The number of girls taking AS and A Level physics continues to fall
Figures released today (14 August 2003) show that the number of girls taking AS and A Level physics fell again, continuing a general downward trend in physics entries. The Institute of Physics is particularly concerned about the big drop in the number of girls taking AS Level physics - a 9% decrease compared to 2002. This has dire implications for... view more...

Novel Health Food Composition Proves Highly Effective
A more than 50 % increase in the life span of Zucker rats, a commonly used animal model for human obesity, was seen by enrichment of unhealthy food with a novel combination of plant sterols and mineral nutrients. Extensive studies in the University of Helsinki have shown that the increase in life span is mainly due to the ability of this new... view more... (2004-11-04)
Research shows women's weight gain brings loss of income, job prestige
An increase in a woman's body mass results in a decrease in her family income and a decline in her occupational prestige, according to research conducted by New York University sociologist Dalton Conley and Rebecca Glauber, an NYU graduate student. The study was sponsored by the Cambridge, MA-based National Bureau of Economic Research. view more (2005-05-26)

New possibilities for drug design
An article in Journal of Physics B, published on 7 July 2003 by the Institute of Physics, reports on a new technique which could in future help scientists working in rational drug design (a way of tailoring a new drug to fit the structure of the protein it targets) to develop drugs more efficiently. The work, which was on a molecule called... view more... (2003-07-04)
