Smoking During Adolescence Could Increase The Risk Of Breast Cancer (pp 1033, 1044)
Authors of a Canadian study in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight the varying effects of smoking on the risk of breast cancer-adolescent women who smoke could be at an increased risk of breast cancer later in life compared with non-smokers. One in nine women in the UK have a lifetime risk of breast cancer, with a similar proportion for... view more... (2002-10-02)
Space tech keeps Pescarolo on track at Le Mans
Pescarolo Sport's use of ESA technology in their two racing cars shaved crucial seconds off every lap at last weekend's Le Mans marathon 24-hour race, helping to place them into the top ten out of 50 competitors. Pescarolo driver Frank Lagorce expressed his satisfaction with the race and his car, No. 17: "it was much better this year than... view more... (2003-06-18)
Robot submarine reveals secret stash of key Antarctic food source under sea ice
A robot submarine expedition under the Antarctic sea ice has discovered a major food reserve in the Southern Ocean. The findings, reported this week in SCIENCE, show a dense band of the shrimp-like krill under the ice, five times more concentrated than in open water. The importance of sea ice as a nursery for krill - key food for penguins, whales... view more... (2002-03-05)
NTU & SIMTech announce the first antenna-in-package solution for single-chip 60-GHz radio
Researchers at Nanyang Technology University (NTU) and Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech) have successfully developed the first Antenna-in-Package (AiP) solution in LTCC (low-temperature co-fired ceramic) technology for single-chip 60-GHz radio. view more (2008-10-22)
Noisy jobs responsible for substantial burden of hearing problems in Britain
Noise at work is responsible for severe hearing difficulties in 153,000 men and 26,000 women in Great Britain, finds a study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2002-08-30)
Asthma epidemics linked to airflow patterns in thunderstorms
It's the airflow patterns in thunderstorms, rather than the electrical activity, thunder, or rain, which trigger asthma epidemics, concludes research in Thorax. The hospital admission rates for asthma and airflow patterns during thunderstorms up to 80 km away were studied for six towns in south eastern Australia between 1995 and 1998. Hourly... view more...

Eye researchers develop new 3-D monitor vision test for children
A new random-dot stereotest using a 3D display and infrared oculography has been found to objectively assess stereopsis in children older than three years according to an article published in the November 2006 issue of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science (IOVS). view more (2006-10-26)
Cebreros marks major readiness milestone
On 9 June, a powerful new 35-metre antenna, presently undergoing acceptance testing at Cebreros, Spain, successfully picked up signals and tracked Rosetta and SMART-1. It is ESA's second deep-space ground station in its class and adds Ka-band reception capability and high pointing precision to the ESTRACK network. view more (2005-06-27)
Worldwide Consensus of Particle Physicists: Superconductivity for Future Particle Accelerator Project ILC
Today, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) announced at a scientific conference in Beijing that the planned International Linear Collider (ILC) is to be realized in superconducting technology. This decision is of great importance for DESY and its international partners, since they developed this technology together and... view more... (2004-08-20)

More Britons live alone
More Britons are living alone than ever before, with more men than women living on their own between the ages of 25 and 44. And once someone has gone solo, they are more likely to remain living alone shows new research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). view more (2005-01-27)

CHILDHOOD BEHAVIOURAL PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH LOW BIRTHWEIGHT (p 1641)
Low birthweight may be associated with the behavioural problems of attention, thought, and social difficulties in childhood which is unrelated to the cultural environment, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. The increased survival chances of extremely low-birthweight (ELBW) infants (weighing 1000 g or less at birth) has... view more... (2001-05-23)

Modern nerve stimulators to kill pain
Managing pain may one day be as easy as sticking on a Band-AidTM. Russian researchers at the company BIOFIL Ltd. in Sarov are developing a line of miniature transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) devices that work as a non-drug alternative to pain relief and are small enough for patients to use without hindering daily life. TENS... view more... (2003-11-13)
New Centre Will Help Tutors To Deliver Basic Skills Learning
STAFFORDSHIRE University - as part of its commitment to support education-based partnerships - is to help train hundreds of tutors who aim to improve literacy and numeracy skills in the community.
