Rutgers researchers 'rewrite the book' in quantum statistical physics
An important part of the decades-old assumption thought to be essential for quantum statistical physics is being challenged by researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and colleagues in Germany and Italy. view more (2006-02-10)
NIST math technique opens clearer window on universe
A fast, efficient image enhancement technique developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and originally applied to improving monochrome microscope images has proved itself equally effective at the other end of the scale- sharpening details on color images of distant galaxies produced by the Hubble Space Telescope. view more (2006-12-11)
Mechanism Behind Stuttering Revealed (p 380)
Stuttering is caused by a structural abnormality in the left hemisphere of the brain, according to an article in this week's LANCET. Dr Martin Sommer and colleagues from the Universities of Hamburg and Göttingen in Germany report that persistent developmental stuttering results from a disconnection of speech-related areas in the cortex.... view more...

Dysfunctional protein dynamics behind neurological disease?
Researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have taken a snapshot of proteins changing shape, sticking together and creating structures that are believed to trigger deadly processes in the nervous system. view more (2009-10-14)
New CT technology shows anorexia impairs adolescent bone development
Children and teenagers with even mild cases of anorexia exhibit abnormal bone structure, according to a new study appearing in the December issue of Radiology and presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-11-18)
AN INTELLIGENT COMBINATION OF MATHEMATICS AND CELL BIOLOGY COULD SPELL DEATH TO BRAIN TUMOURS
Combining two separate observations of cells in brain tumours could enable doctors to improve the success rate of radiotherapy. Speaking today (23 January) at the Institute of Physics Simulation and Modelling Applied to Medicine conference in London, chemical engineer Dr Norman Kirkby from the University of Surrey will explain how using the... view more...

DNA’s oscillating double helix hinders electrical conduction
DNA has an oscillating double-helix structure. This oscillating means that the DNA molecules conduct electricity much less well than was previously thought. Ultrafast cameras were one of the devices the researchers from Amsterdam used to demonstrate this. It turns out the DNA does not have a rigid regular structure as stated in textbooks. In... view more... (2002-09-11)
Sound investment: A new mathematical method provides a better way to analyze noise
Humans have 200 million light receptors in their eyes, 10 to 20 million receptors devoted to smell, but only 8,000 dedicated to sound. view more (2006-07-27)
Teenage pregnancies are influenced by family structure BMJ Volume 324, p 51
Without better marriage education and support in the United Kingdom, teenage pregnancy rates are likely to remain high even with increasing availability of contraceptives, suggests a letter in this week's BMJ. Trevor Stammers of St George's Hospital Medical School in London reports that young people aged 14-17 who live in a two parent family are... view more... (2002-01-02)
Chemical Bonding States at Silicon / Silicon Dioxide Interfaces Characterisable with Light
The importance of characterising the atomic structure of the silicon / silicon dioxide interface as an essential component in highly integrated circuits has steadily increased as a result of continuing miniaturisation of silicon chips. The physicists, Dr. Stefan Bergfeld, Bjoern Braunschweig and Prof. Dr. Winfried Daum, Institute of Physics and... view more... (2004-08-26)
Building blocks of the future
Structure and properties of carbon nanostructures The discovery in 1985 of fullerenes, tiny carbon balls of nanometer dimensions, ushered in a new era in international science. Only a few years later (1991) scientific interest also started to focus on so-called carbon nanotubes. The discovery of improved production methods (1996) has meanwhile... view more... (2002-12-05)
How Safe Are Your Foundations?
Catastrophic failure of the foundations of a large structure such as an oil drilling or exploration platform are costly in terms of wasted time, inconvenience, environmental damage or monetary value, but add to this the potential cost of the loss of human life and the confidence of the public in the industry falls rapidly. Consideration of all of... view more... (2004-05-13)
Unexpected discovery about earth's core
The core of the earth doesn't look the way it was expected to. Scientists at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden , KTH, can now show that iron, under extremely high pressure, such as that found in the inner earth, takes on unexpected properties, and this can be of importance in understanding the movements of the earth, such as,... view more...

Science Education from 14 to 19
In its first major inquiry of the Parliament the Science and Technology Committee will conduct an inquiry into the science curriculum for 14-19 year olds. A recent study of 15 year olds in 32 countries painted a favourable picture of science education in the UK. The proportion of university applications in the sciences is falling, however, and... view more... (2001-12-19)
Gerton Lab determines the composition of centromeric chromatin
The Stowers Institute's Gerton Lab has provided new evidence to clarify the structure of nucleosomes containing Cse4, a centromere-specific histone protein required for proper kinetochore function, which plays a critical role in the process of mitosis. The work, conducted in yeast cells, was published in the most recent issue of Molecular Cell. view more (2009-09-29)
Anti-rollover device for tractors
An Agricultural Mechanisation team from the Department of Rural Projects and Engineering at the Public University of Navarre have designed a new anti-rollover structure for pre-1980 registered tractors. It involves a double arch protection system located at both the front and behind the driver's seat and anchored to the chassis of a Massey... view more... (2005-02-22)
Crystal sieves, born anew
The porous, sieve-like minerals known as zeolites have been used for decades in purifiers, filters and other devices. view more (2006-04-18)
UCLA develops new model to predict the spread of a 'super-bug' in L.A. county jail
Researchers at UCLA have developed a mathematical model that mimics a particularly nasty and ongoing outbreak in the Los Angeles County Jail (LACJ) of the flesh eating bacteria Staphylococcus Aureus. view more (2007-08-16)
Watching rocks grow: Theory explains landscape of geothermal springs
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have successfully modeled the spectacular landscapes seen at geothermal hot springs. view more (2006-07-06)
Body's anti-HIV drug explained
Humans have a built-in weapon against HIV, but until recently no one knew how to unlock its potential. view more (2008-10-13)
