Avian Flu Research Sheds Light on Swine Flu Outbreak
A recent study by University of Maryland researchers examines the mechanisms underlying transmission of combined avian-human viruses and illustrates how virus outbreaks like that of the current swine flu come about. view more (2009-04-30)
Indigenous water frogs under threat
Indigenous water frogs can be crowded out by immigrant or imported species. This is the finding of a Franco-German study. The scientists investigated water frog populations in France and Northern Spain and noticed that the marsh frog (Rana ridibunda), which normally occurs only in Eastern Europe, has the potential to crowd out indigenous species... view more...

X-Effect: Female Chromosome Confirmed a Prime Driver of Speciation
Researchers at the University of Rochester believe they have just confirmed a controversial theory of evolution. The X chromosome is a strikingly powerful force in the origin of new species. view more (2007-10-18)
Autosub6000 dives to depth of 3.5 miles
The United Kingdom's deepest diving Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), Autosub6000, has been put through its paces during an extremely successful engineering trials cruise on the RRS Discovery, 27 September to 17 October 2009. view more (2009-10-29)
Researcher discovers hybrid speciation in the Sierra Nevada
University of Nevada, Reno researcher Matthew Forister is among a group of scientists that have documented an unusual type of speciation in the Sierra Nevada, including a hybrid species of butterfly that can trace its lineage as far back as almost a half a million years ago. view more (2007-01-29)
Teens underestimate risk, overestimate vehicle, highway safety in motor vehicle accidents
Most teens' attitudes regarding trauma-related injuries, particularly those due to motor vehicle crashes, reflect an sense of invincibility and focus on fate rather than choice, according to new research published in the August issue of the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. view more (2008-08-15)
Industry asked to design Mars rover and payload
Is there life on other worlds or is planet Earth the only place in our Solar System where living organisms have evolved? ESA is inviting European and Canadian industry to participate in its exciting ExoMars mission in order to provide an answer to this age-old question. On 9 July, the Aurora Programme Office issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT)... view more... (2003-07-22)
Recycling Cars
The old breakers' yards, going for a long time, are soon to disappear. The future is now in recycling components from these vehicles and all as a consequence of a new Directive approved by the European Union. The new law came into being in the Spanish State in December 2002. From February of this year the Royal Decree for the Direction General of... view more... (2004-04-26)
High altitude broadband is the platform for the future
A three-year project led by the University of York, which aims to revolutionise broadband communications, reaches its climax later this year. view more (2006-07-18)

Nuclear fusion-fission hybrid could contribute to carbon-free energy future
Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have designed a new system that, when fully developed, would use fusion to eliminate most of the transuranic waste produced by nuclear power plants. view more (2009-01-28)
The business of natural selection
Many gamblers claim to have a "system", whether they're shooting craps, backing horses, or punting on the stock market. Now, researchers in Taiwan have devised an approach to spotting when a company is likely to fail based on the principles of natural selection. view more (2008-03-17)
Haul wood and save money
Empty commercial trucks on the road are a burden on traffic, the environment and the profits of transport companies. But many vehicles are not flexible enough to take on a different load for the return trip. A new patented trailer for long timber presents a viable alternative. Starting next year, the cost of transporting goods across Europe will... view more... (2002-03-05)
Intelligent system for tilting trains
The Intelligent System for Integrated Tilting (ISIT), developed by rolling stock manufacturers CAF (Basque Country), is a tilting system which activates at the required moment and manages to reduce the centrifugal effect suffered by passengers when a train negotiates bends. Or, in other words: view more (2004-10-07)
Researchers discover mechanism that prevents two species from reproducing
Cornell researchers have discovered a genetic mechanism in fruit flies that prevents two closely related species from reproducing, a finding that offers clues to how species evolve. view more (2009-10-27)
A Car's Middle Back Seat May Be Least Desirable, but It's the Safest
In a full car, some poor soul is relegated to the middle of the back seat, the least desirable, most uncomfortable, most "un-cool" spot in the vehicle. view more (2006-06-28)
NIST measures performance of auto crash warning systems
Engineers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed and tested a laser-based ranging system to assess the performance of automobile collision warning systems. view more (2007-11-28)
New Hybrid Nanostructures Detect Nanoscale Magnetism
A key challenge of nanotechnology research is investigating how different materials behave at lengths of merely one-billionth of a meter. When shrunk to such tiny sizes, many everyday materials exhibit interesting and potentially beneficial new properties. view more (2008-12-09)
