Scientists weigh ingredients in recipe of the Universe
An international team of scientists from Cambridge, Manchester and Tenerife has released the first results of new high-precision observations of the relic radiation from the Big Bang, often called the cosmic microwave background or CMB. These observations have been made with a novel radio telescope called the Very Small Array (VSA) situated on... view more... (2002-05-23)
Snapshot of past climate reveals no ice in Antarctica millions of years ago
A snapshot of New Zealand's climate 40 million years ago reveals a greenhouse Earth, with warmer seas and little or no ice in Antarctica, according to research published this week in the journal Geology. view more (2008-07-29)
Bacteria with a built-in thermometer
Researchers in the "Molecular Infection Biology group" at the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research (HZI) in Braunschweig and the Braunschweig Technical University could now demonstrate for the first time that bacteria of the Yersinia genus possess a unique protein thermometer - the protein RovA - which assists them in the infection... view more...

Scientists Recreate Martian Environment
Scientists at the University of Leicester's Space Research Centre are recreating the hostile environment found on Mars in their laboratory, with a device known as the Martian Environment Simulator (MES). The machine reproduces the temperature, air pressure and unbreathable atmosphere known to exist on Mars. The MES is currently being used to test... view more... (2002-05-31)
Children and their Body Image
The development of a Children's Body Image Scale (CBIS) may help in the early identification of dissatisfaction with body size in pre-pubescent children. These research findings are published today, 21st June 2002, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology by Dr Helen Truby, School of Biomedical and Life Sciences, University of Surrey and Dr... view more...

How Ground Squirrels Lose Weight
Spring. First flowers sprout from the ground, and animals wake up from hibernation (dormancy) and come out from their burrows. If not for the hibernation, small rodents would starve or freeze to death in winter. However, the winter slumber is not a kind of rest in a sanatorium. Animals become emaciated during winter, and all they think about in... view more... (2002-06-04)
Waste not, want not
Tapping industrial waste heat could reduce fossil fuel demands in the short term and improve efficiency of countless manufacturing processes, according to scientists in Japan writing in the International Journal of Exergy. view more (2009-04-02)
MIT reveals superconducting surprise
MIT physicists have taken a step toward understanding the puzzling nature of high-temperature superconductors, materials that conduct electricity with no resistance at temperatures well above absolute zero. view more (2008-02-13)
Circuit board materials may like it hot (or not)
Electrical circuits may act differently in Arizona than they do in Alaska—potentially affecting the performance of computers and other electronics. A new technique identifies and quantifies an important cause of this temperature sensitivity. view more (2006-06-09)
High humidity is a risk factor for heart attack deaths among the elderly
High humidity, even in a relatively mild climate, boosts the risk of a heart attack among the elderly, reveals research published ahead of print in Heart. view more (2006-07-13)
Ocean temperature predicts spread of marine species
Scientists can predict how the distance marine larvae travel varies with ocean temperature - a key component in conservation and management of fish, shellfish and other marine species - according to a new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2006-12-26)
Boston College scientists stretch carbon nanotubes
Physicists at Boston College have for the first time shown that carbon nanotubes can be stretched at high temperature to nearly four times their original length, a finding that could have implications for future semiconductor design as well as in the development of new nanocomposites. view more (2006-01-19)
Hydrogen storage can be improved
The storage of hydrogen in fuel cell powered cars can probably be greatly improved by increasing the working temperature of the fuel cell. With the use of magnesium powder, the storage of hydrogen can take place more efficiently and safely and at a higher temperature. This is the conclusion of Gijs Schimmel, who will defend his PhD thesis at TU... view more... (2005-01-26)
Taking evolution's temperature: Researchers pinpoint the energy it takes to make a species
Writing this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists say higher temperatures near the equator speed up the metabolisms of the inhabitants, fueling genetic changes that actually lead to the creation of new species. view more (2006-06-01)
Argonne scientists pinpoint mechanism to increase magnetic response of ferromagnetic semiconductor
When squeezed, electrons increase their ability to move around. In compounds such as semiconductors and electrical insulators, such squeezing can dramatically change the electrical- and magnetic- properties. view more (2009-02-26)
New observations and climate model data confirm recent warming of the tropical atmosphere
For the first time, new climate observations and computer models provide a consistent picture of recent warming of the tropical atmosphere. view more (2005-08-12)
Ice study could stop people slip-sliding away
Going out and about in freezing conditions could become safer thanks to fundamental research at the University of Edinburgh into how we slip on ice. view more (2004-12-09)
Southampton scientists unravel 8,200-year-old climate riddle
Palaeoceanographers from the Southampton Oceanography Centre have shed new light on the world's climate behaviour over 8,200 years ago. In an article published this week in Nature, they demonstrate that a sudden drop in temperature lasting 200 years cannot be used as a template for the modern day threat of rapid climate change. view more (2005-04-21)
Brain-damaged children often have cold feet
Many wheelchair-using children with neurological disorders have much colder hands and feet than other children, and most receive no special help even though they have had these problems for a long time, is revealed in at thesis from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. view more (2009-10-20)
A breakthrough in heat transfer technology
A revolutionary breakthrough in heat transfer technology that could improve process productivity and reduce energy consumption and waste, is being developed by Ashe Morris Ltd thanks to a £100,000 investment from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology & the Arts), the largest source of early stage funding in the UK. view more (2003-07-21)
