HERA GETS GOING WITH ELECTRONS
The Hadron Electron Ring Accelerator (HERA) at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg is about to begin operations for 1998 with a return to electrons. Since 1993, the machine has been producing head-on collisions between high-energy protons and positrons - the antimatter equivalent of electrons. Now it is... view more (1998-08-11)

Bottleneck in Blood Supply Makes Brain Vulnerable to Strokes
A team of UC San Diego physicists and neuroscientists has discovered a bottleneck in the network of blood vessels in the brain that makes it vulnerable to strokes. The finding may explain the origin of the puzzling damage to the brain's gray matter often detected in brain scans, especially among... view more (2007-01-05)

Penn State Researchers Look Beyond the Birth of the Universe
According to Einstein's general theory of relativity, the Big Bang represents The Beginning, the grand event at which not only matter but space-time itself was born.   view more (2006-05-15)

Michigan integral to world's largest physics experiment
After 20 years of construction, a machine that could either verify or nullify the prevailing theory of particle physics is about to begin its mission.   view more (2008-09-08)

Study using new imaging technology detects subtle brain changes in patients with Type 1 diabetes
Although people with diabetes are twice as likely as the general population to develop depression, the cause of this increased risk is not well understood.   view more (2006-02-01)

ESA to look for the missing link in gravity
Although you can never be certain of predicting future developments in science, there is a good chance of a fundamental breakthrough in physics soon. With a series of unique experiments and missions designed to test our understanding of gravity, the European Space Agency (ESA) hopes to get to the... view more (2002-09-11)

The gigantic respiration of crystalline solids
Previously, only amorphous polymer materials approached such levels of performance. On the other hand, these "gigantic respiration" and their respiration, which takes place at constant overall shape, is reversible. This discovery, of interest for numerous industrial applications, is... view more (2007-04-02)

Newly discovered 'superinsulators' promise to transform materials research, electronics design
Superinsulation may sound like a marketing gimmick for a drafty attic or winter coat. But it is actually a newly discovered fundamental state of matter created by scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory in collaboration with several European institutions.   view more (2008-04-09)

Conventional plowing is 'skinning our agricultural fields'
Traditional plow-based agricultural methods and the need to feed a rapidly growing world population are combining to deplete the Earth's soil supply, a new study confirms.   view more (2007-08-09)

Looking for something? Surprising number of neurons help find it, research shows
A person searching for a ripe tomato at the grocery store is more likely to notice apples, strawberries and other red fruits as well.   view more (2007-07-19)

Earthworm activity can alter forests' carbon-carrying capabilities
Earthworms can change the chemical nature of the carbon in North American forest litter and soils, potentially affecting the amount of carbon stored in forests, according to Purdue University researchers.   view more (2008-10-28)

Resilient form of plant carbon gives new meaning to term 'older than dirt'
A particularly resilient type of carbon from the first plants to regrow after the last ice age - and that same type of carbon from all the plants since - appears to have been accumulating for 11,000 years in the forests of British Columbia, Canada.   view more (2006-11-27)

Pollution puts fat rats at heart attack risk
Obese individuals at risk of diabetes are in danger of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks, when exposed to pollution from diesel exhaust or power plant emissions.   view more (2006-01-31)

Education Being Compromised By Economic Fallacy
A mistaken belief that more educational spending automatically leads to greater economic success is damaging our children`s education, says Professor Alison Wolf of London University`s Institute of Education. In an attempt to fine-tune education spending to maximise the rate of growth, the... view more (2002-05-28)

Study finds significant independent association between air pollution and cardiovascular risk
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) today published the findings of a study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine Researchers and funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).   view more (2005-12-22)

The Lightness of Electrons in a Twisting Metal Crystal
A team of researchers at Princeton University's Materials Research Science and Engineering Center has observed electrons moving through a crystal of bismuth metal behaving like light.   view more (2008-07-28)

Negativity is contagious, study finds
Though we may not care to admit it, what other people think about something can affect what we think about it. This is how critics become influential and why our parents' opinions about our life choices continue to matter, long after we've moved out.   view more (2007-10-05)

UBC study may solve age-old mystery of missing chemicals from Earth's mantle
Observations about the early formation of Earth may answer an age-old question about why the planet's mantle is missing some of the matter that should be present, according to UBC geophysicist John Hernlund.   view more (2007-12-06)

Biggest 'small' black hole discovered
Discovery of the largest example of a "small" black hole - one formed from the collapse of a single massive star at the end of its lifetime - has led scientists to revaluate of how black holes come into being, according to a report in Nature.   view more (2007-10-22)

Largest, brightest supernova ever seen may be long-sought pair-instability supernova
An exploding star first observed last September is the largest and most luminous supernova ever seen, according to University of California, Berkeley, astronomers, and may be the first example of a type of massive exploding star rare today but probably common in the very early universe.   view more (2007-05-08)

Neutron stars warp space-time, U-M astronomers observe
Einstein's predicted distortion of space-time occurs around neutron stars, University of Michigan astronomers and others have observed.   view more (2007-08-29)

Rocks could be harnessed to sponge vast amounts of CO2 from air, says study
Scientists say that a type of rock found at or near the surface in the Mideast nation of Oman and other areas around the world could be harnessed to soak up huge quantities of globe-warming carbon dioxide.   view more (2008-11-06)

MS that Runs in Families Appears More Severe than Non-Familial MS
Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of a large group of patients with multiple sclerosis has provided the first evidence that those with a history of MS in their families show more severe brain damage than patients who have no close relatives with the disease.   view more (2007-10-12)

Compact galaxies in early Universe pack a big punch
Using the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer onboard of the Hubble NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have made observations of young, surprisingly compact galaxies, each only 5,000 light-years across, but weighing 200 billion times the mass of the Sun.   view more (2008-04-30)
