A little byte on the side
Becoming emotionally involved with someone over the internet can have just as serious an impact on real-life relationships as 'offline' infidelity - especially in the eyes of women.   view more (2004-04-19)

Travel ban could reduce spread of SARS or other infectious diseases
Restricting travel could help reduce the spread of infections like SARS by more than 50%. In a study published today in the open access journal BMC Medicine, Swedish researchers simulated infection scenarios and tested the impact of travel restrictions on the spread of infection.   view more (2006-12-14)

Ecologists use oceanographic data to predict future climate change
Ecologists and oceanographers are attempting to predict the future impacts of climate change by reconstructing the past behavior of Arctic climate and ocean circulation.   view more (2008-11-07)

Permanent deep-sea seismic sensors
A submarine seismic sensor was recently set in place at 2400 m depth, off Toulon. The instrument was attached to a neutrino telescope developed by the international scientific programme Antares.   view more (2005-06-06)

Shining a light on deep-sea vents: Science meets policy
Scientists first discovered undersea hot springs, known as hydrothermal vents, nearly 30 years ago. These vents, which are among the world's most extreme ecosystems, are found along the ocean ridge, 40,000 miles of underwater mountain range that zig-zags throughout the world's ocean basin.   view more (2006-02-21)

Looking deep in Earth, researchers see upwellings that could be root of volcanic islands
Deep within Earth, researchers are finding hints of exotic materials and behaviors unrivaled anywhere else on the planet. Now a team of researchers is making connections between the dynamic activities deep inside Earth and geologic features at its surface.   view more (2005-06-01)

Thawing permafrost a significant source of carbon
Permafrost, permanently frozen soil, isn't staying frozen and a type of soil called loess contained deep within thawing permafrost may be releasing significant, and previously unaccounted for, amounts of carbon into the atmosphere.   view more (2006-06-16)

Arctic soil reveals climate change clues
Frozen arctic soil contains nearly twice the greenhouse-gas-producing organic material as was previously estimated, according to recently published research by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists.   view more (2008-10-08)

Seismolgists get handle on heat flow deep in Earth
Earth's interior is not a benign world that only stores the geologic history of our planet. Geologists now see the normally assumed placid inner Earth as a dynamic environment filled with exotic materials and substances roiling under intense heat and pressures. It is an environment that continues... view more (2006-11-27)

Research Europe 1 August issue: embryo delays, Commission intelligence, Framework's impact, aerospace R&D and Finnish plans.
Ministers put off embryo decision A final decision on Framework 6's approach to research involving human embryos and embryonic stem cells is likely to be delayed until the end of 2003. However, under a compromise expected to be agreed by EU member states in coming weeks, work on existing stocks of... view more (2002-08-01)

New Call for Research and Innovation Projects

The overall budget for these proposals is EUR17.3 million The focus is on regional innovation policies, including new tools and approaches, and this... view more (2004-04-20)

Earlier global warming produced a whole new form of life
Researchers from McGill University, along with colleagues from the California Institute of Technology, the Curie Institute in Paris, Princeton University and other institutions, have unearthed crystalline magnetic fossils of a previously unknown species of microorganism that lived at the boundary... view more (2008-10-23)

Smaller packs of analgesics have reduced overdose deaths
The number of deaths from self poisoning with paracetamol and salicylates has decreased significantly since legislation limiting the number of tablets per pack was introduced in the United Kingdom in 1998, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Data including drug related deaths, cases of liver... view more (2001-05-16)

New Research Confirms Importance of Analysing Macro-Poverty Linkages
The analysis of macro-poverty linkages has emerged as an important but contentious area of national and international policy-making. In a new Theme Issue of Development Policy Review, entitled "Analysing Macro-Poverty Linkages," it is argued that the potential contribution macroeconomic... view more (2005-04-22)

Seismic images show dinosaur-killing meteor made bigger splash
The most detailed three-dimensional seismic images yet of the Chicxulub crater, a mostly submerged and buried impact crater on the Mexico coast, may modify a theory explaining the extinction of 70 percent of life on Earth 65 million years ago.   view more (2008-01-24)

Male circumcision 'could prevent millions of AIDS deaths'
Researchers involved with a 'landmark' trial, which found evidence that male circumcision (MC) could reduce the chance of becoming infected with HIV, have published an analysis estimating the likely impact of expanding the practice of MC across Africa.   view more (2006-07-11)

First map of threats to marine ecosystems shows all the world's oceans are affected
As vast and far-reaching as the world's oceans are, every square kilometer is affected by human activities, according to a study in the journal Science by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and others.   view more (2008-02-15)

Cebreros marks major readiness milestone
On 9 June, a powerful new 35-metre antenna, presently undergoing acceptance testing at Cebreros, Spain, successfully picked up signals and tracked Rosetta and SMART-1. It is ESA's second deep-space ground station in its class and adds Ka-band reception capability and high pointing precision to the... view more (2005-06-27)

Elephant seal pups suffer from ocean warming
Ocean warming has a negative impact on the condition of elephant seals, reveals a study published in the Open Access journal BMC Biology. High ocean temperatures observed from 1975 to the late 1990s are correlated with a 28% decrease in the weight of elephant seal pups. Elephant seals are shown to... view more (2005-04-18)
