University study shows low radiological risk to the public around atomic sites
A study team led by experts at the University of Southampton has found that there is no significant risk to the public from radioactive contamination from the Atomic Weapons Establishments at Aldermaston and Burghfield in West Berkshire. The three-year environmental radioactivity project, carried... view more (2002-08-07)

Scientists discover major genetic cause of colorectal cancer
About one-third of colorectal cancers are inherited, but the genetic cause of most of these cancers is unknown. The genes linked to colorectal cancer account for less than 5 percent of all cases.   view more (2008-08-15)

Hubble unveils colourful star birth region on 100 000th orbit milestone
In commemoration of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope completing its 100 000th orbit around the Earth in its 18th year of exploration and discovery, scientists have aimed Hubble to take a snapshot of a dazzling region of celestial birth and renewal.   view more (2008-08-11)

Mapping dynamic Polycomb group proteins during Drosophila development
The developmental passage from a ball of cells to a fruit-fly is a very complicated process involving both temporal and spatial regulation of genes and pathways.   view more (2006-04-20)

Turning huge data volumes into images
The first thing that a CAT scan of the human heart produces is simply data. Together with graphics hardware, the image processing software then constructs a picture that can be displayed on the computer. It's only natural that medical personnel, and even materials researchers, desire the most... view more (2003-02-20)

Hospitals provide formula sample packs while medical organizations encourage breastfeeding
A majority of U.S. hospitals on the East coast distribute formula sample packs to new mothers, contrary to recommendations from most major medical organizations concerned about the potential for distributing these packs to reduce breastfeeding rates.   view more (2008-09-02)

Detailed 3-D image catches a key regulator of neural stem cell differentiation in action
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in collaboration with scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) took a high resolution "action shot" of a protein switch that plays a crucial role in the development of the nervous system.   view more (2006-12-08)

A Glimpse of the Young Milky Way
VLT UVES Observes Most Metal-Deficient Star Known [1] A faint star in the southern Milky Way, designated HE 0107-5240, has been found to consist virtually only of hydrogen and helium. It has the lowest abundance of heavier elements ever observed, only 1/200,000 of that of the Sun - 20... view more (2002-10-28)

Chandra data reveal rapidly whirling black holes
A new study using results from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory provides one of the best pieces of evidence yet that many supermassive black holes are spinning extremely rapidly. The whirling of these giant black holes drives powerful jets that pump huge amounts of energy into their environment and... view more (2008-01-11)

Tackling Major Risk Factors Simultaneously Key To Improving Global Health (p 271)
Leading public-health scientists highlight in a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET how confronting major risk factors that lead to poor health could have a substantial effect in reducing premature deaths and morbidity globally-especially in the poorest areas of the world. This preventive... view more (2003-07-23)

A new wrinkle in evolution -- Man-made proteins
Nature, through the trial and error of evolution, has discovered a vast diversity of life from what can only presumed to have been a primordial pool of building blocks.   view more (2007-05-23)

New study: Why solar cells lose potency
Commercial products such as laptop computer monitors and solar-powered calculators are constructed from a light-sensitive material with a peculiar problem: When exposed to intense light, it forms defects, reducing the efficiency of the solar cells by 10 to 15 percent.   view more (2005-06-20)
