Astronomers discover link between supermassive black holes and galaxy formation
A pair of astronomers from Texas and Germany have used a telescope at The University of Texas at Austin's McDonald Observatory together with Hubble Space Telescope and many other telescopes around the world to uncover new evidence that the largest, most massive galaxies in the universe and the supermassive black holes at their hearts grew together... view more...

Researchers explain odd oxygen bonding under pressure
Oxygen, the third most abundant element in the cosmos and essential to life on Earth, changes its forms dramatically under pressure transforming to a solid with spectacular colors. Eventually it becomes metallic and a superconductor. view more (2008-08-05)
Virginia Tech experts available to speak on the possible discovery of Asian Soybean Rust spores
Virginia Tech scientists say that there has been a change in the status of the fungus causing Asian Soybean Rust but that the new information is still too preliminary for any action on the part of the Commonwealth's soybean producers. view more (2005-08-24)
Chronic Alcohol Exposure Can Affect Brain Protein Expression
Researchers at the University at Buffalo studying the effects of alcohol on the brain, using zebrafish as a model, have identified several novel central nervous system proteins that are affected by chronic alcohol exposure. view more (2006-08-30)
Data on Life Expectancy Show Many Countries Clustered in High Mortality Traps
Growing recognition of the importance of health as a contributing factor to economic development and societal change has prompted the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) to add a new subsection in Sustainable Health to its existing section on Sustainable Development. view more (2007-10-11)
Researchers reveal HIV peptide's possible pathway into the cell
Two theoretical physicists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have uncovered what they believe is the long-sought-after pathway that an HIV peptide takes to enter healthy cells. The theorists analyzed two years of biocomputation and simulation to uncover a surprisingly simple mechanism describing how this protein fragment penetrates the cell... view more... (2008-01-18)
Press invitation - Research And Water: Global Visions, Local Actions
Water is and has been determinant for life. Its presence and quality conditions human settlements, economic development and ecosystems. Unavoidably, industry consumes water, and waste originating from production processes often has negative impacts on the environment and on human health. As pointed out by Philippe Busquin, Commisioner for... view more... (2002-04-29)
New technique boosts protein NMR imaging speeds
Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, or SSNMR, is a valuable tool to image and analyze the chemical makeup of proteins and other biomolecules. But the imaging process is time-consuming and requires large amounts of costly isotope-labeled sample for study. view more (2009-02-10)
RAND study finds vaccination of nursing home staff, residents, key to reducing flu outbreak
Potentially deadly influenza outbreaks in nursing homes are less likely to occur when large numbers of staff and residents get flu shots, according to a study issued today by the RAND Corporation. view more (2006-11-16)
Alzheimer's research yields potential drug target
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara and several other institutions have found laboratory evidence that a cluster of peptides may be the toxic agent in Alzheimer's disease. Scientists say the discovery may lead to new drugs for the disease. view more (2009-07-02)
Research advances understanding of how hydrogen fuel is made
Oxygen may be necessary for life, but it sure gets in the way of making hydrogen fuel cheaply and abundantly from a family of enzymes present in many microorganisms. view more (2005-10-06)
Hubble captures outstanding views of mammoth stars
Two of our Galaxy's most massive stars have been scrutinised in an impressive view by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. They have, until recently, been shrouded in mystery, but the new image shows them in greater detail than ever before. view more (2008-11-26)
Molecular profiling can accurately predict survival in colon cancer patients
Researchers in The Netherlands have developed a method of accurately predicting which patients with colon cancer are most likely to have their disease recur after surgery and who would, therefore, be likely to benefit from additional chemotherapy. view more (2007-09-26)
Turbulence May Promote the Birth of Massive Stars
On long, dark winter nights, the constellation of Orion the Hunter dominates the sky. Within the Hunter's sword, the Orion Nebula swaddles a cluster of newborn stars called the Trapezium. These stars are young but powerful, each one shining with the brilliance of 100,000 Suns. They are also massive, containing 15 to 30 times as much material as... view more... (2009-02-24)
New European research network to make EC policies on immigration and integration more knowledge-based starts on 13th March in Amsterdam
On 13th and 14th of March the Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA) hosts the constitutive meeting of the Board of Directors of IMISCOE, the new network of excellence for issues on migration, integration and social cohesion. At the meeting representatives of nineteen European research institutions will take the first step towards providing more... view more... (2004-03-09)
Intermittent prophylaxis prevents malaria in infants
Giving infants preventive treatment for malaria can reduce malaria and anaemia even in seasonal, high transmission areas such as Ghana, finds a study in this week's BMJ. view more (2005-09-30)
Small nanoparticles bring big improvement to medical imaging
If you're watching the complex processes in a living cell, it is easy to miss something important-especially if you are watching changes that take a long time to unfold and require high-spatial-resolution imaging. view more (2009-11-18)
Caltech scientists get detailed glimpse of chemoreceptor architecture in bacterial cells
Using state-of-the-art electron microscopy techniques, a team led by researchers from Caltech has for the first time visualized and described the precise arrangement of chemoreceptors-the receptors that sense and respond to chemical stimuli-in bacteria. view more (2009-09-25)
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)
ESA studies the Sun-Earth climate link
Meteorologists can no longer view the Earth as an isolated system. Both long-term climate changes and day-to-day weather show links with the Sun`s activity. Scientists therefore study the nature of those links intensely. With data from ESA`s spaceprobes SOHO, Cluster, and Ulysses, we now have the information we need to solve the mystery of how the... view more... (2002-08-23)
