Global warming predictions are overestimated, suggests study on black carbon
A detailed analysis of black carbon -- the residue of burned organic matter -- in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions.   view more (2008-11-20)

Landfill mining reduces environmental impact of growing waste
Retrieving material for composting from open dumps across the developing world could reduce the environmental impact of growing mountains of waste, according to researchers in India, writing today in the Inderscience publication, International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management.   view more (2007-09-19)

Resuscitation technique after brain injury may do more harm than good
The current standard practice of giving infants and children 100 percent oxygen to prevent brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation may actually inflict additional harm, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found.   view more (2008-07-01)

MIT physicists create new form of matter
MIT scientists have brought a supercool end to a heated race among physicists: They have become the first to create a new type of matter, a gas of atoms that shows high-temperature superfluidity.   view more (2005-06-22)

Annual reports fail to capture value of innovation

Sex, censorship and students in world premiere of banned play
The University of Sheffield is to stage the world premiere of Sex for Sale, a controversial 1950s melodrama by Eddie Kaplan, on 13 May 2004. The play was banned by the Lord Chamberlain in 1951 due to its controversial subject matter of sex, prostitution, murder, politics and the Mafia. It is now... view more (2004-05-07)

Supercomputers help physicists understand a force of nature
What if the tiniest components of matter were somehow different from the way they exist now, perhaps only slightly different or maybe a lot? What if they had been different from the moment the universe began in the big bang? Would matter as we know it be the same? Would humans even exist?   view more (2006-07-12)

Hubble finds large sample of very distant galaxies
New Hubble Space Telescope observations of six spectacular galaxy clusters acting as gravitational lenses have given significant insights into the early stages of the Universe. Scientists have found the largest sample of very distant galaxies seen to date: ten promising candidates thought to lie at... view more (2008-07-25)

Brains of term infants with heart disease resemble those of preemies
The brains of full-term infants with congenital heart disease appear more similar to those of premature newborns than to the brains of normal term infants, a study conducted by researchers at UCSF has found.   view more (2007-11-08)

Background: Particulates - Ever tinier particles are coming under the researchers' microscopes
Our senses are not attuned to this danger. You can't smell them, you can't taste them and particulates are not visible to the naked eye. They are tiny, with a diameter not even a tenth of that of a hair. Yet they have a major impact.   view more (2005-03-18)

NASA data link pollution to rainy summer days in the southeast
Rainfall data from a NASA satellite show that summertime storms in the southeastern United States shed more rainfall midweek than on weekends. Scientists say air pollution from humans is likely driving that trend.   view more (2008-02-04)

Scientists at Low Temperature Laboratory planning to model a black hole
Academy Professor Matti Krusius and Antti Finne, M.Sc. (Eng.), were invited to a recent science breakfast, hosted by the Academy of Finland, to talk about their ongoing work to produce a first-ever laboratory simulation of a black hole. A black hole is created as a result of the most extreme... view more (2003-04-16)

LHC switch-on fears are completely unfounded
A new report published on Friday, 5 September, provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)'s switch-on, due on Wednesday next week, poses no threat to mankind. Nature's own cosmic rays regularly produce more powerful particle collisions than... view more (2008-09-08)

XMM-Newton digs into the secrets of fossil galaxy clusters
Taking advantage of the high sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton and the sharp vision of NASA's Chandra X-Ray space observatories, astronomers have studied the behaviour of massive fossil galaxy clusters, trying to find out how they find the time to form-   view more (2006-05-01)
