The European Space Agency (ESA) has chosen the GSI accelerator facility to assess radiation risks that astronauts will be exposed to on a Mars mission. view more (2008-04-15)
Ozone layer decline leveling off, according to new study
A new global study involving long-term data from satellites and ground stations indicates Earth's ozone layer, while still severely depleted following decades of thinning from industrial chemicals in the atmosphere, is no longer in decline. view more (2005-08-30)
Theory shows mechanism behind delayed development of antibiotic resistance
Inhibiting the "drug efflux pumps" in bacteria, which function as their defence mechanisms against antibiotics, can mask the effect of mutations that have led to resistance in the form of low-affinity drug binding to target molecules in the cell. view more (2009-05-06)
A new approach to prevent cancer
Scientists at the University of Dundee have identified a way of inactivating a naturally occurring human protein, a development which could offer new routes to developing cancer prevention treatments. view more (2005-05-10)
Why exertion leads to exhaustion
Scientists have found an explanation for runners who struggle to increase their pace, cyclists who can't pedal any faster and swimmers who can't speed up their strokes. Researchers from the University of Exeter and Kansas State University have discovered the dramatic changes that occur in our muscles when we push ourselves during exercise. view more (2007-12-21)
New vaccine platform may fight infections with causes from influenza to bioterrorism
The development of effective vaccines for people with compromised immune systems may be feasible after all, according to a team of researchers, who demonstrated their approach could protect against pneumocystis pneumonia in mice lacking the same population of immune cells that HIV destroys in humans. view more (2005-11-28)
Rebecca boldly goes from star-gazing to space research
A Kingston University graduate is about to set off on an academic mission to discover if there is life on other planets. Earth and planetary science specialist Rebecca Blackhurst hopes to land a research job at America's National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) at the end of her trek through the academic world. First she intends to... view more... (2003-06-27)
Rough day at work? You won't feel like exercising
Have you ever sat down to work on a crossword puzzle only to find that afterwards you haven't the energy to exercise? Or have you come home from a rough day at the office with no energy to go for a run? view more (2009-09-25)
Brown Scientist Finds Coastal Dead Zones May Benefit Some Species
Coastal dead zones, an increasing concern to ecologists, the fishing industry and the public, may not be as devoid of life after all. A Brown scientist has found that dead zones do indeed support marine life, and that at least one commercially valuable clam actually benefits from oxygen-depleted waters. view more (2008-10-15)

Aquaculture's growth seen as continuing
Aquaculture production of seafood will probably remain the most rapidly increasing food production system worldwide through 2025, according to an assessment published in the January 2009 issue of BioScience. view more (2009-01-05)
New test for mysterious metabolic diseases developed at Stanford/Packard
Scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine have devised a much-needed way to monitor and find treatments for a mysterious and devastating group of metabolic diseases that arise from mutations in cells' fuel-burning mechanism. view more (2009-02-11)
Reduced insulin in the brain triggers Alzheimer's degeneration
By depleting insulin and its related proteins in the brain, researchers at Rhode Island Hospital and Brown Medical School have replicated the progression of Alzheimer's disease - including plaque deposits, neurofibrillary tangles, impaired cognitive functioning, cell loss and overall brain deterioration - in an experimental animal model. view more (2006-03-23)
Desert dust enables algae to grow
Biologists from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research have demonstrated that desert dust promotes the growth of algae. Scientists had already assumed that the iron in desert dust stimulated algal growth, but this has now been demonstrated for the first time. The researchers have published their findings in the December issue of the... view more... (2003-12-19)
Researchers complete seismic borehole in Kentucky
Drilling has been completed on the deepest borehole for seismic instruments in the eastern U.S. The four-inch diameter hole for the Central U.S. Seismic Observatory (CUSSO), located at Sassafras Ridge in Fulton County, Kentucky, reached a depth of 1,948 feet, where bedrock was encountered. view more (2006-12-14)
HIV's effect on white blood cells questioned by new research
Scientists have refuted a longstanding theory of how HIV slowly depletes the body's capacity to fight infection, in new research published today. view more (2007-05-22)
Radon testing as a campus community service
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer—-attributable to an estimated 20,000 deaths in the United States per year from exposure to the gas, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. view more (2006-07-13)
Ancient ape ruled out of man's ancestral line
Ancient remains, once thought to be a key link in the evolution of mankind, have now been shown to be 400,000 years too young to be a part of man's family tree. view more (2006-12-08)
UN body asks Lund Researchers to investigate new type of carbon sink
Trade in emission rights is intended to reduce global emissions of greenhouse gases. Countries with natural carbon sinks—areas that absorb more carbon dioxide than they give off—can ‘trade off’ that resource in return for their commitments to reduce emissions. Thus far this has largely involved forests. But now a new and... view more... (2001-11-09)
Solar Energy: Electricity Out Of A Helicopter Turbine
The mountains of Armenia seem to have been created for electric power stations working on solar energy. The scientists at the Radio Physical Research Institute have chosen a ground on Aragats mountain, which is 40 km to the west of Yerevan and situated 1750m above sea level. Southern mountain Sun is a good source of cheap energy. It rises 73... view more... (2001-08-24)
