Childhood weight linked to proximity to green space and food stores
Living in greener neighborhoods or in closer proximity to grocery stores is associated with reduced risk of being overweight, according to a study of more than 7,000 children ages 3 to 18 conducted by researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine; the Department of Geography, Indiana... view more (2007-02-26)

UAB Scientists break the hard drive miniaturisation limit
Magnetic memory-based information storage systems are getting smaller and smaller, while their capacities are getting larger. However, there is a limit to how small they can get. If the tiny magnets used to store information are smaller than around five nanometres (millionths of a millimetre),... view more (2003-07-10)

Chemical in red wine, fruits and vegetables stops cancer, heart disease, depending on the dose
The next cancer drug might come straight from the grocery store, according to new research published in the November 2007 issue of The FASEB Journal. In the study, French scientists describe how high and low doses of polyphenols have different effects. Most notably, they found that very high doses... view more (2007-10-30)

Congestive heart failure leads to greater disability, nursing home admissions
Medical breakthroughs in recent decades have allowed heart attack survivors and other heart-disease patients to live longer. But as their hearts decline into congestive heart failure, an increasing number will experience disability and the need for nursing-home care.   view more (2008-01-08)

Root Beer May Be "Safest" Soft Drink for Teeth
Exposing teeth to soft drinks, even for a short period of time, causes dental erosion—and prolonged exposure can lead to significant enamel loss. Root beer products, however, are non-carbonated and do not contain the acids that harm teeth.   view more (2007-03-21)

Shoplifting Exposed
University of Leicester research has used former shoplifters to reveal the weak spots in store security. With the aid of miniature concealed cameras - known as "thiefcams" - concealed about their person, the volunteer shoplifters went into shops to reveal the ploys and tactics of their... view more (2002-02-04)

Dartmouth study contributes to research addressing malnutrition and iron deficiency

Health food store recommendations could be bad for your health
Patients with breast cancer may be put at risk if they follow misleading advice from health food store employees. Research published this week in Breast Cancer Research shows that store assistants often recommend products with no proven benefit, that are also expensive and potentially harmful.   view more (2003-08-04)

Shoulder tapping -- U of M study finds young men more willing to purchase alcohol for underage youth

Region hit hard by 1993 floods showed economic resiliency, study indicates
With the first wave of clean-up efforts behind them, residents of communities affected by this year's Midwest floods may find hope in a University of Illinois study on the economic impact of the 1993 flood that devastated much of the same region.   view more (2008-07-25)

Memory in artificial atoms
Three of our nano-physicists have made a discovery that can change the way we store data on our computers. This means that in the future we can store data much faster, and more accurate. Their discovery has been published in the scientific journal Nature Physics.   view more (2008-04-08)

A new technique for curing blindness, squeezing a thousand DVDs into a matchbox and finding the missing link in optoelectronics – all covered in the January/February issue of Opto and Laser Europe
CURING BLINDNESS Age related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the principal cause of blindness for patients over 50 in the developed world.
