Focusing ultrasound in the skull holds promise for brain tumour treatments
A new, reliable way of focusing ultrasound waves inside the human skull that could enable tumours deep inside the brain to be eradicated is described in a research paper published today in the Institute of Physics journal Physics in Medicine and Biology. view more (2002-04-02)
Math could help cure leukemia
When kids complain that math homework won't help them in real life, a new answer might be that math could help cure cancer. view more (2008-06-20)
MIT researchers explain mystery of gravity fingers
Researchers at MIT recently found an elegant solution to a sticky scientific problem in basic fluid mechanics: why water doesn't soak into soil at an even rate, but instead forms what look like fingers of fluid flowing downward. view more (2008-12-12)
Mathematicians find way to improve medical scans
Mathematicians at the University of Liverpool have found that it is possible to gain full control of sound waves which could lead to improved medical scans, for technology such as ultra sound machines. view more (2008-01-08)
EU Funded Project Set To Revolutionise Mathematics On The Web
A two-year investigation into mathematical web services is being undertaken with financial assistance from the Information Society Technologies (IST) programme of the European Union's Fifth Framework. With offices in the UK, Germany, Japan and the USA, the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) develops and provides world-leading software to solve... view more... (2002-12-23)
Dream of quantum computing closer to reality as mathematicians chase key breakthrough
The ability to exploit the extraordinary properties of quantum mechanics in novel applications, such as a new generation of super-fast computers, has come closer following recent progress with some of the remaining underlying mathematical problems. view more (2008-12-22)
Mathematics reveals genetic pattern of tumor growth
Using mathematical theory, UC Irvine scientists have shed light on one of cancer's most troubling puzzles - how cancer cells can alter their own genetic makeup to accelerate tumor growth. view more (2007-06-25)
£10,000 in prizes on offer to young code breakers in national competition
Mathematicians at the University of Southampton are challenging young people across the UK to try their hand at cracking codes to win cash prizes for themselves and their schools. Experts have devised a web-based competition involving a sequence of encoded messages encrypted with successively stronger ciphers. The competition will run in weekly... view more... (2002-09-24)
Free software brings affordability, transparency to mathematics
Until recently, a student solving a calculus problem, a physicist modeling a galaxy or a mathematician studying a complex equation had to use powerful computer programs that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. view more (2007-12-07)
World Wide Web Consortium Issues MathML 2.0 as a W3C Recommendation
Scientists from Industry and Academia Produce Definitive Solution for Math on the Web http://www.w3.org/ -- 21 February 2001 -- The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) today announced the release of the Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) 2.0 as a W3C Recommendation. MathML 2.0, an XML application, provides encoding mathematical notation and content... view more... (2001-03-29)
1 step closer to green chemistry and improved pharmaceuticals
Proteins are the workhorses of our cells. They help to digest our food, are at the core of our immune system, and literally shape our body from top to toe. view more (2008-06-25)
Even without math, ancients engineered sophisticated machines
Move over, Archimedes. A researcher at Harvard University is finding that ancient Greek craftsmen were able to engineer sophisticated machines without necessarily understanding the mathematical theory behind their construction. view more (2007-10-03)
Harvard scientists predict the future of the past tense
Verbs evolve and homogenize at a rate inversely proportional to their prevalence in the English language, according to a formula developed by Harvard University mathematicians who've invoked evolutionary principles to study our language over the past 1,200 years, from "Beowulf" to "Canterbury Tales" to "Harry Potter." view more (2007-10-11)
A tiny pinch from a 'z-ring' helps bacteria cells divide
In process that is shrouded in mystery, rod-shaped bacteria reproduce by splitting themselves in two. By applying advanced mathematics to laboratory data, a team led by Johns Hopkins researchers has solved a small but important part of this reproductive puzzle. view more (2007-10-12)
In new statistical approach, data decide model
A data-driven computational approach developed by a University of Illinois statistician is revealing secrets about inner Earth and discovering unique gene expressions in fruit flies, zebra fish and other living organisms. view more (2007-05-24)
NC State Researchers
Researchers at North Carolina State University have used a mathematical model that allows them to get a clearer picture of the galaxy's youngest supernova remnant by correcting for the distortions caused by cosmic dust. view more (2009-04-23)
£5.3 million award for innovative graduate training
Following a £5.3 million award from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the University of Oxford has established a new Doctoral Training Centre which is set to change the culture of interdisciplinary graduate training. Building on Oxford`s strength in interdisciplinary research, the new centre will enable... view more... (2002-10-28)
The Science Foresight Project
The Science Foresight Project is the first completely Internet-based international science foresight activity. The goal of the project was to identify emerging research developments in the physical and engineering sciences using experts selected by purely objective methods. The Science Foresight Project was a collaborative project between SPRU,... view more... (2002-08-26)
Chemists explain the switchboards in our cells
Our cells are controlled by billions of molecular "switches" and chemists at UC Santa Barbara have developed a theory that explains how these molecules work. view more (2009-08-04)
