MDCT using dual energy setting may make CT colonography more 'patient-friendly'
MDCT performed with a dual energy setting may allow enhanced differentiation of polyps from fecal matter in an unprepped colon, meaning patients may be able to skip the uncomfortable colonic preparation before CT colonography. view more (2007-05-07)
Cassini on the trail of a runaway mystery
Scientists are on the trail of Iapetus' mysterious dark side, which seems to be home to a bizarre 'runaway' process that is transporting vaporised water ice from the dark areas to the white areas of the Saturnian moon. view more (2007-10-10)
Structural basis for photoswitching in fluorescent proteins brought into focus
University of Oregon scientists have identified molecular features that determine the light-emitting ability green fluorescent proteins, and by strategically inserting a single oxygen atom they were able to keep the lights turned off for up to 65 hours. view more (2007-04-11)
Major physics breakthrough in understanding supersolidity
Physicists at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, have made a major advance in the understanding of what appears to be a new state of matter. view more (2007-12-06)
Astronomy's bright future
To mark UNESCO's International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009), six leading astronomers from the UK, the US, Europe and Asia write in March's Physics World about the biggest challenges and opportunities facing international astronomers over the next couple of decades. view more (2009-03-02)
Controversial findings help explain evolution of life
Chemists at Oregon State University have pioneered a controversial theory about how supposedly-stable DNA bases can be pushed into a "dark state" in which they are highly vulnerable to damage from ultraviolet radiation - an idea that has challenged some of the most basic concepts of modern biochemistry. view more (2006-04-07)
Researchers study role of natural organic matter in environment
The decomposition of plant, animal and microbial material in soil and water produces a variety of complex organic molecules, collectively called natural organic matter. These compounds play many important roles in the environment. view more (2006-12-12)
EUROCORES conference gives cold quantum matter a European twist
Quantum matter has long fascinated the science community as many completely new physical phenomena have emerged from this field. Cold quantum matter can be used for applications such as high-precision clocks, which may run only one second behind per three million years! view more (2008-05-06)
Skin cancer rare - but more deadly - in people with darker skin
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) shows that dark-skinned people-commonly thought to be "immune" to most skin cancers-are more likely than whites to die from skin cancer and its related complications. view more (2006-07-28)
Carnegie Mellon scientists offer explanation for 'face blindness'
For the first time, scientists have been able to map the disruption in neural circuitry of people suffering from congenital prosopagnosia, sometimes known as face blindness, and have been able to offer a biological explanation for this intriguing disorder. view more (2008-11-26)
What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time. view more (2005-04-13)
Diffusion Tensor Imaging Allows Radiologists to See Areas of the Brain Rarely Seen Using Other Imaging Modalities
Radiologists are now able to look at parts of the brain using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) that are rarely visible with any other imaging method, according to a study performed at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA.

GEO600 starts continuous search for Gravitational Waves
The joint German-British Gravitational Wave Detector GEO600 has now entered an 18-month run of continuous measurement. view more (2006-06-27)
Water-diffusion technology identifies brain regions damaged by prenatal alcohol exposure
Scientists know that children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often have structural brain damage. Yet little is known about how white matter connections, and deep gray matter structures that act as relay stations, are affected in children with FASD. view more (2008-07-21)
Iowa State astrophysicist helps map the Milky Way's four spiral arms
Iowa State University's Martin Pohl is part of a research team that has developed the first complete map of the Milky Way galaxy's spiral arms. view more (2009-01-05)
New fruit fly protein illuminates circadian response to light
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have identified a new protein required for the circadian response to light in fruit flies. view more (2006-06-30)
Caltech, JPL scientists say that microbial mats built 3.4-billion-year-old stromatolites
Stromatolites are dome- or column-like sedimentary rock structures that are formed in shallow water, layer by layer, over long periods of geologic time. view more (2009-07-17)
'Dark Cells' of Living Retina Imaged for the First Time
A layer of "dark cells" in the retina that is responsible for maintaining the health of the light-sensing cells in our eyes has been imaged in a living retina for the first time. view more (2009-02-26)
The crew will soon be able to watch you from the cockpit
AIRBUS, the European jet manufacturer, is planning to build concealed cameras into the light fittings above the seats in its aircraft. The idea is to let the crew monitor passengers and spot hijackers before they strike. The cameras also work in the dark. The move is part of an attempt to reassure... view more... (2002-05-08)
Imaging shows structural changes in mild traumatic brain injury
Researchers report that diffusion tensor imaging can identify structural changes in the white matter of the brain that correlates to cognitive deficits even in patients with mild traumatic brain injury. view more (2007-10-26)
