Cochlear implant recipients experience improvement in quality of life
Cochlear implant recipients experience a significant improvement in their quality of life, and have improved speech recognition, according to new research published in the March 2008 issue of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery.   view more (2008-03-05)

Amadeus and Esmeraldas: two marine geophysics campaigns to investigate strong earthquakes off Ecuador and Colombia
Several large earthquakes with magnitude higher than 8 on the Richter scale have already occurred along the margins between the Nazca and South American tectonic plates, under the ocean off Ecuador and Colombia. This region is vulnerable, all the more so because since the 1980s, Ecuador's oil... view more (2005-02-16)

Oceans may soon be more corrosive than when the dinosaurs died
Increased carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly making the world's oceans more acidic and, if unabated, could cause a mass extinction of marine life similar to one that occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disappeared.   view more (2006-02-21)

Space Technology Benefits Medical Community
A small group of APL researchers, in collaboration with physicians from the Johns Hopkins Scleroderma Center in Baltimore, developed and recently completed initial trials for a miniature device to help physicians characterize Raynaud's disease and measure treatment effectiveness.   view more (2007-02-01)

Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity
Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2006-10-05)

Arctic ice on the verge of another all-time low
Following last summer's record minimum ice cover in the Arctic, current observations from ESA's Envisat satellite suggest that the extent of polar sea-ice may again shrink to a level very close to that of last year.   view more (2008-08-29)

Silicon nanowires upgrade data-storage technology
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), along with colleagues at George Mason University and Kwangwoon University in Korea, have fabricated a memory device that combines silicon nanowires with a more traditional type of data-storage.   view more (2007-06-11)

Carbon dioxide role in past climate revealed
Researchers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the University of California, Santa Cruz have discovered that Earth's last great global warming period, 3 million years ago, may have been caused by levels of CO2 in the atmosphere similar to today's.   view more (2005-04-11)

Fossilised Embryos - 500 Million Years Old
Evidence from fossilised embryos of worm-like creatures that lived 500 million years ago shows that embryos developed then in much the same way as their living relatives do today. The implications of this remarkable discovery, reported in this week's issue of Nature, is that embryological processes... view more (2004-01-12)

Powered toothbrushes given the brush-off
The Cochrane Collaboration's Oral Health Group, set up at The University of Manchester's Dental Hospital in 1996, has published the largest study ever undertaken on the effects of powered toothbrushes, and found that the majority are no better than a manual brush. Using a systematic review of data,... view more (2003-01-20)

Modern humans, not Neandertals, may be evolution's 'odd man out'
Could it be that in the great evolutionary "family tree," it is we Modern Humans, not the brow-ridged, large-nosed Neandertals, who are the odd uncle out?   view more (2006-09-11)

Pressure to get in shape
Electric windows, air-conditioning, ABS braking and airbags have become standard features in most vehicles. But while electronic components increase the safety and comfort of cars, they also make them heavier; and the greater a car's weight, the higher its fuel consumption. One solution is to shed... view more (2002-12-20)

Lords Report on EU e-Commerce Policy Development and Co-ordination
An all-party House of Lords Report published today looks at e-commerce and how policy in the UK and in the European Union towards e-commerce has developed. The Report also examines co-ordination at UK Government and EU institutional level. The Report takes a broad look at the impact of e-commerce... view more (2000-07-28)

Fossil and molecular evidence reveals the history of major marine biodiversity hotspots
The journal "Science" has published in the issue of the 1st of August the results of a detailed research work about the evolution of marine diversity all through the last 50 million years.   view more (2008-08-07)

iTunes allows radiologists to save, sort and search personal learning files
iTunes has the ability to manage and organize PDF files just as easy as music files, allowing radiologists to better organize their personal files of articles and images, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Renji Hospital and Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine in... view more (2008-07-21)

COMPUTER EXPERTS TO HELP INTENSIVE CARE PATIENTS TO COMMUNICATE
The researchers, based at the University of Dundee and Ninewells Hospital, are hoping to have produced a prototype computer-based communications system within the next 18 months. The work is being funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.   view more (1999-12-08)

The Not-So-Digital Future of Digital Signal Processing
Fungi processing audio signals. E. Coli storing images. DNA acting as logic circuits. It's possible, and in some cases, it's already happened. In any event, performing digital signal processing using organic and chemical materials without electrical currents could be the wave of the future.   view more (2008-04-08)

Nano-sized Electronic Circuit Promises Bright View of Early Universe
A newly developed nano-sized electronic device is an important step toward helping astronomers see invisible light dating from the creation of the universe. This invisible light makes up 98% of the light emitted since the "big bang," and may provide insights into the earliest stages of... view more (2008-07-11)

Dr. Richard Smith Joins the Public Library of Science and the Escalating Open Access Movement
For the last 13 years, Dr. Richard Smith, as the editor of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and chief executive of the BMJ Publishing Group, has been a central figure in the world of scientific and medical publishing. He has championed the causes of increased access to research articles,... view more (2004-07-28)

Fine print: New technique allows fast printing of microscopic electronics
A new technique for printing extraordinarily thin lines quickly over wide areas could lead to larger, less expensive and more versatile electronic displays as well new medical devices, sensors and other technologies.   view more (2008-01-25)

Global warming greatest in past decade
Researchers confirm that surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were warmer over the last 10 years than any time during the last 1300 years, and, if the climate scientists include the somewhat controversial data derived from tree-ring records, the warming is anomalous for at least 1700... view more (2008-09-02)

A new finding in liver transplantation and antifibrinolytics?
Orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is associated with severe bleeding and considerable transfusion requirements. There are several reasons for this severe bleeding in OLT. Hemostatic abnormalities remain a major cause.   view more (2008-03-13)

Interoperable electronic tolling for Europe's roads
Imagine driving from Sweden to Spain and never having to stop to pay a toll. That scenario could soon become a reality thanks in part to the work of PISTA, which has validated a new European standard for interoperable electronic fee collection (EFC) systems.   view more (2004-11-02)

Deciphering Arctic climate puzzles - New findings from the Arctic Coring Expedition
An international team of scientists is currently evaluating sediment cores collected during the Arctic Coring Expedition, ACEX, conducted under the auspices of the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP). ACEX, conducted in August and September this year, is an exploration success story. At a... view more (2004-11-17)

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)
