Oscar Pistorius' artificial limbs give him clear, major advantage for sprint running
The artificial lower limbs of double-amputee Olympic hopeful Oscar Pistorius give him a clear and major advantage over his competition, taking 10 seconds or more off what his 400-meter race time would be if his prosthesis behaved like intact limbs. view more (2009-11-18)
Collision-course science: when a single locust joins a swarm
If an animal is to cope with changing environmental conditions, activity in its nervous system must also change. Scientists from Cambridge and Oxford are studying these changes in collision-detecting nerve cells in the visual system of the locust, an insect that alternates between two lifestyles. Their research, to be presented at the SEB... view more... (2003-03-26)
More market less poverty, but also more sustainable land use?
During empirical research in Benin, Dutch-sponsored researcher Esa√Ře Gandonou demonstrated that farmers in underdeveloped parts of developing countries make little extra effort to control soil erosion if the market to which they sell their products becomes more accessible. view more (2006-02-16)
New insight into how bees see
New research from Monash University bee researcher Adrian Dyer could lead to improved artificial intelligence systems and computer programs for facial recognition. view more (2009-01-23)
An artificial cornea is in sight, thanks to biomimetic hydrogels
If eyes are "the windows of the soul," corneas are the panes in those windows. They shield the eye from dust and germs. They also act as the eye's outermost lens, contributing up to 75 percent of the eye's focusing power. view more (2006-09-12)
Future for clean energy lies in 'big bang' of evolution
Amid mounting agreement that future clean, "carbon-neutral", energy will rely on efficient conversion of the sun's light energy into fuels and electric power, attention is focusing on one of the most ancient groups of organism, the cyanobacteria. view more (2008-08-25)
A "techno-leg" saves pedestrians
Last year, "only" just under 7,000 road fatalities were recorded in Germany, representing an average of 19 a day. This is the lowest figure since 1953, and no doubt mainly attributable to more and more cars equipped with airbags and ABS. Nevertheless, safety engineers do not see this progress as any reason for complacency. A new EU... view more... (2002-06-26)
First live rhinoceros birth from frozen-thawed semen
There may be less than 20,000 rhinoceros in the world, with one species perhaps already extinct and another with possibly only four animals remaining in the wild. view more (2008-11-13)
Biophysical method may help to recover hearing
Scientists based in Switzerland and South Africa have created a biophysical methodology that may help to overcome hearing deficits, and potentially remedy even substantial hearing loss. The authors propose a method of retuning functioning regions of the ear to recognize frequencies originally associated with damaged areas. Details are published... view more... (2008-08-29)
Cobweb Instead Of Nicotine
The cobweb consisting of fibrillar proteins is an extremely strong and elastic material. Researchers are seeking ways to produce cobweb in industrial quantity. As it is a priority trend of biotechnology, experiments by Russian researchers in this area have been funded through the Ministry of Industry, Science and Technology of the Russian... view more...

Engineers develop way of detecting problems with artificial hip joints
A more efficient way of detecting loosened artificial hip implants, which affect thousands of people every year, has been developed. view more (2007-08-03)
Genetic engineering of plants: nature was first
Queen Mary and Westfield College scientists studying resistance to infection in plants have discovered by chance that a natural form of genetic engineering has already brought foreign genes into their genetic make-up. view more (1998-09-01)
New Method Developed by UC San Diego Bioengineers Gives Regenerative Medicine a Boost
Bioengineers at UC San Diego have developed a breakthrough method for sequencing-based methylation profiling, which could help fuel personalized regenerative medicine and even lead to more efficient and cost-effective methods for studying certain diseases. view more (2009-04-24)
Artificial light at night stimulates breast cancer growth in laboratory mice
Results from a new study in laboratory mice show that nighttime exposure to artificial light stimulated the growth of human breast tumors by suppressing the levels of a key hormone called melatonin. view more (2005-12-20)
Jabberwock Scoops Artificial Intelligence Prize
On his 47th birthday, Juergen Pirner, head of Abenteuer Medien Verlag, a Hamburg-based magazine publishing house, won this year's Loebner Prize Contest, hosted by the Digital World Research Centre at the University of Surrey on 18 October 2003. 'Jabberwock', in Juergen's view is the proof that any fan of fantasy and sci-fi stories and games who... view more... (2003-10-21)
Secrets of the Sea Yield Stronger Artificial Bone
The next generation of artificial bone may rely on a few secrets from the sea. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have harnessed the way seawater freezes to develop a porous, scaffolding-like material that is four times stronger than material currently used in synthetic bone. view more (2006-02-01)
Surface tension drives segregation within cell mixtures
What does a mixture of two different kinds of cells have in common with a mixture of oil and water? The same basic force causes both mixtures to separate into two distinct regions. view more (2008-10-07)
UGA researchers propose model for disorders caused by improper transmission of chromosomes
Parents of healthy newborns often remark on the miracle of life. The joining of egg and sperm to create such delightful creatures can seem dazzlingly beautiful if the chromosome information from each parent has been translated properly into the embryo and newborn. view more (2009-08-17)
Consciousness - the hardest problem in science
A Surrey scientist claims to have an answer to what is often considered to be the hardest problem in science (sometimes just known as the "Hard Problem"): why we are aware. Johnjoe McFadden, Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Surrey, has previously proposed that consciousness is generated by the brain's electromagnetic... view more... (2002-09-05)
Liquid ventilation
The main problem that premature babies have is that their lungs are not well formed. In order to alleviate this situation, the Nautical School at the University of the Basque Country has developed a liquid respiration respirator. view more (2006-03-29)
