Slip rate along the Lijiang-Ninglang fault zone estimated from repeating microearthquakes
The China Digital Seismic Network (CDSN) provides excellent opportunities to quantify the kinematics and characterize the dynamics of the active fault systems in China.   view more (2008-12-22)

New discovery: Molecular variation in one gene affects the growth of natural populations
For the first time, ecologists have been able to show that molecular variation in one gene may affect the growth of a population in its natural habitat.   view more (2006-04-26)

Scientists create first comprehensive computer model of sunspots
In a breakthrough that will help scientists unlock mysteries of the sun and its impacts on Earth, scientists have created the first-ever comprehensive computer model of sunspots.   view more (2009-06-19)

Quick test for prostate cancer
A new 3-minute test could help in diagnosing prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men in the UK, according to scientists.   view more (2009-05-19)

A Fresh Look Inside Mount St. Helens
Volcanoes are notoriously hard to study. All the action takes place deep inside, at enormous temperatures. So geophysicists make models, using what they know to develop theories about what they don't know.   view more (2008-02-20)

Quantum Evolution - The New Science of Life
A clue to understanding life is the realisation that its dynamics are different than those that rule the non-living. For inanimate objects, the dynamics we see are the product of the disordered motion of billions of particles; they are a kind of average dynamics. At the macroscopic level we see patterns and order, but at the molecular level there... view more... (2000-01-31)

New Test for Joint Infection Could Spare Some Patients an Unnecessary Procedure
A potential diagnostic test that could help surgeons confirm or rule out the presence of infection-causing bacteria in prosthetic joints that require surgical revision has been developed by researchers at the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).   view more (2008-03-04)

Lowly Icelandic midges reveal ecosystem's tipping points
The midges that periodically swarm by the billions from Iceland's Lake Myvatn are a force of nature.   view more (2008-03-06)

Study could help target new pancreatitis treatments
Pancreatitis is often a fatal condition, in which the pancreas digests itself and surrounding tissue.   view more (2009-06-30)

Hurricanes, other vortices seize energy via 'hostile takeovers'
For decades, scientists who study hurricanes, whirlpools and other large fluid vortices have puzzled over precisely how these vast swirling masses of gas or liquid sustain themselves.   view more (2006-03-07)

Scientists from Scotland to Sweden Arrive at NIMBioS to Study Bovine TB
In 2008, the U.S. Department of Agriculture spent $31 million to depopulate herds of cattle affected by bovine tuberculosis (TB), even though the risk of the disease has been significantly reduced in the U.S. over the past several decades.   view more (2009-07-13)

Benchmark fetal surgery study finds timeliness to be critical factor in success of treatment
It's one of the biggest controversies in fetal surgery and the cause of heated debate among surgeons and maternal-fetal medicine physicians around the world: What's the best way to treat twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), one of the most common conditions requiring fetal surgery and the leading cause of mortality in twins?   view more (2007-02-12)

Researchers build an ultrasound version of the laser
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the University of Missouri at Rolla have built an ultrasound analogue of the laser.   view more (2006-06-09)

'Nanodrop' test tubes created with a flip of a switch
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a new device that creates nanodroplet "test tubes" for studying individual proteins under conditions that mimic the crowded confines of a living cell.   view more (2008-04-16)

Study sheds new light on link between obesity and infertility
Obese women have alterations in their ovaries which might be responsible for an egg's inability to make an embryo, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM).   view more (2009-03-03)

Magnetic mixing creates quite a stir
Sandia researchers have developed a process that can mix tiny volumes of liquid, even in complicated spaces.   view more (2009-10-28)

Cerebrospinal fluid used to deliver therapeutics for Lou Gehrig's disease to brain
Researchers from the University of California, San Diego have shown that instead of trying to deliver therapeutic agents for neurodegenerative diseases across the highly impermeable blood-brain barrier via the blood, therapeutic molecules known as antisense oligonucleotides can be delivered to the brain and spinal cord through the cerebrospinal... view more...

World-class engineering helps British cyclists in their Olympic race for medals
The British Olympic track cycling team may be offering some thanks to a group of researchers at the University of Sheffield today, if they pick up a medal in this year's games. The Sports Engineering Research Group (SERG) at the University has been working as part of a world-class team to develop a state-of-the-art bike, which could shave crucial... view more...

Harvard scientists predict the future of the past tense
Verbs evolve and homogenize at a rate inversely proportional to their prevalence in the English language, according to a formula developed by Harvard University mathematicians who've invoked evolutionary principles to study our language over the past 1,200 years, from "Beowulf" to "Canterbury Tales" to "Harry Potter."   view more (2007-10-11)
