MIT solves 100-year-old engineering problem
As a car accelerates up and down a hill then slows to follow a hairpin turn, the airflow around it cannot keep up and detaches from the vehicle. This aerodynamic separation creates additional drag that slows the car and forces the engine to work harder. The same phenomenon affects airplanes, boats, submarines, and even your golf ball. view more (2008-09-26)
Tracking alien turbulences with Venus Express
New images and data from ESA's mission to Venus provide new insights into the turbulent and noxious atmosphere of Earth's sister planet. What causes violent winds and turbulences? Is the surface topography playing a role in the complex global dynamics of the atmosphere? Venus Express is on the case. view more (2007-04-04)
Creation of a magnetic field in a turbulent fluid
Understanding the origin and behavior of the magnetic fields of planets and stars is the goal of research being carried out by many teams from all over the world. view more (2007-03-12)
Interacting protein theory awaits test from new neutron analysis tools
An international collaboration directed by an Oak Ridge National Laboratory researcher has performed the first-ever atomic-detail computer simulation of how proteins vibrate in a crystal. view more (2007-09-28)
MIT reveals the tangle under turbulence
Picture the flow of water over a rock. At very low speeds, the water looks like a smooth sheet skimming the rock's surface. As the water rushes faster, the flow turns into turbulent, roiling whitewater that can overturn your raft. view more (2007-03-29)
Wind tunnel tests could lead to healthier towns and cities
It's hardly an appealing thought but the overpowering fragrance of mothballs in a large wind tunnel could provide the key to improving air quality in our towns and cities. The tests will improve our understanding of how pollution and heat behave at street level so that more effective ventilation methods can be developed. The research will be... view more...

Peering inside the skull of a mouse to solve meningitis mystery
NYU Langone Medical Center scientists and their collaborators at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif., have discovered an unexpected cause for the fatal seizures seen in mice with viral meningitis, an infection of the central nervous system, according to a study published in the journal Nature. view more (2008-12-23)
Radiological treatment method spares patients surgery and offers 89 percent cost savings
Pericardial effusion, the collection of fluid around the heart, typically occurs in patients following heart surgery and is usually treated using an invasive surgical drainage technique. view more (2009-09-21)
Mountainous plateau creates ozone 'halo' around Tibet
Not only is the air around the world's highest mountains thin, but it's thick with ozone, says a new study from University of Toronto researchers. view more (2005-12-08)
Asking Doctors to Wash Their Hands
Health care professionals make contact with an average of 35 patients daily. If you calculate that the hand wash takes 2 minutes, including the time to find a basin, more than one hour of the work day is used for washing. Hospital infections cost the world thousands of lives. An important cause is unclean hands. A new device will clean hands... view more... (2004-04-21)
Texas A&M prof to predict weather on Mars
Is there such a thing as "weather" on Mars? There are some doubts, considering the planet's atmosphere is only 1 percent as dense as that of the Earth. view more (2009-11-05)
Fossilized liquid assembly: Nanomaterials research tool
From a butterfly's iridescent wing to a gecko's sticky foot, nature derives extraordinary properties from ordinary materials like wax and keratin. view more (2006-10-13)
Spanish fertility experts bring hope of avoiding serious complication of assisted reproduction
Research by Spanish fertility experts is bringing new hope to women of avoiding a serious complication of assisted reproduction - ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS)[1]. In its severest form, which requires urgent medical treatment, the syndrome affects around 200 women a year in Spain and as many as 2,000 a year in Europe. OHSS occurs when a... view more...

Dipstick test for meningitis culprits
Over a million people each year, most of them in the "meningitis belt" in Africa, contract bacterial meningitis, a potentially deadly infection of tissues that line the brain and spinal cord. view more (2006-09-05)
Organised wind chaos on Jupiter
Jupiter, the largest planet of our solar system, offers a fascinating view. A number of Bands of different coloured clouds seem to embrace the planet like belts. view more (2005-11-10)
Strategies for preventing gastrointestinal complications in severely burned patients
Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common complication of severe burns. Injury to GI function, especially to GI barrier function, is an important initiator as well as a stimulator for occurrence of systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome following severe burns. view more (2008-09-18)
A change in the wind
Climate model simulations for the 21st century indicate a robust increase in wind shear in the tropical Atlantic due to global warming, which may inhibit hurricane development and intensification. view more (2007-04-18)
Rivers on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, resemble those on Earth
Recent evidence from the Huygens Probe of the Cassini Mission suggests that Titan, the largest moon orbiting Saturn, is a world where rivers of liquid methane sculpt channels in continents of ice. view more (2005-12-06)
Video game Everquest 2 provides new way to study human behavior, says U of Minnesota researcher
Can researchers study the populations of online video games, like Everquest 2, just as they study traditional communities like Miami, Pittsburgh or Minneapolis? view more (2009-03-02)
Molecular pathway appears crucial in development of pulmonary fibrosis
A study led by Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) researchers may have found a key mechanism underlying idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a usually fatal lung disease for which transplantation is the only successful treatment. view more (2007-12-13)
