Breakthrough in plant research
The research groups of the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences of the University of Helsinki and the University of California in San Diego have discovered a gene that is centrally involved in the regulation of carbon dioxide uptake for photosynthesis and water evaporation in plants.   view more (2008-02-28)

Sensitive laser instrument could aid search for life on Mars
Minuscule traces of cells can be detected in a mineral likely present on Mars, a new study shows. The results, obtained using a technique developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, could help mission scientists choose Martian surface samples with the most promise for yielding signs of life.   view more (2008-10-16)

Penn researchers use honeybee venom toxin to develop a new tool for studying hypertension
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have modified a honeybee venom toxin so that it can be used as a tool to study the inner workings of ion channels that control heart rate and the recycling of salt in kidneys.   view more (2008-09-18)

Suprising discovery may lead to new understanding of water quality
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered new ways that ions interact with mineral surfaces in water, opening a door to new knowledge on how contaminants travel in the environment. The insight, leads to a better understanding of the factors that determine water quality.   view more (2006-07-12)

Chemists forge a new form of iron
An international team of chemists has discovered a new and unexpected form of iron, a finding that adds to the fundamental understanding of an element that is among the most abundant on Earth and that, in nature, is an essential catalyst for life.   view more (2006-06-02)

Artemis starts its journey to final orbit
Thanks to ion propulsion, the Artemis mission is turning near-defeat into a success story. Nominal operations could start this summer, with ESA`s satellite, manufactured by Alenia Spazio as prime contractor (I), playing a significant role in the pursuit of high technology and advanced telecommunications. On 12 July 2001, 30 minutes after... view more... (2002-02-21)

Gene controlling circadian rhythms may be involved in onset of bipolar disorder

Nature press release for 28 September issue
[407487] PHYSICS: PANIC OVER? (pp487–490; N&V) Engineers and architects try to design buildings in anticipation of the worst; but the worst is hard to predict. When panic strikes, people do not behave rationally. This week, Dirk Helbing of the Dresden University of Technology and colleagues present a model that should help predict how... view more...

Master genetic switch found for chronic pain
In experiments with mice, researchers have found that eliminating what appears to be a master genetic switch for the development of pain-sensing neurons knocks out the animals' response to "neuropathic pain."   view more (2006-01-26)

Physicists trap, map tiny magnetic vortex
In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the three-dimensional structure of a tornado-like magnetic vortex no larger than a red blood cell.   view more (2006-09-08)

Getting better visualization of joint cartilage through cationic CT contrast agents
In its quest to find new strategies to treat osteoarthritis and other diseases, a Boston University-led research team has reported finding a new computer tomography contrast agent for visualizing the special distributions of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) - the anionic sugars that account for the strength of joint cartilage.   view more (2009-09-02)
