Leading the pack in following the herd
A few in the know can lead the many, according to new research into travelling animal groups carried out by the universities of Leeds and Oxford. Crowds of Leeds biology undergraduates will be observed to test their theory later this year.   view more (2005-02-23)

House dust mite project aims to reduce asthma
A promising new way of controlling the mites that can cause asthma and other allergies is now under development. It could lead to dramatic progress in preventing these conditions and reduce the estimated £700 million a year spent in the UK on treating them. The technique uses a computer model to assess how modifying a domestic environment... view more... (2004-02-05)

Road rage and computer rage may be the same
Research has shown that a key factor in road rage incidents is frustration caused by having one's goals blocked. Now a new study shows that experiences of computer rage may be related to similar factors.   view more (2005-03-21)

New understanding of blades to lead to better cutting of super-hard high tech materials
