Science and society in Europe - How to bridge the gaps?
The European Commission published today its latest Eurobarometer survey on "Europeans, science and technology". This comes just two days after the adoption of an action plan "Science and Society" which addresses some of the issues identified by the survey. Both the Eurobarometer results... view more (2001-12-06)

New "Gating" Device Improves Imaging of Heart and Lungs
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the heart and lungs is a valuable diagnostic tool in the medical industry, but the detailed images it produces are often marred by artefacts (unwanted signals) created by the motion of cardiac and respiratory cycles. A team of inventors at Oxford University has... view more (2003-09-05)

Cars will become personalised communication devices - EU project DAIDALOS
When Bart Watson leaves home to go on a business trip, his personal communication services will accompany him. The e-mails he studied on his PC at home will also be available on the terminal in his car, where they are read to him by his handheld device while he drives. This seamless handover from... view more (2004-12-08)

Communication satellites telling us where they are

Flies in a spider's web: Galaxy caught in the making
In nature spiders earn our respect by constructing fascinating, well-organised webs in all shapes and sizes. But the beauty masks a cruel, fatal trap. Analogously, the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has found a large galaxy 10.6 billion light-years away from Earth (at a redshift of 2.2) that is... view more (2006-10-12)

Children and their Body Image
The development of a Children's Body Image Scale (CBIS) may help in the early identification of dissatisfaction with body size in pre-pubescent children. These research findings are published today, 21st June 2002, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology by Dr Helen Truby, School of... view more (2002-06-10)

Singing in the rainforest: Public vs. private signaling by a tropical rainforest bird
According to the Chinese proverb, a bird sings because it has a song, not because it has an answer. A team of French and Brazilian researchers, however, may have the answer as to how the song of Brazilian white-browed warbler has become so well-adapted to the acoustic properties of the rainforest... view more (2008-02-13)

Elastic interactions of membrane proteins
Cellular survival relies crucially on the ability to receive and communicate signals from and to the outside world. A major part of this regulation and communication is performed by proteins within the membrane of a cell.   view more (2007-05-04)

New light microscope may help unlock some of cells' secrets
A microscopy technique pioneered with the help of Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory has led to the development of a new light microscope capable of looking at proteins on a molecular level.   view more (2006-08-17)

Scientists must improve communication tactics, Science article proclaims
Seed Washington Correspondent Chris Mooney and American University professor and ScienceBlogs contributor Dr. Matthew Nisbet are co-authors of a provocative new article in Science entitled "Framing Science."
