Using a catapult for rapid limb protraction
Alan Wilson, Johanna Watson and Glen Lichtwark have had their paper published by Nature. This paper shows that fast runners must be able to protract their limbs quickly in order to prepare for the next stance phase, which is particularly challenging for large animals as their limbs are long and their muscles contract slowly and have a low power... view more...

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Can Identify Effectiveness of Chemotherapy Early in High-Risk Breast Cancer Patients
The effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with advanced breast cancer can be evaluated earlier by using 18F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging over other conventional imaging procedures, according to an article in the July issue of the Society of Nuclear Medicine's Journal of Nuclear Medicine. view more (2005-07-27)
Cars and power
Cars promise autonomy as well as mobility for the 70 per cent of households in the UK which have access to one. This is the conclusion of psychologist Dr Steve Stradling from Napier University Transport Research Institute who presented his findings today, Friday 24 November, at The British Psychological Society Scottish Branch annual conference... view more...

Carnegie Mellon professors question advice for nuclear attacks
In the current Fox television adventure series, "24," a terrorist explodes a small nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. In the May 2007 issue of the journal Health Physics, Carnegie Mellon researchers Keith Florig and Baruch Fischhoff offer simple, practical advice that ordinary citizens can use when faced by such threats. view more (2007-04-11)
Nuclear physicists examine oxygen's limits
Physicists at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) at Michigan State University have made a unique measurement of an exotic oxygen nucleus, leading scientists one step closer to deciphering the behavior of the element at its limits of existence. view more (2007-09-14)
Researchers distinguish waves from mine collapses from other seismic activities
Researchers have devised a technology that can distinguish mine collapses from other seismic activity. view more (2008-07-11)
INL-led team achieves nuclear fuel performance milestone
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, in partnership with three other science and engineering powerhouses, reached a major domestic milestone relating to nuclear fuel performance on March 8. view more (2008-03-11)
Reducing risks - the challenge for engineering
Government Chief Scientific Adviser Professor David King will next week challenge the UK's engineers to create a sustainable economy and respond to environmental problems when he gives the ExxonMobil lecture to the Royal Academy of Engineering in London on Monday 2 December 2002. "Sustaining the economy is a central role for engineers,"... view more... (2002-11-29)
25 Seconds for Bucharest
The value of EWS for hazards with long warning times such as tsunamis, volcanic activities, tornadoes is undisputed. In case of earthquakes, warning times are fairly small, ranging from seconds to a maximum of about one minute for Mexico City. However, even a small time window can provide opportunities to automatically trigger measures such as... view more... (1998-11-11)
Gene therapy protects mice from the effects of whole-body irradiation
University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researchers have successfully protected mice against the damaging effects that radiation can have on bone marrow using gene therapy. view more (2006-06-05)
Gold nanoparticles prove to be hot stuff
Gold nanoparticles are highly efficient and sensitive "handles" for biological molecules being manipulated and tracked by lasers, but they also can heat up fast-by tens of degrees in just a few nanoseconds-which could either damage the molecules or help study them. view more (2006-09-01)
Endocrine Society calls for expanded scope and funding for stem cell research
Stem cell research holds great promise for the treatment of millions of Americans with debilitating and possibly fatal diseases. view more (2009-10-28)
Further commitment to sustainable power generation
A further £10M for research into renewable energy technologies Following the Government's "Energy Review" a further £10M is being put into research into renewable energy technology. The kind of work being invested in will include: Power distribution networks - ensuring a high quality, reliable supply of electricity. Marine... view more... (2002-05-31)
First semiconductor-based PET scanner demonstrates potential to aid in early diagnosis of disease
Evaluations of the first-ever prototype positron emission tomography (PET) brain scanner that uses semiconductor detectors indicate that the scanner could advance the quality and spatial resolution of PET imaging, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting. view more (2008-06-17)
Nuclear fusion research key to advancing computer chips
Researchers are adapting the same methods used in fusion-energy research to create extremely thin plasma beams for a new class of "nanolithography" required to make future computer chips. view more (2009-08-19)
University study shows low radiological risk to the public around atomic sites
A study team led by experts at the University of Southampton has found that there is no significant risk to the public from radioactive contamination from the Atomic Weapons Establishments at Aldermaston and Burghfield in West Berkshire. The three-year environmental radioactivity project, carried out by the University's Geosciences Advisory Unit... view more... (2002-08-07)
Research overturns accepted notion of neutron's electrical properties
For two generations of physicists, it has been a standard belief that the neutron, an electrically neutral elementary particle and a primary component of an atom, actually carries a positive charge at its center and an offsetting negative charge at its outer edge. view more (2007-09-18)
Ethnic discrimination not only based on prejudice
Our belief in power hierarchies is important in how we view and treat people. This is shown in a dissertation by Alexandra Snellman from Uppsala University that examines how racist and sexist prejudice creates social hierarchies and ethnic discrimination in various situations. view more (2007-12-05)
University of Nevada professor demonstrates new hydrogen fuel system
Northern Nevada energy consumers can be excused if they have a sense of "sticker shock" when their power bills come due following the holiday season. Or, that they have a feeling of powerlessness as the price of gasoline climbs to $3 per gallon. view more (2007-02-23)
Most powerful laser in the world fires up
The Texas Petawatt laser reached greater than one petawatt of laser power on Monday morning, March 31, making it the highest powered laser in the world, Todd Ditmire, a physicist at The University of Texas at Austin, said. view more (2008-04-08)
