Male praying mantids prefer not to be victims of sexual cannibalism
Female praying mantids are notorious for sexual cannibalism - that is, for eating their male partner during mating. view more (2006-07-27)
NASA sees orbiting stars flooding space with gravitational waves
A scientist using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found evidence that two white dwarf stars are orbiting each other in a death grip, destined to merge. view more (2005-05-30)
Astronomers use Hubble to 'weigh' Dog Star's companion
For astronomers, it's always been a source of frustration that the nearest white-dwarf star is buried in the glow of the brightest star in the nighttime sky. This burned-out stellar remnant is a faint companion of the brilliant blue-white Dog Star, Sirius, located in the winter constellation Canis Major. view more (2005-12-13)
X-rays provide a new way to investigate exploding stars
ESA's X-ray observatory XMM-Newton has revealed a new class of exploding stars - where the X-ray emission 'lives fast and dies young'. view more (2007-05-10)
Forming super-Earths by ultraviolet stripping
A new explanation for forming "super-Earths" suggests that they are more likely to be found orbiting red dwarf stars—the most abundant type of star—than gas giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. view more (2006-06-08)
White Dwarf Pulses Like a Pulsar
New observations from Suzaku, a joint Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and NASA X-ray observatory, have challenged scientists' conventional understanding of white dwarfs. Observers had believed white dwarfs were inert stellar corpses that slowly cool and fade away, but the new data tell a completely different story. view more (2008-01-03)
New study changes conditions for Spanish brown bears
Brown bears from the Iberian Peninsula are not as genetically different from other brown bears in Europe as was previously thought. view more (2008-03-19)
California Academy of Sciences becomes first aquarium in US to breed dwarf cuttlefish
Anchored to an algae-covered rock in a 120-gallon tank at the California Academy of Sciences' Steinhart Aquarium, a cluster of inky-colored cuttlefish eggs is beginning to swell-evidence of success for the Academy's new captive breeding program for dwarf cuttlefish, Sepia bandensis. view more (2009-11-13)
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope provides new evidence for dark matter around small galaxies
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a strong new line of evidence that galaxies are embedded in halos of dark matter. view more (2009-03-13)
Looping genes may hold a key to understanding breast cancer
Another piece of the puzzle that is breast cancer has been found by University of Queensland researchers. view more (2008-04-09)
New President For The British Psychological Society
The British Psychological Society's new President, Emeritus Professor Kenneth Brown, takes over from Emeritus Professor Alexander (Zander) Wedderburn at the Society's Annual Conference at Imperial College, London on Friday 16 April 2004. Professor Brown retired from Queen's University in Belfast in 1999 after 31 years. For the last 21 years of... view more... (2004-04-16)
Even 'failed stars' form planets
An international team of astronomers shows that even brown dwarfs start to form planets. view more (2005-10-26)
Evidence from ancient European graves raises questions about ritual human sacrifice
A fascinating new paper from the June issue of Current Anthropology explores ancient multiple graves and raises the possibility that hunter gatherers in what is now Europe may have practiced ritual human sacrifice. view more (2007-05-30)
From ethnic slurs to football via school: the psychology of groups
Ethnic slurs, football, school performance, Northern Ireland, and attitudes to the French. These were some of the topics on which psychologists reported findings in a major symposium held today, Saturday 31 March, at The British Psychological Society’s Centenary Annual Conference, held at the SECC, Glasgow. Passengers prevented from... view more... (2001-03-26)
Spitzer nets thousands of galaxies in a giant cluster
In just a short amount of time, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has bagged more than a thousand previously unknown dwarf galaxies in a giant cluster of galaxies. view more (2007-05-29)
Dusty old star offers window to our future, astronomers report
Astronomers have glimpsed dusty debris around an essentially dead star where gravity and radiation should have long ago removed any sign of dust - a discovery that may provide insights into our own solar system's eventual demise several billion years from now. view more (2005-09-09)
Scientists find brown fat master switch
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have identified a long-sought "master switch" in mice for the production of brown fat, a type of adipose tissue that generates heat and counters obesity caused by overeating. view more (2007-07-11)
Planets like earth may have formed around other stars, UCLA astronomers report
The chemical fingerprint of a burned-out star indicates that Earth-like planets may not be rare in the universe and could give clues to what our solar system will look like when our sun dies and becomes a white dwarf star some five billion years from now. view more (2007-08-20)
Understanding hypertension in African Americans proves elusive
Exercise cannot reduce a sodium-retaining hormone in African Americans known to potentially cause hypertension, found Michael D. Brown, Ph.D., the senior author of a study in the September issue of Experimental Physiology. Brown is an associate professor of kinesiology at Temple University's College of Health Professions. view more (2007-08-16)
The universe just became a little simpler
Using images from the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have concluded that two of the most common types of galaxies in the universe are in reality different versions of the same thing. In spite of their similar-sounding names, astronomers had long considered "dwarf elliptical" and "giant elliptical" galaxies... view more... (2003-06-18)
