Quantum chaos unveiled?
A University of Utah study is shedding light on an important, unsolved physics problem: the relationship between chaos theory - which is based on 300-year-old Newtonian physics - and the modern theory of quantum mechanics.   view more (2008-08-07)

German fusion device becomes European research tool
The ASDEX Upgrade research device, operated by Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik (IPP) in Garching, near Munich, as Germany's largest fusion device, is being opened to use by fusion laboratories from all over Europe. The appointment of Dr. Duarte Borba from Portugal's Instituto Superior... view more (2002-12-02)

Bacteria ferry nanoparticles into cells for early diagnosis, treatment
Researchers at Purdue University have shown that common bacteria can deliver a valuable cargo of "smart nanoparticles" into a cell to precisely position sensors, drugs or DNA for the early diagnosis and treatment of various diseases.   view more (2007-06-14)

Dancing around the Black Hole
ISAAC Finds "Cool" Young Stellar Systems at the Centres of Active Galaxies Supermassive Black Holes are present at the centres of many galaxies, some weighing hundreds of millions times more than the Sun. These extremely dense objects cannot be observed directly, but violently moving gas clouds and... view more (2001-08-14)

Measurements may help show if constants are changing
Physicists at JILA have performed the first-ever precision measurements using ultracold molecules, in work that may help solve a long-standing scientific mystery-whether so-called constants of nature have changed since the dawn of the universe.   view more (2006-05-01)

Can you get cancer from flying?
Air personnel may be exposed to a higher dose of radiation than earlier calculated, and the risk for cancer may be underestimated. This conclusion is presented by research student Somsak Dangtip in his PhD thesis at Uppsala University, Sweden. His findings are based on new evidence from experiments... view more (2000-09-18)

Researchers sequence the basal eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila
In an effort to improve our understanding of eukaryotic evolution, a team of over 50 researchers led by Jonathan Eisen sequenced the macronuclear genome of the single-celled ciliate Tetrahymena themophila.   view more (2006-08-29)

Novel regulation of the common tumor suppressor PTEN
PTEN is one of the most commonly mutated tumor suppressor genes. It is an antagonist for many cellular growth, proliferation and survival processes. When mutated or deleted, it causes cancers of the prostate, breast, colon, and brain.   view more (2007-01-12)

Astronomers discover dozens of mini-galaxies
A new survey made with the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT) has revealed dozens of previously unsuspected miniature galaxies in the nearby Fornax galaxy cluster. They belong to a class of galaxies dubbed "ultra-compact dwarfs" (UCDs), which was unknown before the same team of astronomers... view more (2004-03-25)

UVES Investigates the Environment of a Very Remote Galaxy
Surplus of Intergalactic Material May Be Young Supercluster   view more (2002-03-11)

Integral identifies supernova rate for Milky Way
Using ESA's Integral observatory, an international team of researchers has been able to confirm the production of radioactive aluminium (Al 26) in massive stars and supernovae throughout our galaxy and determine the rate of supernovae-one of its key parameters.   view more (2006-01-09)

The next step in quantum computing
A team of physicists in the United States has made an important step towards making quantum computing a reality. Research into a new type of noiseless quantum information bit, or qubit, is published today in the joint Institute of Physics and German Physical Society journal, New Journal of Physics.   view more (2002-02-12)

CERN launches new cancer therapy initiative
The first meeting of a new European network for research in cancer therapy will be held at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, on 12 and 13 February 2002. ENLIGHT* - the European Network for Research in Light Ion Therapy - aims to coordinate the development of a variety of... view more (2002-02-08)

'NMR on a chip' features NIST magnetic mini-sensor
A super-sensitive mini-sensor developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) can detect nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in tiny samples of fluids flowing through a novel microchip.   view more (2008-02-20)

Researchers detect low-energy neutrinos, probe energy production in sun's center
