ASU researcher may have discovered key to life before its origin on Earth
An important discovery has been made with respect to the mystery of "handedness" in biomolecules. Researchers led by Sandra Pizzarello, a research professor at Arizona State University, found that some of the possible abiotic precursors to the origin of life on Earth have been shown to carry "handedness" in a larger number than... view more...

Biochip for detection of inflammatory bowel disease
At the III International Symposium on Advanced Therapy for Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease, held in Madrid, the biotechnological company, Progenika, presented a DNA-chip the purpose of which is the optimisation of the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and Ulcerous Colitis). view more (2005-01-26)
Satellites capture first-ever gravity map of tides under Antarctic ice
Ohio State University scientists have used minute fluctuations in gravity to produce the best map yet of ocean tides that flow beneath two large Antarctic ice shelves. view more (2005-12-05)
JQI researchers create entangled photons from quantum dots
To exploit the quantum world to the fullest, a key commodity is entanglement-the spooky, distance-defying link that can form between objects such as atoms even when they are completely shielded from one another. view more (2009-11-18)
New direction needed for obesity research, Deakin health expert claims
Most of the current obesity research is not proving helpful in finding solutions to the growing international epidemic, according to a Deakin University public health expert. view more (2009-05-21)
Violent galaxy seen in 3-D
Astronomers at the Gemini telescope in Hawaii have obtained a complete, multi-dimensional picture, of the dynamic flow of gas and stars at the core of an active galaxy [NGC 1068] located 70 million light years away. The image was achieved in a single snapshot and is the first time such a picture has been obtained by one of the new generation of... view more... (2002-03-21)
Could vitamin D, a key milk nutrient, affect how you age?
There is a new reason for the 76 million baby boomers to grab a glass of milk. Vitamin D, a key nutrient in milk, could have aging benefits linked to reduced inflammation, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. view more (2007-11-09)
Lacewing species new to Britain unexpectedly detected in field trials of aphid sex pheromone
Scientists from IACR-Rothamsted1 and Imperial College were surprised to find large numbers of green lacewings in traps baited with a plant-derived compound aimed at improving natural biocontrol of aphid pests2. Close inspection by Stephen Brooks at the Natural History Museum identified these lacewings as Peyerimhoffina gracilis, a species new to... view more... (2001-12-17)
Greenland's ice loss accelerating rapidly, gravity-measuring satellites reveal
A new analysis of data from twin satellites has revealed that the melting of Greenland's ice sheet has increased dramatically in the past few years, with much of the loss occurring primarily along one shoreline potentially affecting weather in Western Europe. view more (2006-08-11)
Statistical tool could explain gene study variations
While scientists are using the human genome to associate certain genes with disease, Dr. Hongyan Xu wants to ensure they are accounting for natural variations in those genes. view more (2008-05-29)
New mutation that causes atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome identified
Researchers from the University of Newcastle, UK, have identified a novel genetic change that causes one form of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) a rare, chronic disease that causes kidney failure and which can run in families. view more (2006-10-31)
Multiple pregnancies: Vienna meeting reveals new research
The continuing high rate of multiple pregnancies in assisted reproduction is a major medical, psychosocial and economic problem. But it could be solved overnight if only doctors weren't too hesitant to act, a leading Swedish specialist in reproductive medicine told a news briefing today (Monday 1 July) at the annual meeting of the European Society... view more...

Venus comes to life at wavelengths invisible to human eyes
A pale yellow-green dot to the human eye, Earth's twin planet comes to life in the ultraviolet and the infrared. New images taken by instruments on board ESA's Venus Express provide insight into the turbulent atmosphere of our neighbouring planet. view more (2008-12-04)
Concern Over Misclassification And Inappropriate Treatment Of People With Eating Disorders (p 407)
Authors of a seminar in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide an insight into our knowledge and treatment of eating disorders. They note how the current way of classifying eating disorders neglects the majority of people with eating disorders with the result that these cases have barely been studied and almost nothing is known about their... view more...

Gene mismatch influences success of bone marrow transplants
A commonly inherited gene deletion can increase the likelihood of immune complications following bone marrow transplantation, an international team of researchers reports in the November 22 advance online issue of Nature Genetics. view more (2009-11-23)
Trusting your instincts leads you to the right answer
A UCL (University College London) study has found that you are more likely to perform well if you do not think too hard and instead trust your instincts. view more (2007-01-09)
Breastfeeding boost IQ in infants with 'helpful' genetic variant
Breastfeeding boosts infants' IQs, but only if the babies have a genetic variant that enhances their metabolism of breast milk, a Yale researcher and collaborators report today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-11-06)
Materials World: February 2000 Issue
Teddy bears are being "tortured" in order to meet the stringent demands of European Commission (EC) directives. Teddy bear body parts, such as glass eyes and plastic noses, are being pulled and twisted by mechanical multi-jawed grips to see how well they will cope in the rigorous world of the nursery playroom. view more (2000-02-02)
