Neurons hard wired to tell left from right
It's well known that the left and right sides of the brain differ in many animal species and this is thought to influence cognitive performance and social behaviour. For instance, in humans, the left half of the brain is concerned with language processing whereas the right side is better at... view more (2008-03-31)

'NO JUSTIFICATION' FOR ROUTINE HEART-BEAT TEST AT START OF LABOUR (pp 445, 465)
Issue 8 February 2003 Embargoed 0001 h (London time) 7 February 2003 A routine test which has been used over the past two decades to electronically monitor the heart-beat of a baby at the start of labour is probably no better than intermittent monitoring with a stethoscope, conclude authors of a... view more (2003-02-05)

Space technology keeps Nuna II ahead of the pack
The Nuon Solar Team look set to beat their own world record for driving a sun-powered car across Australia in the World Solar Challenge. At the end of day 3 Nuna II, despite two flat tires, finished half an hour ahead of its closest competitors. Nuna II, raced by the Nuon Solar Team, and aided by... view more (2003-10-21)

Lewis and Clark data show narrower, more flood-prone river
A geologist at Washington University in St. Louis and his collaborator at Oxford University have interpreted data that Lewis and Clark collected during their famous expedition and found that the Missouri River has markedly narrowed and its water levels have become more variable over the past two... view more (2006-11-14)
