New way to assess risk of heart disease in ethnic groups
A new web-based calculator will better assess the risk of heart disease in British black and minority ethnic groups. These groups are often wrongly assessed. view more (2006-06-08)
Mechanism of black cohosh versus hot flashes revealed
The natural herb black cohosh is commonly used by women to treat menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, but the molecular mechanisms underlying its action have eluded scientists - until now. view more (2006-12-26)
Black cohosh does not relieve menopausal hot flashes, Group Health researchers find

Scientists penetrate fossil magma chamber beneath intact ocean crust - achieving scientific 'first'
Approximately 800 km west of Costa Rica an international team of scientists aboard the research drilling ship JOIDES Resolution has¡-for the first time-recovered black rocks known as gabbros from intact ocean crust. view more (2006-04-21)
Sprats With Polonium
There are many radioactive elements in the world. For example, natural element polonium has 33 radioactive isotopes. Fortunately, only one isotope, 210Po, has a relatively long (138.4 days) half-life period. This isotope appears in the atmosphere as a result of radon decay, sinks to oceans and seas, and accumulates in organs of some animals, in... view more... (2002-07-19)
Climate change creates dramatic decline in red-winged black bird population
Global warming strikes again. A University of Illinois researcher reports that a red-winged black bird population in Ontario, Canada has decreased by 50 percent since 1972. view more (2006-11-14)
Discovery of most recent supernova in our galaxy
The most recent supernova in our Galaxy has been discovered by tracking the rapid expansion of its remains. This result, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and NRAO's Very Large Array (VLA), has implications for understanding how often supernovas explode in the Milky Way galaxy. view more (2008-05-15)
Rising acidity levels could trigger shellfish revenue declines, job losses
Changes in ocean chemistry - a consequence of increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human industrial activity - could cause U.S. shellfish revenues to drop significantly in the next 50 years, according to a new study by researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI). view more (2009-06-18)

ESA steps towards a great black hole census
Astronomers using ESA's orbiting gamma-ray observatory, Integral, have taken an important step towards estimating how many black holes there are in the Universe. view more (2006-09-08)
Study shows hibernating bears conserve more muscle strength than humans on bed rest do
A fascinating new study from the May/June 2007 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology quantifiably measures the loss of strength and endurance in black bears during long periods of hibernation. view more (2007-04-25)
Black patients with chronic pain less likely to have obesity assessed
At the intersection of two U.S. health epidemics - obesity and chronic pain - researchers from the University of Michigan Health System found black patients with chronic pain were less likely to have their weight or body mass index (BMI) recorded, even though they are at higher risk for having obesity when compared with their white counterparts. view more (2008-10-15)
Quantum ghosts are helpful
The idea that far distant particles can somehow 'talk' to each other worried Einstein so much that he called it 'spooky action at a distance'. view more (2009-04-28)
UCR biologists unravel the genetic secrets of black widow spider silk
Biologists at the University of California, Riverside have identified the genes, and determined the DNA sequences, for two key proteins in the "dragline silk" of the black widow spider - an advance that may lead to a variety of new materials for industrial, medical and military uses. view more (2007-06-13)
