Link between ozone air pollution and premature death confirmed
Short-term exposure to current levels of ozone in many areas is likely to contribute to premature deaths, says a new National Research Council report, which adds that the evidence is strong enough that the US Environmental Protection Agency should include ozone-related mortality in health-benefit... view more (2008-04-23)

Quasar light variability linked to black hole mass
Quasars are some of the most luminous and distant objects in the universe - and appear to have something in common with ordinary light bulbs.   view more (2007-01-09)

Key molecule discovered in Venus's atmosphere
Venus Express has detected the molecule hydroxyl on another planet for the first time. This detection gives scientists an important new tool to unlock the workings of Venus's dense atmosphere.   view more (2008-05-16)

By ice floe to the North Pole
At the end of August, an unusual expedition under Russian leadership will leave for the Arctic Ocean. One of the participants is Jürgen Graeser of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, one of the research centres of the Helmholtz Association.   view more (2007-07-23)

Low levels of contamination also influence mortality rate
Navarre doctor Rosa Mar'­a Al'¡s Brun has shown, in her PhD thesis defended at the Public University of Navarre, that, despite contamination rates in Pamplona being very low, these still have an influence on death rates.   view more (2004-08-20)

NASA airborne expedition chases climate, ozone questions
NASA's Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling (TC4) field campaign will begin this summer in San Jose, Costa Rica, with an investigation into how chemical compounds in the air are transported vertically into the stratosphere and how that transport affects cloud formation and climate.   view more (2007-06-28)

Brain compensatory mechanisms enhance the recovery from spinal cord injury
A research team led by Tadashi Isa, a professor at the Japanese National Institute for Physiological Sciences, NIPS (SEIRIKEN), and Dr. Yukio Nishimura (University of Washington, Seattle), have found that brain compensatory mechanisms contribute to recovery from spinal cord injury.   view more (2007-11-16)

Can you hear me now? Stem cells enhance hearing recovery
Researchers have shown that bone marrow stem cells injected into a damaged inner ear can speed hearing recovery after partial hearing loss.   view more (2007-06-25)

Adding medication improves recovery for elderly with depression, says Pitt School of Medicine study
Adding a medication to a standard treatment regimen for major depressive disorder in the elderly improves chances of recovery in those who do not adequately respond to the first-course therapy or who relapse from it.   view more (2007-06-01)

Catalytic converter gets the pollution out of diesel engines
In the near future the usual summer ozone peaks exceeding the allowed threshold may be a thing of the past: the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland has developed a new type of catalytic conversion system, which filters nearly all nitrogen oxides out of diesel exhaust gases using a refined... view more (2004-09-08)

Doubts about False Memory Syndrome
These were the findings of a study published today, Tuesday 14 March, in the British Journal of Clinical Psychology by psychologist Dr Bernice Andrews, of Royal Holloway, University of London, and her colleagues.   view more (2000-03-16)

Massive Black Hole Smashes Record
Using two NASA satellites, astronomers have discovered the heftiest known black hole to orbit a star. The new black hole, with a mass 24 to 33 times that of our Sun, is more massive than scientists expected for a black hole that formed from a dying star.   view more (2007-10-31)

TAU Scientists Help Discover the Most Massive Stellar Black Hole Ever Found
An international team, including astronomers from Tel Aviv University, has uncovered the most massive stellar black hole found to date in a binary system.   view more (2007-11-09)

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)

New clues to ozone depletion
Laerge quantities of ozone-depleting chemicals have been discovered in the Antarctic atmosphere by researchers from the University of Leeds, the University of East Anglia, and the British Antarctic Survey.   view more (2007-07-27)

MIT: Spinning black hole leaves dent in space-time
MIT scientists and colleagues have found a black hole that has chiseled a remarkably stable indentation in the fabric of space and time, like a dimple in one's favorite spot on the sofa.   view more (2006-01-11)

Music of the black holes: they all play the same tune
Astronomers at the University of Southampton have uncovered a remarkable connection between the monstrous black holes residing at the hearts of distant galaxies and their comparatively tiny cousins which inhabit star systems in our own Milky Way: they are playing the same tunes. Dr Phil Uttley... view more (2002-04-04)

Milky Way's Giant Black Hole Awoke from Slumber 300 Years Ago
Using NASA, Japanese, and European X-ray satellites, a team of Japanese astronomers has discovered that our galaxy's central black hole let loose a powerful flare three centuries ago.   view more (2008-04-16)

New study of hand-brain function offers insight into recovery for stroke survivors
A Queen's study of stroke survivors gives new insight into the stages of recovery of hand muscle control after a stroke, suggesting that patients may benefit from different treatment strategies at different times during the recovery process.   view more (2006-05-17)

New laboratory to study the oceans and air
Almost two-thirds of the planet is ocean and this has a major impact on our lives. Now the University of East Anglia (UEA) will be home to the world's first facility dedicated to the study of chemical ocean-air interactions which are important in regulating Earth's climate. Examples include ocean... view more (2003-11-21)

Sea salt worsens coastal air pollution: study
Air pollution in the world's busiest ports and shipping regions may be markedly worse than previously suspected, according to a new study showing that industrial and shipping pollution is exacerbated when it combines with sunshine and salty sea air.   view more (2008-04-09)

Air pollution from ships - a serious threat
Emissions from ships may bring as much nitrogen oxide to the atmosphere as the total amount of emissions coming from the USA. International shipping along the Norwegian coast and in the Northern Atlantic Ocean contributes largely to the formation of ground-level ozone and acidification of the... view more (2004-03-30)

Astronomers detect matter torn apart by black hole
Astronomers have used two different telescopes simultaneously to study the violent flares from the supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way. They have detected outbursts from this region, known as Sagittarius A*, which reveal material being stretched out as it orbits in the intense... view more (2008-11-19)

Chandra discovers light echo from the Milky Way's Black Hole
Like cold case investigators, astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to uncover evidence of a powerful outburst from the giant black hole at the Milky Way's center.   view more (2007-01-11)
