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 subject of explaining what causes 'lift' in a wing, and... 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)
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 appear in the Earth's magnetic field, allowing... view more... (2003-05-20)
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)
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)
Dissecting a stellar explosion
Integral has captured one of the brightest gamma-ray bursts ever seen. A meticulous analysis of the data has allowed astronomers to investigate the initial phases of this giant stellar explosion, which led to the ejection of matter at velocities close to the speed of light. view more (2009-04-06)
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)
New research provides insight into ice sheet behavior
A new study published this week takes scientists a step further in their quest to understand how Antarctica's vast glaciers will contribute to future sea-level rise. view more (2009-07-21)
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)
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 launch to make sure that it can work in a vacuum at... view more...

'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)
New metal alloys boost high-temperature heat treatment of jet engine components
Measurement scientists at the National Physical Laboratory have reduced the uncertainty of thermocouple temperature sensors at high temperatures to within a degree. view more (2007-07-25)
Research Fortnight 10 July issue: stories on arts and humanities infrastructure, third stream metrics, the NW science strategy, the RAE and PPARC.
Universities need £500m for arts and humanities Infrastructure for arts and humanities research needs around £500 million to address years of under-investment according to a report to be published today. It calls for the money to be provided by government, allocated by formula rather than competition, as part of an overall package for... view more... (2002-07-10)
Study Compares Sound from Exploding Volcanoes with Jet Engines
New research on infrasound from volcanic eruptions shows an unexpected connection with jet engines. view more (2009-04-09)
Physicists see similarities in stream of sand grains, exotic plasma at birth of universe
Streams of granular particles bouncing off a target in a simple tabletop experiment produce liquid-like behavior also witnessed in a massive research apparatus that simulates the birth of the universe. view more (2007-11-07)
Future climate change in North-Western Europe may come as a shock
North-Western Europe could be in for some sudden climatic surprises in the future, say scientists speaking at the launch of a new book on global environmental change*. North-Western Europe is kept warm by an ocean current known as the North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream which brings warm water from the tropics to the north.... view more...

Low-fat diet or vitamin E absorption? Walking the tightrope of heart disease prevention
Vitamin E supplements can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; a low-fat diet can help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease; but research at the University of Surrey has now shown that if a vitamin E supplement is taken with a low-fat meal, the absorption of the vitamin into the blood stream, and therefore its efficacy, is... view more...

Even a Mile of Forest Makes a Difference in Water Quality
Results from a small-scale experiment in western North Carolina illustrate the importance of National Forest lands in ensuring high water quality in the Southern Appalachian region. view more (2006-01-31)
Improved e-jet printing provides higher resolution and more versatility
By combining electrically induced fluid flow with nanoscale nozzles, researchers at the University of Illinois have established new benchmarks for precision control and resolution in jet-printing processes. view more (2007-09-10)
Researchers Find 30% Improvement in Overall Casualty Waiting Times If Hospitals Separately Stream Minor Injury Treatment
Researchers at the University of Warwick`s Emergency Medicine Research Group have shown that the introduction of a separate stream for minor injuries in a hospital casualty department can reduce the overall number of trauma patients having to wait over an hour for treatment by around 30%. Dr Matthew Cooke from the University of Warwick`s Centre... view more... (2002-01-31)
