Cleveland Clinic leading clinical program to improve early-stage lung cancer detection
Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer. View More (2007-11-27)
`Quiet` star wasn`t quiet after all, say astronomers
For more than two years the star was `quiet`. Or so astronomers thought. But the X-ray pulsar EXO 2030+375 was abuzz with activity. Scientists simply lacked the ability to `hear` it over the hum of a nearby black hole. Now a study by scientists at the University of Southampton, the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) in Huntsville USA, and the University of Valencia in Spain,...

Prototype represents a step toward enhanced soft-tissue tomography
A promising approach for producing medical images with enhanced soft tissue visibility - grating-based x-ray phase contrast-has now advanced from bench-top studies to implementation in an in vivo preclinical computed tomography scanner. View More (2012-09-11)
X-Ray Vision Of Violence In Interacting Galaxy Clusters
ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY PRESS NOTICE: Ongoing research by an international team of astronomers is providing new insights into cataclysmic cosmic collisions between galaxy clusters. View More (2005-03-31)
Small distant galaxies host supermassive black holes
Using the Hubble Space Telescope to probe the distant universe, astronomers have found supermassive black holes growing in surprisingly small galaxies. The findings suggest that central black holes formed at an early stage in galaxy evolution. View More (2011-09-16)
German Science Council Recommends International Accelerator Project TESLA
The German Science Council, an agency of the German government, assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with international partners to, be worthy of support under certain conditions. The assessments of nine appraised large scale facilities for basic research in the natural sciences have been published today. "We are very glad that the Science Council changed...

Study is first to link viewing of sexual content on TV to subsequent teen pregnancy
Adolescents who have high levels of exposure to television programs that contain sexual content are twice as likely to be involved in a pregnancy over the following three years as their peers who watch few such shows, according to a new RAND Corporation study. View More (2008-11-03)
Newly discovered planet may have water on its surface
A team of astronomers that includes the University of Hawaiʻi' at Manoa's Nader Haghighipour has announced the discovery of a planet that could have liquid water on its surface. View More (2010-10-01)
Fear no supernova
Given the incredible amounts of energy in a supernova explosion - as much as the sun creates during its entire lifetime - another erroneous doomsday theory is that such an explosion could happen in 2012 and harm life on Earth. View More (2011-12-19)
Combined imaging technologies may better identify cancerous breast lesions
By combining optical and x-ray imaging, radiologists may be better able to distinguish cancer from benign lesions in the breast, according to a new study published in the online edition and January issue of Radiology. View More (2010-11-09)
Non-Destructive Residual Stress Analysis
Every manufacturing process, from casting and forging, to machining and finishing, induces residual stresses in components. For critical components, such as aircraft wings and turbine blades, these stresses affect the durability and lifetime of the structures and assemblies. Current methods are either destructive (e.g. hole drilling), limited to the surface (laboratory X-ray), or rely on large... View More (2004-03-11)
Enceladus rains water onto Saturn
ESA's Herschel space observatory has shown that water expelled from the moon Enceladus forms a giant torus of water vapour around Saturn. The discovery solves a 14-year mystery by identifying the source of the water in Saturn's upper atmosphere. View More (2011-07-27)
Star eats companion
ESA's Integral space observatory, together with NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer spacecraft, has found a fast-spinning pulsar in the process of devouring its companion. View More (2005-09-07)
Doctors commonly fail to detect lung cancer on chest x-ray films
Failure to detect lung cancer on chest x-rays is not uncommon, reveals research in Postgraduate Medical Journal. The ensuing delay in diagnosis and the start of treatment may contribute to some of the lowest survival rates in Europe for the disease, say the authors. View More (2002-03-04)
A first experiment with the new "free-electron laser"
An international group of scientists has published first experiments carried out using the new soft X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) at the research center DESY (Nature, vol 420, p 482-485 and p 467). Using small clusters of noble gas atoms, for the first time, researchers studied the interaction of matter with intense X-ray radiation from an FEL on extremely short time scales. "We use noble gas... View More (2002-12-05)
A Stellar Explosion You Could See on Earth!
Astronomers are familiar with seeing amazing things through their telescopes. But nothing prepared them for an incredible explosion detected early Wednesday morning by NASA's Swift satellite. At 2:12 a.m. EDT, Swift detected an explosion from deep space that was so powerful that its afterglow was briefly visible to the naked eye. Even more astonishing, the explosion itself took place halfway... View More (2008-03-24)
Unravelling a cosmic mystery-scientists discover the Universe's strongest magnetic field
Scientists from The University of Exeter and the International University, Bremen have discovered what is thought to be the strongest magnetic field in the Universe. View More (2006-03-31)

Arecibo joins global network to create 6,000-mile telescope
On May 22, Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico joined other telescopes in North America, South America, Europe and Africa in simultaneously observing the same targets, simulating a telescope more than 6,800 miles (almost 11,000 kilometers) in diameter. View More (2008-06-11)
Groundbreaking study on complex movements of enzymes
A groundbreaking study has revealed in great detail how enzymes in the cell cooperate to make fat. These enzymes are integrated into a single molecular complex known as fatty acid synthase. This complex is regarded as a potential target for developing new anti-obesity and anti-cancer drugs. View More (2009-02-12)
