Town in danger of collapse
PRESS CONFERENCE: The University of Greenwich The Nottingham Trent University<;The Association for Battlefield Archaeology in Flanders.;Tuesday, December 12, 2000 at 10.30am. New research shows that a large part of a thriving Belgian town - and much of the surrounding area is in danger of collapse - and urgent action is needed to protect it. The... view more...

Neighbors from hell: Infanticide rife in guillemot colony
One of Britain's best-known species of seabird is increasingly attacking and killing unattended chicks from neighbouring nests due to food shortages. view more (2008-09-17)
Calculating penguins find the right mates
French scientists have discovered that king penguins have an innate mathematical ability which helps them find their mates among a crowd of tens of thousands of other penguins. view more (1999-08-20)
Royal corruption is rife in the ant world
Far from being a model of social co-operation, the ant world is riddled with cheating and corruption - and it goes all the way to the top, according to scientists from the Universities of Leeds and Copenhagen. view more (2008-03-12)
Fungus Foot Baths Could Save Bees
One of the biggest world wide threats to honey bees, the varroa mite, could soon be about to meet its nemesis. Researchers at the University of Warwick are examining naturally occurring fungi that kill the varroa mite. They are also exploring a range of ways to deliver the killer fungus throughout the hives from bee fungal foot baths to powder... view more... (2008-07-29)
UC San Diego Bioengineers Fill Holes in Science of Cellular Self-Organization
The chemical and biological aspects of cellular self-organization are well-studied; less well understood is how cell populations order themselves biomechanically - how their behavior and communication are affected by high density and physical proximity. view more (2008-10-07)
Seals quickly respond to gain and loss of habitat under climate change
Southern Elephant seals responded rapidly to climate and habitat change and established a new breeding site thousands of kilometres from existing breeding grounds, according to new research. view more (2009-07-10)
Research uncovers the social dynamics of yellow jackets
Michael Goodisman could be called the Maury Povich of the yellow jacket world. In his laboratory, Goodisman determines the paternity of yellow jackets to study family dynamics within a colony. Even though only one family lives within a colony, each yellow jacket queen mates with several males, creating a complex family tree. view more (2008-02-19)
Finding victims in post-disaster spaces
When earthquakes strike, people often get trapped in buildings. Search and rescue teams can pinpoint some victims using sniffer dogs and sensors. But a new European system that takes pictures during or after a building collapse promises to save many more lives. view more (2004-09-17)
What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time. view more (2005-04-13)
Heat forms potentially harmful substance in high-fructose corn syrup
Researchers have established the conditions that foster formation of potentially dangerous levels of a toxic substance in the high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) often fed to honey bees. view more (2009-10-15)

Birth of a star predicted
The astrophysicist João Alves, director of the Calar Alto Observatory in Almeria, and his colleague Andreas Bürkert, from the German observatory in the University of Munich, believe that "the inevitable future of the starless cloud Barnard 68" is to collapse and give rise to a new star, according to an article which has been... view more...

How social insects recognize dead nestmates
When an ant dies in an ant nest or near one, its body is quickly picked up by living ants and removed from the colony, thus limiting the risk of colony infection by pathogens from the corpse. view more (2009-05-06)
Volcanoes inner workings disclosed when the Earth moved
While volcanologists can see the dome of the Soufriere Hills Volcano on the island of Montserrat grow and collapse, it takes instrumentation to delve beneath the surface. view more (2005-08-10)
Pensioners` hospital unit saves NHS millions of pounds.
A study by Newcastle University has shown that a unique out-patient hospital facility for older patients has provided enormous savings for the NHS - equivalent to freeing up a whole ward for a year. The research showed the syncope (fainting) and falls day case facility at the Royal Victoria Infirmary (RVI) in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, helped... view more... (2002-09-03)
Being a standout has its benefits, study shows
Standing out in a crowd is better than blending in, at least if you're a paper wasp in a colony where fights between nest-mates determine social status. view more (2009-10-16)
Worker ants of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your fertility
The highly specialized worker castes in ants represent the pinnacle of social organization in the insect world. As in any society, however, ant colonies are filled with internal strife and conflict. So what binds them together? More than 150 years ago, Charles Darwin had an idea and now he's been proven right. view more (2008-11-20)
First direct evidence that human activity is linked to Antarctic Ice Shelf collapse
The first direct evidence linking human activity to the collapse of Antarctic ice shelves is published this week in the Journal of Climate. view more (2006-10-17)
Slow-motion earthquake testing probes how buildings collapse in quakes
It takes just seconds for tall buildings to collapse during powerful earthquakes. Knowing precisely what's happening in those seconds can help engineers design buildings that are less prone to sustaining that kind of damage. view more (2009-08-26)
