X-rays use diamonds as a window to the center of the Earth
Diamonds from Brazil have provided the answers to a question that Earth scientists have been trying to understand for many years: how is oceanic crust that has been subducted deep into the Earth recycled back into volcanic rocks? view more (2008-08-13)
New 'near-field' radiation therapy promises relief for overheating laptops
Our modern age has become accustomed to regular improvements in information technology, says Slava Rotkin, but these advances do not come without a cost. view more (2009-04-14)
San Andreas earthquake observatory achieves milestone as drillers penetrate the active fault zone
The San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFOD) reached a significant goal on Aug. 2 when scientists drilled into a seismically active section of the fault approximately two miles below the surface of the Earth. view more (2005-08-04)
First complete image created of Himalayan fault, subduction zone
An international team of researchers has created the most complete seismic image of the Earth's crust and upper mantle beneath the rugged Himalaya Mountains, in the process discovering some unusual geologic features that may explain how the region has evolved. view more (2009-09-14)
Portuguese coastal levels always on the rise
Of a total of close to 80 percent of the coastal zones in the world that are undergoing a process of erosion, the Portuguese shore is one of those most affected, especially the zone between Ovar and Espinho. Facts such as the rise in the sea level, provoked by the climate changes that overheat the planet, are the origin of the problem, which is... view more... (2002-06-18)
Echo-sounding Techniques For Studying The "capturability" Of Tuna
In tropical oceans, it would be useful to know, for a given ecosystem, the distribution of tuna, which are vital resources for many countries. As part of a research programme, Ecotap (1) conducted in the French Polynesian Exclusive Economic Zone, scientists have used an acoustic probe to study directly and simultaneously the distribution of... view more...

Brain tumors may originate with neural stem cells, researchers say
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have determined that stem cells in a certain region of the brain may be the source of a particular type of incurable brain tumor and may be implicated in other types of brain cancers as well. view more (2005-08-16)
Prehypertension triples heart attack risk
People with prehypertension are at much higher risk of heart attack and heart disease, according to a study published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2005-08-05)
Climate changes locked inside microfossils
Fossilised remains of sea creatures are commonly found in rocks in the mountains of the Basque Country. So, at some time in the past, Euskal Herria was under the sea. For example, during the Palaeocene period, some 65-55 million years ago. The region was then subtropical, and similar in appearance to the Australian Coral Reef. view more (2004-03-04)
Ocean's 'twilight zone' plays important role in climate change
A major study has shed new light on the dim layer of the ocean called the "twilight zone"—where mysterious processes affect the ocean's ability to absorb and store carbon dioxide accumulating in our atmosphere. view more (2007-04-27)
Genetic background to severe urinary tract infections
If you sit on cold boulders or forget to wear your woollen underwear, you can develop a urinary tract infection. view more (2007-09-05)
Wobbly planets could reveal Earth-like moons
Moons outside our Solar System with the potential to support life have just become much easier to detect, thanks to research by an astronomer at University College London (UCL). view more (2008-12-12)
Oxygen-saturated blood reduces levels of damaged heart tissue following a heart attack
Results of a clinical trial published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions demonstrate that an infusion of blood that is "supersaturated" with oxygen (SS02) can reduce the amount of damaged heart muscle immediately following a life-threatening heart attack. view more (2009-09-16)
£180K for Plymouth to lead national coastal research networks
Researchers at the Universities of Plymouth, Strathclyde and Edinburgh have been awarded £180,000 from the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council to co-ordinate coastal engineering research across the UK into areas such as coastal defences, coastal flooding and erosion and the effects of global warming on the coastal zone. view more (2002-05-08)
Journey to the center of the earth: Discovery sheds light on mantle formation
Uncovering a rare, two-billion-year-old window into the Earth's mantle, a University of Houston professor and his team have found our planet's geological history is more complex than previously thought. view more (2008-04-11)
Astronomers discover record 5th planet around nearby star 55 Cancri
A team of American astronomers announced today (Tuesday, Nov. 6) the discovery of a record-breaking fifth planet around the nearby star 55 Cancri, making it the only star aside from the sun known to have five planets. view more (2007-11-07)
Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity
Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean. view more (2006-10-05)

What goes down, must come up: Earth's leaky mantle
A new analysis of the processes that constantly stir the Earth's deep mantle is helping to explain how the mantle holds onto a portion of ancient noble gases that were trapped during the Earth's formation. view more (2009-05-28)
Researchers: Molecular forklifts overcome obstacle to 'smart dust'
Algae is a livid green giveaway of nutrient pollution in a lake. Scientists would love to reproduce that action in tiny particles that would turn different colors if exposed to biological weapons, food spoilage or signs of poor health in the blood. view more (2009-01-20)
