Saharan dust storms sustain life in Atlantic Ocean
Research at the University of Liverpool has found how Saharan dust storms help sustain life over extensive regions of the North Atlantic Ocean. view more (2008-07-21)
Study identifies trends of vitamin B6 status in US population sample
In an epidemiological study, Tufts University researchers identified trends of vitamin B6 status in a sample of the United States population based on measures of plasma pyridoxal 5'- phosphate (PLP) levels in the bloodstream. Plasma PLP is the indicator used by the federal government to set the current Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) of... view more... (2008-05-21)
Implant bacteria, beware: Researchers create nano-sized assassins
Staphylococcus epidermidis is quite an opportunist. Commonly found on human skin, the bacteria pose little danger. But S. epidermidis is a leading cause of infections in hospitals. view more (2009-06-26)
New properties of the very deep Earth discovered
To truly understand some of the movement we see at the Earth's surface, scientists have to probe deep into the interior. view more (2006-04-28)
Iron controls patterns of nitrogen fixation in the Atlantic
Scientists including researchers from the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton and the University of Essex have discovered that interactions between iron supply, transported through the atmosphere from deserts, and large-scale oceanic circulation control the availability of a crucial nutrient, nitrogen, in the Atlantic. view more (2009-11-03)
Neutron stars warp space-time, U-M astronomers observe
Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time occurs around neutron stars, University of Michigan astronomers and others have observed. view more (2007-08-29)
Alcohol-induced flushing is a risk factor for esophageal cancer from alcohol consumption
There is growing evidence, say researchers in this week's PLoS Medicine, that people who experience facial flushing after drinking alcohol are at much higher risk of esophageal cancer from alcohol consumption than those who do not. view more (2009-03-23)
Estrogen Linked to Lowered Immunity in Fish
Exposure to estrogen reduces production of immune-related proteins in fish. This suggests that certain compounds, known as endocrine disruptors, may make fish more susceptible to disease. view more (2009-06-04)
Study: Quantum fluctuations are key in superconductors
New experiments on a recently discovered class of iron-based superconductors suggest that the ability of their electrons to conduct electricity without resistance is directly connected with the magnetic properties of those electrons. view more (2010-01-11)
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent stomach cancer
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent digestive tract cancers, suggests animal research reported in Gut. view more (2001-12-17)
Social parasites of the smaller kind
Cooperation is widespread in the natural world but so too are cheats - mutants that do not contribute to the collective good but simply reap the benefits of others' cooperative efforts. view more (2007-08-27)
Vitamin D supplements may offer cheap and effective immune system boost against TB
Scientists have shown that a single 2.5mg dose of vitamin D may be enough to boost the immune system to fight against tuberculosis (TB) and similar bacteria for at least 6 weeks. view more (2007-05-16)
New sunscreen ingredient to heal sunburn and help prevent skin cancer
People who suffer from sunburn could soon benefit from a new sunscreen ingredient that actively repairs sunburnt skin and helps prevent the onset of skin cancer. view more (2006-09-08)
Physicists offer new theory for iron compounds
An international team of physicists from the United States and China this week offered a new theory to both explain and predict the complex quantum behavior of a new class of high-temperature superconductors. view more (2009-03-13)
Team develops new weapon to fight disease-causing bacteria, malaria
Researchers report that they have discovered - and now know how to exploit - an unusual chemical reaction mechanism that allows malaria parasites and many disease-causing bacteria to survive. view more (2010-02-16)
Heart failure worsens with anemia, increases risk of death
Low hemoglobin levels are a predictor of increased risk of death and complications among heart failure patients, according to a report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. view more (2005-08-17)
New ways to prevent stroke and reduce excess iron in sickle cell anemia
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital will lead a national Phase III clinical trial to investigate whether a new combination treatment can prevent a secondary stroke in children with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and eliminate the need for nightly injections with a drug that reduces iron overload in these patients. view more (2005-09-01)
New study closes in on geologic history of Earth's deep interior
By using a super-computer to virtually squeeze and heat iron-bearing minerals under conditions that would have existed when the Earth crystallized from an ocean of magma to its solid form 4.5 billion years ago, two UC Davis geochemists have produced the first picture of how different isotopes of iron were initially distributed in the solid Earth. view more (2009-06-16)
A magnetometer in the upper beak of birds?
Iron containing short nerve branches in the upper beak of birds may serve as a magnetometer to measure the vector of the Earth magnetic field (intensity and inclination) and not only as a magnetic compass, which shows the direction of the magnetic field lines. view more (2010-02-24)
Iron-arsenic superconductors in class of their own
Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory have experimentally demonstrated that the superconductivity mechanism in the recently-discovered iron-arsenide superconductors is unique compared to all other known classes of superconductors. view more (2009-04-30)
