Fuel cells, a neglected clean source of energy
In a situation where the UK is crying out for reliable sources of energy that do not threaten the environment, one option, the hydrogen fuel cell has been relatively neglected through insufficient support from industry and government. view more (2006-07-24)
Scientists clone mice from adult skin stem cells
For cells that hold so much promise, stem cells' potential has so far gone largely untapped. But new research from Rockefeller University and Howard Hughes Medical Institute scientists now shows that adult stem cells taken from skin can be used to clone mice using a procedure called nuclear transfer. view more (2007-02-13)
Novel biomarker for prediction of survival in colorectal carcinomas revealed
Levels of a protein called thymidylate synthase (TS) within two separate compartments of a tumor cell-the nucleus and the cytoplasm-may be critical markers predicting survival in colorectal cancer, according to a study at Yale University School of Medicine. view more (2006-09-14)
Having less power impairs the mind and ability to get ahead, study shows
New research appearing in the May issue of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, suggests that being put in a low-power role may impair a person's basic cognitive functioning and thus, their ability to get ahead. view more (2008-05-16)
Beta carotene slows decline in lung power associated with ageing
Beta carotene, a precursor to vitamin A, slows the decline in lung power associated with ageing, reveals research in Thorax. view more (2006-03-23)
MSU researcher nabs 'doubly magic' tin isotope
With help from newly developed equipment designed and built at Michigan State University, MSU researchers have been able to make first-of-its-kind measurements of several rare nuclei, one of which has been termed a "holy grail" of experimental nuclear physics. view more (2008-12-12)
Turning a nuclear spotlight on illegal weapons material
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have demonstrated that they can cheaply, quickly and accurately identify even subnanogram amounts of weapon-grade plutonium and uranium. view more (2006-10-30)
First direct mechanical communication of mitochondria, cardiomyocyte nucleus shown
In a paper being presented in two American Physiological Society sessions at Experimental Biology 2006, a joint Estonian-French team demonstrated "for the first time that mitochondria are able to induce nuclear deformation, suggesting that mitochondria may mechanically regulate nuclear function." view more (2006-04-03)
Heat therapy for cancer may be key to 'Lance Armstrong Effect'
Experts at Johns Hopkins have linked scientific evidence spanning more than 30 years to suggest an explanation for why testicular cancer patients like seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong survive far better than patients with other advanced cancers. view more (2006-07-26)
New Faraday Partnership in Radio Frequency Engineering
Science Minister Lord Sainsbury has announced the funding of a new Faraday Partnership in the important field of High Power Radio Frequency (RF) engineering. With expertise in many areas of RF engineering applications (particularly in accelerator technologies), CLRC (Central Laboratory of the Research Councils), through its Rutherford Appleton... view more...

Power emerges from consensus in monkey social networks
Research on communication typically focuses on how individuals use signals to influence the behavior of receivers, thus primarily focusing on pairs of individuals. view more (2006-09-05)
Smartphone app illuminates power consumption
A new application for the Android smartphone shows users and software developers how much power their applications are consuming. PowerTutor was developed by doctoral students and professors at the University of Michigan. view more (2009-11-23)
Maintaining aerobic fitness could delay biological aging by up to 12 years
Maintaining aerobic fitness through middle age and beyond can delay biological ageing by up to 12 years and prolong independence during old age, concludes an analysis published ahead of print in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2008-04-10)
HEALTH PROMOTION IS OVERLOOKING HOMELESS PEOPLE
Little attention has been paid to the health promotion needs of homeless people and yet they are more likely than others to seek medical attention once they have a disease rather than at a preventative stage, say Dr Robert Power and colleagues from a multitude of medical institutions and associations advocating action for homeless people, in this... view more...

New test could aid children suffering from reflux disease
A nuclear medicine imaging test was used to confirm that children with respiratory problems may be more likely to develop gastroesophageal reflux disease, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting. view more (2008-06-17)
Patients may want to skip that cup of coffee before undergoing PET/CT scans
Patients who need a positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) procedure to evaluate known or suspected malignancies should lay off the java, according to research by Medhat M. Osman, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor in the department of internal medicine's division of nuclear medicine and director of PET at Saint Louis University... view more... (2005-06-21)
Physics World Digest: July 2002 edition
Oil firm exploits X-Files science It sounds like a cross between the Archers, Dallas and The X-Files -- a company that claims it can find oil by searching for unknown particles called "microleptons" could soon start drilling in the heart of the English countryside. Technology Investment and Exploration Limited (TIEL) has been awarded an... view more... (2002-07-01)
Is global warming unstoppable?
In a provocative new study, a University of Utah scientist argues that rising carbon dioxide emissions - the major cause of global warming - cannot be stabilized unless the world's economy collapses or society builds the equivalent of one new nuclear power plant each day. view more (2009-11-23)
Flighty yet mighty
Those heading to the moors on August 12 may not be aware they are pitting their guns against the most powerful muscles on the planet. Leeds researcher Dr Graham Askew has calculated the muscle power generated by game birds such as quail, pheasant and grouse when taking flight, and found it to be the highest measured in any animal. Game birds... view more... (2003-08-11)
A filter that enhances the power of communications satellites
Researchers at the Public University of Navarre are designing and developing a filter that enhances the power of communications satellites for the European Space Agency. The filter enables the reduction, by a factor of a million, interference produced by what is known as the "Field Emission Effect". view more (2005-02-03)
