Some like it hot: Worms at deep-sea vents favor a fiery 45-55°C
Scientists have found that worms dwelling at deep-sea hydrothermal vents opt for temperatures of 45-55 degrees Celsius (113-131 degrees Fahrenheit) when given a choice of conditions, giving them the highest thermal preference of any animal studied to date. view more (2006-04-14)
Off the shelf maps help mitigate volcanic hazards
When volcanoes erupt, pinpointing the regions at high risk for lethal hazards and deciding whether or not to evacuate a resistant population comprise the most difficult problems faced by hazards managers. Now a team of volcanologists has a program that maps potential problem areas quickly, taking much of the guesswork out of decision making and... view more... (2009-01-22)
Research Reveals Inner Workings of Immune System "Thermostat"
When bacteria, viruses or parasites attack, immune system cells unleash the soldiers. These "hot" protein compounds kill invaders - but also trigger inflammation, which, if unchecked, can destroy tissue, induce shock and kill the host. view more (2006-08-21)
A New Method For Assessing Neurological Development Of Fetuses? (p 779)
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET outlines how light-emitting technology could help in the future assessment of fetal neurological development. There have been only a few studies of visual-evoked response in human fetuses, and all have focused on general changes such as heart rate, body movements, and eye movements. Curtis... view more...

Hormone drug type makes survival difference in advanced breast cancer
Aromatase inhibitors, a type of hormone therapy used to treat advanced breast cancer in postmenopausal women, result in a small but significant increase in overall survival when compared to other hormone treatments, according to a new systematic review of studies. view more (2007-01-31)
Dangerous printer particles identified
The identity and origin of tiny, potentially hazardous particles emitted from common laser printers have been revealed by a new study at Queensland University of Technology. view more (2009-02-11)
Cause and Affect: Emotions can be unconsciously and subliminally evoked
Most people agree that emotions can be caused by a specific event and that the person experiencing it is aware of the cause, such as a child's excitement at the sound of an ice cream truck. But recent research suggests emotions also can be unconsciously evoked and manipulated. view more (2008-04-29)
X-ray Laser Cooperation within the scope of the TESLA-Project, DESY and SLAC signed agreement in Washington
With the signature of a Memorandum of Understanding on November 1, in Washington, both major accelerator centers-DESY (the German Electron Synchrotron) in Hamburg, Germany, and SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) in California, USA-set the seal on their intention to start a close collaboration in X-ray laser research and to make joint... view more...

UCF professor finds that hottest measured extrasolar planet is 3700 degrees
"HD 149026b is simply the most exotic, bizarre planet," Harrington said. "It's pretty small, really dense, and now we find that it's extremely hot." view more (2007-05-10)
New research shows that the seasons may be involved in onset of menopause
Research by Hungarian fertility experts published today (Thursday 10 June) in Europe's leading reproductive medicine journal Human Reproduction[1], has revealed that the onset of the menopause[2] may not be dictated only by the fact that a woman's lifetime supply of eggs are running low, but also by changes in the seasons. Analysis of reliable... view more... (2004-06-08)
Tiny Flares Responsible for Outsized Heat of Sun's Atmosphere
"Why is the sun's corona so darned hot?" asks James Klimchuk, an astrophysicist at the Goddard Space Flight Center's Solar Physics Laboratory in Greenbelt, Md. view more (2009-08-17)
'Hot' oxygen atoms on titanium dioxide motivated by more than just temperature
Like two ballroom dancers waltzing together, the two atoms of an oxygen molecule severed by a metal catalyst usually behave identically. But new research reveals that on a particular catalyst, split oxygen atoms act like a couple dancing the tango: one oxygen atom plants itself while the other shimmies away, probably with energy partially stolen... view more...

Starburst Galaxy Showers The Universe
When a galaxy known as M82 had a near-miss with its neighbour, it set off an explosive burst of star formation that sent plumes of hot gas tens of thousands of light years into space. Now a team of UK and American astronomers has discovered that these gas clouds are like the jets from a high pressure shower head. M82 - which astronomers call a... view more... (2004-05-21)
Wolves, moose and biodiversity: An unexpected connection
Moose eat plants; wolves kill moose. What difference does this classic predator-prey interaction make to biodiversity? view more (2009-11-02)
Ceramic material revs up microwaving
Quicker microwave meals that use less energy may soon be possible with new ceramic microwave dishes and, according to the material scientists responsible, this same material could help with organic waste remediation. view more (2008-08-29)
Clash of clusters provides new dark matter clue
A powerful collision between galaxy clusters has been captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This clash of clusters provides striking evidence for dark matter and insight into its properties. view more (2008-08-28)
Hybrid bluegrasses analyzed for use in transition zone
The transition zone can be one of the most challenging places to maintain high-quality turfgrass; changeable growing conditions in these regions often prove too hot for some grasses and too cold for others. Finding turfgrass that thrives in these challenging environments can be perplexing for turf management professionals and homeowners alike. view more (2009-11-05)
No Core In Volcanoes
A hot debate in the Earth Sciences is finally resolved in this week's issue of Nature. Researchers from the Department of Earth Sciences at Bristol University show that large volcanoes do not contain material from the Earth's core. This overturns previous theories that conflicted with models of how the Earth's magnetic field is sustained. The... view more... (2004-01-12)
Two cosmic bursts upset tidy association between long gamma-ray bursts and supernovae
Two brilliant flashes of light from nearby galaxies are puzzling astronomers and could indicate that gamma-ray bursts, which signal the birth of a black hole, are more diverse than once thought. view more (2006-12-21)
