Research Cruise To Understand Major Changes In Atlantic
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are embarking on a research cruise to help them understand recent major changes in the temperature of the Atlantic.   view more (2005-05-10)

Changing jet streams may alter paths of storms and hurricanes
The Earth's jet streams, the high-altitude bands of fast winds that strongly influence the paths of storms and other weather systems, are shifting-possibly in response to global warming.   view more (2008-04-17)

EFDA-JET Press Day 10th July at Culham Science Centre, Oxfordshire
As announced recently, a press day will be held on Tuesday 10th July 2001 at EFDA-JET, the flagship experiment of the European nuclear fusion programme, to celebrate the first year of experimental campaigns on JET under the European Fusion Development Agreement. The JET facility is situated at the... view more (2001-06-27)

Coal-based jet fuel poised for next step
A jet fuel comparable to Jet A or military JP 8, but derived from at least 50 percent bituminous coal, has successfully powered a helicopter jet engine, according to a Penn State fuel scientist.   view more (2006-03-28)

Europe collaborates on JET Enhancements
Teams of scientists and engineers from across Europe have been working to equip the world`s largest fusion experiment JET with enhanced power and diagnostic capabilities for use in its 2002 experimental programme starting in March. A first set of enhancement projects launched in the last 2 years... view more (2001-12-18)

No evidence that melatonin is effective in treating jet lag
There is no evidence that melatonin is effective in treating secondary sleep disorders or preventing jet lag, finds a study published online by the BMJ today.   view more (2006-02-10)

Use public funds to test jet lag drug, say researchers
The hormone melatonin has long been used to prevent and treat jet lag, but in many countries it cannot be sold because it is not licensed. Researchers in this week's BMJ argue that if use of the drug is in the public interest, then public funds should be used to get it adequately tested to be... view more (2003-02-05)

Popular insecticide detected in suburban stream beds
For the first time, researchers have detected high concentrations of a popular insecticide in suburban stream sediments, raising concerns about its effects on aquatic life.   view more (2005-10-27)

Study uses stream fish as indicators of water quality
For many years, regulatory agencies have used chemical standards to assess water quality.   view more (2005-11-01)

The tropics may be expanding
Atmospheric temperature measurements by U.S. weather satellites indicate Earth's hot, tropical zone has expanded farther from the equator since 1979, says a study by scientists from the University of Utah and University of Washington.   view more (2006-05-26)

Neutron stars join the black hole jet set
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed an X-ray jet blasting away from a neutron star in a binary system.   view more (2007-06-28)

Renaturation of waterbodies does not have to be expensive
The water landscape in many countries has many deficiencies. The ecological consequences of this are poor water quality as well as a deterioration and a shift of the naturally occurring species spectrum. The Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Germany, has examined the... view more (2002-08-20)

Faster atmospheric warming in subtropics pushes jet streams toward poles
The atmosphere is warming faster in subtropical areas, around 30 degrees north and south latitude, than it is elsewhere, University of Washington-led research shows.   view more (2006-05-26)

Fabric design approaches the jet age.
New research into jet printing on textiles could lead to a faster, cheaper alternative to conventional ways of dyeing fabrics. Jet printing could also deliver valuable design benefits, such as a wider choice of colours and avoidance of the need to repeat patterns in a design. The research is being... view more (2003-08-13)

Scientists unveil mysteries of plasma jets on the Sun
Scientists at the University of Sheffield and Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab have solved a 127-year-old problem about the origin of supersonic plasma jets (spicules) which continuously shoot up from the Sun. Their findings are published in today's edition of Nature. Spicules, are jets... view more (2004-07-29)

Fine print: New technique allows fast printing of microscopic electronics
A new technique for printing extraordinarily thin lines quickly over wide areas could lead to larger, less expensive and more versatile electronic displays as well new medical devices, sensors and other technologies.   view more (2008-01-25)

From paper planes to jet engines
Throwing paper planes in class can be educational! Dr Julia King, Chief Executive of the Institute of Physics, used paper planes to explain the physics of flight to teachers at the Association for Science Education (ASE) meeting in Reading today (Friday 9 January 2004). She tackled the tricky... view more (2004-01-09)

Study shows surveillance could cut number of blood stream infections
A study from Imperial College London and Hammersmith Hospitals NHS Trust shows how a surveillance programme designed to monitor blood stream infections in dialysis units could cut the number of infections among patients.   view more (2006-06-20)

Ice Scalpel For Explosives
How can a tin be opened if it contains not tinned goods but explosives? Or a shell or something no less dangerous, for instance, a retired nuclear reactor?   view more (2005-04-29)

ESA's Cluster solved an auroral puzzle
ESA's four Cluster spacecraft have made a remarkable set of observations that has led to a breakthrough in understanding the origin of a peculiar and puzzling type of aurora. These aurorae - seen as bright spots in Earth's atmosphere and called 'dayside proton auroral spots' - occur when fractures... view more (2003-05-20)

New research offers prioritization plan for reducing nutrient pollution in feeder streams
To help resource managers improve the health of coastal waters degraded by nutrient pollution, a group of scientists has developed a framework for prioritizing stream restoration efforts aimed at reducing the amount of nitrogen flowing downstream.   view more (2008-02-12)

Physicists describe strange new fluid-like state of matter
University of Chicago physicists have created a novel state of matter using nothing more than a container of loosely packed sand and a falling marble. They have found that the impacting marble produces a jet of sand grains that briefly behaves like a special type of dense fluid.   view more (2005-12-06)

UMCES-led research team quantifies nutrient pollution reductions from urban stream restoration
A team of researchers led by University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science researcher Dr. Sujay Kaushal has been among the first able to quantify the amount of excess nitrogen removed from an urban stream during environmental restoration projects.   view more (2008-05-01)

'Air shower' set to cut water use by 30 per cent
As Australians become increasingly alert to the importance of using water wisely in the home, CSIRO researchers have found a way to use a third less water when you shower - by adding air.   view more (2006-11-10)

Space X-ray telescope arrives for tests at RAL
An X-ray telescope weighing half a tonne, due for launch on a Russian spacecraft in 1998, arrived at CLRC'­s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory today for thermal tests. With conditions in space so different from those on Earth (space is an icy-cold vacuum), it is vital to test any instrument before... view more (1996-12-10)
