MU Physicist Says Testing Technique for Gravitomagnetic Field is Ineffective
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has fascinated physicists and generated debate about the origin of the universe and the structure of objects like black holes and complex stars called quasars.   view more (2007-06-04)

Towards a new test of general relativity?
Scientists funded by the European Space Agency have measured the gravitational equivalent of a magnetic field for the first time in a laboratory. Under certain special conditions the effect is much larger than expected from general relativity and could help physicists to make a significant step... view more (2006-03-24)

Delft research increases understanding of Earth's magnetic field
Research recently conducted at Delft University of Technology marks an important step forward in understanding the origins of the Earth's magnetic field. The research findings are published this week in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters.   view more (2007-03-12)

Consciousness - the hardest problem in science
A Surrey scientist claims to have an answer to what is often considered to be the hardest problem in science (sometimes just known as the "Hard Problem"): why we are aware. Johnjoe McFadden, Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Surrey, has previously proposed that... view more (2002-09-05)

Surprisingly rapid changes in the Earth's core discovered
In a recent paper published in Nature Geoscience, the geophysicist Mioara MANDEA from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam and her Danish colleague Nils OLSEN from the National Space Institute/DTU Copenhagen, have shown that motions in the fluid in the Earth's core are changing... view more (2008-07-08)

Fluctuating eye pressure associated with visual field deterioration in glaucoma patients
Fluctuations in eye pressure may be associated with a decreasing peripheral field of vision in patients with glaucoma, even if their eye pressure remains low overall.   view more (2007-08-14)

Epilepsy drug causes eye problems in over 40 per cent of cases
Vigabatrin, a drug used to treat epilepsy, causes eye problems in over 40 per cent of those prescribed it, shows a study in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Vigabatrin was licensed in the UK in 1989 and was the first anti-epileptic drug to come on to the marked since the 1970s.... view more (2002-08-20)

Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields.   view more (2007-11-02)

Researching Education - Widening the Debate
The report brings research on schools, further and higher education into the necessary relationship with the wider educational scenario that the government has sought to promote. It is an interesting review of the field of educational research and one which illuminates the current intensive... view more (1999-07-15)

Earth's magnetic field really did reverse itself
NWO researchers have developed an improved method of identifying the magnetic signals in old geological strata. The researchers used the new method to show that the earth's magnetic field really did reverse itself ten million years ago. Particles of iron in sediments orient themselves in accordance... view more (2001-11-27)

New coil to make magnetic resonance (MR) imaging easier
Oxford University researchers have devised a novel coil design for magnetic resonance (MR) application, devised specifically for deep organ MR where sensitive imaging and spectroscopy have been previously difficult. Deep organ magnetic resonance requires maximised sensitivity and magnetic field... view more (2003-01-24)

SCI LECTURE PAPERS SERIES NOW AVAILABLE VIA WEB
The first meeting proceedings to be published in the new Lecture Paper Series are from Hydrogenation, a meeting organised by the SCI Oils and Fats Group. Now available on the Internet, the programme comprised a series of papers covering the history, technology and applications of hydrogenation in... view more (1999-01-28)

Ultra-high-field MRI allows for earlier diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
Ultra-high-field (7T) MRI can detect multiple sclerosis lesions better than MRI which can lead to possible earlier diagnosis and treatment.   view more (2007-05-07)

Evolutionary phenomenon in mice may explain human infertility
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found that field mice have evolved a unique way of ensuring faster fertilisation, a phenomenon which could explain some cases of infertility in humans.   view more (2008-01-23)

Lava flows reveal clues to magnetic field reversals
Ancient lava flows are guiding a better understanding of what generates and controls the Earth's magnetic field - and what may drive it to occasionally reverse direction.   view more (2008-09-29)

One-Touch Pathology Slide Microscanning
In clinical pathology the diagnostic process is a multi-step process where the pathologist views a prepared tissue sample on an optical microscope. The pathologist switches repeatedly between a low magnification, wide field view of the whole sample to a high magnification, narrow field view of... view more (2004-02-19)

News from Earth's magnetic field
It is widely known that the geomagnetic field shields our planet against highly energetic cosmic particles. The importance of the magnetic field for answering geological, tectonic or even archaeological questions is less known.   view more (2007-12-21)

It will be possible to predict earthquakes from space
The scientists of the Department of Physics, Moscow State University, have proposed to predict earthquakes by measuring polarization of the solar light that is reflected from the surface of the Earth. The small and cheap equipment, which the scientists have designed, can be placed on meteorological... view more (2001-01-17)

A Window towards the Distant Universe
The Osservatorio Astronomico Capodimonte Deep Field (OACDF) is a multi-colour imaging survey project that is opening a new window towards the distant universe. It is conducted with the ESO Wide Field Imager (WFI), a 67-million pixel advanced camera attached to the MPG/ESO 2.2-m telescope at the La... view more (2001-04-11)

Unravelling a cosmic mystery-scientists discover the Universe's strongest magnetic field
Scientists from The University of Exeter and the International University, Bremen have discovered what is thought to be the strongest magnetic field in the Universe.   view more (2006-03-31)

Ceramic/metal interface fracture toughness
Ceramic/metal joints have been increasingly applied in a wide range of engineering fields because the ceramic has stable mechanical properties at high temperature and good resistance to wear, erosion and oxidation.   view more (2005-09-29)

Surprising new water property discovered
At a microscopic level, water molecules behave rather like the needle of a compass. Just as the needle moves when surrounded by a magnetic field (such as that of the Earth), water molecules move slightly in one direction when there is an electric field. Or at least that is what physicists thought... view more (2004-05-13)

Astronomers report unprecedented double helix nebula near center of the Milky Way
Astronomers report an unprecedented elongated double helix nebula near the center of our Milky Way galaxy, using observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.   view more (2006-03-16)
