A mysterious change in the wave properties of electrons
The electrons of a perfect metallic surface move like free waves in a plane. Nevertheless, if atomic barriers are inserted, this may restrict their movement in one dimension, forming stationary waves such as those on the water surface in a bucket.   view more (2004-09-30)

NIST atom interferometry displays new quantum tricks
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a novel way of making atoms interfere with each other, recreating a famous experiment originally done with light while also making the atoms do things that light just won't do.   view more (2007-05-29)

Hereditary breast cancer -- a high cost to patient and health care provider alike
Some women who carry the BRCA gene mutation, which predisposes to breast cancer, may choose to have a prophylactic mastectomy rather than undertake lifetime surveillance, a Dutch scientist will tell the 6th European Breast Cancer Conference (EBCC-6) today (Wednesday 16 April).   view more (2008-04-16)

HRCT Reveals Asthmatic Risk Long After Cat Allergen Exposure
For the first time, researchers have shown that cat allergens can impair lung function in people with asthma for up to 22 hours after exposure. The study was presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).   view more (2005-11-30)

Between success and failure
No less than one quarter of second-generation immigrants in the Netherlands drops out of school. This is the most alarming result of a recent survey conducted among the second generation of Turkish and Moroccan descent in the two largest Dutch cities - Amsterdam and Rotterdam.   view more (2008-11-20)

All done with mirrors: NIST microscope tracks nanoparticles in 3-D
A clever new microscope design allows nanotechnology researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to track the motions of nanoparticles in solution as they dart around in three dimensions.   view more (2008-03-11)

2,500 researchers, 1 supermachine, 1 new snapshot of the universe
Deep in the bowels of the earth -100 metres below ground in Geneva, Switzerland - lies a supermachine of 27 km circumference called the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) that has been built to unlock the mysteries of the universe.   view more (2008-04-01)

Deep sequencing study reveals new insights into human transcriptome
In a collaborative project scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin (MPI MolGen), Germany and Genomatix with a business in Munich, Germany and Ann Arbor, MI, USA, applied next generation sequencing and analysis methods to generate an unprecedented view at the human... view more (2008-07-09)

Refined Petrol Stations
There are always oil spots near the petrol stations. Rainwater washes them away, polluting the environment. Researchers from Perm have developed a refining unit for cleaning rainwater sewage from petrol stations. It was successfully tested in Moscow and Perm. The unit base is a new filter -... view more (2002-02-19)

ESC Congress 2004: Effect of concentric and eccentric muscle training on glucose tolerance in healthy sedentary individuals
Disorders in the metabolism of glucose and lipids have reached an epidemic dimension. Important reasons for this tremendous problem are overweight and a lack of exercise. There are plenty of data verifying a positive effect of exercise on glucose and lipid metabolism. However, no data are available... view more (2004-08-30)

Quality improvement effort pays off in diabetes care
Spending money to improve diabetes care at federally qualified community health centers is a sound investment, according to one of the first studies to examine the clinical and economic impact of quality improvement on diabetes care.   view more (2007-05-18)

New study uncovers major inaccuracies in global wildlife trade monitoring
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is supposed to help governments conserve endangered species by regulating the international sale and transport of wildlife.   view more (2005-11-04)

REM sleep behavior disorder found to be precursor of brain-degenerating diseases later in life
Mayo Clinic sleep medicine specialists have found that almost two-thirds of patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) develop degenerative brain diseases by approximately 11 years after diagnosis of RBD.   view more (2006-06-19)

VIDEO IMAGES COULD HELP SPEED UP CITY TRAFFIC
Current methods of traffic control are normally based on inductive loops placed in the road on approaches to traffic lights, to sense the presence of approaching vehicles. Inductive loops are expensive to install and are prone to damage, while also giving limited information about traffic... view more (1999-09-14)

Skin flaps deliver cancer-fighting therapy, ASPS study reveals

A-level physics for the twenty-first century
Advancing Physics is a completely new approach to A-level physics, produced by the Institute of Physics. It brings physics teaching firmly into the twenty-first century using relevant and up-to-date examples of physics from everyday life. As well as pupil and teacher text books , the course is... view more (1999-12-09)

Campus Vienna Biocenter - Architecture & Agency aid Scientific Communication
23rd of April, 2004: Vienna, the Biotech hub of Eastern and Central Europe, will see a significant extension. Today, a new laboratory-cum-office building is officially inaugurated. With its open architecture, the modern building stands for both internal and external scientific communication.... view more (2004-04-22)

Study: Starting kindergarten later gives students only a fleeting edge
New research challenges a growing trend toward holding kids out of kindergarten until they're older, arguing that academic advantages are short-lived and come at the expense of delaying entry into the workforce and other costs.   view more (2008-08-19)

Cataloging the Structural Variations in Human Genetics
A major new effort to uncover the medium- and large-scale genetic differences between humans may soon reveal DNA sequences that contribute to a wide range of diseases.   view more (2007-05-10)

By combining different CT views, radiologists can better evaluate the GI tract
Combined evaluation of transverse images-horizontal slices of a standing body-and multiplanar coronal reformats-vertical slices from head to foot-from CT scans give radiologists more information about the GI tract to better diagnose problems.   view more (2006-05-04)

Human behavior changes the number of strains of infectious diseases
Simple models predict that only one strain of an infectious disease can exist at one time, but observation suggests otherwise.   view more (2006-07-27)

Study links dietary folate intake to genetic abnormalities in sperm
Healthy men who report lower levels of the nutrient folate in their diets have higher rates of chromosomal abnormalities in their sperm, according to a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.   view more (2008-03-20)

Cleaner diesels thanks to laser light
Measuring soot formation in a diesel engine is far from easy. Due to the turbulent environment in the combustion cylinder, no two combustion cycles are the same.   view more (2007-12-10)

Undisclosed payments to doctors recruiting trial patients is unethical
Doctors are often paid to recruit patients to clinical trials sponsored by pharmaceutical companies, yet such payments are often not disclosed to the patients. Researchers in this week`s BMJ argue that this practice is unethical and damages efforts to involve patients more fully in clinical trials.... view more (2002-07-03)

Scientists grow 'nanonets' able to snare added energy transfer
Using two abundant and relatively inexpensive elements, Boston College chemists have produced nanonets, a flexible webbing of nano-scale wires that multiplies surface area critical to improving the performance of the wires in electronics and energy applications.   view more (2008-09-03)
