'Cooper pairs' can be found in insulators as well superconductors
Nearly a century ago, Dutch physicist Kamerlingh Onnes discovered that some metals transform into perfect electrical conductors when cooled to temperatures near absolute zero. Once started, their currents of electrons can flow perpetually.   view more (2007-11-26)

Making sense of ADHD
The research team studied 4000 school children in two age groups, either seven to eight years or 13-14 years. Case studies were carried out on triplets of children, parents and teachers. Although all members of each triplet tended to favour 'within child' explanations as contributing towards... view more (2001-08-31)

A University of Arizona physicist has discovered that powerful magnetic fields change the physical nature of superconductivity.   view more (2006-08-17)

Newly discovered 'superinsulators' promise to transform materials research, electronics design
Superinsulation may sound like a marketing gimmick for a drafty attic or winter coat. But it is actually a newly discovered fundamental state of matter created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with several European institutions.   view more (2008-04-09)

Increasing evidence that osteoporosis begins in the womb
Recent evidence to suggest that osteoporosis has its origins in the womb will be presented by leading expert, Professor Cyrus Cooper, when he speaks at a symposium on osteoporosis at FOAD 2003, the Second World Congress on the Fetal Origins of Adult Diseases (FOAD), which takes place at the... view more (2003-05-22)

There is a strong genetic component to the gluten intolerance disorder, coeliac disease, shows research in Gut.   view more (2002-04-09)

Labour Predictor device secures venture capital boost
A prototype of the unique device for pregnant women that will accurately predict the onset of labour is expected within six months, following the announcement of a substantial investment led by entrepreneur and business angel, Graham Cooper. Cooper, who lives in Cumbria, has joined Jopejo Ltd as... view more (2002-01-10)

NEW SERIES ON PRE-ECLAMPSIA (p 53)
This week's issue of THE LANCET features the first in a series of three articles about pre-eclampsia - the serious condition occuring in pregnant women characterised by high blood pressure which puts both mother and child at risk of illness and/or death. If all cases of pre-eclampsia and its... view more (2001-01-03)

Are Too Many Lungs Not Being Considered For Transplantation? (p 621)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that new scientific evidence is required to clarify the criteria for assessing potential lung donors. More than 85% of lungs are considered unsuitable for transplantation. Lorraine Ware from Vanderbilt University School of... view more (2002-08-21)

Complex order parameter in ruthenate superconductors confirmed
Since it was discovered to be superconducting over a decade ago, the pairing symmetry of strontium ruthenium oxide has been widely explored and debated. Now, a team of researchers led by Dale Van Harlingen at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign say the debate is over.   view more (2006-11-28)

Acid reflux is not just caused by lager and curry, but also our genes
Almost half the chance of developing acid reflux, which doctors refer to as GORD, may be down to our genes, and not just what we eat and drink, a twin study in Gut suggests. Acid reflux (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) is one of the most common digestive disorders in the developed world. It is... view more (2003-07-11)

First trimester use of ACE inhibitors implicated in birth defects
The Food and Drug Administration is examining study data from Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers, published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, to determine if new warnings should be placed on common blood pressure medications indicating an increased risk of birth... view more (2006-06-08)

Loopy photons clarify 'spookiness' of quantum physics
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Joint Quantum Institute (NIST/University of Maryland) have developed a new method for creating pairs of entangled photons, particles of light whose properties are interlinked in a very unusual way dictated by the rules... view more (2008-03-19)

Computers in the classrooom: girls lose out in the boy zone
Boys dominate computers in the classroom, and young girls still see the computer as predominantly a 'male preserve' according to research presented today, Tuesday 15 December, to The British Psychological Society's London Conference, held at the Institute of Education, by psychologists Dr Helen... view more (1998-12-03)

Scientists reveal effects of quantum 'traffic jam' in high-temperature superconductors
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory, in collaboration with colleagues at Cornell University, Tokyo University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Colorado, have uncovered the first experimental evidence for why the transition... view more (2008-08-28)

World`s Largest Model of DNA at the Tomorrow`s World Roadshow
The largest model of DNA in the world will be constructed at the Tomorrow`s World Roadshow at Earls Court London on 10 -13 of July. The current Guinness World Record'¤ breaking model will grow even further and is expected to break its own record. The finished model is expected to contain 300 base... view more (2002-07-05)

X-ray Science gets a further £3.4M
A world-leading UK research project to study the properties of new materials has been given further funding of £3.4M. The grant is for the continued operation of the British funded X-ray Beamline ( XMaS - X-ray Magnetic Scattering) based at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility at... view more (2002-05-28)

UT-ORNL researchers take step toward understanding superconductivity
A research group at the University of Tennessee and Oak Ridge National Laboratory led by physics professor Pengcheng Dai, along with collaborators at Boston College, has taken a step toward understanding a great physical mystery.   view more (2007-12-26)

Who found some new mechanisms of HBV virulence?
This dreadful HBV is small in size. The genome of this virus is a partial double stranded circle. When made fully double stranded, this genome carries about 3000 base pairs, compared to 200 kilo base pairs of the genome of the smallpox virus.   view more (2008-02-25)

Duck-billed dinosaurs outgrew predators to survive
With long limbs and a soft body, the duck-billed hadrosaur had few defenses against predators such as tyrannosaurs. But new research on the bones of this plant-eating dinosaur suggests that it had at least one advantage: It grew to adulthood much faster than its predators, giving it superiority in... view more (2008-08-06)
