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)

Global warming increases species extinctions worldwide
Global warming has already caused extinctions in the most sensitive habitats and will continue to cause more species to go extinct over the next 50 to 100 years, confirms the most comprehensive study since 2003 on the effects of climate change on wild species worldwide by a University of Texas at Austin biologist.   view more (2006-11-15)

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) scientists recently led a team of researchers to study potential effects of space radiation on astronauts.   view more (2007-12-12)

Mountain-building process much faster - and cooler - than previously thought, say Queen's geologists
Geologists at Queen's University have discovered that the time it takes for mountain ranges to form is millions of years shorter than previously thought.   view more (2005-07-01)

University of Minnesota astronomers find gaping hole in the Universe
University of Minnesota astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies and gas, as well as the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new... view more... (2007-08-24)

IS THE AMERICAN LEADERSHIP IN CLINICAL MEDICINE RESEARCH DECLINING? A CITATION ANALYSIS
Citation analysis is a powerful measurement of the scientific impact of medical papers. All papers which were published in journals of general and internal medicine (such as the Lancet or the New England Journal of Medicine), the citations which attracted and their impact (citations divided by number of papers) were analyzed according to country... view more...

Shorter colds, milder flu may follow from newly revealed immune mechanism
Enlisted to help fight viral infections, immune cells called macrophages consume virus-infected cells to stop the spread of the disease in the body.   view more (2005-10-10)

Fossilized midges provide clues to future climate change
Fossilised midges have helped scientists at the University of Liverpool identify two episodes of abrupt climate change that suggest the UK climate is not as stable as previously thought.   view more (2007-07-10)

1 of deep ocean's most turbulent areas has big impact on climate
More than a mile beneath the Atlantic's surface, roughly halfway between New York and Portugal, seawater rushing through the narrow gullies of an underwater mountain range much as winds gust between a city's tall buildings is generating one of the most turbulent areas ever observed in the deep ocean.   view more (2007-08-10)

Newborn lambs' central heating system could aid fat busting in humans
The way newborn lambs regulate their temperature in the first few weeks of life using a special deposit of brown fat could give clues for tackling obesity in humans, according to Imperial College London scientists. Unlike normal white fat that stores surplus energy, brown fat generates heat in response to cold or excess caloric intake. While some... view more... (2004-04-14)

Seismologists see Earth's interior as interplay between temperature, pressure and chemistry
Seismologists in recent years have recast their understanding of the inner workings of Earth from a relatively benign homogeneous environment to one that is highly dynamic and chemically diverse.   view more (2007-10-26)

Turtles alter nesting dates due to temperature change says ISU researcher
Turtles nesting along the Mississippi River and other areas are altering their nesting dates in response to rising temperatures, says a researcher from Iowa State University.   view more (2008-11-07)

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)

The overall channels of the lightning discharges

Predetermined winners and losers in the Ice Age extinction game
The Quaternary ice ages caused severe decimation of the European tree flora. Of the diverse pre-Ice Age tree flora only a minority of the genera are still widespread in Europe. Most of the remainder have been lost altogether from the European flora and now only occurs in Asia and/or North America, although some persist as relicts in southern... view more... (2003-07-02)

Daily dose of color may boost immunity this flu season
Hoping to keep the flu at bay? A strong immune system helps. Enjoying the bounty of colorful fruits and vegetables available right now can be an important step toward supporting your family's immune system this cold/flu season.   view more (2009-11-04)

Study shows how herpes infects cornea, evades immune cells
Herpes virus has an unusual strategy for infecting cornea cells that may also explain how it evades the immune system, according to a study by researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine.   view more (2006-09-26)

These were the findings of a study published today, Thursday, 9 September 1999, in the British Journal of Developmental Psychology , by Dr Jon Sutton, Professor Peter Smith and Dr John Swettenham of Goldsmiths College, University of London.   view more (1999-09-02)

Wintertime, and the thinking is easy
Although people tend to be more depressed in winter, there is some evidence that their thinking skills may actually improve during the cold, dark months - according to new research by Tim Brennen, reported today, Tuesday 21 December, at The British Psychological Society's London Conference, held at the Institute of Education.   view more (1999-12-16)

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory scientists discover new gene that prevents multiple types of cancer
A decades-old cancer mystery has been solved by researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL). "We not only found a critical tumor suppressor gene, but have revealed a master switch for a tumor suppressive network that means more targeted and effective cancer therapy in the future," said CSHL Associate Professor Alea Mills, Ph.D.... view more...
