CU-Boulder study shows Maya intensively cultivated manioc 1,400 years ago
A University of Colorado at Boulder team has uncovered an ancient and previously unknown Maya agricultural system -- a large manioc field intensively cultivated as a staple crop that was buried and exquisitely preserved under a blanket of ash by a volcanic eruption in present-day El Salvador 1,400 years ago. view more (2009-06-17)
CU-Boulder team discovers first ancient manioc fields in Americas
A University of Colorado at Boulder team excavating an ancient Maya village in El Salvador buried by a volcanic eruption 1,400 years ago has discovered an ancient field of manioc, the first evidence for cultivation of the calorie-rich tuber in the New World. view more (2007-08-21)
Ancient Humans Left Evidence from the Party that Ended 4,000 Years Ago
The party was over more than 4,000 years ago, but the remnants still remain in the gourds and squashes that served as dishware. view more (2009-07-22)
Delft research increases understanding of Earth's magnetic field
Research recently conducted at Delft University of Technology marks an important step forward in understanding the origins of the Earth's magnetic field. The research findings are published this week in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters. view more (2007-03-12)
Consciousness - the hardest problem in science
A Surrey scientist claims to have an answer to what is often considered to be the hardest problem in science (sometimes just known as the "Hard Problem"): why we are aware. Johnjoe McFadden, Professor of Molecular Genetics at the University of Surrey, has previously proposed that consciousness is generated by the brain's electromagnetic... view more... (2002-09-05)
Surprisingly rapid changes in the Earth's core discovered
In a recent paper published in Nature Geoscience, the geophysicist Mioara MANDEA from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Potsdam and her Danish colleague Nils OLSEN from the National Space Institute/DTU Copenhagen, have shown that motions in the fluid in the Earth's core are changing surprisingly fast, and that this, in turn, effects... view more...

Fluctuating eye pressure associated with visual field deterioration in glaucoma patients
Fluctuations in eye pressure may be associated with a decreasing peripheral field of vision in patients with glaucoma, even if their eye pressure remains low overall. view more (2007-08-14)
Epilepsy drug causes eye problems in over 40 per cent of cases
Vigabatrin, a drug used to treat epilepsy, causes eye problems in over 40 per cent of those prescribed it, shows a study in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. Vigabatrin was licensed in the UK in 1989 and was the first anti-epileptic drug to come on to the marked since the 1970s. Although effective, it has been associated with... view more... (2002-08-20)
Delft University of Technology rotates electron spin with electric field
Researchers at the Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience and the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter (FOM) have succeeded in controlling the spin of a single electron merely by using electric fields. view more (2007-11-02)
Researching Education - Widening the Debate
The report brings research on schools, further and higher education into the necessary relationship with the wider educational scenario that the government has sought to promote. It is an interesting review of the field of educational research and one which illuminates the current intensive controversies surrounding the nature and status of... view more... (1999-07-15)
Earth's magnetic field really did reverse itself
NWO researchers have developed an improved method of identifying the magnetic signals in old geological strata. The researchers used the new method to show that the earth's magnetic field really did reverse itself ten million years ago. Particles of iron in sediments orient themselves in accordance with the local magnetic field of the earth. As... view more... (2001-11-27)
New coil to make magnetic resonance (MR) imaging easier
Oxford University researchers have devised a novel coil design for magnetic resonance (MR) application, devised specifically for deep organ MR where sensitive imaging and spectroscopy have been previously difficult. Deep organ magnetic resonance requires maximised sensitivity and magnetic field homogeneity over a relatively large field of view... view more... (2003-01-24)
SCI LECTURE PAPERS SERIES NOW AVAILABLE VIA WEB
The first meeting proceedings to be published in the new Lecture Paper Series are from Hydrogenation, a meeting organised by the SCI Oils and Fats Group. Now available on the Internet, the programme comprised a series of papers covering the history, technology and applications of hydrogenation in the field of edible oils processing. The... view more... (1999-01-28)
Ultra-high-field MRI allows for earlier diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
Ultra-high-field (7T) MRI can detect multiple sclerosis lesions better than MRI which can lead to possible earlier diagnosis and treatment. view more (2007-05-07)
Evolutionary phenomenon in mice may explain human infertility
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found that field mice have evolved a unique way of ensuring faster fertilisation, a phenomenon which could explain some cases of infertility in humans. view more (2008-01-23)
Lava flows reveal clues to magnetic field reversals
Ancient lava flows are guiding a better understanding of what generates and controls the Earth's magnetic field - and what may drive it to occasionally reverse direction. view more (2008-09-29)

One-Touch Pathology Slide Microscanning
In clinical pathology the diagnostic process is a multi-step process where the pathologist views a prepared tissue sample on an optical microscope. The pathologist switches repeatedly between a low magnification, wide field view of the whole sample to a high magnification, narrow field view of selected portions of the sample. A diagnosis is made... view more... (2004-02-19)
Warriors do not always get the girl
Aggressive, vengeful behavior of individuals in some South American groups has been considered the means for men to obtain more wives and more children, but an international team of anthropologists working in Ecuador among the Waorani show that sometimes the macho guy does not do better. view more (2009-05-12)
News from Earth's magnetic field
It is widely known that the geomagnetic field shields our planet against highly energetic cosmic particles. The importance of the magnetic field for answering geological, tectonic or even archaeological questions is less known. view more (2007-12-21)
