"Rational" Meccano
Nanofibrous carbon is interesting by itself: it consists of carbon fibres of 3 to 500 nm in diameter. These fibres can form " cylinders" (which make almost finished polymeric nanotubes), or a system of cones stowed one into the other at a certain angle to the fibre axis, or simply "wrapping package" - this is driven by the type of applied catalyst... view more...

Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. view more (2007-01-31)
Hot Clues To A Cool Nose
In an attack of hay fever, the temperature of the nose rises. Effective medication prevents this too. An infrared camera provides non-contact images of the changes. Researchers can use these images to determine how reliable and effective anti-allergic agents are. When summer comes, it brings with it severe sneezing attacks and itching eyes. People... view more... (2004-07-08)
Yellowstone's Ancient Supervolcano: Only Lukewarm?
The geysers of Yellowstone National Park owe their eistence to the "Yellowstone hotspot"--a region of molten rock buried deep beneath Yellowstone, geologists have found. view more (2008-08-28)
Hormone irregularities linked to chronic migraine
Hormonal irregularities may explain why migraine becomes chronic, shows research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Around 3 per cent of the population are chronic migraineurs, suffering pounding headaches for around 15 days a month. Hourly blood samples were taken from 17 chronic migraine sufferers, three of whom were men.... view more... (2001-11-23)
HUMIDITY INDUCES MELTING IN TROPICAL-ZONE GLACIERS
On Zongo glacier in Bolivia, situated at between 6000 and 4900 m elevation on the Huayna Potosi massif, 30 km from La Paz, scientists have observed that the runoff stream, induced by ice melting, showed a discharge rate two or three times lower during the dry season (May to August at this latitude) than that in the wet season (November to... view more...

For dialysis patients, skinny is dangerous
Dialysis patients with low body fat are at increased risk of death-even compared to patients at the highest level of body fat percentage, according to research being presented at the American Society of Nephrology's 42nd Annual Meeting and Scientific Exposition in San Diego. view more (2009-11-02)
Evolution: Crabs go deep to avoid hot water
Researchers from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, have drawn together 200 years' worth of oceanographic knowledge to investigate the distribution of a notorious deep-sea giant - the king crab. view more (2009-07-06)
Astrophysicists Listen to Loops Shivering on the Sun
You would imagine that a 500,000 kilometre long arch of super heated plasma releasing energy equal to the simultaneous explosion of 40 billion Hiroshima atomic bombs would be as easy to "hear" as it is to "see" - but it's not. Astrophysicists have long thought about using the acoustic waves in these flares to understand more... view more... (2004-02-17)
Theory predicts aging process in DVDs, plexiglas, other polymer glasses
Polymer glasses are versatile plastics widely used in applications ranging from aircraft windshields to DVDs. Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a theory that predicts how these materials age. The theory also explains why motions at the molecular level can have macroscopic consequences. view more (2007-04-24)
Emory Researcher Finds Crayfish Fossils Provide Missing Evolutionary Link
Crayfish body fossils and burrows discovered in Victoria, Australia, have provided the first physical evidence that crayfish existed on the continent as far back as the Mesozoic Era, says Emory University paleontologist Anthony Martin, who headed up a study on the finds. view more (2008-02-07)
Imperial College Press Invitation - Getting under the skin of 'the Human Body'.
Scientists from Imperial College, and filmmakers have once again combined their talents to produce incredible new footage for 'The Human Body', IMAX version. The series, originally shown on BBC1 and narrated by professor Lord Robert Winston, received critical acclaim, but since then, new footage has been recorded showing more of how the body... view more...

Daily temperature shifts may alter malaria patterns
Daytime temperature fluctuations greatly alter the incubation period of malaria parasites in mosquitoes and alter transmission rates of the disease. view more (2009-08-04)
Professor makes sense of chaos
Research by a University of Sunderland psychologist has revealed that one in four people may have a special gift for predicting uncertainties like the weather. Tests carried out by Professor Richard Heath, from the university's Business School, also showed that this uncanny ability could possibly extend to the financial markets. During his... view more...

Absorbent materials for the storage of hydrogen
A research team from the Public University of Navarra has started a study of the design and development of absorbent materials that enable the storage of hydrogen, a clean fuel that can be used as an alternative to those derived from fossil fuels, such as petrol and diesel. view more (2005-06-28)
Diode laser could be vital for safeguarding aircraft
Terrorists can strike anywhere, at any time, and aircraft, both military and civilian, are targets for heat-seeking missiles, one of many tactics in use by groups hostile to the United States. view more (2006-09-01)
The effects of climate change on the physiology of alfalfa
The biologist Gorka Erice Soreasu, a researcher in the Department of Plant Biology of the University of Navarra, has studied the effects of climate change on the physiology of alfalfa. view more (2006-04-12)
Researcher solve one mystery of high-temperature superconductors
Unlike low-temperature superconductors, which are metals, high-temperature superconductors are insulators in their normal state. This has puzzled scientists, because half of the electron states are empty. view more (2005-11-29)
How appetite-stimulating brain cells work overtime during fasting
During periods of fasting, brain cells responsible for stimulating the appetite make sure that you stay hungry. Now, a new study of mice reported in the January issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, published by Cell Press, reveals the complex series of molecular events that keep those neurons active. view more (2007-01-03)
Whole body MDCT just as 'good' as neck MDCT angiography in diagnosing head and neck injuries
Blunt cerebrovascular injuries can be diagnosed using whole body 16 multi-detector CT (MDCT); there's no need for an additional neck MDCT angiography examination. view more (2008-03-31)
