Natural deep earth pump fuels earthquakes and ore
For the first time scientists have discovered the presence of a natural deep earth pump that is a crucial element in the formation of ore deposits and earthquakes. view more (2009-06-18)
Scientist warns marathon runners: Water won't help you keep your cool
Runners in today's (21-Apr-2007) London Marathon may be tempted to down several litres of water to keep their cool and achieve their best time, but large fluid intake does not achieve either, according to a sports scientist from the University of Exeter. view more (2007-04-23)
Studying rivers for clues to global carbon cycle
In the science world, in the media, and recently, in our daily lives, the debate continues over how carbon in the atmosphere is affecting global climate change. Studying just how carbon cycles throughout the Earth is an enormous challenge, but one Northwestern University professor is doing his part by studying one important segment -- rivers. view more (2008-02-11)
Soyuz rocket fails on launch from Plesetsk cosmodrome carrying ESA experiment payload
ESA PR 65-2002. A Russian Soyuz launcher exploded some 20 seconds after lift-off from the Russian Plesetsk cosmodrome last night, 15 October, at 20:20 CEST. The launcher was carrying the unmanned Foton M-1 research satellite, using capsules of the Foton/Bion family containing 44 experiments supported by ESA. The experiments (*) covered a wide... view more... (2002-10-16)
Early Detection of Osteoarthritis in Dogs Could Open Doors for a Cure
Osteoarthritis is commonly diagnosed in the late and irreversible stages, when treatment can only be expected to decrease pain and slow progression of disease. view more (2009-06-11)
First diagnostic indicator for Amytrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) identified
Claire Collier went to see her doctor shortly after she started experiencing cramping and other symptoms. This started a series of referrals and seemingly endless stream of tests. view more (2006-02-23)
Slick and Springy: Brown Research Reveals Protein's Role in Joints
Synovial fluid is slime with a serious purpose: Protecting shoulders, hips and other joints from wear, reducing the likelihood of injuries and arthritis. view more (2007-04-09)
Tiny bubbles a storehouse of knowledge
Fluid inclusions - tiny bubbles of fluid or vapor trapped inside rock as it forms - are clues to the location of ores and even petroleum; and they are time capsules that contain insights on the power of volcanoes and hints of life in the universe. view more (2005-10-13)
Study finds key distinction between outbreaks that die out and epidemics
In an important study forthcoming in the March 2006 issue of the American Naturalist, biologists from Yale University, University of Florida, and Dartmouth University explore the dynamics of pathogen survival and shed new light on a longstanding mystery: why some infectious diseases are limited to small outbreaks and others become full-blown... view more...

On chip separation: large molecules pass the speed camera first
What molecule or particle passes the finishline first? A good way to split a fluid sample into its separate parts is: organize a contest in a micro-channel. The largest parts will pass the optical detector first, the smaller ones follow at short distance. This principle of 'hydrodynamic chromatography' is now also possible on a chip. 'On-chip'... view more... (2002-12-10)
Scientists find that the human nose is more complicated than a jumbo jet
Winter colds can give you a blocked up nose that stops you smelling chimney smoke, roasting chestnuts, warming winter puddings and the other seasonal scents. Now researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have not only discovered how air moves through the nose bringing you those smells but their work... view more...

Novel computer model for blood flow could help doctors predict arterial disease
A unique computer model of how blood flows in human arteries has been developed by researchers in the UK. The model could help doctors understand the stresses that blood places on the walls of vessels and provide new insights into vascular disease. The work has been carried out by Dr Yun Xu together with Dr Simon Thom and Professor Alun Hughes at... view more... (2000-10-19)
Rapid oral HIV test shows great promise according to MUHC-led research
A convenient, easy to use, and rapid alternative to blood-based HIV testing may become the new standard for field testing according to a new MUHC study. view more (2007-04-12)
Urate in blood and spinal fluid may predict slower decline in patients with Parkinson's disease
Higher concentration of urate (an antioxidant) in the blood and spinal fluid of patients with early Parkinson's disease is associated with slower rates of clinical decline. view more (2009-10-13)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features methods for visualizing protein dynamics
This month's release of Cold Spring Harbor Protocols highlights methods that permit scientists to observe protein dynamics in chromosomes and embryos. view more (2008-01-03)
Ceramides from sheeps wool similar to those of the human skin
The high concentration of ceramides extracted by means of supercritical fluid technology has provoked great interest in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. Due to their composition, these ceramides increase the hydration of the skin and accelerate the repair of damaged skin tissue. view more (2005-04-26)
Studies of small water fleas help ecologists understand population dynamics
A study of populations of tiny water fleas is helping ecologists to understand population dynamics, which may lead to predictions about the ecological consequences of environmental change. view more (2008-10-31)
Micro microwave does pinpoint cooking for miniaturized labs
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards of Technology (NIST) and George Mason University have demonstrated what is probably the world's smallest microwave oven, a tiny mechanism that can heat a pinhead-sized drop of liquid inside a container slightly shorter than an ant and half as wide as a single hair. view more (2007-11-09)
Toronto researchers discover novel circulation in human eye, new glaucoma treatment target
Researchers at the University of Toronto, St. Michael's Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre have discovered a previously unidentified form of circulation within the human eye which may provide important new insights into glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. view more (2009-10-06)
Rolls-Royce extends international research credentials with German cooperation agreement
Rolls-Royce today signed a co-operation agreement with the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU) in Cottbus, Germany, to establish a joint Engine Technology Competence Centre. This marks a further chapter in the company's history of forging strong links with the academic world on high-technology research in dedicated centres of excellence.... view more... (2003-04-04)
