X-rays For Cars
A new device that X-rays coatings on car body parts will help manufacturers ensure that vehicles are properly protected from corrosion. The machine flashes radiation onto the surface of body panels and measures the fluorescent emissions given off. Gaps or defects are then easily spotted, allowing manufacturers to ensure that protective coatings... view more... (1998-10-26)
Hotter is better for removing allergens in laundry
A new study finds that the heat setting you choose when doing laundry makes all the difference when it comes to killing dust mites. view more (2007-05-21)
Getting into hot water
An analysis of the engineering and economics for a solar water-heating system shows it to have a payback period of just two years, according to researchers in India. They report, in the International Journal of Global Energy Issues, on the success of the 1000-liter system operating at a university hostel. view more (2009-03-09)
Predicting Volcanic Eruptions
The weather forecast could help predict volcanic eruptions, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA). Scientists from UEA`s School of Environmental Sciences found that intense rainfall can trigger volcanic dome collapse - a particular type of eruption that occurs when a build-up of molten rock inside the side of the... view more...

Study finds it pays to be heart smart if considering hormone therapy
A research study has found that a simple blood test may indicate whether post-menopausal hormone therapies present an elevated risk of a heart attack. view more (2008-05-22)
Biggest ever Gamma Ray search starts in Namibia
The world's most sensitive Gamma Ray telescopes are being inaugurated in Namibia (in Southwest Africa) on September 3rd. The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), a European/African collaboration in which the UK is a partner, will look for Gamma Rays produced by the most energetic particles in the Universe. The array initially consists of... view more... (2002-08-28)
Study Shows Younger Women With Endometrial Cancer Can Safely Keep Ovaries, Avoid Early Menopause
In the largest study to date on the safety of ovarian preservation in women aged 45 and younger who were surgically treated for early-stage endometrial cancer, researchers have found that there is no survival benefit associated with surgical removal of the ovaries, compared to women whose ovaries were left intact. view more (2009-01-29)
Navigating through Athens
Around 11,000 athletes converge on Athens for the 28th Summer Olympiad. Fraunhofer researchers are contributing to the success of the event with several projects, including a system that enables visitors to obtain multimedia tourist information via mobile phone. --- Being a tourist in a big city is not easy. Dragging whining children and irritated... view more... (2004-08-27)
Politicians Must Listen To The Scientists Or We Face Diasaster
The University of Surrey's School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences held their 'Festival of Research' to celebrate the world class research success of the School, and to facilitate new collaborations on June 18. Amongst the speakers for the event was the renowned world authority on food safety, Professor Hugh Pennington, Professor of... view more... (2004-06-28)
UGA astronomers discover surprising shortage of hot gas in famed spiral galaxy NGC 1068
Spiral galaxies are the glitter of the universe. These systems of stars, dust, gas and plasma are held together by gravity but seem to pinwheel across the darkness of space. view more (2006-06-06)
Genetic adaptations key to microbe's survival in challenging environment
The genome of a marine bacterium living 2,500 meters below the ocean's surface is providing clues to how life adapts in extreme thermal and chemical gradients, according to an article published Feb. 6 in the journal PLoS Genetics, an open-access publication published by the Public Library of Science. view more (2009-02-11)
Scientists explore huge volume of molten rock now frozen into the crust under the ocean's floor
For the first time scientists have mapped the layers of once molten rock that lie beneath the edges of the Atlantic Ocean and measure over eight miles thick in some locations. view more (2008-03-28)
Lightning research sparks new discovery
Lightning, a high-voltage discharge that strikes quickly and sometimes fatally, is very difficult to study. view more (2005-11-01)
Tornado-like rotation is key to understanding volcanic plumes
A 200-year-old report by a sea captain and photographs of the 2008 eruption of Mount Chaiten are helping scientists better understand strong volcanic plumes. view more (2009-03-26)
Treatment for early prostate cancer associated with type of specialist seen
A new study analyzing men with localized prostate cancer shows that the specialty of the physician they see can influence the type of therapy they ultimately receive. view more (2007-06-04)
Astronomers find puzzling dwarf star with complex magnetic fields
Typically, little M-dwarf stars-the most common type of star in the galaxy-are cold, quiet, and dim. Now a team of astronomers led by Edo Berger, a Carnegie-Princeton postdoctoral fellow, found one M-dwarf that doesn't conform. view more (2007-12-06)
Electronic monitoring and mapping enables malaria management
A Geographic Information System (GIS)-driven digital map of past and predicted malaria outbreak hotspots has been used in India as part of a national control program. Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access International Journal of Health Geographics describe the creation of the GIS and its implementation in the malaria-stricken Madhya... view more...

European hot spots and fires identified from space
Hot spots across Southeastern Europe from 21 to 26 August have been detected with instruments aboard ESA satellites, which have been continuously surveying fires burning across the Earth's surface for a decade. view more (2007-08-28)
Hot peppers really do bring the heat
Chili peppers can do more than just make you feel hot, reports a study in the August 1 Journal of Biological Chemistry; the active chemical in peppers can directly induce thermogenesis, the process by which cells convert energy into heat. view more (2008-08-07)
Metal Fibers Baked To Make Filters
In automotive catalytic converters and industrial exhaust gas filters, porous materials play a crucial role: they filter and break down hot waste gases. It is now possible to process virtually all metal alloys into fibers which can be used to make open-pored sintered materials. The requirements to be met by a coffee filter are simple: it must... view more... (2004-07-08)
