered a devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean in December of 2004 originated just off the coast of northern Sumatra, but an "energy pulse" - an area where slip on the fault was much greater - created the largest waves, some 100 miles from the... view more (2005-12-05)

Iron particles and MRI could replace biopsies to track stem cell therapy and deploy stents
In a series of experiments in animals, researchers at Johns Hopkins have successfully used a technique that tracks mesenchymal stem cells via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to monitor the progress of the cells in repairing tissue scarred by heart attack.   view more (2005-12-05)

No safe ground for life to stand on during world's largest mass extinction
The world's largest mass extinction was probably caused by poisonous volcanic gas, according to research published today.   view more (2005-12-02)

MIT researcher presents new view of how the cortex forms
A leading neuroscientist at MIT and one from the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) report in the Nov. 4 special issue of Science dedicated to the brain that the controversy is over: The "protomap" and "protocortex" theories of brain development are dead.   view more (2005-11-14)

Solving the mystery of the Tibetan Plateau
A University of Alberta physicist who helped solve the age-old mystery of what keeps afloat the highest plateau on earth has added more pieces to the Tibetan puzzle. Dr. Martyn Unsworth has uncovered new research about the Tibetan Plateau-an immense region that for years has plagued scientists... view more (2005-11-04)

Travelers can avoid jet lag by resetting their body clocks
A simple, at-home treatment - a single light box and the over-the-counter drug melatonin - allows travelers to avoid jet lag by resetting their circadian body clock before crossing several time zones.   view more (2005-11-02)

Picky female frogs drive evolution of new species in less than 8,000 years
Picky female frogs in a tiny rainforest outpost of Australia have driven the evolution of a new species in 8,000 years or less, according to scientists from the University of Queensland, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service.   view more (2005-10-31)

Eastern California shear zone puzzles seismologists
Residents and seismologists in Northern California focus on the San Andreas Fault, but a Penn State researcher thinks more questions should be asked about the Eastern California Shear Zone, a fault that ends or dissipates without a clear connection.   view more (2005-10-18)

Coastal retreat in face of rising sea levels found to be influenced by wildfires
The retreat of coastlines due to rising sea levels may be accelerated by wildfires, a Duke University researcher has discovered.   view more (2005-10-18)

Geologist urges seismic shift in process for selecting EarthScope study sites

CryoSat Mission lost due to launch failure
Mr Yuri Bakhvalov, First Deputy Director General of the Khrunichev Space Centre on behalf of the Russian State Commission officially confirmed that the launch of CryoSat ended in a failure due to an anomaly in the launch sequence and expressed his regret to ESA and all partners involved.   view more (2005-10-11)

Simulations predict savings from more airtight buildings
U.S. commercial building owners could save substantially on annual heating and cooling energy costs by improving airtightness of their buildings' envelope, according to a recent National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) study.   view more (2005-10-10)

Duke scientists explain gaps in nutrient availability within North Atlantic
Duke University oceanographers have developed an explanation for why a vast North Atlantic circulation zone can have a large variability in nutrient supplies needed to sustain ocean plants and, by extension, support the food web of marine life.   view more (2005-09-29)

Bleach Found to Neutralize Mold Allergens
Researchers at National Jewish Medical and Research Center have demonstrated that dilute bleach not only kills common household mold, but may also neutralize the mold allergens that cause most mold-related health complaints.   view more (2005-09-26)

Dusty old star offers window to our future, astronomers report
Astronomers have glimpsed dusty debris around an essentially dead star where gravity and radiation should have long ago removed any sign of dust - a discovery that may provide insights into our own solar system's eventual demise several billion years from now.   view more (2005-09-09)

When cave crickets go out for dinner, they really go, researchers say
Cave crickets travel farther from their homes to forage - by about double - than their previously reported range, researchers have discovered.   view more (2005-09-08)
