Helicobacter pylori Acquisition Most Common In Young Children (P931)
A US study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how most newly acquired infections of the intestinal bacterium Helicobacter pylori probably occur in children younger than 10 years of age. The authors of the study suggest that treatment and prevention strategies should therefore be targeted at young children. H pylori infection is... view more... (2002-03-13)
COES professor's 'metamaterials' research lands cover of international journal
Dr. Dentcho Genov, an assistant professor of physics and electrical engineering at Louisiana Tech University and a Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) Institute fellow, is featured on the cover of the most recent issue of Nature Physics, one of the most respected and prestigious physics journals in the world. view more (2009-09-11)
Estrogen plays different role during stress in black and white teens
Estrogen seems to play a different role during stress in black and white girls, a difference that may help explain higher cardiovascular disease rates in blacks, researchers have found. view more (2006-06-26)
Conductive plastics made from natural, renewable, environmentally friendly soybeans
Polymer matrix composites with carbon black are very interesting materials. This is because the carbon black can be used as filler material and can beneficially modify the electrical and mechanical properties of the used matrixes. view more (2007-05-30)
Simulations Illuminate Universe's First Twin Stars
The earliest stars in the universe formed not only as individuals, but sometimes also as twins, according to a paper published today in Science Express. view more (2009-07-10)
HALT study: Black cohosh no better than placebo for hot flashes
The results of a federally funded study to examine whether black cohosh is an effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats - common symptoms of menopause - found that black cohosh was no better than a dummy pill. view more (2006-12-19)
NASA celebrates Chandra X-Ray Observatory's 10th anniversary

Race and short sleep duration increase the risk for obesity
According to a research abstract that will be presented on Monday, June 8, at SLEEP 2009, the 23rd Annual Meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, race significantly influences the risk of obesity conferred by short sleep duration, with blacks having a greater risk than whites. view more (2009-06-08)
Magic Beans — Anti-obesity soya could help prevent diabetes
A diet rich in black soya beans could help control weight, lower fat and cholesterol levels, and aid in the prevention of diabetes, reports Lisa Richards in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. view more (2007-02-26)
140-year-old math problem solved by researcher
A problem which has defeated mathematicians for almost 140 years has been solved by a researcher at Imperial College London. view more (2008-03-04)
Exploding Bubbles Detected by Laser Light
A revolutionary way of detecting the potentially dangerous gas bubbles in bore-holes that can lead to large explosions, is reported today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. The new technique, developed by researchers at the University of Reading, could save the oil exploration industry millions of pounds by... view more... (2000-05-30)
Closer To The Monster
Trailblazing VLT Interferometer Studies of the Central Region in Active Galaxy NGC 1068 [1] Fulfilling an old dream of astronomers, observations with the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the ESO Paranal Observatory (Chile) have now made it possible to obtain a clear picture of the immediate surroundings of the black hole at the centre... view more...

New 'superlens' reveals hidden nanostructures
A microscope used to scan nanostructures can be dramatically enhanced by using a 'superlens,' reports an international team of scientists from the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Biochemistry and The University of Texas at Austin in this week's issue of Science. view more (2006-09-15)
A Hungry Quasar Caught in the Act
The VLT Secures Spectacular Image of Distant Gravitational Interaction A new image of a distant quasar (the luminous core of an "active" galaxy) shows that it is engaged in a gravitational battle with its neighbouring galaxies. It also provides information on how supermassive black holes present in the center of quasars are fed. Using the FORS2... view more... (2001-05-31)
Underground Nuclear Explosions Deteriorate The Ozone Layer
Russian scientists have found one more cause of depletion of the ozone layer. They think that abyssal gases can go to the surface and reach stratosphere, deteriorating the ozone shield. Underground nuclear explosions enforce this process. A geologist Boris Golubov of the Institute of Geosphere Dynamics RAS and a climatologist Grigoriy Kruchenitsky... view more... (2002-08-16)
MU Researchers to Study the Status of Black Bears in Missouri
Researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia are studying the status of black bears in Missouri. Black bears were abundant in the state during the 18th and 19th centuries, but have been considered almost extinct in Missouri since the late 19th century. view more (2007-06-14)
Quasars help trace ancestors of giant elliptical galaxies
By using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as a `time machine`, astronomers from the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford in the UK and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore in the USA have been able to trace back the history of massive elliptical galaxies. They have found that galaxies of this kind, which still exist today,... view more... (2002-04-04)
How black is 'Super Black'?
Scientists at the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), Teddington, Middlesex, UK have good news for manufacturers and users across the optical instrumentation industry. Based on existing processes developed in the US and Japan, a team of researchers at NPL has developed a new technique for commercial manufacturing of ultra-black coatings, which... view more...
