Simple explanation for complex pattern of feather development
Biologists testing a mathematical model of the mechanism birds use to control the growth of complex feathers found that plumed feather structures involve the coordination of at least two genes that activate and that inhibit barb growth. view more (2005-08-16)
Finding out how the patterns of Nature develop
Researchers in the UK are developing new computer modelling techniques to show how intricate patterns in living organisms, such as those seen on the wing of a butterfly, might develop as the organism grows. The research could shed important new light on the fundamental biology of how patterns form in nature. The project is funded by the Swindon... view more... (2001-08-30)
Math plus cryptography equals drama and conflict
Cryptography is just about as old as written communication itself, and mathematics has long supplied methods for the cryptographic toolbox. view more (2007-08-08)
The retention of transition metals
Transition metals are essential for life but, depending on their concentration in the environment, they can prove to be toxic and provoke serious environmental impact. The aim of this PhD is to study the retention of transition metals by humic substances. Humic substances are, on the other hand, macromolecules arising from the physical, chemical... view more...

The mathematics of a lampshade
Try to solve the following maths problem: does x^3+y^2+1 produce the same form as x^3+3y^2+xy^2? For cubic equations, it’s possible to solve this problem, but mathematicians found things more difficult in the case of equations of the fourth order such as x^4+y^3+2y^2=3, a curve shaped like a lampshade. Eindhoven researchers, funded by NWO... view more... (2001-05-30)
US culture derails girl math whizzes
A culture of neglect and, at some age levels, outright social ostracism, is derailing a generation of students, especially girls, deemed the very best in mathematics, according to a new study. view more (2008-10-10)
Researchers fine-tune Diffuse Optical Tomography for breast cancer screening
Clemson University researchers in collaboration with researchers at the University of Bremen, Germany, are working to make the physical pain and discomfort of mammograms a thing of the past, while allowing for diagnostic imaging eventually to be done in a home setting. view more (2009-10-07)
£350,000 Computer Boost for New Science Centre at University of Leicester
A new £350,000 supercomputer is set to make number crunching as nice as pi for mathematicians at the University of Leicester. The University has established a new Centre for Mathematical Modelling within the Faculty of Science and will link researchers in diverse disciplines such Physics, Chemistry, Maths and Engineering. The 64-processor... view more... (2000-11-07)
Structure of key cancer drug target identified
Researchers from Monash's Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology have determined the structure of the protein JAK2 kinase, a discovery with huge implications for the design and development of new cancer drugs. view more (2005-10-26)
Relocation, relocation, relocation
As sea levels rise in the wake of climate change and semi-arid regions turn to desert, people living in those parts of the world are likely to be displaced. A mathematical approach to planned relocation reported in the International Journal of Mathematics and Operational Research. view more (2009-04-02)
£5 Million Award for Pioneering Project to Train New Breed of Scientists
The University of Warwick has been awarded £5 Million from EPSRC (Engineering and Physical sciences Research Council) for a new Life-Sciences Doctoral Training Centre set to educate a new breed of scientists. The funds secure 50 student doctoral student projects on a new multidisciplinary programme that will produce a new generation of life... view more... (2003-06-18)
MU Physicist Says Testing Technique for Gravitomagnetic Field is Ineffective
Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity has fascinated physicists and generated debate about the origin of the universe and the structure of objects like black holes and complex stars called quasars. view more (2007-06-04)
Anti-bodies from Bioreactors no Science Fiction
By combining biochemical knowledge with mathematical models, Bas Romein has been able to bring the production of anti-bodies in a bioreactor a step closer to reality. The current production technique for anti-bodies for use in vaccines is time-consuming and expensive. Until now, animals were used for this process. Romein: “Some mammalian... view more...

Stunning Animations Illustrate Cutting Edge Research and Herald a New Era in Mathematics Visualization
A collaboration between a mathematician and an artist-geometer has resulted in some of the most mathematically sophisticated and aesthetically gripping animations ever seen in the field. view more (2006-11-02)
How parachute spiders invade new territory
Researchers have developed a new model that explains how spiders are able to 'fly' or 'parachute' into new territory on single strands of silk — sometimes covering distances of hundreds of miles over open ocean. view more (2006-07-12)
Opals manufactured by beetles
The gemstone opal could be manufactured synthetically copying a technique employed by a beetle to control the appearance of its outer shell. Researchers from the Department of Zoology at the University of Oxford have discovered the first case of opal in an animal, in this case in the weevil Pachyrhynchus argus, found in forests in north-eastern... view more...

Biologists use computers to study bacterial cell division
A group of computational biologists at Virginia Tech have created a mathematical model of the process that regulates cell division in a common bacterium, confirming hypotheses, providing new insights, identifying gaps in what is understood so far, and demonstrating the role of computation in biology. view more (2008-01-25)
Complicating in order to simplify
In a paper that will be published March 1 in the proceedings of the Royal Society, two engineers at the Viterbi School of Engineering offer a new and potentially much more flexible method of mathematically describing mechanical systems. view more (2006-03-02)
What makes a fast racehorse?
Around 80 per cent of modern thoroughbred racehorses have in their pedigree the 18th century horse Eclipse, which went its entire racing career unbeaten. 200 years later the question of what makes a fast racehorse still perplexes trainers and racing fans but researchers at The Royal Veterinary College may have found the answer to this and other... view more...

Another bar in the Bulge
Using 2MASS data, Christophe Alard (astronomer at Paris Observatory) has reconstructed a map of the projected density of the old stellar population of the Galactic Bulge region. By making a combination of the H and K photometric bands, it is possible to overcome the effect of reddening, and thus penetrate the inner structure of the Galactic Bulge. view more (2001-11-21)
