Vibrating computer games should carry health warnings
Prolonged use of vibrating computer games by children may be linked to a condition known as hand-arm vibration syndrome and should carry health warnings, suggest researchers in this week's BMJ.   view more (2002-01-30)

Computer-aided detection could help breast cancer screening
A novel approach to reading mammograms with the help of a computer could free up hundreds of medical man-hours, as well as speeding-up the breast screening process.   view more (2006-09-27)

Penn researcher uses computer-based screening to help identify domestic violence victims
Although victims of domestic violence frequently seek out care in hospital emergency departments, the abuse is rarely identified by department staff and the issue is often not broached. Experts attribute this to clinicians who are reluctant to discuss this sensitive topic, combined with the time... view more (2006-05-24)

The mathematics of a lampshade
Try to solve the following maths problem: does x^3+y^2+1 produce the same form as x^3+3y^2+xy^2? For cubic equations, it’s possible to solve this problem, but mathematicians found things more difficult in the case of equations of the fourth order such as x^4+y^3+2y^2=3, a curve shaped like a... view more (2001-05-30)

They've got some bottle!
Psychologists have designed a unique computer-based test that measures nurses' 'bottle' - their ability to make difficult decisions and act on them whilst under pressure. Dr Raymond Randall and Jonathan Houdmont from the Institute of Work, Health & Organisations, University of Nottingham and... view more (2004-01-07)

Tug-of-cell war
Researchers at the School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee have made an exciting new discovery on how cells regulate themselves and prevent cancer as reported in Nature tomorrow (Wednesday).

Gendered division of labor gave modern humans advantage over Neanderthals
Diversified social roles for men, women, and children may have given Homo sapiens an advantage over Neanderthals, says a new study in the December 2006 issue of Current Anthropology.   view more (2006-12-05)

New spin out company offers solution for chemicals industry problem
A new company is helping to solve a 20-year problem in the chemicals industry. Enviresearch, a Newcastle University 'spin-out', uses computer models to determine whether chemicals are environmentally friendly. The British Government demands that chemicals undergo a rigorous testing programme,... view more (2002-10-22)

The game of darts grows up
Why should throwing pointed darts at a target board be solely a bar amusement? Unlike cricket, one of the other national sports in Britain, darts has long since established itself on the continent: It was introduced to Germany in the 1970’s by stationed British soldiers. As it became more... view more (2002-09-09)

Quantum information now readable
Chalmers researchers in Sweden, in an EU project involving colleagues from France, Holland, Germany, Italy and Finland, have shown that outdata from superconductor quantum computers can be read directly, even though the signal consists only of the presence or absence of two electrons, a so-called... view more (2002-04-08)

Plug 'n play in home networks
Today, music, images and videos are usually stored in digital form. But each medium needs its own playback device. In a networked home, different types of media can be smoothly interchanged and played back thanks to the UPnP standard.   view more (2004-10-04)

Scientists crack genetic secrets of human egg
The human egg's ability to transform into a new life, or into new cells that may someday save lives, is well documented. The mystery lies in the mechanics-in how a single cell can transform so nimbly.   view more (2006-09-06)
