Marsupial lion tops African lion in fight to death
Pound for pound, Australia's extinct marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) would have made mince meat of today's African lion (Panthera leo) had the two big hyper-carnivores ever squared off in a fight to the death, according to an Australian scientist. view more (2008-01-17)
Most Distant Group of Galaxies Known in the Universe
New VLT Discovery Pushes Back the Beginnings Using the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT), a team of astronomers from The Netherlands, Germany and the USA [1] have discovered the most distant group of galaxies ever seen, about 13.5 billion light-years away. It has taken the light now recorded by the VLT about nine-tenths of the age of the Universe to... view more... (2002-04-09)
Genome of saltwater creature could aid understanding of gene grouping
The genetic code of a simple saltwater creature could help researchers learn more about how groups of genes function in humans and other species. view more (2008-08-21)
HBV genotype B/B3 and C/C1 are the major genotypes in Indonesia?
Previous studies revealed that HBV genotypes as well as mutations in the core promoter, precore or HBx gene have been shown to have an association with the clinical outcome of liver disease, however, this is still controversial. view more (2009-09-16)
Colossal Black Holes Common in the Early Universe
Astronomers think that many - perhaps all - galaxies in the universe contain massive black holes at their centers. New observations with the Submillimeter Array now suggest that such colossal black holes were common even 12 billion years ago, when the universe was only 1.7 billion years old and galaxies were just beginning to form. view more (2008-10-17)
Secretary Of State Goes Back To The Future With Supermarket Science!
Today (Monday 25th February) the shape of supermarket products to come could be set to take a new turn as ASDA calls on kids to suggest what we could all be putting in our trollies in the future. Education and Skills Secretary Estelle Morris will be launching the Big Science, ASDA's latest education initiative, with the help of children from... view more... (2002-02-22)
UCR-led research team detects 'top quark,' a basic constituent of matter
A group of 50 international physicists, led by UC Riverside's Ann Heinson, has detected for the first time a subatomic particle, the top quark, produced without the simultaneous production of its antimatter partner - an extremely rare event. view more (2006-12-14)
Planet-sized solutions for global warming: International experts evaluate the options
Big ideas for reducing the impacts of climate change are being evaluated by an international line-up of leading scientists from the US, mainland Europe and the UK at a symposium in Cambridge this week. The scientists are coming together to evaluate which large-scale bio-engineering, geo-engineering and chemical engineering ideas to combat global... view more... (2004-01-05)
Finding trapped miners
University of Utah scientists devised a new way to find miners trapped by cave-ins. The method involves installing iron plates and sledgehammers at regular intervals inside mines, and sensitive listening devices on the ground overhead. view more (2009-03-26)
Great white's mighty bite revealed
Using sophisticated computer modelling techniques they have also calculated that the bite force of the great white's extinct relative, the gigantic fossil species Carcharodon megalodon (also known as Big Tooth) is the highest of all time, making it arguably the most formidable carnivore ever to have existed. view more (2008-08-04)
Physicists and engineers search for new dimension
The universe as we currently know it is made up of three dimensions of space and one of time, but researchers in the Department of Physics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech are exploring the possibility of an extra dimension. view more (2008-03-11)
Chemistry & Industry - 6 May Issue
NEWS Cancer vaccine from patient’s own blood (page 4) A novel cancer vaccine made from patient’s own blood is in clinical trials in the US. In phase II clinical trials, a 60% reduction in median-tumour growth was observed and, in some cases, tumours stopped growing altogether. view more (2002-05-01)

Einstein's relativity survives neutrino test
Physicists working to disprove "Lorentz invariance" -- Einstein's prediction that matter and massless particles will behave the same no matter how they're turned or how fast they go -- won't get that satisfaction from muon neutrinos, at least for the time being, says a consortium of scientists. view more (2008-10-16)
Dramatic Difference Discovered In Behaviour Of Matter And Antimatter
Today, August 2nd 2004, particle physicists from the UK and around the world working on the BABAR experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) in the USA, announced exciting new results demonstrating a dramatic difference in the behaviour of matter and antimatter. Their discovery may help to explain why the Universe we live in is... view more... (2004-08-02)
Caltech scientists find cells coordinate gene activity with FM bursts
How a cell achieves the coordinated control of a number of genes at the same time, a process that's necessary for it to regulate its own behavior and development, has long puzzled scientists. view more (2008-10-01)
