Deep and Crisp and Eaten: Scotland's Deep- Fried Mars Bar
Scotland has had a reputation as the home of the deep-fried Mars bar for many years. Researchers Dr Mark Petticrew, from the University of Glasgow, and Dr David Morrison had never actually seen them for sale but after a recent mention by Jay Leno, host of NBC's Tonight Show they set out to find if... view more (2004-12-17)

NASA's Deep Impact Craft Observes Major Comet 'Outburst'
NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft observed a massive, short-lived outburst of ice or other particles from comet Tempel 1 that temporarily expanded the size and reflectivity of the cloud of dust and gas (coma) that surrounds the comet nucleus.   view more (2005-06-29)

Chip pan fires responsible for one in four UK non-fatal fire injuries
One in two poor families could be at high risk of a house fire because they still deep fry food, especially chips, finds a study in Injury Prevention.   view more (2002-12-03)

NASA's 'Deep Impact' Team Reports First Evidence of Cometary Ice
Comet Tempel 1, which created a flamboyant Fourth of July fireworks display in space last year, is covered with a small amount of water ice.   view more (2006-02-03)

'DEEP AND CRISP AND EATEN': THE SCOTTISH DEEP-FRIED MARS BAR (p 2180)
A letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET details a survey of Scottish fish and chip shops to try and estimate the popularity of the deep-fried Mars bar.   view more (2004-12-15)

UCL scientists create first earthquakes in the laboratory
Scientists at UCL have recreated earthquakes in the laboratory for the first time allowing them to better understand the origin of the largest and most violent earthquakes. This is the first time scientists have been able to generate and observe deep and intermediate focus earthquakes in the... view more (2002-11-14)

UAF geologist studies Chicxulub impact crater
About 65 million years ago, a massive disruption led to worldwide extinction of dinosaurs. The impact of a giant asteroid created massive tsunamis and spewed forth a global cloud of carbon gases that altered Earth's atmosphere and blocked the light for weeks, possibly years. In recent years, that... view more (2007-01-19)

Most patients can be treated safely at home for deep vein thrombosis
New, effective therapies for acute deep vein thrombosis mean that most patients do not need to be admitted to hospital, according to a study in this week's BMJ. These results challenge the traditional notion that these patients must be treated in hospital and adds to the evidence that home... view more (2001-05-16)

Marine researchers explore sediment highways
A European team of researchers has demonstrated that sediment is transported to the deep sea via canyons in the seabed. The sediment accumulates in the head of the submarine canyons. At the end of the canyons, mud avalanches disperse into the deep sea. Scientists from the Netherlands Institute for... view more (2002-04-18)

Deep-voiced men get the girls
Women prefer men with deep voices, research from Northumbria University has discovered.   view more (2005-03-14)

Deep Organ Image MR Scan Development
Oxford Researchers have developed a new, simple, design of accessory MR surface coil which significantly enhances the quality and clarity of deep organ MRI images. A new design of magnetic resonance imaging surface coil has been developed in which the location, size and improved homogeneity of the... view more (2004-04-08)

Brent Spar-Second Scientific Report on Decommissioning
The environmental impacts of the new disposal option for Brent Spar selected by Shell Expro and the original deep sea disposal plan are both acceptably small, according to the Second Report of the Scientific Group on Decommissioning Offshore Structures released today (30 June). The report by the... view more (1998-06-30)

Bleak Times For The Orange Roughy
A committee of high-level marine scientists are calling for an immediate drop in fishing effort on deep sea stocks such as the orange roughy. According to a report which is released by ICES today (11 June), most deep sea fish stocks are being overfished. Scientists are recommending that not only... view more (2004-06-10)

Study examines long-term outcomes following blood clots
Patients who develop a blood clot in their legs (deep vein thrombosis) or lungs (pulmonary embolism) are at risk for experiencing another blood clot within three years, and patients with pulmonary embolism have a higher risk of death.   view more (2008-02-26)

Nanoparticle technique could lead to improved semiconductors
Devices made from plastic semiconductors, like solar cells and light-emitting diodes (LEDs), could be improved based on information gained using a new nanoparticle technique developed at The University of Texas at Austin.   view more (2007-08-07)

From the surface of Mars to the skin on your body: UK science goes public
The 24 exhibits cover an extraordinary range of up-to-the-minute research. A model of the Beagle 2 robot lander - that will range over the Martian surface - is on show, as is a 3-D tour of an astronomical observatory in Hawaii. There is a novel look deep inside turbulent industrial processes; a... view more (1999-06-04)

Evidence for more dust than ice in comets
Observations of Comet 9P/Tempel 1 made by ESA's Rosetta spacecraft after the Deep Impact collision suggest that comets are 'icy dirtballs', rather than 'dirty snowballs' as previously believed.   view more (2005-10-14)

Ocean's 'twilight zone' may be a key to understanding climate change
A major study sheds new light on the role of carbon dioxide once it's transported to the oceans' depths. The research indicates that instead of sinking, carbon dioxide is often consumed by animals and bacteria and recycled in the "twilight zone," a dimly lit area 100 to 1,000 meters below... view more (2007-04-30)

The Casualties Of War (p 1065)
This week's editorial contrasts the urgency with which the US administration has pressed for military action in Iraq with its recent blocking of a WTO mandate-ironically in Doha, Qatar, now the US Central Command Centre-to give poorer nations access to essential medicines. France-which has taken... view more (2003-03-26)

Scientist's persistence sheds light on marine science riddle
When he started compiling an online database of seashells 15 years ago, Dr. Gary Rosenberg did not envision that his meticulous record-keeping would eventually shed light on a 40-year-old evolutionary debate.   view more (2006-09-08)

Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming.   view more (2005-09-08)

Neurologists with expertise in brain stimulation therapy help Parkinson's patients
Patients with Parkinson's disease who are undergoing a treatment known as deep brain stimulation may benefit from the direct involvement of a neurologist with expertise both in movement disorders and in deep brain stimulation.   view more (2006-07-11)

Meteor no longer prime suspect in great extinction
The greatest mass extinction in Earth's history also may have been one of the slowest, according to a study that casts further doubt on the extinction-by-meteor theory.   view more (2007-10-25)

New coil to make magnetic resonance (MR) imaging easier
Oxford University researchers have devised a novel coil design for magnetic resonance (MR) application, devised specifically for deep organ MR where sensitive imaging and spectroscopy have been previously difficult. Deep organ magnetic resonance requires maximised sensitivity and magnetic field... view more (2003-01-24)

Stanford researchers say living corals thousands of years old hold clues to past climate changes
Using radiocarbon dating and samples of deep-sea corals snipped from the floor of the Pacific Ocean by a submersible, researchers from Stanford and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that deep-sea corals growing off Hawaii are much older than previously thought-some as old as... view more (2008-02-15)
