Smaller microchips that consume less energy
To develop ever-smaller chips that consume less. These are the indispensable requirements of the current market for portable applications such as mobile telephone technology and biomedical systems, obtaining correct and trouble-free operation of the devices over the maximum possible duration of... view more (2004-09-10)

Potential new target for cancer found
By bypassing a well-known gene implicated in almost one-third of all cancers and instead focusing on the protein activated by the gene, Duke University Medical Center researchers believe they may have found a new target for anti-cancer drugs.   view more (2007-07-16)

"Facts needed, not just opinions": Risk assessment research initiated to determine effects of genetically modified plants on soil ecosystems
Do genetically modified plants present a risk to the environment? "Most of the arguments used both in support and against the use of genetically modified crops to date have not been based upon facts, but rather emotion," claims George Kowalchuk of the Netherlands Institute of Ecology... view more (2001-06-11)

Brown researchers work toward ending cartilage loss
Scientists have long wrestled with how to aid those who suffer cartilage damage and loss. One popular way is to inject an artificial gel that can imitate cartilage's natural ability to act as the body's shock absorber. But that solution is temporary, requiring follow-up injections.   view more (2008-06-04)

Brain stress system presents possible treatment
A brain circuit that underlies feelings of stress and anxiety shows promise as a new therapeutic target for alcoholism, according to new studies by researchers at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).   view more (2008-02-27)

Glacial pace of erosion was not so slow, new technique shows
Glaciers, rivers and shifting tectonic plates have shaped mountains over millions of years, but earth scientists have struggled to understand the relative roles of these forces and the rates at which they work.   view more (2005-12-12)

Dissecting the machinery of nicotine's reward
Understanding what makes people crave the high of nicotine is a key to developing treatment for this highly addictive drug. And that understanding involves tracing the neural machinery by which nicotine switches on the brain's reward machinery.   view more (2006-06-15)

Moths with a nose for learning
Much like Pavlov conditioned his dog to salivate in anticipation of food when a bell rang, insects can be trained to perform certain behaviors when enticed with different smells.   view more (2008-10-03)

Gliders For Mobil Communication
The Moscow scientists have suggested that the tele- and radiobroadcast and vehicular communication transponders should be installed on the gliders instead of the towers. If such gliders can be raised up on the firm kevlar ropes to the height of 10-15 kilometres, then only three transponders will be... view more (2002-06-21)

Novel connection found between biological clock and cancer
Dartmouth Medical School geneticists have discovered that DNA damage resets the cellular circadian clock, suggesting links among circadian timing, the cycle of cell division, and the propensity for cancer.   view more (2006-06-30)

Making memories that last a lifetime
Neurobiologists have discovered a mechanism by which the constantly changing brain retains memories—from that dog bite to that first kiss. They have found that the brain co-opts the same machinery by which cells stably alter their genes to specialize during embryonic development.   view more (2007-03-15)

Statin therapy associated with regression of coronary atherosclerosis with key lipid level changes
An analysis of data from four clinical trials suggests that statin therapy is associated with regression of coronary atherosclerosis when low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C or "bad" cholesterol) is substantially reduced and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C or... view more (2007-02-07)

Spiritual beliefs, practices may help smokers quit
Unlike many traditional alcohol and drug dependence treatment programs, mainstream smoking cessation programs generally exclude spiritual practice and beliefs from the treatment process.   view more (2007-05-08)

Climate Computer Modeling Heats Up
New "petascale" computer models depicting detailed climate dynamics, and building the foundation for the next generation of complex climate models, are in the offing.   view more (2008-09-09)

Scent of fear impacts cognitive performance
The chemical warning signals produced by fear improve cognitive performance, according to a study at Rice University in Houston.   view more (2006-04-03)

Intelligent molecules in shoes for skateboarders
d3o lab was granted a government SMART award in 2003 and 2004 for the development of a high technology application. Since then they have been developing the technology in the laboratory and working with a diverse range of companies from medical to extreme sports to realise the material's potential.   view more (2005-02-04)

Specific brain protein required for nerve cell connections to form and function
Neurons, or nerve cells, communicate with each other through contact points called synapses. When these connections are damaged, communication breaks down, causing the messages that would normally help our feet push our bike pedals or our mind locate our car keys to fall short.   view more (2007-09-06)

Management, planning and control of municipal police patrol routes
The GPSApp project was conceived as an integral solution for the management, planning and control of the municipal police patrol routes for the Amorebieta-Etxano Town Council in Bizkaia in the Basque Country. There is currently no organised control of local beats in the municipal borough, a... view more (2003-07-07)

Astronomers shed surprising light on our galaxy's black hole
In the most comprehensive study of Sagittarius A (Sgr A), the enigmatic supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, astronomers - using nine ground and space-based telescopes including the Hubble Space Telescope and the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory - have... view more (2006-01-11)

Pregnancy situations have impact on brain development in pre-term infants
Brain development in infants who are born very prematurely is still incomplete. Factors that cause premature birth may have an impact on the development of the premature infant's brain both during pregnancy and later on after birth.   view more (2008-08-28)

Geriatric health conditions have major effect on half of all seniors
A broad study of adults ages 65 and older has found that half of them have one or more conditions that can affect their ability to participate in activities of daily living, such as bathing and dressing on their own.   view more (2007-08-08)

No Need To Fly To The Moon For Lunar Soil
It is not necessary to fly to the Moon to get lunar soil even if the sample is required from the other side of this planet. A meteorite originating from the other side of the Moon has recently got into the hands of scientists. The meteorite investigation required precision instruments and grants... view more (2005-05-13)
