Mathematics and climate change
In 1994, University of Utah mathematician Ken Golden went to the Eastern Weddell Sea for the Antarctic Zone Flux Experiment. The sea's surface is normally covered with sea ice, the complex composite material that results when sea water is frozen.    view more (2009-04-13)

Hurricanes, other vortices seize energy via 'hostile takeovers'
For decades, scientists who study hurricanes, whirlpools and other large fluid vortices have puzzled over precisely how these vast swirling masses of gas or liquid sustain themselves.   view more (2006-03-07)

Pulmonary hypertension in children may result from reduced activity of gene regulator
Too little activity by gene regulators called PPARs appears to be a major player in the irreversible lung damage that can occur in children with heart defects, researchers say.   view more (2009-03-06)

Study sheds new light on link between obesity and infertility
Obese women have alterations in their ovaries which might be responsible for an egg's inability to make an embryo, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).   view more (2009-03-03)

Magnetic mixing creates quite a stir
Sandia researchers have developed a process that can mix tiny volumes of liquid, even in complicated spaces.   view more (2009-10-28)

Cerebrospinal fluid used to deliver therapeutics for Lou Gehrig's disease to brain
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego have shown that instead of trying to deliver therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases across the highly impermeable blood-brain barrier via the blood, therapeutic molecules known as antisense oligonucleotides can be delivered to the brain and spinal cord through the cerebrospinal... view more...

Study suggests new therapy for lung disease patients
A new study by researchers at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine may change current thinking about how best to treat patients in respiratory distress in hospital intensive care units.   view more (2008-02-11)

Fighting sound with sound, new modeling technique could quiet aircraft
Newly published research by a Princeton engineer suggests that understanding how air travels across the sunroof of a car may one day make jet engines less noisy.   view more (2006-02-27)

Scientists tackle mystery mountain illness
Experts at the University are studying an illness known as HAPE (high altitude pulmonary oedema), which causes fluid to build up in the lungs can and can occur from as low as 2,500 metres, affecting people of all age groups and fitness levels.   view more (2007-08-22)

Sonohysterography is an Alternative Diagnostic Tool for Women with Adenomyosis Suffering from Dysmenorrhea, Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding and Pelvic Pain
Sonohysterography (SHG), a simple ultrasound technique commonly used to evaluate the uterine cavity, improves the diagnostic capability of transvaginal ultrasound in detecting adenomyosis (a common benign condition of the uterus that causes dysmenorrhea, abnormal vaginal bleeding and pelvic pain), according to a study performed at the Thomas... view more...

NYU physicists make room for oddballs
Here's a question. How many gumballs of different sizes can fit in one of those containers at the mall so as to reward a well-spent quarter? It's hard to believe that most people never consider it even when guessing the number of candies in a bowl at Halloween.   view more (2009-08-04)

Embryonic Stem Cells Thrive When Shaken
Embryos spend much of their time in the womb bobbing along with a mother's movement, and, surprisingly enough, new research from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory University suggests that embryonic stem cells may develop much better under similarly shaky conditions.   view more (2007-09-11)

Protein 'fingerprint' in spinal fluid could spot Alzheimer's disease
Scientists collaborating at Cornell University in Ithaca and Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City have identified a panel of 23 protein biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid that acts as a neurochemical "fingerprint," which doctors might use someday to identify patients living with Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2006-12-12)

You must remember this: Scientists develop nasal spray that improves memory
Good news for procrastinating students: a nasal spray developed by a team of German scientists promises to give late night cram sessions a major boost, if a good night's sleep follows.   view more (2009-10-01)

Scientists at Low Temperature Laboratory planning to model a black hole
Academy Professor Matti Krusius and Antti Finne, M.Sc. (Eng.), were invited to a recent science breakfast, hosted by the Academy of Finland, to talk about their ongoing work to produce a first-ever laboratory simulation of a black hole. A black hole is created as a result of the most extreme concentration of matter. Scientists have been arguing... view more... (2003-04-16)

Novel computer model for blood flow could help doctors predict arterial disease
A unique computer model of how blood flows in human arteries has been developed by researchers in the UK. The model could help doctors understand the stresses that blood places on the walls of vessels and provide new insights into vascular disease. The work has been carried out by Dr Yun Xu together with Dr Simon Thom and Professor Alun Hughes at... view more... (2000-10-19)

Consumption of raw fish raises potential health concerns for consumers
Two case studies from Japan presented at the 72nd Annual Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology point to a potential health problem in the United States, as more Americans consume raw fish in the form of sushi and sashimi. Anisakiasis (round worm) is a human parasitic infection caused by the consumption of raw or undercooked seafood... view more... (2007-10-15)

New tool for helping pediatric heart surgery
A team of researchers at the University of California, San Diego and Stanford University has developed a way to simulate blood flow on the computer to optimize surgical designs.   view more (2009-11-24)

Add nanotubes and stir - with the right force
Polymer scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have some stirring results to share with researchers and companies developing new, advanced composite materials with carbon nanotubes-mix carefully.   view more (2006-07-24)

Biosensor reveals new information about suspected cause of Alzheimer's disease
Chemists and biologists at Northwestern University have found a way to detect and estimate the size and structure of a miniscule toxic protein suspected of triggering Alzheimer's disease.   view more (2005-09-01)
