Magnetism governs properties of iron-based superconductors
Though a year has passed since the discovery of a new family of high-temperature superconductors, a viable explanation for the iron-based materials' unusual properties remains elusive. But a team of scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may be close to the answer.   view more (2009-03-26)

Magnetic atoms of gold, silver and copper have been obtained
An international team led by Physics and Chemistry teams from the Faculty of Science and Technology at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and directed by Professor Jose Javier Saiz Garitaonandia, has achieved, by means of a controlled chemical process, that atoms of gold, silver and copper - intrinsically non-magnetic (not attracted to... view more...

New iron-based and copper-oxide high-temperature
In the initial studies of a new class of high-temperature superconductors discovered earlier this year, research at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed that new iron-based superconductors share similar unusual magnetic properties with previously known superconducting copper-oxide materials.   view more (2008-05-29)

A fast diagnosis for bacterial meningitis
University of Sydney researchers at Westmead Millennium Institute develop an accurate and rapid method of diagnosing bacterial meningitis.   view more (2005-11-17)

Superconductivity can induce magnetism
When an electrical current passes through a wire it emanates heat - a principle that's found in toasters and incandescent light bulbs.   view more (2008-09-12)

Why is long-term therapy required to cure tuberculosis?
Understanding why other bacteria become resistant to antibiotics could hold the key to understanding why TB takes so long to cure, say researchers in a policy paper in PLoS Medicine.   view more (2007-03-20)

Clinical guidelines help identify which children at risk of bacterial meningitis
A set of guidelines have been developed that can help predict the risk of bacterial meningitis for children with cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis (presence of greater number of white blood cells than normal).   view more (2007-01-03)

Hydrogen found to transmit magnetism
A team of chemists and physicists at the Universities of Liverpool and Oxford have shown that hydrogen transmits magnetism. This discovery could be the first step to a new class of magnetic materials, and opens up a new field of chemistry. The team, headed by Professor Matthew Rosseinsky of the Department of Chemistry, University of Liverpool, and... view more... (2002-03-07)

Genital infection may be linked to miscarriage
The genital infection, bacterial vaginosis, may be linked to miscarriage during the second trimester of pregnancy (13-15 weeks), concludes a study in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2002-12-04)

No evidence for immune system overload after triple jab MMR
There is no evidence that the triple MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine causes immune system overload and makes children more vulnerable to serious bacterial infection, finds a study in Archives of Disease in Childhood. If anything, the jab seems to protect children, the study shows. Researchers from the Public Health Laboratory Service... view more... (2003-02-18)

Risk factors identified for hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis
Researchers have identified several risk factors that are associated with the development of hearing loss in children with bacterial meningitis.   view more (2006-09-19)

Drug resistance may travel same path as quorum sensing
The cellular "pumps" associated with multi-drug resistance in bacteria may also be involved in exporting signals responsible for cell-cell communication, a process known as quorum sensing.   view more (2006-02-07)

How manuka honey helps fight infection
Manuka honey may kill bacteria by destroying key bacterial proteins. Dr Rowena Jenkins and colleagues from the University of Wales Institute - Cardiff investigated the mechanisms of manuka honey action and found that its anti-bacterial properties were not due solely to the sugars present in the honey.   view more (2009-09-08)

A THIRD OF CHILDHOOD BACTERIAL MENINGITIS CASES COULD BE MISSED IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA (p 1753)
Limited resources, which prevents the measurement of microbiological markers, could mean that around a third of cases of acute childhood bacterial meningitis are not diagnosed in sub-Saharan Africa, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The diagnosis of acute bacterial meningitis in children is difficult in sub-Saharan... view more... (2001-05-31)

Silicon May Have Been The Key To Start Of Life On Earth
A scientist at the University of Sheffield has discovered that silicon may have been key to the establishment of life on earth. Until now it has generally been thought that bacteria do not interact with silicon, but Dr Milton Wainwright and his team at the University's Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, has found that this is not... view more...

Markers found for bacterial vaginosis
Findings reported in this week's New England Journal of Medicine (November 3 issue) highlight promising findings from two Seattle-based researchers on the origins of bacterial vaginosis (BV).   view more (2005-11-08)

Antibiotics alter the normal bacterial flora in humans
Microbes researchers highlight drawbacks of antibiotics Antibiotics alter the normal bacterial flora in humans Bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics can live in the human intestines for at least one year. Professor Charlotta Edlund from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden, and Research Professor Pentti Huovinen from the National... view more... (2004-03-17)

Room temperature superconductivity
Scientists at the University of Cambridge have for the first time identified a key component to unravelling the mystery of room temperature superconductivity, according to a paper published in today's edition of the scientific journal Nature.   view more (2008-07-10)

Is obesity an oral bacterial disease?
The world-wide explosion of overweight people has been called an epidemic. The inflammatory nature of obesity is widely recognized.   view more (2009-07-09)

German researchers make significant strides in identifying cause of bacterial infections
Several bacterial pathogens use toxins to manipulate human host cells, ultimately disturbing cellular signal transduction. Until now, however, scientists have been able to track down only a few of the proteins that interact with bacterial toxins in infected human cells.   view more (2009-04-23)
