New fabricated material changes color instantly in response to external magnetic field
A research team led by a chemist at the University of California, Riverside has fabricated microscopic polymer beads that change color instantly and reversibly when external magnetic fields acting upon the microspheres change orientation. view more (2009-06-17)
DNA Model Recognised As New Guinness World Record: Massive model seeks new home
The world's largest model of DNA, built at the Potteries Shopping Centre in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday 9 March, has today been recognised as a new world record by Guinness World Records. The 10.78 metre model, containing over 1500 atoms, will be on display at the Potteries Shopping Centre until 18 March, after which it will be seeking a new home.... view more... (2002-03-12)
The University of Surrey to lead a European Study on the Genetics of Addiction
The University of Surrey today announced that it is to lead a major European research initiative in the genetics of drug addiction, funded by an EUR8.1 million contract from the European Commission. The effort brings together eight leading public and private research organisations with the aim of identifying genes involved in addiction and... view more... (2005-01-17)
Motor proteins may be vehicles for drug delivery

Ultrasound upgrade produces images that work like 3-D movies
Parents-to-be might soon don 3-D glasses in the ultrasound lab to see their developing fetuses in the womb "in living 3-D, just like at the IMAX movies," according to researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. view more (2007-04-25)
Lack of time on tummy shown to hinder achievement
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) is urging parents and caregivers to ensure that babies get enough "tummy time" throughout the day while they are awake and supervised, in light of a recent survey of therapists who say they've noticed an increase in motor delays in infants who spend too much time on their backs while awake. view more (2008-08-07)
Gas bubbles are taken under control
The system developed by the Moscow scientists with the financial assistance of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises will instantly allow to detect and measure gas micro-bubbles being formed in blood inside the pump oxygenator. A small device which looks like some kind of a... view more... (2003-11-14)

Antisocial children are a financial drain on society, but parental training can help
Children who display antisocial behaviour cost society 10 times more than those with no problems and are at high risk of lifelong social exclusion, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. However, a second study reports that parental training programmes can be a cost effective way to nip serious antisocial behaviour in children in the bud. In the... view more... (2001-07-25)
Fly with brain tumor may shed light on cancer causing genes
A study showing how the expression of genes changes when the brain tissue of fruit flies becomes cancerous is published this week in BMC Genomics. As the function of many of these genes is conserved across evolution, the researchers expect their results will help us to understand why human brain tumors develop. The causes of brain tumor... view more... (2004-04-14)

German Neanderthals together
In 1856 a group of workmen entered a cave in the Neander Valley to clean out the rubbish. Some odd bones were found which researchers Fuhlrott and Schaaffhausen recognized as being from an unknown, very old human. More Neanderthal remains were found thereafter, but the species got a very bad press. This ugly creature could by no means belong to... view more... (1999-03-09)
Virtual Reality in the Theatre
As all cinema-goers have noticed, the use of computers in film-making has had considerable impact, helping to create special effects that would have been impossible just a decade ago. Now, thanks to the work of a visiting academic at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC), computers are being used to add a whole new dimension to theatre... view more... (2000-03-07)
During exercise, the human brain shifts into high gear on 'alternative energy'
Alternative energy is all the rage in major media headlines, but for the human brain, this is old news. According to a study by researchers from Denmark and The Netherlands published in the October 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal, the brain, just like muscles, works harder during strenuous exercise and is fueled by lactate, rather than... view more...

When Cobras Spit, There's Not a Dry Eye in the House
Spitting cobras spit their venom into the faces of potential attackers - according to some reports even across a distance of several metres. This venomous cocktail of toxins hits the victim's eyes surprisingly often and may leave them blinded. University of Bonn zoologists have discovered how the snakes optimise their accuracy rate: while they are... view more... (2005-02-09)
Experts: Failure to focus on farming will undermine global climate agreement and increase hunger
Alarmed by a substantial oversight in the global climate talks leading up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen next month, more than 60 of the world's most prominent agricultural scientists and leaders underscored how the almost total absence of agriculture in the agreement could lead to widespread famine and food... view more...

Professor makes sense of chaos
Research by a University of Sunderland psychologist has revealed that one in four people may have a special gift for predicting uncertainties like the weather. Tests carried out by Professor Richard Heath, from the university's Business School, also showed that this uncanny ability could possibly extend to the financial markets. During his... view more...
