The Blanca de Tudela (Tudela White) artichoke the most productive of all
The artichoke grown in Navarre, the Blanca de Tudela, appears earlier, is the most productive and has a greater industrial and agricultural yield than the rest of the varieties of this plant. This is the conclusion of researcher Juan Ignacio Macua Gonz'ˇlez in his PhD thesis defended at the Public University of Navarre.   view more (2004-02-19)

Scripps research team develops new technique to tap full potential of antibody libraries
In hopes of more fully tapping the libraries' potential, a group of Scripps Research Institute scientists, led by Scripps Research President Richard A. Lerner, M.D., has for the first time developed a new screening technique that enables antibody screening against equally massive libraries of targets.   view more (2009-01-16)

Not 1, but 2 kinds of males found in the invasive round goby
Scientists have found the existence of two types of males of a fiercely invasive fish spreading through the Great Lakes, which may provide answers as to how they rapidly reproduce.   view more (2009-06-16)

Numerical processing similar in children and adults, brain scans reveal
Four-year-olds who are still developing numerical abilities show activity in the same brain region during numerical tasks as do math-adept adults, Duke University researchers have found.   view more (2006-04-11)

Tangerine Ruff 'n' Sniff: new clue to bird social behaviour
Scientists believe they have opened the door to an overlooked area of bird behaviour - the use of social scents. The basic assumption is that vision and hearing are the main senses that birds use to signal each other, e.g. the colour of plumage; the sound of birdsong. This is questioned by new experimental evidence observed in the Crested Auklet,... view more... (2003-05-12)

Self-aligning liquid crystal technique could simplify manufacture of display devices
A new technique for creating vertical alignment among liquid crystal molecules could allow development of less costly flexible displays and lead to a better understanding of the factors that govern operation of the popular liquid crystal display systems.   view more (2006-09-25)

The Semiconductor Devices of the Future
When physicists sandwiched together different types of semiconductor to create the first transistor in 1947, they made bulky vacuum valves obsolete and so revolutionised the electronics industry. Since then researchers have been pushing the boundaries of semiconductor technology hoping for another revolution. At the 26th International Conference... view more... (2002-07-23)

New study finds obese women more impulsive than other females
A new study in the November issue of the journal Appetite finds that obese women display significantly weaker impulse control than normal-weight women, but between obese and normal-weight men, the impulsivity levels are nearly the same.   view more (2008-11-11)

Brain structure provides key to unraveling function of bizarre dinosaur crests
Paleontologists have long debated the function of the strange, bony crests on the heads of the duck-billed dinosaurs known as lambeosaurs. The structures contain incredibly long, convoluted nasal passages that loop up over the tops of their skulls.   view more (2008-10-16)

Science in the making receives major Heritage Lottery funding
The Royal Institution of Great Britain (Ri), the home of science communication and scientific discovery, has been awarded a Stage One Pass for almost £5m from the Heritage Lottery Fund. The support will ensure that the Ri is able to exhibit the work of great scientists such as Sir Humphry Davy, Michael Faraday, James Dewar, William Bragg and... view more... (2004-03-11)

Early-stage immune system control of HIV may depend on inherited factors
How well an individual's immune system controls HIV during the earliest phases of infection appears to depend on both the specific versions of key immune-system molecules called HLA Class I that have been inherited, as well as on the fragments of viral protein those molecules display to the T lymphocytes that usually destroy infected cells.   view more (2006-11-06)

Bone parts don't add up to conclusion of Palauan dwarfs
Misinterpreted fragments of leg bones, teeth and brow ridges found in Palau appear to be an archaeologist's undoing, according to researchers at three institutions. They say that the so-called dwarfs of these Micronesian islands actually were modern, normal-sized hunters and gatherers.   view more (2008-08-27)

Advances in nebulised drug delivery
AROUND £50 million of National Health Service money a year is spent nebulising drug aerosols to patients with asthma, cystic fibrosis and infections. Drug delivery by this route currently escapes attention from the regulatory authorities because the drug is sold separately from the delivery device and clinical practice is based largely on... view more...
