Newly discovered proteins in seminal fluid may affect odds of producing offspring
Seminal fluid contains protein factors that, when transferred from a male to a female at mating, affect reproductive success. This is true of many different animals, from crickets to primates. view more (2008-07-29)
Scientists find formula to uncover our planet's past and help predict its future
Studies of climate evolution and the ecology of past-times are often hampered by lost information - lost variables needed to complete the picture have been long thought untraceable but scientists have created a formula which will fill in the gaps of our knowledge and will help predict the future. view more (2009-05-27)
ANALYTICA 2004: The 5 Minute PCR
At Analytica 2004, the Institut für Mikrotechnik Mainz GmbH (IMM) presents the prototype of its modular kit for a "chip-based lab". Thanks to the special microfluidic system and a miniaturized tempering unit, the modular construction system makes it possible to realize reproduceable polymerase chain reactions in less than five... view more...

Dark chocolate helps diarrhea
A new study conducted by researchers at Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland is the first to discover that a chemical in cocoa beans can limit the development of fluids that cause diarrhea. view more (2005-09-30)
The automobile of the future on the way
ROBOTIKER-TECNALIA Technological Centre is currently developing the project known as TANGER (Technologies for New Generation Automobiles). These technologies will integrate novel and innovative solutions into new automotive products centred at the point of driving. Within its strategy of product and processes design and development,... view more... (2005-01-19)
MIT researcher sees big impact of little cracks
An MIT researcher's atom-by-atom simulation of cracks forming and spreading may help explain how materials fail in nanoscale devices, airplanes and even in the Earth itself during a quake. view more (2006-01-19)
Going Ballistic: Soft Structures Could Spell The End For Slow Shrimps
Many animals are able to rapidly extend their tongues to catch prey. In fact, the chameleon extends its tongue at an acceleration rate of 500 metres per second square - generating 5 times the G force experienced by an F-16 fighter during its most demanding maneouvre! New research presented at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in... view more... (2002-04-09)
MAXUS 4 is now ready for launch
Following the success of the earlier Maxus flights which have taken place since 1992, the countdown is underway for the launch of ESA’s Maxus 4 sub-orbital microgravity mission on 29 April from ESRANGE, near Kiruna in northern Sweden. During the last two years, scientists from five European countries have been working together with the... view more... (2001-04-26)
Scientists identify how gastric reflux may trigger asthma
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center appear to have solved at least a piece of a puzzle that has mystified physicians for years: why so many patients with asthma also suffer from GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. view more (2008-07-22)
Canadian study demonstrates medical induction of labor increases risk of amniotic-fluid embolism
A Canadian population-based cohort study has revealed that medical induction of labour increases the risk of amniotic-fluid embolism. view more (2006-10-23)
Researchers design model for automated, wearable artificial kidney
Two researchers from UCLA and the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System have developed a design for an automated, wearable artificial kidney, or AWAK, that avoids the complications patients often suffer with traditional dialysis. view more (2008-07-11)
Tracking Cystic Fibrosis with Mice: DFG fellow develops an animal model for the disease
Cystic fibrosis, also known as mucoviscidosis, is one of the most common genetic diseases with a fatal outcome in western Europe. The disease is caused by a defective gene that affects the salt and fluid composition of respiratory tract secretions. As a result, they become highly viscous. The viscous mucous then clumps in the smaller lung... view more... (2004-04-26)
Avenir Energie's Geopack pumps up the energy
Geopack, the latest geothermal heating system from Avenir Energie, is on show at Frankfurt's ISH Trade Fair from 15 to 19 March 2005. Designed to meet all the heating needs of a typical domestic house or similar building, Geopack captures the free and unlimited energy that naturally exists in the soil, and converts it to a useable form via a... view more...

Metal deformation studies lead to new understanding of materials at extreme conditions
By combining very large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with time-resolved data from laser experiments of shock wave propagation through specific metals, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are now able to better understand the evolution of high-strain-rate plasticity. view more (2006-09-19)
Fluid theory confirmed by Foton
n scientific research, there is great satisfaction when theoretical work is eventually supported by experimentation. Such was the case this week for a team of Italian and US scientists when they received preliminary confirmation of a 10-year-old theory from a fluid science experiment that is currently orbiting the Earth on the Foton-M3 spacecraft. view more (2007-09-26)
Robotic whiskers can sense three-dimensional environment
Many mammals use their whiskers to explore their environment and to construct a three-dimensional image of their world. Rodents, for example, use their whiskers to determine the size, shape and texture of objects, and seals use their whiskers to track the fluid wakes of their prey. view more (2006-10-09)
Rolls-Royce To Open First Swedish University Technology Centre
Rolls-Royce plc announced today that it is to open its first University Technology Centre (UTC) outside of the UK. The new centre at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, will be first to focus on the company`s growing Marine business and will be devoted to research into hydrodynamics. Scandinavia is the headquarters of the... view more... (2002-02-20)
Why do insects like to eat some plants more than others?
In a study appearing in the forthcoming issue of The American Naturalist, Tom E. X. Miller, Andrew J. Tyre, and Svata M. Louda (all of the University of Nebraska, Lincoln) examined herbivore dynamics, specifically why plants aren't all eaten at the same rate. view more (2006-11-14)
Brownian motion under the microscope
An international group of researchers from the EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the University of Texas at Austin and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany have demonstrated that Brownian motion of a single particle behaves differently than Einstein postulated one century ago. view more (2005-10-12)
Profiling amniotic fluid yields faster test for infection and preterm birth risk, researchers find
Researchers at the 26th Annual Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine (SMFM) meeting today announced that profiling certain proteins in amniotic fluid is the fastest and most accurate way to detect potentially dangerous infections in pregnant women. view more (2006-02-02)
