Neutron stars can be more massive, while black holes are more rare, Arecibo Observatory finds
Neutron stars and black holes aren't all they've been thought to be. In fact, neutron stars can be considerably more massive than previously believed, and it is more difficult to form black holes, according to new research developed by using the Arecibo Observatory in Arecibo, Puerto Rico. view more (2008-01-15)
New weapons needed for the war on junk email
Today's spam filters are highly effective, but they may be no match for spammers seeking new ways to fool people into visiting commercial websites or downloading rogue software carrying viruses, worms, spyware, or other dangerous applications. view more (2006-04-28)
XMM-Newton digs into the secrets of fossil galaxy clusters
Taking advantage of the high sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton and the sharp vision of NASA's Chandra X-Ray space observatories, astronomers have studied the behaviour of massive fossil galaxy clusters, trying to find out how they find the time to form- view more (2006-05-01)
Bringing space down to Earth to explain how stars form
In a laboratory in Nottingham, scientists are now creating the uniquely harsh conditions encountered in interstellar space. In an environment where the pressure is only one ten billion billionth (one part in 10 to the power 13) of atmospheric pressure, and the temperature a mere 10 degrees above absolute zero, Dr Martin McCoustra and his... view more...

A Curious Pair of Galaxies
The ESO Very Large Telescope has taken the best image ever of a strange and chaotic duo of interwoven galaxies. The images also contain some surprises - interlopers both far and near. view more (2009-03-17)
MINOS detector ready to take first data
Today, (August 14th), sees the start of data collection on the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) detector, situated in the Soudan iron mine, Minnesota, USA. UK particle physicists, working within an international collaboration, will use the MINOS detector to investigate the phenomenon of neutrino mass - a puzzle that goes to the... view more...

Opening Atlantic Leaves Scots Isle Platinum Rich
The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are contained in mineral grains from the Rum Layered Intrusion, which represents the eroded roots of a once large volcano. They were formed deep in the crust as a plume of molten rock pushed up from deep within the Earth, causing huge volcanic eruptions, as well as hastening the break-up of North America from... view more...

Herbarium database provides global access for researchers
Already renowned as a leading centre for plant science research, the University of Reading's Herbarium is now a world resource for botanists after the launch of a new internet website featuring an ever-expanding database of specimens. The Herbarium, which was founded in 1900, contains 264,500 plant specimens from around the world, with a... view more... (2004-02-23)
15% INJURIES FATAL FROM CLEARANCE OF ANTIPERSONNEL MINES
A research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET describes the burden of injury and mortality resulting from the clearance of antipersonnel mines from seven war zones over the past decade. Thousands of people are involved with the clearance of antipersonnel mines and unexploded ordnance in countries recovering from war-a process which usually... view more... (2001-12-12)
Northwest Atlantic Ocean ecosystems experiencing large climate-related changes
Ecosystems along the continental shelf waters of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean—from the Labrador Sea south of Greenland all the way to North Carolina—are experiencing large, rapid changes, report oceanographers funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the Feb. 23, 2007, issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-02-26)
The long and the short of it: Expanding small RNA biology in mammals

HETE-2 satellite solves mystery of cosmic explosions
An international team of scientists using three NASA satellites and a host of ground-based telescopes believes it has solved the greatest remaining mystery of the mysterious gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the most powerful explosions in the universe. view more (2005-10-06)
Key to snoring and sleep disordered breathing may lie in neck muscle bulk
The reason why men tend to snore more and suffer more sleep disordered breathing (apnoea) than women, may lie in their neck muscles, finds research in Thorax. view more (1999-03-19)
ESA satellite imagery credited with breakthrough in earthquake research
California scientists credit synthetic aperture radar imagery from the European Space Agency with making possible new ways to depict earthquake fault zones and uncovering unusual earthquake-related deformations. Their study of imagery from a 1999 earthquake in the western US could provide a new way to identify active faults and help track when the... view more... (2002-09-19)

Ice has a starring role - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When even moderately hot stars like our Sun have surface temperatures of around 6,000°C, it is hard to imagine that ice plays an important part in their formation. But that`s exactly what astrophysicists have recently discovered by turning to surface scientists for help. At the Condensed Matter conference on Monday 8 April, part of the... view more...
