This is shown in a national study carried out by the Service Research Center at Karlstad University. The... view more (2003-01-20)

Scientists predict how to detect a fourth dimension of space
Scientists at Duke and Rutgers universities have developed a mathematical framework they say will enable astronomers to test a new five-dimensional theory of gravity that competes with Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.   view more (2006-05-26)

Is extra-corporal liver support with prometheus safe in patients with end-stage liver disease?

Letting the spin loose
Two properties of an electron-its spin and its charge-are generally thought to be inseparable, intrinsic characteristics, no more given to sudden changes or going off on their own than say, the fur on a cat or the paint on a bicycle. But a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has... view more (2005-07-13)

Super atoms turn the periodic table upside down
Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands have developed a technique for generating atom clusters made from silver and other metals.

'Optical fingerprinting' makes extra virgin olive oil shine out from the fakes
A Loughborough University researcher has teamed up with scientists from Italy to develop a unique optical fingerprinting system to detect extra virgin oil from the fakes.
