Old pulsars still have new tricks to teach us
The super-sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has shown that the prevailing theory of how stellar corpses, known as pulsars, generate their X-rays needs revising. view more (2006-07-26)
Passage graves from an astronomical perspective
Passage graves are mysterious barrows from the Stone Age. New research from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen indicates that the Stone Age graves' orientation in the landscape could have an astronomical explanation. view more (2008-12-19)
Catching waves: Measuring self-assembly in action
By making careful observations of the growth of a layer of molecules as they gradually cover the surface of a small silicon rectangle, researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and North Carolina State University (NCSU) have gained basic insights into how self-propagating self-assembly wave fronts develop and have... view more...

Italian, US cosmologists present alternate explanation for accelerating expansion of the universe: Was Einstein right when he said he was wrong?
Why is the universe expanding at an accelerating rate, spreading its contents over ever greater dimensions of space? An original solution to this puzzle, certainly the most fascinating question in modern cosmology, was put forward by four theoretical physicists, Edward W. Kolb of the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator... view more... (2005-03-16)
Mathematics simplifies sleep monitoring
A UQ researcher has created a new way to measure breathing patterns in sleeping infants which may also work for adults. view more (2008-05-08)
Princeton physicists connect string theory with established physics
String theory, simultaneously one of the most promising and controversial ideas in modern physics, may be more capable of helping probe the inner workings of subatomic particles than was previously thought, according to a team of Princeton University scientists. view more (2007-05-03)
First view of a newborn millisecond pulsar?
Combining Hubble Space Telescope images with radio observations has revealed a highly unusual system consisting of a fast spinning pulsar and a bloated red companion star. The existence of the system is something of a mystery - the best explanation so far is that we have our first view of a millisecond pulsar just after it has been `spun up` by... view more...

VIDEO IMAGES COULD HELP SPEED UP CITY TRAFFIC
Current methods of traffic control are normally based on inductive loops placed in the road on approaches to traffic lights, to sense the presence of approaching vehicles. Inductive loops are expensive to install and are prone to damage, while also giving limited information about traffic conditions. view more (1999-09-14)
U-M discovery about biological clocks overturns long-held theory
University of Michigan mathematicians and their British colleagues say they have identified the signal that the brain sends to the rest of the body to control biological rhythms, a finding that overturns a long-held theory about our internal clock. view more (2009-10-09)
Autism's social struggles due to disrupted communication networks in brain
Picking up on innuendo and social cues is a central component of engaging in conversation, but people with autism often struggle to determine another person's intentions in a social interaction. view more (2008-07-24)
Research casts doubt on controversial scientific theory
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have cast doubt on the validity of the controversial theory of biological cold fusion, the principle sometimes used to lend credence to the practice of selling silicon tablets to strengthen bones, on the assumption that the body will turn the silicon into calcium. view more (2003-05-07)
Involving Service Users Bridges The Theory-Practice Gap
Psychological treatments for mental health problems that look promising in theory are often a disappointment when applied in the real world. A growing number of services and researchers are consulting the users of mental health services in an attempt to bridge this gap between theory and practice. A group of psychologists from the University of... view more... (2004-04-16)
Rutgers Research: Discoveries Shed New Light on How the Brain Processes What the Eye Sees
Researchers at the Center for Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience (CMBN) at Rutgers University in Newark have identified the need to develop a new framework for understanding "perceptual stability" and how we see the world with their discovery that visual input obtained during eye movements is being processed by the brain but blocked... view more...

MIT closes in on bionic speed
Robots, both large and micro, can potentially go wherever it's too hot, cold, dangerous, small or remote for people to perform any number of important tasks, from repairing leaking water mains to stitching blood vessels together. view more (2005-11-08)
XMM-Newton and Suzaku help pioneer method for probing exotic matter
Astronomers using XMM-Newton and Suzaku have seen Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time and pioneered a ground-breaking technique for determining the properties of neutron stars. view more (2007-08-28)
Climate protocol may save Amazon region
If Brazil gets a climate protocol, like the Kyoto Protocol for the rich countries, it will be possible to create an incentive for the country to reduce the deforestation of the Amazon region. The Kyoto Protocol targets a reduction of emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. In a new study, Martin Persson, in collaboration with Christian... view more... (2004-05-28)
A Newtonian system that mimics the baldness of rotating black holes
The rotating black hole has been described as one of nature's most perfect objects. view more (2009-02-24)
Exercise-Exposed Fetuses Have Improved Breathing Movements In Utero, A Marker For Healthy Development
Exercise has many benefits for adults, teens, and youngsters. It is less clear what benefit, if any, exercise may have during fetal growth during gestation. view more (2009-04-17)
MIT solves 100-year-old engineering problem
As a car accelerates up and down a hill then slows to follow a hairpin turn, the airflow around it cannot keep up and detaches from the vehicle. This aerodynamic separation creates additional drag that slows the car and forces the engine to work harder. The same phenomenon affects airplanes, boats, submarines, and even your golf ball. view more (2008-09-26)
New theory for mass extinctions
A new theory on just what causes Earth's worst mass extinctions may help settle the endless scientific dust-up on the matter. view more (2006-10-25)
