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 Culham Science Centre, Oxfordshire. The programme... 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)
Is the sky the limit for wind power?
In the future, will wind power tapped by high-flying kites light up New York? A new study by scientists at the Carnegie Institution and California State University identifies New York as a prime location for exploiting high-altitude winds, which globally contain enough energy to meet world demand 100 times over. view more (2009-06-16)
First Laboratory Experiment to Accurately Model Stellar Jets Explains Mysterious 'Knots'
Some of the most breathtaking objects in the cosmos are the jets of matter streaming out of stars, but astrophysicists have long been at a loss to explain how these jets achieve their varied shapes. Now, laboratory research detailed in the current issue of Astrophysical Review Letters shows how magnetic forces shape these stellar jets. view more (2009-02-10)
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 under the European Fusion Development Agreement... 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 licensed. Jet lag is caused by the disturbance of... view more... (2003-02-05)
Argonne scientists reveal interaction between supersonic fuel spray and its shock wave
Shock waves are a well tested phenomenon on a large scale, but scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and their collaborators from Wayne State University and Cornell University have made a breakthrough that reveals the interaction between shockwaves created by high-pressure supersonic fuel jets. view more (2009-03-13)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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 carried out at Leeds University, with funding from... view more... (2003-08-13)
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)
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 existing morphological water structure deficiencies... view more... (2002-08-20)
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 of gas or plasma that are propelled upwards from... 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)
New medication brings hope of jet lag cure
A team of researchers from Monash University, The Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston), Harvard Medical School and Vanda Pharmaceuticals has found a new drug with the potential to alleviate jet lag and sleep disorders caused by shift work. view more (2008-12-02)
