Chemists look through glass to find secrets that are less clear
A new understanding of how glass is formed may assist with our understanding of everything from the design of golf club heads to the structure of the early universe.   view more (2006-06-07)

Mirror Measures Vortex Drag
Airplanes generate trailing wake vortices which can be dangerous for following aircraft, especially on takeoff and landing. An onboard laser measuring device scans the air space in front of the plane, recognizes turbulence and will inform the pilot. The volume of air traffic is constantly rising -... view more (2004-07-08)

Structure of the yellow rice mottle virus determined for the first time
Scientists from IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement, ex-ORSTOM), the Scripps Research Institute and the International Laboratory for Tropical Agricultural technology (ILTAB) have succeeded, after several years of research, in reconstructing a three-dimensional model of the rice... view more (2001-01-26)

Molecular Anatomy of Influenza Virus Detailed
Scientists at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Md., and colleagues at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville have succeeded in imaging, in unprecedented detail, the virus that causes... view more (2007-01-02)

Penn physicists track the random walks of ellipsoids, test 'lost' theory of Brownian motion
Research carried out at the University of Pennsylvania has definitively measured and described the Brownian motion of an isolated ellipsoidal particle, completing a path laid out by Einstein 100 years ago when he first described rotational Brownian motion for spheres in water.   view more (2006-10-27)

Cleaner diesels thanks to laser light
Measuring soot formation in a diesel engine is far from easy. Due to the turbulent environment in the combustion cylinder, no two combustion cycles are the same.   view more (2007-12-10)

Will buffer zones stop genes spreading to nearby crops?

Predicting an answer to the threat of flooding
The latest advances in computer flood modeling and animation that could help to improve the way we protect the UK's towns and cities from flooding will be highlighted at this year's BA Festival of Science in Norwich.   view more (2006-09-08)

New developments in assessing fluid flows
Scientists at Oxford University are developing a new Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) technique that will enable three-dimensional fluid velocity fields to be imaged reliably and accurately. Over the last twenty years, a number of techniques have been explored to enable clear imaging of fluid... view more (2002-07-03)

Soot from wood stoves in developing world impacts global warming more than expected
New measurements of soot produced by traditional cook stoves used in developing countries suggest that these stoves emit more harmful smoke particles and could have a much greater impact on global climate change than previously thought.   view more (2006-10-25)

Catching a Glimpse of a Black Hole's Fury
Using the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) and a host of international telescope partners, a team of researchers has made the clearest observation yet of innermost region of a black hole.   view more (2008-04-24)

Atmosphere and Oceans Finely Balanced
The atmosphere and oceans exist in a delicate state of balance according to research co-ordinated by the University of East Anglia (UEA) and published this month by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).   view more (2002-01-24)

EU Support for Two Projects Coordinated by DESY
The European Commission selected two projects coordinated by the DESY research center in Hamburg for support within its sixth Framework Programme. Among all the competitors for the much-coveted development funds, the projects "EUROFEL" and "EUROTeV" were ranked first and second,... view more (2004-08-04)

Men who paint for a living may be placing their unborn children at increased risk of birth defects and low birth weight.   view more (2006-09-28)

Research pinpoints West Nile virus antibody binding site
Researchers have learned the precise location where an antibody binds to the West Nile virus, and they have suggested a mechanism for how this antibody neutralizes the virus to prevent infection.   view more (2006-08-15)

Flights reveal intriguing information about ice particles in clouds
In the clouds above Darwin, Australia, pilots guided by a team of international climate scientists are now one week into a series of carefully orchestrated flights to obtain key in situ data about tropical clouds.   view more (2006-02-06)

Worldwide atmospheric measurements will determine the role of atmospheric fine particles
The Finnish Meteorological Institute in Helsinki, Finland, will host the first annual meeting of the European Integrated Project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality Interactions, EUCAARI, headed by Academy Professor Markku Kulmala, on 19-22 November 2007.   view more (2007-11-16)

New magnetic herding technique proposed to manipulate the very small
Engineers have introduced a new magnetic shepherding approach for deftly moving or positioning the kinds of tiny floating objects found within organisms, in order to advance potential applications in fields ranging from medicine to nanotechnology.   view more (2005-06-21)

ESA takes steps toward quantum communications
A team of European scientists has proved within an ESA study that the weird quantum effect called 'entanglement' remains intact over a distance of 144 kilometres.   view more (2007-06-13)

Nanoparticles unlock the future of superalloy metals
Sandia National Laboratories is pioneering the future of superalloy materials by advancing the science behind how those superalloys are made.   view more (2007-06-14)

ASIRAS, a new ESA airborne instrument sees ice for the first time
Making sure that the measurements made by satellites are as accurate as possible has always been a difficult business and this will be especially true for ESA's ice mission CryoSat. However, last week a new instrument, which is set to be the workhorse for validating CryoSat data, was successfully... view more (2004-04-08)

Invitation to the Media - String virtuosos gather in Oxford - 1st International Conference on String Phenomenology
Next week the University of Oxford is hosting a meeting of string experts - not in this case well-known musicians, but internationally renowned scientists. The meeting will bring together physicists who are striving to develop a consistent theory of the nature of matter - in other words, the basic... view more (2002-07-03)

Academy's Whittle Medal awarded for engineering the practice of sustainable development
The Sir Frank Whittle Medal for 2003 under the theme, 'for outstanding and sustained achievement by an engineer who has contributed to the well being of the nation', has been awarded to Professor Roland Clift OBE FREng, Distinguished Professor of Environmental Technology and Director, Centre for... view more (2003-06-02)

Thawing permafrost increases greenhouse gas emission from subarctic mires
The permafrost in the mires of subarctic Sweden is undergoing dramatic changes. The part of the soils that thaws in the summer, the so-called active layer, has become deeper since 1970 and the permafrost has disappeared altogether in some locations. This has lead to significant changes in the... view more (2004-02-24)

A twist in the tail - Leeds researchers show how sperm wriggle.
In a discovery with far-reaching potential for advances in infertility treatment, scientists at the University of Leeds have identified what makes sperm wriggle and swim. The answer lies in a protein called dynein. The scientists have taken the first photographs of individual molecules of dynein,... view more (2003-02-11)
