The most important candidate genes for pancreatic stone formation
Stone formation is an important feature of chronic pancreatitis, especially tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP), where the stones are large in size, highly irregular in shape and cause enormous tissue destruction. view more (2007-11-14)
VERITAS telescopes help solve 100-year-old mystery: The origin of cosmic rays
Nearly 100 years ago, scientists detected the first signs of cosmic rays - subatomic particles (mostly protons) that zip through space at nearly the speed of light. view more (2009-11-03)
New study questions dark matter in galaxies and clusters of galaxies
A new paper examines galaxy rotation curves without exotic dark matter and seeks to describe a modified Newtonian acceleration law derived from a relativistic modification of Einstein's gravitational theory. view more (2006-01-20)
Study finds two supermassive black holes spiraling toward collision
A pair of supermassive black holes in the distant universe are intertwined and spiraling toward a merger that will create a single super-supermassive black hole capable of swallowing billions of stars. view more (2006-04-06)
The Milky Way shaped life on Earth
Frenzied star-making in the Milky Way Galaxy starting about 2400 million years ago had extraordinary effects on life on Earth. view more (2006-11-15)
Hubble sees dark matter ring in a galaxy cluster
A team of astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to find the best evidence yet for the existence of dark matter, present in the form of a ghostly ring in a galaxy cluster. view more (2007-05-17)
JHU-STScI team maps dark matter in startling detail
Clues revealed by the recently sharpened view of the Hubble Space Telescope have allowed astronomers to map the location of invisible "dark matter" in unprecedented detail in two very young galaxy clusters. view more (2005-12-12)
Dark matter mystery deepens in cosmic 'train wreck'
Astronomers have discovered a chaotic scene unlike any witnessed before in a cosmic "train wreck" between giant galaxy clusters. view more (2007-08-17)
Quasars help trace ancestors of giant elliptical galaxies
By using the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as a `time machine`, astronomers from the Universities of Edinburgh and Oxford in the UK and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore in the USA have been able to trace back the history of massive elliptical galaxies. They have found that galaxies of this kind, which still exist today,... view more... (2002-04-04)
Intense heat killed the Universe's would-be galaxies, researchers say
Our Milky Way galaxy only survived because it was already immersed in a large clump of dark matter which trapped gases inside it. view more (2009-07-01)
Galaxy evolution in cyber universe matches astronomical observations in fine detail
Scientists at the University of Chicago have bolstered the case for a popular scenario of the big bang theory that neatly explains the arrangement of galaxies throughout the universe. view more (2006-06-06)
NASA's Fermi Finds Gamma-ray Galaxy Surprises
Back in June 1991, just before the launch of NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, astronomers knew of gamma rays from exactly one galaxy beyond our own. view more (2009-07-15)
Researchers present Phase 2 clinical results for Acologix AC-100
Today, researchers from Acologix (Hayward, CA, USA), the University of California (San Francisco, USA), and the University of Connecticut (Simsbury, USA) will announce the results of a Phase 2 clinical trial of AC-100 (also known as Dentonin), reporting that it met its primary goal of stimulating the formation of new dentin when applied directly... view more...

Serendipitous observations reveal rare event in life of distant quasar
A bit of serendipity has given astronomers a surprise view of a never-before-observed event in the birth of a galaxy. view more (2008-10-22)
Queen's physicist unlocking the mysteries of neighbouring galaxies
An international team of astronomers, including Queen's University physicist Larry Widrow, have uncovered evidence of a nearby cosmic encounter. view more (2009-09-08)
'Cosmic ghost' discovered by volunteer astronomer
When Yale astrophysicist Kevin Schawinski and his colleagues at Oxford University enlisted public support in cataloguing galaxies, they never envisioned the strange object Hanny van Arkel found in archived images of the night sky. view more (2008-08-06)
Galaxy 'Hunting' Made Easy
Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered in a single pass about a dozen otherwise invisible galaxies halfway across the Universe. The discovery, based on a technique that exploits a first-class instrument, represents a major breakthrough in the field of galaxy 'hunting'. view more (2007-09-17)
Scientist refines cosmic clock to determine age of Milky Way
The University of Chicago's Nicolas Dauphas has developed a new way to calculate the age of the Milky Way that is free of the unvalidated assumptions that have plagued previous methods. view more (2005-06-30)
Enzyme promotes fat formation
The enzyme TPPII may contribute to obesity by stimulating the formation of fat cells, suggests a study in EMBO reports this week. The enzyme, TPPII, has previously been linked to making people feel hungry, but Jonathan Graff and colleagues now show that it may be even more deeply involved in causing obesity. view more (2007-10-12)
Scientists Probe Black Hole's Inner Sanctum
How does matter spiral its way to the center of a galaxy and into the mouth of a supermassive black hole? view more (2006-01-10)
