Is sleep 'hard-wired' into the brain?
Falling asleep is usually thought of as something we can control ourselves as part of our behaviour patterns. In a new article in the December Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Dr Bidi Evans argues that waking and sleeping is actually controlled by a physical mechanism that is 'hard-wired'... view more (2002-11-25)

New evidence for organic compounds in deep space
The mysterious spectral bands in the infrared of interstellar gas clouds in deep space originate from organic compounds. Research by the Nijmegen physicist Hans Piest confirms this. He has provided new experimental evidence for this almost 30-year-old problem in astronomy. Each molecule has... view more (2002-04-18)

Deep-rooted plants have much greater impact on climate than experts thought
Trees, particularly those with deep roots, contribute to the Earth's climate much more than scientists thought, according to a new study by biologists and climatologists from the University of California, Berkeley.   view more (2006-01-12)

Cable laid for new deep-sea observatory
On April 1, 2007 researchers completed an important step in constructing the first deep-sea cabled observatory in the continental United States. In a multi-institution effort managed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and funded by the National Science Foundation, 52 kilometers... view more (2007-04-05)

Seafloor creatures destroyed by ice action during ice ages
The ice ages made massive changes to the Earth's landscape. But what was happening below the ice in the oceans?   view more (2005-10-18)

Persistent Man-made Chemical Pollutants Found in Deep-sea Octopods and Squids
New evidence that chemical contaminants are finding their way into the deep-sea food web has been found in deep-sea squids and octopods, including the strange-looking "vampire squid". These species are food for deep-diving toothed whales and other predators.   view more (2008-06-10)

Some like it hot: Worms at deep-sea vents favor a fiery 45-55°C
Scientists have found that worms dwelling at deep-sea hydrothermal vents opt for temperatures of 45-55 degrees Celsius (113-131 degrees Fahrenheit) when given a choice of conditions, giving them the highest thermal preference of any animal studied to date.   view more (2006-04-14)

Walrus Calves Stranded by Melting Sea Ice
Scientists have reported an unprecedented number of unaccompanied and possibly abandoned walrus calves in the Arctic Ocean, where melting sea ice may be forcing mothers to abandon their pups as the mothers follow the rapidly retreating ice edge north.   view more (2006-04-14)

32-mile cable installed for first deep-sea observatory
Oceanographers have completed an important step in constructing the first deep-sea observatory off the continental United States. Workers in the multi-institution effort laid 32 miles (52 kilometers) of cable along the Monterey Bay sea floor that will provide electrical power to scientific... view more (2007-04-09)

Researchers discover forests of endangered tropical kelp
A research team led by San Jose State University and the University of California, Santa Barbara has discovered forests of a species of kelp previously thought endangered or extinct in deep waters near the Galapagos Islands.   view more (2007-09-27)

A Promise Of Half A Million Years: EU Research Provides New Insight Into Climate Change
Within the EUR3,6 million EU research project PROMESS1 (PROfiles across MEditerranean Sedimentary Systems), with a EU EUR2,7 million contribution, European scientists have collected 500 000 year-old sediment cores from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. These samples will allow researchers to... view more (2004-07-22)

Cosmic bogs @ the London Catastrophes conference
You may think that peat bogs are among the least interesting places on Earth and you could be right. But according to speakers at Brunel University`s `Environmental Catastrophes` conference, that doesn`t stop them being excellent recorders of catastrophic environmental events like volcanic... view more (2002-08-17)

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)

Global climate change: a load of poo?
Plankton poo could be the key to understanding how much carbon dioxide our oceans can store according to Tasmanian researcher Dr Karin Beaumont.   view more (2004-09-09)

tudies assess blood clot prevalence outside hospital, prevention in hospital
More cases of venous thromboembolism are diagnosed in the three months following hospitalization than during hospitalization, but less than half of inpatients receive medications to prevent blood clots from occurring.   view more (2007-07-24)

Deep-sea sediments could safely store man-made carbon dioxide
An innovative solution for the man-made carbon dioxide fouling our skies could rest far beneath the surface of the ocean, say scientists at Harvard University.   view more (2006-08-08)

Deep in the ocean, a clam that acts like a plant
How does life survive in the black depths of the ocean? At the surface, sunlight allows green plants to "fix" carbon from the air to build their bodies.   view more (2007-02-21)

Does a producer benefit from research?
ISAE Helsinki 2004 Information bulletin August 4, 2004 Does a producer benefit from research? In the view of professor Per Jensen, an ethologist at Linköping University in Sweden and one of the world's leading experts on animal behaviour, Nordic animal welfare research is of a high standard... view more (2004-08-04)

Consortium In Place To Advance Coach Safety
The Cranfield Impact Centre has become part of a European consortium set up to research and develop new legislation as part of a project to Enhance Coach and Bus Occupant Safety (ECBOS). In the EC approximately 20,000 coaches above 5,000 kg are involved in accidents with personal injuries. Every... view more (2000-03-29)

New blood thinner studied for patients with leg and lung clots
A new oral blood thinner is being compared to an old standby to see if it works as well and is easier to manage long term, researchers say.   view more (2007-02-13)
