Fire and water reveal new archaeological dating method
Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed a new way of dating archaeological objects - using fire and water to unlock their 'internal clocks'. view more (2009-05-20)
Knobbly kneed ID
Forget LED thumb-pad identification devices, complex retinal laser scanning, or even computerized iris recognition, the way forward for biometric validation is a quick X-ray snapshot of a person's knees, according to a report published in the International Journal of Biometrics. view more (2009-03-26)
Blood's clotting cells harbor 'ticking time bombs,' finding may help extend blood supply
Fragments of cells in the blood known as platelets—which form blood clots and assist in wound healing—have internal "clocks" that act like ticking time bombs, predetermining their death from the moment they are born, according to a new study in the March 23 issue of the journal Cell, published by Cell Press. view more (2007-03-23)
Scientist refines cosmic clock to determine age of Milky Way
The University of Chicago's Nicolas Dauphas has developed a new way to calculate the age of the Milky Way that is free of the unvalidated assumptions that have plagued previous methods. view more (2005-06-30)
Inner Workings of Molecular Thermostat Point to Pathways to Fight Diabetes, Obesity, According to Penn Study
Best known as the oxygen-carrying component of hemoglobin, the protein that makes blood red, heme also plays a role in chemical detoxification and energy metabolism within the cell. Heme levels are tightly maintained, and with good reason: Too little heme prevents cell growth and division; excessive amounts of heme are toxic. view more (2009-09-14)
Diagnostic ultrasound could provide automated method of fingerprint identification
Diagnostic 3D ultrasound of fingers could be used for biometric identification based on matching paired images using internal fingerprint structures that would be difficult to fake, offering the possibility of a unique automated fingerprint identification system. view more (2007-05-07)
Computer model improves ultrasound image
Doctors use diagnostic sonography or ultrasound to visualise organs and other internal structures of the human body. view more (2008-11-05)
Bacteria pack their own demise
Numerous pathogens contain an 'internal time bomb', a deadly mechanism that can be used against them. After years of work, VIB researchers at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) were able to determine the structure and operating mechanism of the proteins involved. view more (2009-07-31)
Bioengineers at University of Pennsylvania devise nanoscale system to measure cellular forces
University of Pennsylvania researchers have designed a nanoscale system to observe and measure how individual cells react to external forces. view more (2007-08-28)
Study Shows Residents May Benefit Most From Time in the Clinic
A new approach to internal medicine residency training could improve patient care and physician-patient relationships, according to a University of Cincinnati study. view more (2008-07-25)
Heat halts pain inside the body
The old wives' tale that heat relieves abdominal pain, such as colic or menstrual pain, has been scientifically proven by a UCL (University College London) scientist. view more (2006-07-06)
Internal choices are weaker than those dictated by the outside world
The underlying sense of being in control of our own actions is challenged by new research from UCL (University College London) which demonstrates that the choices we make internally are weak and easily overridden compared to when we are told which choice to make. view more (2009-02-11)
Scientists blow their own trumpet
Brass instrument makers could soon be using the latest technology to refine the manufacturing of trumpets and cornets. An improved way of taking internal measurements of musical instruments, published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology, has been developed by scientists at the University of Edinburgh, the... view more...

Measurements may help show if constants are changing
Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery-whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe. view more (2006-05-01)
Bright lights, not-so-big pupils
A team of Johns Hopkins neuroscientists has worked out how some newly discovered light sensors in the eye detect light and communicate with the brain. The report appears online this week in Nature. view more (2009-01-05)
Early to bed, early to rise
In an upcoming G&D paper, a team of German scientists presents a genetic basis for understanding human morning lark behavior. Dr. Achim Kramer (Charité Universitaetsmedizin Berlin) and colleagues have uncovered a genetic cause for the human familial advanced sleep phase syndrome (FASPS), which causes people to both go to sleep and wake up... view more...

Tobacco industry lied about its ability to produce fire-safe cigarettes
The tobacco industry lied about its ability to produce fire safe cigarettes, and for 25 years thwarted legislation to impose mandatory safety standards for cigarettes, reveals research in Tobacco Control. The findings are based on a trawl of around 200 industry documents, which have only become publicly available since 1998. Cigarettes account for... view more... (2002-11-12)
Rotating shift workers have lower levels of serotonin
People who work rotating shifts have significantly lower levels of serotonin, a hormone and neurotransmitter in the central nervous system believed to play an important role in the regulation of sleep. view more (2007-08-01)
