Molecular research suggests shift needed in how some drugs are created
The first close-up look at a pro-inflammatory signaling molecule involved in immune response in mammals suggests that researchers "should rethink what they are doing" in creating drugs based on a fruit-fly model, scientists say.   view more (2005-10-05)

What, oh, what are those actinides doing?
Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory are uniting theory, computation and experiment to discover exactly how heavy elements, such as uranium and technetium, interact in their environment.   view more (2007-08-20)

Brain Structure Implicated In Early Onset Depression
Teenagers suffering from depression may have abnormal brain structure, according to new research. An article published in BMC Medicine this week shows that adolescents diagnosed with major depressive disorder tend to have a small hippocampus - a part of the brain associated with motivation,... view more (2004-01-26)

Wood to replace oil in building polymers
A new type of polymers can be produced in a more environmentally friendly way, using wood instead of oil as a raw material, according to research at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm, Sweden. The next step is to replace the wood with the process water from the pulp industry. This... view more (2003-06-12)

Scientists discover how nanocluster contaminants increase risk of spreading
For almost half a century, scientists have struggled with plutonium contamination spreading further in groundwater than expected, increasing the risk of sickness in humans and animals.   view more (2008-04-18)

Electronic “tongue” for environmental monitoring
UK researchers are developing a unique electronic ‘tongue’ that can be dipped into rivers or industrial effluent streams to ensure that the water does not contain anything sinister. The researchers, based at Cardiff University, have demonstrated that the ‘tasting’ part of... view more (2002-04-09)

Discovery points to more effective ways of regulating cell signalling
A discovery made at The Walter and Eliza Hall Institute provides new insights into enhancing the function of the protein SOCS3, which regulates the response of cells to external stimuli.   view more (2006-04-21)

Researchers outline structure of largest nonvirus particle ever crystallized
Researchers at UCLA's California NanoSystems Institute, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute have modeled the structure of the largest cellular particle ever crystallized, suggesting ways to engineer the particles for drug delivery.   view more (2007-11-27)

Blacksmith’s secret revealed
In an international study into the fine structure of steel, Technology Foundation STW researchers have revealed how strong steel is formed. By analysing red-hot steel with an x-ray microscope, the researchers discovered how at a temperature of 900 oC, numerous microscopic crystals suddenly... view more (2002-11-15)

Computer simulations strongly support new theory of Earth's core
Swedish researchers present in today's Web edition of the journal Science evidence that their theory about the core of the earth is correct. Among other applications, the findings may be of significance for our understanding of the cooling down of the earth, and of the stability of the earth's... view more (2008-02-11)

Microtubule protein interactions visualized en masse
In a new study published online in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Philipp Niethammer, Eric Karsenti, and colleagues investigate the regulation of microtubule dynamics via application of their new method, called visual immunoprecipitation (VIP), which enables simultaneous visualization of... view more (2007-01-16)

Ceramic research reaches new heights
Materials scientists at the University of Wales Aberystwyth (UWA) are taking ceramics to new heights in order to determine the structure and stability of the materials which are used to construct aeroplane engines and the tiles for the space shuttle. Dr Rudi Winter and colleagues from the... view more (2002-03-05)

What Goes On Underneath Your Feet?
It is generally assumed that heat from Earth's core and mantle, due to the low thermal conductivity of the latter, is transferred to the outer part mainly by convection. This implies swirling movement of an immense amount of hot material, which is behind the dynamics of Earth's interior.... view more (2004-07-16)

Argonne scientists discover new class of glassy material
Scientists at U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are dealing with an entirely new type of frustration, but it's not stressing them out.   view more (2008-07-29)

Discovery of Giant X-ray Loop Hints at Cosmic Particle Accelerator
Astronomers have found a vast loop-like structure, 20 light years across, adjacent to the most massive star-forming region known in our galaxy.   view more (2005-04-01)

Scripps research scientists reveal key structure from ebola virus
Described in the July 10, 2008 issue of the journal Nature, the research reveals the shape of the Ebola virus spike protein, which is necessary for viral entry into human cells, bound to an immune system antibody acting to neutralize the virus.   view more (2008-07-10)

ETH Researchers Visualize the Binding of Proteins to the Nuclear Surface
Not only the genetic information of individual cells, but also that of the entire organism is stored within the cell nucleus. Each cell of a multicellular organism, e.g. man, contains the identical DNA sequences. The communication between the cell nucleus and the remainder of the cell is thus... view more (2003-01-15)

Variable physical laws
Physical quantities such as the speed of light, the gravitational constant and the electron mass are believed to be the same independent of where and when they appear in the universe.   view more (2006-06-12)

Carbon nanotubes to be replaced by MoSIx nanowires in high-tech devices says new study
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future. Applications cited for carbon nanotubes range from super fast computers and ultra small electronics through to materials that are lightweight yet super strong and tougher than diamond.   view more (2007-11-26)

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)

Quantum Secrets of Photosynthesis Revealed
Through photosynthesis, green plants and cyanobacteria are able to transfer sunlight energy to molecular reaction centers for conversion into chemical energy with nearly 100-percent efficiency.   view more (2007-04-13)
