Southern California wildfires pose health risks to children
In October of 2003, multiple wildfires raged throughout Southern California. Now, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) report that residents without asthma in wildfire-endangered regions suffered as much as those with asthma. view more (2006-12-01)
X-ray Laser Cooperation within the scope of the TESLA-Project, DESY and SLAC signed agreement in Washington
With the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding on November 1, in Washington, both major accelerator centers-DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron) in Hamburg, Germany, and SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) in California, USA-set the seal on their intention to start a close collaboration in X-ray laser research and to make joint... view more...

New research reveals hidden earthquake trouble spots
A team from the University of Leicester has used a powerful laser mounted on an aircraft to uncover earthquake fault lines that are hidden by forest cover and never before seen by earth scientists. view more (2006-11-08)
Virtual duck bills demonstrate species coexistence
Ecologists continue to debate how different species manage to coexist. If two species use identical resources, such as food, invariably one will be more efficient and out-compete the other. The classical explanation is that each species has evolved morphological or physiological traits that allow it to exploit some resources more efficiently than... view more... (2007-02-28)
Researchers find new mechanism governing particle growth in nanocomposites
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles. view more (2005-09-01)
New NSF aircraft to probe hazardous atmospheric whirlwinds
Today, the nation's most-advanced research aircraft will take flight on its first science mission. Scientists aboard will study a severe type of atmospheric turbulence that forms near mountains and endangers planes flying in the vicinity. view more (2006-03-07)
A tiny, tunable well of light, and a string theorist's toolbox
Photonics, the science of using photons to carry information, promises to continue improving a wide variety of technologies, from computing to high-speed communication. view more (2009-09-21)
Boston physicists celebrate first beam for Large Hadron Collider
Scientists today sent the first beam of protons zooming at nearly the speed of light around the 17-mile Large Hadron Collider. The LHC, located at the CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, is the world's most powerful particle accelerator. view more (2008-09-10)
LHC completes the circle
At a brief ceremony deep under the French countryside today, CERN Director General Robert Aymar sealed the last interconnect between the main magnet systems in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This is the latest milestone in commissioning the LHC, the world's most powerful particle accelerator. view more (2007-11-08)
UK grid helps fight avian flu
During April, computers in the UK have been working overtime in the fight against avian flu. As part of an international collaboration, computers at eleven UK universities and research labs have put in one hundred thousand hours of time searching for possible drug components against the avian flu virus H5N1. view more (2006-05-04)
Microfluidics and optical trapping integrated for the first time in new lab-on-a-chip research
Researchers at Cornell University for the first time have integrated optical functions with microfluidic ones, enabling the sorting of particles by light. view more (2007-10-26)
NASA keeps eye on ozone layer amid Montreal Protocol's success
NASA scientists will join researchers from around the world to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Montreal Protocol, an international treaty designed to reduce the hole in Earth's protective ozone layer. view more (2007-09-14)
Virginia Tech engineer investigates enzyme link to neurological disease
Several neurologically based afflictions, such as Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer diseases, have been correlated to a higher than normal presence of a specific type of enzymes, called transglutaminases (TGase) in the human body. view more (2005-08-31)
Physicists: After 30 years of study, rare particle confirms prediction
High-energy physicists devoted to recreating the conditions at the beginning of the universe have for the first time observed a new way to produce those basic particles of atoms, protons and neutrons. view more (2008-03-11)
HRCT Reveals Asthmatic Risk Long After Cat Allergen Exposure
For the first time, researchers have shown that cat allergens can impair lung function in people with asthma for up to 22 hours after exposure. The study was presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2005-11-30)
Worldwide Consensus of Particle Physicists: Superconductivity for Future Particle Accelerator Project ILC
Today, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced at a scientific conference in Beijing that the planned International Linear Collider (ILC) is to be realized in superconducting technology. This decision is of great importance for DESY and its international partners, since they developed this technology together and... view more... (2004-08-20)
NIST/University Team Records Rare Glimpses of Light from Neutrons
Researchers from the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and four universities have made the first experimental observation of rare particles of light emitted during the radioactive decay of the neutron, a key building block of matter. view more (2006-12-21)
Research Fortnight 13 February issue: stories on farming and horticulture, QinetiQ and MoD, the RAE in Wales, and PPARC`s cuts
Farming review avoids issue of research funding The Commission on the Future of Farming and Food has recommended structural reforms for research, but failed to back the call with a request for extra funding. This has disappointed research leaders, who were looking to this high-profile review to help boost resources. On research it advises the... view more... (2002-02-13)
NYU researchers decorate virus particles, showing potential to enhance MRI capabilities
Researchers at New York University have made chemical modifications to nanometer sized virus particles—a process that has the potential to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. Their results are reported in the latest issue of Nano Letters. view more (2006-06-14)
New treatment option breaks Leukemia's resistance to chemotherapy, radiation therapy
German researchers set out to outwit cancer tumor cells that have become resistant to chemotherapy or radiation therapy and ended up expanding therapeutic applications of radionuclides in fighting leukemia. view more (2006-06-05)
