Blow for hair link to breast cancer
The promising link between certain properties in human hair which could have potentially helped in diagnosis of breast cancer is "dubious" according to research published today in the Institute of Physics journal, Physics in Medicine and Biology. Dr Mark Sutton of the McGill University in Canada and colleagues have found no clear association... view more... (2002-04-26)
Mathematician uses topology to study abstract spaces, solve problems
Studying complex systems, such as the movement of robots on a factory floor, the motion of air over a wing, or the effectiveness of a security network, can present huge challenges. Mathematician Robert Ghrist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is developing advanced mathematical tools to simplify such tasks. view more (2006-08-16)
Examination of radiation left from birth of universe could alter theories
Using relic radiation from the birth of the universe, astrophysicists at the University of Illinois have proposed a new way of measuring the fine-structure constant in the past, and comparing it with today. view more (2007-04-03)
Rare disorder gives modelers first glimpse at immune system development
Children born without thymus glands have given Duke University Medical Center researchers a rare opportunity to watch as a new immune system develops its population of infection-fighting T-cells. view more (2009-06-17)
Scientists and engineers simulate jet colliding with World Trade Center
Researchers at Purdue University have created a simulation that uses scientific principles to study in detail what likely happened when a commercial airliner crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower on Sept. 11, 2001. view more (2006-09-13)
A new approach to study flu drug resistance
Researchers have created a new approach for studying resistance to Neuraminidase Inhibitors (NI) in influenza. view more (2007-12-07)
Mobil Technology Company Launches Contracted Research in Russian Nuclear City
VNIITF is located in Snezhinsk, Russia - the nuclear city formerly known as Chelyabinsk-70. The new agreement addresses the modelling of oil flow in porous media, and will provide Mobil Technology with sophisticated new mathematical solvers used in oil well optimisation. view more (1999-10-13)
Nano-sediment highways in catalyst
Dutch chemists have visualised how the porous structure of a zeolite catalyst depends on the production method. Zeolite made with carbon fibres as a template, has particles with straight canals that act as highways for the oil components which must be converted into benzene components. Zeolite is normally given a steam treatment to improve its... view more... (2003-03-21)
Does evolution select for faster evolvers?
It's a mystery why the speed and complexity of evolution appear to increase with time. For example, the fossil record indicates that single-celled life first appeared about 3.5 billion years ago, and it then took about 2.5 billion more years for multi-cellular life to evolve. view more (2007-01-30)
Materials' crystal properties illuminated by mathematical 'lighthouse'
A deeper fundamental understanding of complex materials may now be possible, thanks to a pair of Princeton scientists who have uncovered a new insight into how crystals form. view more (2008-01-18)
Australia's top models at science conference
Australia's top models will take centre stage in Cairns this week as scientists meet to discuss ways to understand climate change, improve air safety and enhance agricultural sustainability. view more (2009-07-14)
Probability Controls The Molecule Of Life
Thanks to biophysicists, statistics has reached the most intimate aspect of life - regulation of genes' activity. Investigation on probabilistic aspects of molecular biology has been supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the INTAS Foundation. Regulation of genes' activity is one of the most important biological problems which... view more... (2004-05-24)
Sugar-coated antibiotics
Researchers from the John Innes Centre and the University of East Anglia have recently elucidated the structure and function of an enzyme which is involved in decorating antibiotics with sugar molecules. view more (2008-05-29)
Protein discovery could unlock the secret to better TB treatment
UCL scientists have found a protein that could unlock the secret to quicker, more effective treatment of TB by waking TB bacteria in the body. Once the TB bacteria are active again, the disease becomes treatable using common drugs like antibiotics. Scientists believe that uncovering the molecular structure of this protein will lead the way to... view more... (2005-02-28)
Spiders Help Scientists Discover How Muscles Relax
Using muscle tissue from tarantulas, an HHMI international research scholar and his colleagues have figured out the detailed structure and arrangement of the miniature molecular motors that control movement. view more (2005-08-25)
Probing and controlling 'molecular rattling' may mean better preservatives
For centuries, people have preserved fruit by mixing it with sugar, making thick jams that last for months without spoiling. Now scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered a fundamental property of mixture behavior that might help extend the life of many things including vaccines, food and library... view more...

Living Metals
Using synchrotron x-ray microbeams, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart and the ESRF has been able to observe for the first time that the microscopic structure of a crystalline material fluctuates in time. The results are published today in Science Express with the title: Scaling in the Time Domain:... view more... (2005-04-22)

RiboTargets joins Partnership for Structural Biology at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility
RiboTargets, the structure-based drug discovery company that develops novel cancer and anti-bacterial therapeutics, announced today that it has joined the new Partnership for Structural Biology (PSB) established at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF). Associate membership of the PSB will provide guaranteed access to beamlines at... view more... (2003-01-24)
Are you one of the few that respond to treatment for hepatitis C?
In some patients resistance to treatment for hepatitis C can be detected as early as the first three days of treatment, according to a team of scientists in a recent article published in Hepatology. This knowledge should help clinicians predict the effectiveness of individual treatments and consequently decide who should go through such a regimen.... view more... (2003-06-24)
