A virtual atlas of breast histopathology: An application of web based virtual microscopy
Researchers at the universities of Helsinki and Tampere (Finland) have developed a new virtual microscopy system, which allows users digitize entire microscope glass slide specimens, and then create a virtual slide with the quality and resolution similar to the original glass slide viewed on a... view more (2004-11-26)

Puncture needles off the roll
Doctors performing minimally invasive surgery can observe their work through magnetic resonance imaging. But metal instruments can cause interference. Fiber-reinforced plastics - such as a multifunction needle manufactured on a continuous roll - offer a viable alternative.   view more (2004-11-09)

Problems of deaf children
Professor Terezinha Nunes and Dr Ursula Pretzlik of the Institute of Education, London, interviewed parents of deaf children. They found that the birth of a deaf child to hearing parents provokes a crisis in communication. This is discussed in the context of the development of communication at home... view more (1999-08-23)

How to differentiate macro-regenerative nodules from hepato-carcinoma?
BA, the congenital absence or destruction of intra- or extra-hepatic biliary system, affects about 5 - 10/100 000 live births. End stage liver cirrhosis developed in some BA patients later in life.   view more (2008-10-13)

Squid Skin Reveals Hidden Messages
In the animal world, squid are masters of disguise. Pigmented skin cells enable them to camouflage themselves-almost instantaneously-from predators.   view more (2006-09-22)

Possible Origin of Cosmic Rays Revealed with Gamma Rays
An international team of astronomers (including the UK) has produced the first ever image of an astronomical object using high energy gamma rays, helping to solve a 100 year old mystery - an origin of cosmic rays. Their research, published in the Journal Nature on November 4th, was carried out... view more (2004-11-02)

Stellar forensics with striking new image from Chandra
A spectacular new image shows how complex a star's afterlife can be. By studying the details of this image made from a long observation by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers can better understand how some stars die and disperse elements like oxygen into the next generation of stars and... view more (2007-10-24)

A breakthrough in contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography
The present brief clinical report showed that Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasonography (CE-IOUS) using a new microbubble agent, Sonazoid, can allow surgeons to investigate the whole liver with enough time and to find new metastases intraoperatively.   view more (2008-09-18)

Artemis assists emergency services to fight Portuguese fires
Fire fighters tackling the blazes that have ravaged Portugal are doing so with the aid of a satellite data-link. For the first time, ESA's satellite Artemis has been used to support an emergency request under the International Charter on "Space and Major Disasters". Portugal's civil... view more (2003-08-20)

Researchers studying how singing bats communicate
Bats are the most vocal mammals other than humans, and understanding how they communicate during their nocturnal outings could lead to better treatments for human speech disorders, say researchers at Texas A&M University.   view more (2007-10-19)

New developments in assessing fluid flows
Scientists at Oxford University are developing a new Doppler Global Velocimetry (DGV) technique that will enable three-dimensional fluid velocity fields to be imaged reliably and accurately. Over the last twenty years, a number of techniques have been explored to enable clear imaging of fluid... view more (2002-07-03)

Microwaves could bring concealed weapons to light
Microwaves could provide a safe new way of finding hidden weapons and buried mines, thanks to UK research. Scientists are developing a microwave-based technique that can generate high-quality images of hidden objects. The research may lead to the use of microwaves as a safer alternative to X-rays... view more (2004-03-02)

Mars Exploration And The Search For Life Is A Priority, Says UK Science Minister
The latest attempts to communicate with Beagle 2 via the Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank and the Mars Odyssey spacecraft have been unsuccessful.
