Darwin meets Facebook
Natural history plans to chart life on earth, yet the discipline risks being buried under a landslide of painstakingly collected data that isn't always used. view more (2009-11-10)
MIT's molecular sieve advances protein research
New MIT technology promises to speed up the accurate sorting of proteins, work that may ultimately aid in the detection and treatment of disease. view more (2006-09-14)
Father figures could prevent delinquency
Close attachment to a conventional, non-criminal father-figure may be the key to preventing 'at risk' adolescent boys turning to crime. This is the finding of research by Jenny Taylor of South London and Maudsley NHS Trust which is presented today, Wednesday 4 April, at The British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology... view more...

NYU dental professor discovers biological clock
Why do rats live faster and die younger than humans? A newly discovered biological clock provides tantalizing clues. view more (2008-04-07)
Elderly women have better mental ability than men, despite less formal education
Elderly women have a better mental function than men despite their lower level of formal education, conclude Dutch researchers in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. These findings challenge the view that a limited formal education is associated with lower mental ability and suggest that biological differences between men and... view more... (2001-06-14)
NIST measures performance of auto crash warning systems
Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed and tested a laser-based ranging system to assess the performance of automobile collision warning systems. view more (2007-11-28)
RESEARCHERS TACKLE SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROBLEMS IN A BID TO HELP BUSINESSES
The reengineering of legacy systems is a widespread and important challenge for software engineers. However, they are not an issue for software engineers alone, as Dr Ashley Lloyd of the University of Edinburgh's Management School points out: "Legacy systems which become tightly linked with, and effectively 'lock-in', business processes... view more...

A new look at the state of the oceans
The current condition of the oceans, their significance as the most important resource for the world's population, and their impact on the climate will be at the centre of discussion during the seminar 'A new look on the ocean' at the Euroscience Open Forum (ESOF 2006) in Munich. view more (2006-07-17)
Marine pathogens spread much faster than their terrestrial counterparts
It has become increasingly clear that pathogen epidemics are as significant a component of marine systems as they are in terrestrial systems. At an National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group on Diseases in the Ocean, McCallum, Harvell and Dobson collated data on epidemic spread from both terrestrial and marine... view more...

NIST, DOD, intelligence agencies join forces to secure US cyber infrastructure
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in partnership with the Department of Defense (DOD), the Intelligence Community (IC), and the Committee on National Security Systems (CNSS), has released the first installment of a three-year effort to build a unified information security framework for the entire federal government. view more (2009-06-18)
MIT researchers offer glimpse of rare mutant cells
MIT biological engineers have developed a new imaging system that allows them to see cells that have undergone a specific mutation. view more (2008-07-22)
Working with `worms` to reveal the secrets of a long life
10 meter long, 25 year old tape worms living in human and animal digestive systems are the subjects for the latest research project at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth (UWA). A group of scientists led by Dr Peter Brophy and Professor John Barrett of the University`s Institute of Biological Sciences are taking a new perspective on how... view more... (2001-12-10)
UCSB researchers develop drug delivery system using nanoparticles and lasers
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have developed a new way to deliver drugs into cancer cells by exposing them briefly to a non-harmful laser. view more (2009-09-10)
Argonne scientists peer into heart of compound that may detect chemical, biological weapons
A light-transmitting compound that could one day be used in high-efficiency fiber optics and in sensors to detect biological and chemical weapons at long distance almost went undiscovered by scientists because its structure was too difficult to examine. view more (2008-09-29)
Elimination of organic waste from water
University of Navarra researcher, Xabier Sevillano, recently defended his PhD thesis on a novel procedure for the elimination of organic waste from water. view more (2005-11-07)
Listeriosis infection primer for health-care providers and the public
With the current outbreaks of listeriosis in Canada connected to deli meats and cheese, CMAJ is releasing guidelines for health care professionals and the general public about symptoms, who is at risk, symptom management, and how to reduce the risk of listeriosis. view more (2008-09-12)

Astronomers at the University of Michigan have found what are believed to be some of the youngest solar systems yet detected. view more (2007-11-30)
Can fruit flies help treat stroke and transplant patients?
Reperfusion injury takes place when an animal or an organ is starved of oxygen, then exposed to oxygen again. This occurs in strokes and organ transplants and causes many deaths per year. view more (2007-12-05)
Liverpool cell-imaging scientists receive £1million boost
Leading cell-imaging scientists in the School of Biological Sciences, at the University of Liverpool, have today received a boost of over £1million to carry out research that could lead to the improved detection and treatment of killer diseases such as heart disease and cancer. The research project is only one of 6 biotechnology projects in... view more... (2002-11-19)
Developing enzymes to clean up pollution by explosives
