Study reveals mass migration of mormon crickets driven by hunger, fear
An international team of researchers, including Kent State University professor Dr. Patrick D. Lorch, have revealed the motivating factors behind the seasonal mass migration of Mormon crickets in western North America. view more (2006-03-03)
Hydrogen sensors are faster, more sensitive
Hydrogen sensor technology is a critical component for safety and other practical concerns in the proposed hydrogen economy. For example, hydrogen sensors will detect leaks from hydrogen powered cars and fueling stations long before the gas becomes an explosive hazard. view more (2005-05-26)
Bladder cells feel stretch
Japanese research group led by Prof. Makoto Tominaga and Dr. Takaaki Sokabe (National Institute for Physiological Sciences: NIPS), and Prof. Masayuki Takeda, Dr. Isao Araki and Dr. Tsutomu Mochizuki (Yamanashi Univ.), found that bladder urothelial cells have a sensor for stretch stimulation. view more (2009-08-07)
Centrefold models are becoming more androgynous
The shapely body characteristics of centrefold models have given way to more androgynous ones, concludes a study in this week's Christmas issue of the BMJ. Researchers looked at trends in Playboy centrefold models' body measurements by analysing 577 consecutive monthly issues of Playboy, from the magazine's inception in December 1953 to December... view more...

Growth hormone treatment after weight loss surgery prevents loss of muscle mass
Growth hormone treatment for six months after weight loss surgery reduces patients' losses in lean body mass and skeletal muscle mass, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2009-02-03)
Portable cocaine sensor developed at UC Santa Barbara
A real-time sensor for detecting cocaine -- made with inexpensive, off-the-shelf electronics -- has been developed by a team of researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara. view more (2006-02-27)
New security and medical sensor devices made possible by metallic nanostructures
Scientists have designed tiny new sensor structures that could be used in novel security devices to detect poisons and explosives, or in highly sensitive medical sensors. view more (2009-04-07)
A rare diagnosis in the operation room: Kidney atrophy due to duplicated colon in an adult
Gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are rare entities in an adult patient. Commonly they are located in the upper gastrointestinal system and present with intestinal symptoms such as bleeding, obstruction and/or perforation of the intestine. view more (2008-02-22)
ZAMBIAN WOMEN SUPPORT MASS NEVIRAPINE DISTRIBUTION (p 1611)
Pregnant women in Zambia-a country with high HIV-1 prevalence-would support a mass distribution campaign for the HIV drug nevirapine, according to a survey detailed in a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. view more (2001-11-07)
Team develops energy-efficient microchip
Researchers at MIT and Texas Instruments have unveiled a new chip design for portable electronics that can be up to 10 times more energy-efficient than present technology. The design could lead to cell phones, implantable medical devices and sensors that last far longer when running from a battery. view more (2008-02-05)
Not so sweet: Over-consumption of sugar linked to aging
We know that lifespan can be extended in animals by restricting calories such as sugar intake. view more (2009-03-06)
New miniaturised chip dramatically reduces time taken for DNA analysis
A team of researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona has developed new miniature sensors for analysing DNA. The sensors have the same size and thickness as a fingernail and reduce the time needed to identify DNA chains to several minutes or a few hours, depending on each chain. These sensors can be applied to many different tasks,... view more... (2005-04-04)
Obesity associated with higher risk for urinary tract infections
As body mass increases, so does a patient's risk of urinary tract infection (UTI), according to Baltimore researchers. A new study, presented at the 104th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) assesses and stratifies this risk. view more (2009-04-27)
Funding to develop tomorrow's technology
The University of Sussex is the only university to receive two awards from a new multi-million-pound government fund that aims to revolutionise scientific research and innovation. Two initiatives at Sussex are to be supported by the Basic Technology Research Programme, which is being managed by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research... view more... (2002-02-26)
Stanford researchers developing 3-D camera with 12,616 lenses
The camera you own has one main lens and produces a flat, two-dimensional photograph, whether you hold it in your hand or view it on your computer screen. On the other hand, a camera with two lenses (or two cameras placed apart from each other) can take more interesting 3-D photos. view more (2008-03-20)
Lean muscle mass helps even obese patients battle cancer
Lean muscle-mass may give even obese people an advantage in battling cancer, a University of Alberta study shows. view more (2008-12-18)
Wobbly Toddlers
The immature co-ordination of first-time walkers makes balance difficult. To overcome this problem toddlers adopt a more stable pattern of walking. A pilot study presented at the Society for Experimental Biology conference in Swansea today has recorded this pattern of locomotion which may help in the understanding and treatment of walking... view more...

NIST develops novel ion trap for sensing force and light
Miniature devices for trapping ions (electrically charged atoms) are common components in atomic clocks and quantum computing research. Now, a novel ion trap geometry demonstrated at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could usher in a new generation of applications because the device holds promise as a stylus for sensing... view more...

Research shows women's weight gain brings loss of income, job prestige
An increase in a woman's body mass results in a decrease in her family income and a decline in her occupational prestige, according to research conducted by New York University sociologist Dalton Conley and Rebecca Glauber, an NYU graduate student. The study was sponsored by the Cambridge, MA-based National Bureau of Economic Research. view more (2005-05-26)
