Gamma-ray photon race ends in dead heat; Einstein wins this round
Racing across the universe for the last 7.3 billion years, two gamma-ray photons arrived at NASA's orbiting Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope within nine-tenths of a second of one another.   view more (2009-10-29)

Physiological response may explain why some severely obese patients overeat
Don't feel like you are getting full when eating a large meal? New research from The Miriam Hospital suggests that a physiological response may partially explain why severely obese individuals may not feel satisfied after eating and often have difficulty controlling the amount of food they consume during a meal.   view more (2009-06-10)

Collaboration of soloists makes the best science
For the success of a major research university, which is better: large, well-funded laboratory empires with many investigators working toward the same end, or the individual scientist toiling alone in his own laboratory or at his own desk?   view more (2008-12-05)

Developing better methods of 'blinding' doctors and patients in clinical trials
When trials are carried out to assess the effectiveness of a drug, it is an important to have a control group of patients who are not given the drug.   view more (2006-10-31)

Silvereye birds help scientists to settle disputed evolutionary theory
A study of birds on Pacific islands shows conclusively that the formation of new species is a gradual and not a sudden process, according to biologists from the UK, France, Australia and the USA writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences today (28 May issue). The `founder effect` theory, a controversial idea among biologists,... view more... (2002-05-27)

Students who believe intelligence can be developed perform better
Research on how junior high school students' beliefs about intelligence affect their math grades found that those who believed that intelligence can be developed performed better than those who believed intelligence is fixed.   view more (2007-02-07)

Fluid theory confirmed by Foton
n scientific research, there is great satisfaction when theoretical work is eventually supported by experimentation. Such was the case this week for a team of Italian and US scientists when they received preliminary confirmation of a 10-year-old theory from a fluid science experiment that is currently orbiting the Earth on the Foton-M3 spacecraft.   view more (2007-09-26)

Physicists and engineers search for new dimension
The universe as we currently know it is made up of three dimensions of space and one of time, but researchers in the Department of Physics and the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech are exploring the possibility of an extra dimension.   view more (2008-03-11)

Engineers study brain folding in higher mammals
Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis are finding common ground between the shaping of the brain and the heart during embryonic development.   view more (2007-10-02)

Our Mind Electric?
Are our thoughts made of electricity? Not the familiar kind of electrical signals that travel up and down wires in our computer or nerves in our brain, but the distributed kind of electromagnetic field that permeates space and carries the broadcast signal to the TV or radio. Professor Johnjoe McFadden from the School of Biomedical and Life... view more... (2002-05-14)

Next Stop: The Fourth Dimension
How did the universe come to be? What is it made of? What is mass? Can science prove that there are other dimensions?   view more (2008-09-04)

New understanding of the origin of galaxies advanced
A new theory as to how galaxies were formed in the Universe billions of years ago has been formulated by Hebrew University of Jerusalem cosmologists. The theory takes issue with the prevailing view on how the galaxies came to exist.   view more (2009-01-22)

Study finds injectable birth control causes significant weight gain and changes in body mass
Women using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), commonly known as the birth control shot, gained an average of 11 pounds and increased their body fat by 3.4 percent over three years, according to researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB).   view more (2009-03-05)

Cardiff researchers could herald a new era in fundamental physics
Cardiff University researchers who are part of a British-German team searching the depths of space to study gravitational waves, may have stumbled on one of the most important discoveries in physics according to an American physicist.   view more (2009-02-04)

Autism theory put to the test with new technology
Next time you lose your car keys and enlist the family to help you search, try a little experiment. After your spouse searches an area, go and look in the same place.   view more (2007-06-28)

'Pachinko chances' - New theory suggests that human metabolism works like a pachinko pinball machine and may explain adverse effects of drugs
Scientists from Imperial College London and AstraZeneca have advanced a new theory that animal and human metabolisms often work like a Japanese Pachinko type pinball machine. The researchers used the new science of metabonomics to look at global human metabolism, and how it might interact with certain drugs, the environment and the gut... view more... (2003-07-31)

Einstein scientists propose new theory of autism
Scientists at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have proposed a sweeping new theory of autism that suggests that the brains of people with autism are structurally normal but dysregulated, meaning symptoms of the disorder might be reversible.   view more (2009-04-02)

New theory explains enhanced superconductivity in nanowires
Superconducting wires are used in magnetic resonance imaging machines, high-speed magnetic-levitation trains, and in sensitive devices that detect variations in the magnetic field of a brain.   view more (2006-10-19)
