Sounds of northern lights are born close to ground
For the first time, researchers at Aalto University in Finland have located where the sounds associated with the northern lights are created. View More (2012-07-10)
ALIS a multi-eyed voyeur in a plasma universe
The Northern Lights are a visible result of physical processes in inner space. By studying the optical signal from the Northern Lights and similar phenomena, we can gain new knowledge about the physics behind them. In the long run such pure research may be of great importance for applications in our future supply of energy and for future space travel. A dissertation at Ume'å University,...

Almost a third of road users fail to notice approach of emergency ambulances
Almost a third of road users fail to notice the approach of emergency ambulances, despite sirens and flashing lights, reveals a survey in Emergency Medicine Journal. But among those who do, the encounter is often stressful, and in a significant minority of cases, potentially hazardous. The findings are based on a survey of 200 road users aged between 21 and 65, in north Staffordshire, northern... View More (2003-05-13)
New Cassini images show Northern Lights of Saturn
New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth's Northern Lights. View More (2005-08-08)
6.8 million birds die each year at communication towers
More than 6 million birds die every year as they migrate from the United States and Canada to Central and South America, according to a new study published Apr. 25 in the open access journal PLoS ONE. View More (2012-04-26)
Cluster encounters a natural particle accelerator
ESA's Cluster satellites have flown through a natural particle accelerator just above Earth's atmosphere. View More (2011-02-02)
Northern lights research enters final frontier
An international team of scientists — including physicists from the University of Calgary — will begin gathering the most detailed information yet about the ever-changing northern lights, as a multi-year research project enters its ultimate phase with the launch of five NASA satellites from Cape Canaveral next month.

Ulster cannot afford to fall behind in science
SBS today expressed surprise and disappointment that the Northern Ireland Executive has not allocated any extra resources for university research in its draft budget. View More (2002-09-26)
'Meating' a solution: Research finds that LED lights extend meat shelf life, save retailers money
A switch to LED lights in refrigeration units could save the retail meat industry millions of dollars each year, according to research from Kansas State University. View More (2012-01-18)
Science Matters in Northern Ireland
SBS today welcomed the opening of the new Centre for Molecular Biosciences at the University of Ulster, but highlighted the general lack of government investment in science in Northern Ireland. In a talk to scientists in Northern Ireland, Dr Peter Cotgreave, Director of SBS, pointed out that overall government investment in the science base is just £24 per head per year in Northern Ireland,...

Highways Agency congratulated for environmentally friendly lighting
Lighting that shines in a controlled manner rather than skywards, has resulted in the Highways Agency being congratulated by the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee recently. The Committee praised the Agency for forward thinking, and believes the high pressure sodium lanterns are a step in the right direction to reducing light pollution. The Agency lights approximately 30% of its... View More (2003-12-01)

UI's Scudder makes first observations of process linked to northern lights
A University of Iowa researcher wants you to visualize a plate of spaghetti when you think of the northern lights. View More (2012-06-04)
VIDEO IMAGES COULD HELP SPEED UP CITY TRAFFIC
Current methods of traffic control are normally based on inductive loops placed in the road on approaches to traffic lights, to sense the presence of approaching vehicles. Inductive loops are expensive to install and are prone to damage, while also giving limited information about traffic conditions. View More (1999-09-14)
Fear of crime in Northern Ireland is not irrational
Fear of crime in Northern Ireland is a rational perception and not based just on irrational emotion. This contrasts with the view that fear of crime is a separate issue from the reality of being a victim of crime. The inadequacy of the method for investigating fear of crime has been responsible for misleading the public. View More (1999-03-26)
Movement of Earth's North Magnetic Pole Accelerating Rapidly
After some 400 years of relative stability, Earth's North Magnetic Pole has moved nearly 1,100 kilometers out into the Arctic Ocean during the last century and at its present rate could move from northern Canada to Siberia within the next half-century. View More (2005-12-12)
NIST releases new standard for semiconductor industry
A wide range of optical electronic devices, from laser disk players to traffic lights, may be improved in the future thanks to a small piece of semiconductor, about the size of a button, coated with aluminum, gallium, and arsenic (AlGaAs). View More (2006-10-13)
Scientists solve 30-year-old aurora borealis mystery
UCLA space scientists and colleagues have identified the mechanism that triggers substorms in space; wreaks havoc on satellites, power grids and communications systems; and leads to the explosive release of energy that causes the spectacular brightening of the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights.
