Promising Drug Combination May Help Those with Ocular Melanoma that has Spread
A combination of two drugs shows promise in treating a rare and therapy-resistant type of melanoma that originates in the eye and spreads to other organs, according to a new study led by Duke University Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers. view more (2007-09-05)
Funding boost for X-ray work on the chemical make-up of materials
A Durham University research team is preparing to extend basic understanding of chemical systems using new equipment originally developed for use in space. The Chemistry Department project, led by Professor Judith Howard, has secured £188,000 of key funding towards the cost of an ultra-high-tech X-ray facility. The new facility is based on a... view more... (2000-12-19)
Nine Countries Plan to Participate in the XFEL
An important milestone has been reached on the way towards the realization of the European X-ray laser XFEL: With France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, nine countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in which they agree to jointly prepare the foundation of the facility. "Even if this... view more... (2005-01-24)
No matter their size black holes 'feed' in the same way
Research by UK astronomers, published today in Nature (7th December 2006) reveals that the processes at work in black holes of all sizes are the same and that supermassive black holes are simply scaled up versions of small Galactic black holes. view more (2006-12-07)
The dark matter of the universe has a long lifetime
New research from the Niels Bohr Institute presents new information that adds another piece of knowledge to the jigsaw puzzle of the dark mystery of the universe - dark matter. The research has just been published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters. view more (2007-10-02)
Full 3-D image of nanocrystals' interior created by shining X-rays through them
A vital step towards the ultimate goal of being able to take 'photographs' of individual molecules in action has been achieved by an international team led by UCL (University College London) researchers at the London Centre for Nanotechnology. view more (2006-07-06)
World's largest robotic telescope ready for action!
The Liverpool Telescope, the world's largest fully robotic telescope, has snapped its first images of the heavens this week. This 2 meter optical telescope is owned by the Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) of Liverpool John Moores University (JMU), but observes autonomously from its site on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The telescope was... view more... (2003-08-04)
Discovery in 'Bubble Boy' disease gene therapy
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have developed a mouse model of a severe disease of the immune system that helps explain why gene therapy used to treat children with this disease at an institution in Europe caused some of them to develop leukemia. view more (2006-08-02)
UK study quantifies cancer risk from diagnostic X-rays (pp 340, 345)
The most detailed calculation of its kind to estimate the risk of cancer from exposure to diagnostic X-rays is published in this week's issue of THE LANCET. It suggests that in the UK around 700 of the 124,000 cases of cancer diagnosed annually could be attributable to exposure to diagnostic X-rays. Diagnostic X-rays (used in conventional... view more...

Screening chest x-ray detects early-stage lung cancers at high rates, study results show
Almost half of lung cancers detected by a chest x-ray were early-stage cancers, according to baseline results of a large, randomized clinical trial that is testing the efficacy of a chest x-ray as a screening test for lung cancer. view more (2005-12-21)
Cleveland Clinic leading clinical program to improve early-stage lung cancer detection
Cleveland Clinic and Riverain Medical today announced the establishment of the first study in an ongoing program to determine whether chest X-ray CAD (computer-aided detection) can improve practical early detection of lung cancer. view more (2007-11-27)
Precise Radio-Telescope Measurements Advance Frontier Gravitational Physics
Scientists using a continent-wide array of radio telescopes have made an extremely precise measurement of the curvature of space caused by the Sun's gravity, and their technique promises a major contribution to a frontier area of basic physics. view more (2009-09-02)
Giant simulation could solve mystery of 'dark matter'
The search for a mysterious substance which makes up most of the Universe could soon be at an end, according to new research. view more (2008-11-06)
German Science Council Recommends International Accelerator Project TESLA
The German Science Council, an agency of the German government, assessed the TESLA project planned by the research center DESY in cooperation with international partners to, be worthy of support under certain conditions. The assessments of nine appraised large scale facilities for basic research in the natural sciences have been published today.... view more... (2002-11-18)
Non-Destructive Residual Stress Analysis
Every manufacturing process, from casting and forging, to machining and finishing, induces residual stresses in components. For critical components, such as aircraft wings and turbine blades, these stresses affect the durability and lifetime of the structures and assemblies. Current methods are either destructive (e.g. hole drilling), limited to... view more... (2004-03-11)
Doctors commonly fail to detect lung cancer on chest x-ray films
Failure to detect lung cancer on chest x-rays is not uncommon, reveals research in Postgraduate Medical Journal. The ensuing delay in diagnosis and the start of treatment may contribute to some of the lowest survival rates in Europe for the disease, say the authors. view more (2002-03-04)
A first experiment with the new "free-electron laser"
An international group of scientists has published first experiments carried out using the new soft X-ray free-electron laser (FEL) at the research center DESY (Nature, vol 420, p 482-485 and p 467). Using small clusters of noble gas atoms, for the first time, researchers studied the interaction of matter with intense X-ray radiation from an FEL... view more... (2002-12-05)
Is the Universe older than expected?
An analysis of 13.5 thousand million-year-old X-rays, captured by ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, has shown that either the Universe may be older than astronomers had thought or that mysterious, undiscovered 'iron factories' litter the early Universe. ESA`s Norbert Schartel and colleagues from the Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische... view more... (2002-07-10)
Gene therapy corrects sickle cell disease in laboratory study
Using a harmless virus to insert a corrective gene into mouse blood cells, scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have alleviated sickle cell disease pathology. view more (2008-12-04)
Alzheimer's disease therapeutic prevents long-term damage from TBI in pre-clinical studies
A class of Alzheimer's disease drugs currently studied in clinical trials appears to reduce damage caused by traumatic brain injury in animals, researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center report in an upcoming advance online publication of Nature Medicine. view more (2009-03-16)
