DNA constraints control structure of attached macromolecules
A new method for manipulating macromolecules has been developed by researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The technique uses double-stranded DNA to direct the behavior of other molecules.   view more (2005-06-29)

New Models of Weather Pattern
For a mathematician, Joseph Biello spends a lot of time thinking about the weather. But the UC Davis assistant professor isn't looking out the office window. He is using mathematical theory to build a model of the Madden-Julian Oscillation, a tropical weather pattern that influences drought and rainfall in the western U.S.   view more (2005-12-12)

Tumor growth and chemo response may be predicted by mathematical model
The aggressiveness of tumors and their susceptibility to chemotherapy may become easier to predict based on a mathematical model developed at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.   view more (2009-05-19)

From molecules to the Milky Way: dealing with the data deluge
Most people have a few gigabytes of files on their PC. In the next decade, astronomers expect to be processing 10 million gigabytes of data every hour from the Square Kilometre Array telescope.   view more (2007-11-08)

Iowa State researcher studies gene families to explore diversity and evolution
Theoretical biologist Stephen Proulx studies gene families to explore how genomes become diverse and evolve.   view more (2006-08-01)

A mighty number falls
Mathematicians and number buffs have their records. And today, an international team has broken a long-standing one in an impressive feat of calculation.   view more (2007-05-22)

Trees facilitate wildfires as a way to protect their habitat
Fire is often thought of something that trees should be protected from, but a new study suggests that some trees may themselves contribute to the likelihood of wildfires in order to promote their own abundance at the expense of their competitors.   view more (2009-10-29)

The Mathematics of Cloaking
The theorists who first created the mathematics that describe the behavior of the recently announced "invisibility cloak" have revealed a new analysis that may extend the current cloak's powers, enabling it to hide even actively radiating objects like a flashlight or cell phone.   view more (2006-12-27)

New £6m biocentre to revolutionise the production of safer medicines
The University of Manchester has been awarded £6m to open a new biocentre which will revolutionise the way future medicines are produced - making them safer and more effective.   view more (2005-03-14)

Shedding light on the cosmic skeleton
"Matter is not distributed uniformly in the Universe," says Masayuki Tanaka from ESO, who led the new study. "In our cosmic vicinity, stars form in galaxies and galaxies usually form groups and clusters of galaxies. The most widely accepted cosmological theories predict that matter also clumps on a larger scale in the so-called... view more... (2009-11-03)

Nanophysics: Serving up Buckyballs on a silver platter
Scientists at Penn State University, in collaboration with institutes in the US, Finland, Germany and the UK, have figured out the long-sought structure of a layer of C60 - carbon buckyballs - on a silver surface.   view more (2009-07-28)

Hebrew University Scientists Shed Lights On How Bacteria Persist Despite Antibiotics
Persistence pays off - for bacteria as well as people. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Rockefeller University in New York have demonstrated the constant presence of antibiotic-tolerant "persistent cells" within bacteria colonies and have shown, through mathematical modeling, how these cells develop into... view more...

UCLA mathematician works to make virtual surgery a reality
A surgeon accidently kills a patient, undoes the error and starts over again. Can mathematics make such science fiction a reality?   view more (2007-11-27)

International Excellence Team To Work On Infectious Disease At The Gulbenkian Science Institute, In Portugal
The Gulbenkian Science Institute (IGC), in Portugal, is to host one of the 20 excellence teams approved by the European Commission in the 2004 call. The team, led by IGC researcher Gabriela Gomes, has been awarded a grant of approximately one million and nine hundred thousand euro, to be used over a period of four years. The scientists on the team... view more... (2005-01-31)

Obtaining high performance coatings through simple latex film simulations
In the formation of high performance coatings, it is known that the process whereby a film forms from a colloidal dispersion is a key step.   view more (2005-11-28)

Seismic research without artificial source
Researchers at TU Delft have made progress in the theoretical foundation of a special subsoil imaging technique. This technique could be used to chart underground mineral resources, it is called "acoustic daylight imaging". The method uses natural acoustic signals, already present in the earth, to create an image of the subsurface... view more... (2004-12-21)

Cartilage discovery offers arthritis hope
Scientists have revealed the intricate structure of cartilage in what they hope will provide clues to how the crippling joint disease osteoarthritis might one day be treated.   view more (2007-01-11)

Structural polymorphism of 441-residue Tau at single residue resolution
Worldwide almost 30 million suffer from Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible, neurodegenerative condition that is eventually fatal.   view more (2009-02-17)

Researchers reveal key human protein's structure, promising new discoveries for leukemia, AIDS and cellular calcium release
Cornell University researchers have discovered the 3-D crystal structure of a protein, human CD38, which may lead to important discoveries about how cells release calcium - a mineral used in almost every cellular process.   view more (2005-09-20)

Unique partnership produces life-critical 3D structures
Most diseases are caused by malfunctions in the body's complex protein machinery. The next generation of drugs will be designed on the basis of 3D protein models that scientists are creating.   view more (2007-03-29)
