Large study confirms UK Gulf war servicemen report more ill health
The largest study of UK Gulf war servicemen, published today in BMC Public Health confirms that forces deployed to the first Gulf War report more ill health than veterans who did not serve there. Rebecca Simmons, Noreen Maconochie and Pat Doyle from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine found that Gulf war veterans were more likely to... view more... (2004-07-08)

Discovered after 40 years: Moon dust hazard influenced by Sun's elevation
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Apollo Moon Program struggled with a minuscule, yet formidable enemy: sticky lunar dust. Four decades later, a new study reveals that forces compelling lunar dust to cling to surfaces -- ruining scientific experiments and endangering astronauts' health --change during the lunar day with the elevation of the sun. view more (2009-04-20)

Cell 'anchors' required to prevent muscular dystrophy
A protein that was first identified for playing a key role in regulating normal heart rhythms also appears to be significant in helping muscle cells survive the forces of muscle contraction. The clue was a laboratory mouse that seemed to have a form of muscular dystrophy. view more (2009-01-14)
Academics' detective work to speed up crime scene investigation
Kingston University is heading a major investigation that could help police officers solve crime more quickly. Experts from Kingston's Digital Imaging Research Centre have joined forces with Surrey University and independent research organisation Sira for a project called REVEAL (Recovering Evidence from Video by Fusing Video Evidence Thesaurus... view more...

Thorough tests for car seats
A car seat can be a life-saver in the case of an accident. The seats absorb the forces of impact and protect passengers from injury. Even under normal circumstances, car seats have to withstand a great deal: In the course of its useful life, a front seat is moved forward and back thousands of times, it has to absorb vibrations from unpaved roads,... view more...

Hubble sees 'Comet Galaxy' being ripped apart by galaxy cluster
There are many galaxies of different shapes and sizes around us today. Roughly half are gas-poor elliptical-shaped galaxies with little new star formation activity, and half are gas-rich spiral and irregular galaxies with high star formation activity. Observations have shown that gas-poor galaxies are most often found near the centre of crowded... view more... (2007-03-05)

Large centrifuge helps researchers mimic effects of Katrina on levees
Researchers studying the effects of Hurricane Katrina on the levees of New Orleans used a 150 g-ton centrifuge to model one of New Orleans' levee sections and the hurricane forces that led to its failure. view more (2006-03-22)
'Sticky nanotubes' hold key to future technologies
Researchers at Purdue University are the first to precisely measure the forces required to peel tiny nanotubes off of other materials, opening up the possibility of creating standards for nano-manufacturing and harnessing a gecko's ability to walk up walls. view more (2008-04-29)
Engineers point way to better use of nanotubes as measuring tips
Engineers at Purdue University have shown how researchers might better use tiny hollow fibers called "multi-walled carbon nanotubes" to more precisely measure structures and devices for electronics and other applications. view more (2005-10-13)
Risk and reward compete in brain
That familiar pull between the promise of victory and the dread of defeat - whether in money, love or sport - is rooted in the brain's architecture, according to a new imaging study. view more (2008-10-10)
