Life under extreme contidions, microbiology of the hydrothermal vents
Microorganisms are found everywhere, even under the most extreme environmental conditions. These include extremely high temperature environments in which growth of certain Archaea - the most primitive forms of life - is possible at temperatures up to 110oC or higher, and hypersaline environments saturated with salt. The deep-sea hydrothermal vents... view more... (2003-05-29)
Secrets behind high temperature superconductors revealed
Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London and the University of Fribourg (Switzerland) have found evidence that magnetism is involved in the mechanism behind high temperature superconductivity. view more (2009-02-23)
What determines body size?
How does a growing organism determine what its final body size will be? In the moth Manduca sexta, also known as the tobacco hornworm and recognisable by its distinctive blue-green caterpillar, adult body size is largely determined at the end of larval life, when the caterpillar has reached it final weight and is about to metamorphose into a moth. view more (2006-08-02)
Lithium additions to nickel aluminides increases material strength
Intermetallics such as nickel aluminides have been of particular interest due to their excellent high temperature properties such as strength and corrosion resistance. view more (2007-06-14)
Large dinosaurs were extremely hot in their day, UF study finds
If you think dinosaurs are hot today, just think back to about 110 million years ago when they really ran hot and heavy. view more (2006-07-12)
The case of the snuggling skunks — Is it better to brave winter alone or in a group?
A fascinating new study in the January/February 2007 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology looks at the benefits of huddling vs. solitude, comparing strategies used by striped skunks to get through long, cold winters in northern climates. While most male skunks den underground alone during the winter, a group of female skunks will often... view more... (2006-12-20)
Lowering Body Temperature Could Aid Standard Stroke Treatment
University of Cincinnati (UC) scientists have developed a model that could help physicians combine current clot-busting medication with below-normal body temperatures (hypothermia) to improve the treatment of ischemic stroke patients. view more (2007-05-18)
Huddling and a drop in metabolism allow penguins to survive the South Pole cold
March of the Penguins, the Oscar® winning documentary, showed how the emperor penguins endure their incubation and fast for four dark and bitterly cold months each year. The tight huddling among these South Pole penguins is a key energy-saving mechanism that allows them to endure their extremely harsh conditions. view more (2007-02-01)
New metal alloys boost high-temperature heat treatment of jet engine components
Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree. view more (2007-07-25)
Bumblebee house warming — it takes a village
Researchers have known that a key to the insects' success in adapting to cooler climates is their ability to maintain fairly stable body temperatures when flying to flowers. view more (2007-01-19)
How to make sure that beneficial probiotic bacteria reach consumers in an active way?
Yoghurt is often used as a carrier product for beneficial probiotic bacteria. Yoghurt, as such, has a positive health image among consumers and is part of everyday diet in most European countries. However, making yoghurt a truly probiotic product is a challenging task. Firstly, the probiotic bacteria have to be viable in the product, so that the... view more... (2003-01-17)
Pushing the limits of hard disk storage
Just how much data can we cram onto a hard disk? In a paper appearing online today in Physical Review Letters, EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) Professor Harald Brune and his colleagues report what they believe to be the ultimate density limit of magnetic recording. view more (2005-10-10)
When it comes to brain damage, blankets take the place of drugs
Have you ever covered yourself with a blanket to stave off the shivers? A new study shows that a blanket can also help alleviate shivering in patients who have been cooled to prevent brain damage. view more (2009-07-08)
Elephant seal pups suffer from ocean warming
Ocean warming has a negative impact on the condition of elephant seals, reveals a study published in the Open Access journal BMC Biology. High ocean temperatures observed from 1975 to the late 1990s are correlated with a 28% decrease in the weight of elephant seal pups. Elephant seals are shown to be sensitive to ocean temperature changes... view more... (2005-04-18)
Shade trees can protect coffee crops
Sustainable farming that employs shade trees may improve crops' resistance to temperature and precipitation extremes that climate changes are expected to trigger. view more (2008-10-01)
Worms control lifespan at high temperatures, UCSF study finds
The common research worm, C. elegans, is able to use heat-sensing nerve cells to not only regulate its response to hotter environments, but also to control the pace of its aging as a result of that heat, according to new research at the University of California, San Francisco. view more (2009-04-17)
Device controls electron spin at room temperature
In a breakthrough for applied physics, North Carolina State University researchers have developed a magnetic semiconductor memory device, using GaMnN thin films, which utilizes both the charge and spin of electrons at room temperature. view more (2009-04-07)
OHSU researchers reveal the science of shivering
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University's Neurological Sciences Institute have uncovered the system that tells the body when to perform one of its most basic defenses against the cold: shivering. view more (2007-12-18)
A study undertaken at the University of Navarra relates the neural damage provoked by Ecstasy with the ambient temperature at which it is consumed
There exists a direct relationship between the consumption of MDMA, or Ecstasy, at a high ambient temperature and an increase in the neural damage which this drug provokes. view more (2007-08-06)
Human nose too cold for bird flu, says new study
Avian influenza viruses do not thrive in humans because the temperature inside a person's nose is too low, according to research published today in the journal PLoS Pathogens. view more (2009-05-15)
