Programme for European leadership in telecoms started
A new European R&D programme has been started under the name CELTIC. The goal of this initiative is to sustain Europe's leadership in telecommunications. CELTIC was officially approved as a EUREKA cluster project on 23 October 2003. It is the first European R&D programme fully dedicated to end-to-end telecommunications systems.... view more...

Physicists wipe away complexity for a clearer view of heavy nuclei
Despite advances in experimental nuclear physics, the most detailed probing of atomic nuclei still requires heavy doses of advanced nuclear theory. The problem is that using theory to make meaningful predictions requires massive datasets that tax even high-powered supercomputers. view more (2007-03-15)
Supercomputers to transform science
New insights into the structure of space and time, climate modeling, and the design of novel drugs, are but a few of the many research areas that will be transformed by the installation of three supercomputers at the University of Bristol. view more (2006-06-07)
Isolated Star-Forming Cloud Discovered in Intracluster Space
Subaru and VLT Join Forces in New Study of Virgo Galaxy Cluster [1] At a distance of some 50 million light-years, the Virgo Cluster is the nearest galaxy cluster. It is located in the zodiacal constellation of the same name (The Virgin) and is a large and dense assembly of hundreds of galaxies. The "intracluster" space between the Virgo galaxies... view more... (2003-01-16)
Media invitation: Big Bang: Braunschweig Research Airport
The aerospace industry is one of the most important motivating forces of technological development and almost all high technologies in the information age are closely connected in this field. Especially in our region this sector has a particular key function which induces significant technological effects in further business sectors of the... view more... (2004-05-28)
Probably wireless
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) used to detect and report events including hurricanes, earthquakes, and forest fires and for military surveillance and antiterrorist activities are prone to subterfuge. view more (2008-09-04)
Monash team learns from nature to split water
An international team of researchers led by Monash University has used chemicals found in plants to replicate a key process in photosynthesis paving the way to a new approach that uses sunlight to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. view more (2008-08-18)
Experimental agent reduces breast cancer metastasis to bone
Researchers have reduced breast cancer metastasis to bone using an experimental agent to inhibit ROCK, a protein that was found to be over-expressed in metastatic breast cancer. view more (2009-11-04)
CACTUS conserves water in paper manufacture
The aim of the CACTUS technology programme, which was funded by the Technology Development Centre (Tekes) and major companies of the forest cluster and co-ordinated by VTT, the Technical Research Centre of Finland, was to reduce the consumption of water in the papermaking process. The performance of new water treatment methods as well as their... view more... (2001-08-09)
Solexa Completes First Full Genome Sequence with Cluster-SBS Technology
Results Provide End-to-End Experimental Demonstration of Future DNA Sequencing Technology, Lay Groundwork for Human Re-sequencing view more (2005-03-10)
Planets forming in Pleiades star cluster, astronomers report
Rocky terrestrial planets, perhaps like Earth, Mars or Venus, appear to be forming or to have recently formed around a star in the Pleiades ("seven sisters") star cluster, the result of "monster collisions" of planets or planetary embryos. view more (2007-11-16)
Fate in fly sensory organ precursor cells could explain human immune disorder
Notch signaling helps determine the fate of a number of different cell types in a variety of organisms, including humans. In an article that appears in the current issue of Nature Cell Biology, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine report that a new finding about the Notch signaling pathway in sensory organ precursor cells in the fruit fly... view more...

Unexpected similarities between raindrops and proteins
Raindrops and proteins seem to have a lot in common. This has been shown in a new study by scientists at Ume'å University in Sweden. The principle behind the formation of raindrops is very similar to how proteins fold. This knowledge is vital to our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. These findings have been published in... view more... (2004-05-26)
CSHL scientists discover specific small RNA pathways protect germ line from transposons
Cells of higher organisms are in a constant struggle against some of their own DNA - repeated bits of DNA sequence called transposons that have infiltrated host genomes over the eons. Transposons damage the rest of the genome when they copy themselves and jump into new genomic sites. view more (2009-05-06)
Structure of protective protein in the eye lens revealed
The human eye lens consists of a highly concentrated mix of several proteins. Protective proteins prevent these proteins from aggregating and clumping. view more (2009-08-03)
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)
A budding role for a cellular dynamo
Actin, a globular protein found in all eukaryotic cells, is a workhorse that varies remarkably little from baker's yeast to the human body. view more (2009-02-19)
UK Astronomers Survey Galactic Graveyard
An unprecedented source of planetary nebulae, the disk-like relics of elderly, dying stars, has been discovered in the southern part of our Milky Way galaxy. With about 1000 planetary nebulae found so far and many more still to be discovered, the number of aged stars in their death throes revealed by the new survey is rapidly overtaking the entire... view more...

Buckyballs make room for gilded cages
Scientists have uncovered a class of gold atom clusters that are the first known metallic hollow equivalents of the famous hollow carbon fullerenes known as buckyballs. view more (2006-05-16)
Brown Chemist Finds Gene That Enables Gray Mold to Kill Plant Cells
Gray mold is a gardener's nightmare. The fungus, also known by its scientific name Botrytis cinerea, is a scourge to more than 200 agricultural and ornamental plant species, including staples such as tomatoes, strawberries, snap and lima beans, cabbage, lettuce and endive, peas, peppers, and potatoes. view more (2008-12-02)
