Gene Revolution Reaches The Poorest Farmers In India
It's the news they have all been waiting for. After years of living under the threat of another devastating epidemic of downy mildew, a disease similar to that which caused the Irish potato famine, India's poorest farmers have been offered a lifeline in the form of a new disease-resistant hybrid. The hybrid has been produced in record time using... view more... (2005-02-25)
Getting Power From Enemy`S Skull
The archaeologists at Komi Institute of Language, Literature and History worked at the burial-mound Shihovskoy - a cemetery with the square of 3000 square kilometer, aging back to the Iron Age. The archaeologists have excavated seven graves, they date three of them back to the first centuries A.D. These are not very big square pits, where people... view more... (2002-10-25)
Arctic climate under greenhouse conditions in the Late Cretaceous
New evidence for ice-free summers with intermittent winter sea ice in the Arctic Ocean during the Late Cretaceous - a period of greenhouse conditions - gives a glimpse of how the Arctic is likely to respond to future global warming. view more (2009-07-09)
Researchers discover new strategies for antibiotic resistance
With infections increasingly resistant to even the most modern antibiotics, researchers at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center (LA BioMed) report in the September issue of Nature Reviews Microbiology on new clues they have uncovered in immune system molecules that defend against infection. view more (2007-08-30)
German industry recognizes opportunities in vocational training
As a location for production facilities, Germany derives a significant portion of its competitive strength from the expertise of its production employees, a fact which apparently has not escaped corporate attention. A study conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe, indicates that 65 percent of... view more... (2002-01-31)
Cosmologists predict a static universe in 3 trillion years
When Dutch astronomer Willem de Sitter proposed a static model of the universe in the early 1900s, he was some 3 trillion years ahead of his time. view more (2007-05-24)
Magdalenian Girl is a woman and therefore has oldest recorded case of impacted wisdom teeth
The earliest recorded case of impacted wisdom teeth belongs to the renowned "Magdalenian Girl," a nearly complete 13,000- to 15,000-year-old skeleton excavated in France in 1911and acquired by The Field Museum in 1926. view more (2006-03-08)
Scientists Discover How Fish Evolved To Float At Different Sea Depths
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have discovered how fish have evolved over the last 400 million years to stay motionless at different water depths. view more (2005-03-18)
Stanford scientists make major breakthrough in regenerative medicine
Findings described in a new study by Stanford scientists may be the first step toward a major revolution in human regenerative medicine-a future where advanced organ damage can be repaired by the body itself. view more (2007-04-25)
Baby's helping hands
Human infants at 18 month of age helped spontaneously in several of the tasks. Also, chimpanzees displayed similar helping behaviours, although only in easier tasks. These new findings show that rudimentary forms of altruistic behaviours are present in our closest evolutionary relatives. view more (2006-03-03)
Looser family ties lead to fewer children
A trend for fewer children might be the outcome of wider social networks and looser family ties, Psychologists from the University of Exeter say in new research. view more (2004-08-23)
Study of ancient and modern plagues finds common features
In 430 B.C., a new and deadly disease-its cause remains a mystery-swept into Athens. The walled Greek city-state was teeming with citizens, soldiers and refugees of the war then raging between Athens and Sparta. view more (2008-11-24)
Numerical simulations of nutrient transport changes in Honghu Lake Basin
The research by Gui Feng & Yu Ge showed the relative role of natural, climate-induced changes versus human-related activities in nutrient transportation changed over time. view more (2008-08-20)
A First Glance at the Gene Networks of Human Aging
Boston, MA - July 29, 2004 - Scientists have rendered the first gene and protein networks of human aging, an important step in understanding the genetic mechanisms of aging. The work led by Joao Pedro de Magalhaes from Harvard Medical School is detailed in the July 30 issue of FEBS Letters. view more (2004-07-29)
Global warming doubles rate of ocean rise
Global ocean levels are rising twice as fast today as they were 150 years ago, and human-induced warming appears to be the culprit. view more (2005-11-28)
Fossil record reveals elusive jellyfish more than 500 million years old
Using recently discovered "fossil snapshots" found in rocks more than 500 million years old, three University of Kansas researchers have described the oldest definitive jellyfish ever found. view more (2007-10-31)
Variants in 3 genes account for most dog coat differences
Variants in just three genes acting in different combinations account for the wide range of coat textures seen in dogs - from the poodle's tight curls to the beagle's stick-straight fur. view more (2009-08-28)
Warming climate may cause arctic tundra to burn
Research from ancient sediment cores indicates that a warming climate could make the world's arctic tundra far more susceptible to fires than previously thought. view more (2008-03-05)
