UC Santa Barbara researchers light up 'dark' spins in diamond
Researchers at UC Santa Barbara have potentially opened up a new avenue toward room temperature quantum information processing. By demonstrating the ability to image and control single isolated electron spins in diamond, they unexpectedly discovered a new channel for transferring information to other surrounding spins - an initial step towards... view more...

Research Suggests New Options in Treating Skin Pigment Problems
Melanocytes are not the only cells responsible for differences in skin coloration. New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) has shown that some of the most basic cells on the skin's surface influence pigment production and help regulate skin coloration. view more (2007-08-23)
Environmental exposures may damage DNA in as few as 3 days
Exposure to particulate matter has been recognized as a contributing factor to lung cancer development for some time, but a new study indicates inhalation of certain particulates can actually cause some genes to become reprogrammed, affecting both the development and the outcome of cancers and other diseases. view more (2009-05-18)
Research suggests social factors behind higher schizophrenia rate in British African-Caribbeans
Unemployment and earlier separation from both parents may be key factors behind the higher rates of schizophrenia in British African-Caribbeans, according to new research by a scientist at The Centre for Caribbean Medicine, King's College London. view more (2002-06-19)

'Digital Dark Age' may doom some data
What stands a better chance of surviving 50 years from now, a framed photograph or a 10-megabyte digital photo file on your computer's hard drive? view more (2008-10-28)
Surprising results in teen study: adolescent risky behavior may signal mature brain
A new study using brain imaging to study teen behavior indicates that adolescents who engage in dangerous activities have frontal white matter tracts that are more adult in form than their more conservative peers. view more (2009-08-26)
Polarized light guides cholera-carrying midges that contaminate water supplies
Cholera is a major killer and since the first pandemic in the early 19th century it has claimed millions of lives. According to Amit Lerner from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, the lethal infection is harboured by an equally infamous insect: chironomids (midges). view more (2008-10-31)
Survey reveals British public don't know the difference between quarks and DNA - do you?
A survey commissioned by the Institute of Physics (IoP) has found that a staggering 98 percent of UK adults don't know what the world around us is made of. Just under two percent of those asked gave the right answer, quarks, the basic building blocks of all matter in the universe. The survey asked over 500 people what makes up the nucleus of an... view more... (2004-03-30)
Billions of particles of anti-matter created in laboratory
ake a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as positrons, shoots out of the target in a cone-shaped plasma "jet." view more (2008-11-18)
'Beyond Einstein' research should begin with mission to study dark energy
NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy should pursue the Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM) as the first mission in the "Beyond Einstein" program, according to a new report from the National Research Council. view more (2007-09-07)
Nanomaterials vulnerable to dispersal in natural environment
Laboratory experiments with a type of nanomaterial that has great promise for industrial use show significant potential for dispersal in aquatic environments - especially when natural organic materials are present. view more (2006-12-19)
BOSS: the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) uses a 2.5-meter telescope with a wider field of view than any other large telescope, located on a mountaintop in New Mexico called Apache Point and devoted solely to mapping the universe. view more (2008-09-22)
Discovery Prospects at the Large Hadron Collider
Will scientists ever find the elusive Higgs particle, the last of the fundamental particles predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and postulated to play a major role in how fundamental particles get their masses? view more (2006-04-25)
Dark energy may be vacuum
Researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Dark Cosmology Centre at the Niels Bohr Institute have brought us one step closer to understanding what the universe is made of. As part of the international collaboration ESSENCE they have observed distant supernovae (exploding stars), some of which emitted the light we now see more than half the age... view more...

University of Toronto archeologists discover temple that sheds light on so-called Dark Age
The discovery of a remarkably well-preserved monumental temple in Turkey -- thought to be constructed during the time of King Solomon in the 10th/9th-centuries BC -- sheds light on the so-called Dark Age. view more (2009-04-16)
Alterations in brain's white matter key to schizophrenia, UCLA study shows
Schizophrenia, a chronic and debilitating disorder marked in part by auditory hallucinations and paranoia, can strike in late adolescence or early adulthood at a time when people are ready to stand on their own two feet as fully independent adults. view more (2009-06-23)
