Cold Spring Harbor Scientists Devise Novel, Low-Cost Method of Sifting Genome's High-Value Regions
Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have developed a new means of extracting and interpreting data from the human genome that is more powerful and more economical than methods currently employed. view more (2007-11-07)
Scientists find the reason behind black holes' light shows
A team of astronomers led by the University of Michigan may know how black holes are lighting up the Universe. view more (2006-06-22)
A Jekyll and Hyde of cytokines: IL-25 both promotes and limits inflammatory diseases
The same signal responsible for promoting the type of immune responses that cause asthma and allergy can also limit the type of inflammation associated with debilitating diseases like inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and multiple sclerosis. view more (2006-04-10)
A brand new Microcar
The basque technological centre TEKNIKER has developed a brand new microcar to test all its capabilities in the micromanufacture. It is driven by an electric motor, the smallest in the market with an external diameter of 1.9 mm and longitude of 5 mm, a stator coil wound with 30 µm diameter wire and a rotor with permanent magnets. This micromotor... view more... (2004-07-29)
Robotics, laser and wireless technologies make driving safer for wheelchair users
Engineers at Lehigh and Carnegie Mellon universities, working with a Philadelphia-based start-up, have integrated robotics, laser and wireless technologies into a new system that promises to make it safer and cheaper for wheelchair users to drive a car. view more (2006-12-13)
Bumblebee house warming — it takes a village
Researchers have known that a key to the insects' success in adapting to cooler climates is their ability to maintain fairly stable body temperatures when flying to flowers. view more (2007-01-19)
New nano-method may help compress computer memory
A team of chemists at Brown University have devised a simple way to synthesize iron-platinum nanorods and nanowires while controlling both size and composition. Nanorods with uniform shape and magnetic alignment are one key to the next generation of high-density information storage, but have been difficult to make in bulk. view more (2007-06-25)
Taking the temperature of the no-fly zone
Flies, unlike humans, can't manipulate the temperature of their surroundings so they need to pick the best spot for flourishing. New Brandeis University research in this week's Nature reveals that they have internal thermosensors to help them. view more (2008-06-12)
Handle with care: Telomeres resemble DNA fragile sites
Telomeres, the repetitive sequences of DNA at the ends of linear chromosomes, have an important function: They protect vulnerable chromosome ends from molecular attack. view more (2009-07-10)
MIT device draws cells close — but not too close — together
In a popular children's game participants stand as close as possible without touching. But on a microscopic level, coaxing cells to be very, very close without actually touching one another has been among the most frustrating challenges for cell biologists. view more (2007-03-30)
e-Commerce Minister & Midlands SME First in Coffee Queue at New Cyber Café for Business
The DTI and the University of Warwick's Warwick Manufacturing Group have created a unique "cyber café for business" designed specifically for small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to explore, create and test drive e-business solutions to their business needs. There are two weeks to go until The National B2B Centre opens on... view more... (2002-12-05)
Study finds many people with hemianopia have difficulty detecting pedestrians while driving, advocates for individual testing
Schepens Eye Research Institute scientists have found that--when tested in a driving simulator--patients with hemianopia (blindness in one half of the visual field in both eyes) have significantly more difficulty detecting pedestrians (on their blind side) than normally sighted people. view more (2009-11-13)
Shape perception in brain develops by itself
Despite minimal exposure to the regular geometric objects found in developed countries, African tribal people perceive shapes as well as westerners, according to a new study. view more (2009-11-16)
Well over half a million UK elderly have poor eyesight
Well over half a million elderly people in the UK have poor eyesight, shows research in the British Journal of Ophthalmology. The level of impairment rises sharply with age, and most of those affected are women, the study shows. view more (2002-06-25)
University of Pennsylvania Chemists Reinvent the Science and Industry of Making Plastics
Chemists at the University of Pennsylvania have created a new process for free radical polymerization, the chemical reaction responsible for creating an enormous array of everyday plastic products, from Styrofoam cups to PVC tubing to car parts. view more (2006-10-13)
Migraine headaches & sexual desire may be linked
Contrary to the popular cliché, "Not tonight, I have a headache," new research suggests that not all headache sufferers avoid sexual activity. In fact, migraine sufferers reported higher levels of sexual desire than those with other types of headaches. view more (2006-06-12)
Space science technology takes airport security onto new level
A ground-breaking 'drive-through' scanner which screens for radioactive material is being developed to improve security at airports, ports and other significant buildings, thanks to a £99,000 investment from NESTA (the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), the organisation which invests in UK innovation. view more (2004-10-19)
A new magnetic phenomenon may improve RAM memories and the storage capacity of hard drives
The application of 'displaced vortex states'-small magnetic circular movements of just a few thousandths of a millimetre-may accelerate the arrival of a new type of magnetic memory (MRAM) that does not disappear when a computer is switched off. view more (2006-03-03)
Losing while cruising to the store
Contrary to what you might believe, living near a variety of restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets and even fast food outlets actually lowers your risk for obesity, according to a new study from the University of Utah. view more (2009-10-27)
Drivers on cell phones clog traffic
Motorists who talk on cell phones drive slower on the freeway, pass sluggish vehicles less often and take longer to complete their trips, according to a University of Utah study that suggests drivers on cell phones congest traffic. view more (2008-01-02)
