Scientists use world's fastest supercomputer to model origins of the unseen universe
Understanding dark energy is the number one issue in explaining the universe, according to Salman Habib, of the Laboratory's Nuclear and Particle Physics, Astrophysics and Cosmology group. view more (2009-10-27)
Discovery will assist treatment and research into fatal brain disorder
Research using newly developed Magnetic Resonance Imaging technology could soon allow clinicians to confirm Huntington's disease before symptoms appear in people who have the gene for the fatal brain disease. view more (2008-06-17)
Intense heat killed the Universe's would-be galaxies, researchers say
Our Milky Way galaxy only survived because it was already immersed in a large clump of dark matter which trapped gases inside it. view more (2009-07-01)
The critical importance of mangroves to ocean life
Mangroves, the backbone of the tropical ocean coastlines, are far more important to the global ocean's biosphere than previously thought. view more (2006-02-28)
Coarse particulate matter in air may harm hearts of asthma sufferers, UNC study finds
Breathing air containing coarse particulate matter such as road or construction dust may cause heart problems for asthma sufferers and other vulnerable populations, according to a new study led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health. view more (2007-05-10)
Lithium Builds Gray Matter in Bipolar Brains, UCLA Study Shows
Neuroscientists at UCLA have shown that lithium, long the standard treatment for bipolar disorder, increases the amount of gray matter in the brains of patients with the illness. view more (2007-04-11)
Invitation to the Media - String virtuosos gather in Oxford - 1st International Conference on String Phenomenology
Next week the University of Oxford is hosting a meeting of string experts - not in this case well-known musicians, but internationally renowned scientists. The meeting will bring together physicists who are striving to develop a consistent theory of the nature of matter - in other words, the basic building bricks of ourselves and the Universe we... view more...

Psychological stress in overseas aid workers
Aid agencies should provide psychological support for their staff "as a matter of course", says a psychologist who has studied the way traumatic events affect aid workers. view more (2005-03-21)
Prenatal meth exposure linked to abnormal brain development
A first of its kind study examining the effects of methamphetamine use during pregnancy has found the drug appears to cause abnormal brain development in children. view more (2009-04-16)
Secrets from within planets pave way for cleaner energy
Research that has provided a deeper understanding into the centre of planets could also provide the way forward in the world's quest for cleaner energy. view more (2008-10-23)
GAMMA RAYS AND DARK MATTER
For a long time it has been known that the Milky Way is surrounded by a (nearly spherical) halo of invisible matter, which contributes at least 90% of the whole galactic mass. Yet, almost nothing is known about the nature of such a dark halo. view more (1999-02-26)
Scientists elucidate the origin of the darkest galaxies in the universe
Ghostly galaxies composed almost entirely of dark matter speckle the universe. Unlike normal galaxies, these extreme systems contain very few stars and are almost devoid of gas. view more (2007-02-15)
New stars from old gas surprise astronomers
Evidence of star birth within a cloud of primordial gas has given astronomers a glimpse of a previously unknown mode of galaxy formation. The cloud, known as the Leo Ring, appears to lack the dark matter and heavy elements normally found in galaxies today. view more (2009-02-19)
Shedding light on the cosmic skeleton
"Matter is not distributed uniformly in the Universe," says Masayuki Tanaka from ESO, who led the new study. "In our cosmic vicinity, stars form in galaxies and galaxies usually form groups and clusters of galaxies. The most widely accepted cosmological theories predict that matter also clumps on a larger scale in the so-called... view more... (2009-11-03)
First Image and Spectrum of a Dark Matter Object
HST and VLT Identify MACHO as a Small and Cool Star An international team of astronomers has observed a Dark Matter object directly for the first time. Images and spectra of a MACHO microlens - a nearby dwarf star that gravitationally focuses light from a star in another galaxy - were taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the... view more...

Rare galaxies shed light on a dark universe
Researchers based at the Institute for Computational Cosmology (ICC) in Durham and at Caltech in California, have found striking proof that their computer simulations of the universe can accurately predict how galaxies are clustered, so helping to reveal the distribution of dark matter throughout the universe. Using a computer simulation to follow... view more... (2002-04-04)
Physicist: Stars can be strange
According to the "Strange Matter Hypothesis," which gained popularity in the paranormal 1980's, nuclear matter, too, can be strange. view more (2006-12-19)
Galaxy evolution in cyber universe matches astronomical observations in fine detail
Scientists at the University of Chicago have bolstered the case for a popular scenario of the big bang theory that neatly explains the arrangement of galaxies throughout the universe. view more (2006-06-06)
Increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere linked to decreased soil organic matter
A recent study at the University of Illinois created a bit of a mystery for soil scientist Michelle Wander - increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was expected to increase plant growth, increase plant biomass and ultimately beef up the organic matter in the soil -- but it didn't. view more (2008-03-12)
Study discovers link between increased white matter and poor motor skills in children with autism
A study published in the August issue of the journal Brain demonstrates, for the first time, an association between increased white matter volume and functional impairment in children with autism. view more (2007-07-31)
