Connecting fuel-cells to the power grid
The travelling colossus weighs 20 tons and measures over seven meters in length. A few months ago, the core of the “PEM Oberhausen” power supply system completed its long journey from canadian Vancouver to the Ruhr region in Germany. On August 27, Ernst Schwanhold, the North Rhine-Westphalia minister for industry, small and... view more... (2002-09-20)
XMM-Newton reveals the origin of elements in galaxy clusters
Deep observations of two X-ray bright clusters of galaxies with ESA's XMM-Newton satellite allowed a group of international astronomers to measure their chemical composition with an unprecedented accuracy. view more (2006-05-11)
Flood-plagued York threatened by drying out
York's world-renowned archaeological remains are in danger - of drying out. The problem also threatens to cause roads to buckle, sewers collapse and subterranean gases leak into the air, unless a team from Leeds geography department can discover the effect of flood defences and new building in and around the city. York's flooding problem is well... view more... (2004-02-23)
Genes and groups of genes commonly shared between species, studies show
Two new studies by University of California, Berkeley, scientists highlight the amazing promiscuity of genes, which appear to shuttle frequently between organisms, especially more primitive organisms, and often in packs. view more (2007-03-12)
Virus named as possible factor in honey bee disorder

Study: Chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth better for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
A study published March 17, 2007 in The Lancet, one of the world's foremost medical journals, finds that the chances of surviving a cardiac arrest outside a hospital setting are almost twice as high if bystanders perform chest-compression-only resuscitation instead of traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) with mouth-to-mouth breathing. view more (2007-03-16)
New insight in star formation
Early stages of star formation are now better understood, following an extensive millimeter-wave study of protostars, which are young stellar objects still deeply embedded in their parent molecular cloud. Thanks to their unprecedented high-resolution maps of the circumstellar environment of many young stellar objects, astronomers... view more... (2001-01-16)
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)

Olympus Mons - the caldera in close-up
View from overhead of the the complex caldera (summit crater) at the summit of Olympus Mons on Mars, the highest volcano in our Solar System. Olympus Mons has an average elevation of 22 km and the caldera has a depth of about 3 km. This is the first high-resolution colour image of the complete caldera of Olympus Mons. The image was taken from a... view more... (2004-02-11)
