How Old is the Universe?
Most astronomers would agree that the age of the Universe - the time elapsed since the "Big Bang" - is one of the "holy grails of cosmology". Despite great efforts during recent years, the various estimates of this basic number have resulted in rather diverse values. When derived from current cosmological models, it depends on a number of... view more... (2001-02-06)
Use public funds to test jet lag drug, say researchers
The hormone melatonin has long been used to prevent and treat jet lag, but in many countries it cannot be sold because it is not licensed. Researchers in this week's BMJ argue that if use of the drug is in the public interest, then public funds should be used to get it adequately tested to be licensed. Jet lag is caused by the disturbance of... view more... (2003-02-05)
Living upside-down shapes spiders for energy saving
An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Spain and Croatia led an investigation into the peculiar lifestyle of numerous spider species, which live, feed, breed and 'walk' in an upside-down hanging position. view more (2008-03-26)
Imperial to lead the way in developing vaccines against bio-weapons
Scientists at Imperial College London and Hammersmith Hospital are to help develop new vaccines in case of a terrorist release of biological agents such as anthrax. view more (2004-11-01)
Brain difference in psychopaths identified
Professor Declan Murphy and colleagues Dr Michael Craig and Dr Marco Catani from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have found differences in the brain which may provide a biological explanation for psychopathy. view more (2009-08-04)
New study suggests that high-dose hormone treatment might reduce risk for PTSD
Cortisol helps our bodies cope with stress, but what about its effects on the brain? A new study by Cohen and colleagues, appearing in the October 15th issue of Biological Psychiatry, suggests that the answer to this question is complex. view more (2008-10-22)
ETH Researchers Visualize the Binding of Proteins to the Nuclear Surface
Not only the genetic information of individual cells, but also that of the entire organism is stored within the cell nucleus. Each cell of a multicellular organism, e.g. man, contains the identical DNA sequences. The communication between the cell nucleus and the remainder of the cell is thus decisive for the correct functioning of the cells and... view more... (2003-01-15)
Threat of Bioterrorism - Real or Imagined?
Until a few years ago the threat to use microbes as biological weapons was practically ignored by doctors and scientists working in medicine and public health. Today there is every reason to believe that the threat of bioterrorism is not only real but is growing, according to Washington based public health expert Professor Donald Henderson,... view more...

Microscopes at microscopic size
Traditionally if scientists wanted to look at something small they would put a sample under a microscope but now researchers have managed to shrink the microscope itself to the size of a single human cell. An interdisciplinary research team, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Science Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and... view more... (2005-04-07)
Maintaining aerobic fitness could delay biological aging by up to 12 years
Maintaining aerobic fitness through middle age and beyond can delay biological ageing by up to 12 years and prolong independence during old age, concludes an analysis published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2008-04-10)
Cancer could be caught before it develops
An article published in the journal BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making describes the creation of the first comprehensive listing and classification of precancers, drawn from the medical literature. Using this classification, the precancers have been organized into groups that share similar biologic profiles and, hopefully, similar... view more... (2003-06-20)
The largest leachate plant in Europe
Leachates are the dirty or contaminated waters from landfills, produced as a consequence of both the moisture already present in the waste as well as of rainwater contaminated on passing through the waste material. The leachate plant has a capacity for treating 350,000 cubic metres a year, equivalent to the amount of wastewater generated by a city... view more... (2004-02-25)
New Proteome Research Centre Opens in Dublin
The official launch of the Conway Institute Proteome Research Centre will take place on June 3rd and 4th 2004. The opening symposium to mark the occasion has attracted scientific luminaries from the world of protein research. The new challenge in biomedical science since the completion of the human genome has been to discover the function of... view more... (2004-06-01)
Synergy between biology and physics drives cell-imaging technology
Developing techniques to image the complex biological systems found at the sub-cellular level has traditionally been hampered by divisions between the academic fields of biology and physics. However, a new interdisciplinary zeal has seen a number of exciting advances in super-resolution imaging technologies. view more (2008-06-02)
Dormant Bugs Dodge Antibiotics
A new way to attack harmful bacteria by affecting normal growth has been discovered by scientists from Aberystwyth. The research is presented today, Wednesday 10 September 2003, by Dr Adriana Ravagnani at the Society for General Microbiology's meeting at UMIST in Manchester. Under hostile conditions some bacteria have the ability to go into and... view more... (2003-08-27)
Genomic sequences processed in minutes, rather than weeks
A new computational tool developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is speeding up our understanding of the machinery of life - bringing us one step closer to curing diseases, finding safer ways to clean the environment and protecting the country against biological threats. view more (2005-06-22)
Touch wood! Survey reveals secrets of the nation's superstitions
An online survey into the nation's beliefs has revealed that, amongst its respondents, women are more superstitious than men and the Scots appear to be the most superstitious people in the UK. The survey, carried out during National Science Week by the BA (British Association for the Advancement of Science) and psychologist Dr. Richard Wiseman,... view more... (2003-03-17)
Biotech breakthrough could end biodiesel's glycerin glut
With U.S. biodiesel production at an all-time high and a record number of new biodiesel plants under construction, the industry is facing an impending crisis over waste glycerin, the major byproduct of biodiesel production. view more (2007-06-27)
