Changing the rings: a key finding for magnetics design
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) have done the first theoretical determination of the dominant damping mechanism that settles down excited magnetic states-"ringing" in physics parlance-in some key metals. view more (2007-08-06)
Learning a second language -- Is it all in your head?
Think you haven't got the aptitude to learn a foreign language? New research led by Northwestern University neuroscientists suggests that the problem, quite literally, could be in your head. view more (2007-07-26)
First evidence that musical training affects brain development in young children
Researchers have found the first evidence that young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year compared to children who do not receive musical training. view more (2006-09-20)
Novel laboratory model reveals clues to how blood starts clotting
Researchers at the University of Chicago have crafted a simple model for predicting when and where hemostasis - the technical term for blood clotting - will occur. view more (2006-10-27)
Dry season brings on measles in sub-Saharan Africa
Measles epidemics in Niger fluctuate wildly from one season to another but the timing of the outbreaks always coincides with the end of the annual rainy season, according to an international team of researchers. view more (2008-02-07)
The automobile of the future on the way
ROBOTIKER-TECNALIA Technological Centre is currently developing the project known as TANGER (Technologies for New Generation Automobiles). These technologies will integrate novel and innovative solutions into new automotive products centred at the point of driving. Within its strategy of product and processes design and development,... view more... (2005-01-19)
Looking beyond biodiversity to explain community invasibility
Most existing experimental and theoretical studies suggest that diversity is an effective barrier to plant invasion. However, these studies may be limited in their generality, because they involve relatively small numbers of species or examine only short time periods. To evaluate how invasions are controlled in more realistic situations, Meiners,... view more... (2004-02-05)
Cultures of Consumption
The AHRB and ESRC are co-funding a major multi-disciplinary research programme on Cultures of Consumption. This five year programme aims to deepen our understanding of consumption and consumers by exploring the dynamics of consumer cultures, past and present, and by highlighting political, economic and cultural implications for the future. The... view more... (2003-06-13)
The meiotic histone code
Dr. Terry Orr-Weaver and colleagues (MIT & Nagasaki University School of Medicine) present the first genetic analysis of the recently identified nucleosomal histone kinase, NHK-1. view more (2005-10-17)
A better understanding of equatorial Atlantic deep currents
One of the main components of the Atlantic's water-mass circulation is a cold water flow (at 4°C on average) -the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW)- which is conveyed at depth (between 1500 and 4000 m), sweeping from the Labrador Sea, Norway and Greenland in the polar and sub-polar zones towards the Southern Hemisphere. Along the east coast of... view more... (2001-04-26)
Predicting boom and bust ecologies
The natural world behaves a lot like the stock market, with periods of relative stability interspersed with dramatic swings in population size and competition between individuals and species. view more (2008-10-30)
Carbon nanotube membranes allow super-fast fluid flow
Membranes composed of manmade carbon nanotubes permit a fluid flow nearly 10,000 to 100,000 times faster than conventional fluid flow theory would predict because of the nanotubes' nearly friction-free surface. view more (2005-11-04)
Slow brain waves play key role in coordinating complex activity
While it is widely accepted that the output of nerve cells carries information between regions of the brain, it's a big mystery how widely separated regions of the cortex involving billions of cells are linked together to coordinate complex activity. view more (2006-09-15)
Study shows males are more tolerant of same-sex peers
Women have traditionally been viewed as being more social and cooperative than men. However, there is recent evidence that this may not be the case. In fact, studies have shown that men maintain larger social networks with other males compared to women and tend to have longer lasting friendships with members of the same-sex than do women. view more (2009-02-12)
Are you one of the few that respond to treatment for hepatitis C? - part 2
In patients being treated for hepatitis C the analysis of amino alanine transferase (ALT), a liver-produced enzyme, can help to predict if therapy will be successful, claims a team of researchers in the August issue of Hepatology2. The group of investigators propose that in some patients, it is possible, already in the first 48... view more... (2003-08-19)
Habitat loss and reserve network selection
What is the minimum combination of areas needed to protect at least one population of every species in a region? - This is a problem commonly addressed when aiming at cost-effective reserve networks. However, because the stress on reserve cost, the properties of the reserve-network for species persistence are often overlooked, typically resulting... view more... (2003-07-02)
Probing and controlling 'molecular rattling' may mean better preservatives
For centuries, people have preserved fruit by mixing it with sugar, making thick jams that last for months without spoiling. Now scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered a fundamental property of mixture behavior that might help extend the life of many things including vaccines, food and library... view more...

Man-Made Climate Change
A new study published in this week's issue of Nature is the first to show that human activity is altering the circulation of the tropical atmosphere and ocean through global warming. view more (2006-05-04)
Scripps research study reveals structural dynamics of single prion molecules
New techniques paint clearer picture of amyloid formation associated with protein-based inheritance and neurodegenerative diseases such as mad cow, Alzheimer's. view more (2007-02-13)
Where there's muck there's grass
The oldest ecological experiment in the world, set up almost 150 years ago to see whether inorganic fertilisers could produce more grass than traditional animal manures, is becoming an important source of evidence on the impact of climate change on genetic variation in plants. Speaking at the British Ecological Society's Annual Meeting, being... view more... (2003-09-01)
