Taking the temperature of the no-fly zone
Flies, unlike humans, can't manipulate the temperature of their surroundings so they need to pick the best spot for flourishing. New Brandeis University research in this week's Nature reveals that they have internal thermosensors to help them. view more (2008-06-12)
Women less likely than men to change habits that increase heart-disease risk
Smoking, eating fattening foods and not getting enough exercise are all lifestyle habits that can lead to poor health and cardiovascular disease - more so if you have a family history. view more (2007-09-11)
Study finds link between hot flashes and lower bone density in women
esearchers and colleagues analyzed data for 2,213 women between the ages of 42 and 52 who participated in the bone sub-study of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation to determine whether women with vasomotor symptoms (VMS) - which include hot flashes and night sweats - had lower bone mineral density. view more (2009-05-06)
Towards the mechanism of cell respiration
Researchers at the Institute of Biotechnology of the University of Helsinki have for the first time identified an internal electron transfer reaction that initiates the proton pump mechanism of the respiratory enzyme. view more (2006-04-06)
Unusually stable glasses may benefit drugs, coatings
Just spray and chill. That sums up a new approach to making remarkably stable glassy materials from organic (carbon-containing) molecules that could lead to novel coatings and to improvements in drug delivery. view more (2006-12-11)
Brain's timing linked with timescales of the natural visual world
Researchers have long attempted to unravel the cryptic code used by the neurons of the brain to represent our visual world. By studying the way the brain rapidly and precisely encodes natural visual events that occur on a slower timescale, a team of Harvard bioengineers and brain scientists from the State University of New York have moved one step... view more...

Geisinger study: Use of digital health records improve health of the elderly
Use of medications that are linked to increased risk of falls in the elderly can be reduced through careful review of patient files in the Electronic Health Record, new Geisinger research shows. view more (2008-04-08)
Research Europe 21 February issue: stories on the EU patent, research infrastructure, FP6 seminars, ITER mandate, and Science Foundation Ireland
Spain unlikely to pass EU patent It now seems unlikely that Spain will try to broker a deal on the Community patent during its six-month presidency of the EU. Internal arguments and the emergence of longer-term political goals are now expected to delay approval until the second half of 2002 or beyond. Despite an initial flurry of activity by... view more... (2002-02-21)
The bizarre lives of bone-eating worms
The females of the recently discovered Osedax marine worms feast on submerged bones via a complex relationship with symbiotic bacteria, and they are turning out to be far more diverse and widespread than scientists expected. view more (2009-11-10)
New 167-processor Chip Is Super-fast, Ultra Energy-efficient
A new, extremely energy-efficient processor chip that provides breakthrough speeds for a variety of computing tasks has been designed by a group at UC Davis. The chip, dubbed AsAP, is ultra-small, fully reprogrammable and highly configurable, so it can be widely adapted to a number of applications. view more (2009-04-22)
Male impotence drugs may deserve a second look in women
New studies indicate the three drugs used to treat male impotence also appear to work in females, albeit a little differently, and should give the scientific community pause to take a second look at their potential in the 40 percent of women who report sexual dysfunction, researchers say. view more (2009-04-20)
Equine Medical Center records successful year for neonatal foals
Premature delivery is as big a problem with baby horses as it is with baby humans. Fortunately, the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine's Marion duPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Leesburg, Virginia specializes in providing neonatal intensive care for the fragile baby horses that have entered the world a bit too soon. view more (2006-07-17)
The next generation of computers will be timeless
Time is running out for the clocks that make our computers tick. Scientists have developed a new generation of hardware and software based on the simpler designs of the 1950s. Asynchronous, or clock-free systems, promise extra speed, safety, security and miniaturisation. The new designs work well in the laboratory and are only awaiting the... view more... (2002-04-05)
Scientist brings 50 million year old spider 'back to life'
A 50-million-year-old fossilised spider has been brought back to life in stunning 3D by a scientist at The University of Manchester. view more (2007-10-30)
A new key to detecting deadly aortic aneurysms
Yale scientists have discovered a way to use a simple blood test that may accurately detect thoracic aneurysm disease (TAA), which gives little warning and is almost always fatal if untreated. view more (2007-10-25)
Light-sensing cells in retina develop before vision
Investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that cells making up a non-visual system in the eye are in place and functioning long before the rods and cones that process light into vision. view more (2005-12-22)
Psychiatric Trainees Have No More Psychological Problems Than Other Medical Trainees.
It has long been believed that psychiatrists should have more psychological problems than other doctors for making their choice. This does not appear to be true according to a study published in the March issue of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics by psychiatrists in Serbia-Montenegro and Greece. view more (2005-03-18)
Why the Amazon rainforest is so rich in species
Tropical areas of south and central America such as the Amazon rainforest are home to some 7500 species of butterfly compared with only around 65 species in Britain. view more (2005-12-06)
Assessing health risks of exposure to radiation
More accurate estimates of doses and health risks associated with occupational exposure to radiation can now be made thanks to the work of the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP). Speaking at the Society for Radiological Protection`s Internal Dosimetry conference at the British Library today (23 October 2002), John Stather,... view more... (2002-10-18)
New on-off 'switch' triggers and reverses paralysis in animals with a beam of light
In an advance with overtones of Star Trek phasers and other sci-fi ray guns, scientists in Canada are reporting development of an internal on-off "switch" that paralyzes animals when exposed to a beam of ultraviolet light. view more (2009-11-19)
