Flavanol-rich cocoa improves blood vessel function in aging baby boomer study participants
Flavanol-rich cocoa could offer powerful cardiovascular benefits for the nearly 78 million baby boomers in the United States today, suggests a new study published in the August issue of the Journal of Hypertension.   view more (2006-08-02)

Researchers explore medicine in the final frontier
On Mars, Earth probably looks like a pinprick in the sky, a bluish-green ball some 140 million miles away. But before astronauts can glimpse the view from the red planet, doctors must better understand how to handle medical problems and surgeries in space, University of Florida researchers say.   view more (2006-11-06)

From the surface of Mars to the skin on your body: UK science goes public
The 24 exhibits cover an extraordinary range of up-to-the-minute research. A model of the Beagle 2 robot lander - that will range over the Martian surface - is on show, as is a 3-D tour of an astronomical observatory in Hawaii. There is a novel look deep inside turbulent industrial processes; a... view more (1999-06-04)

Evolving designer ecosystem sheds light on unintended consequences
Amidst the semi-arid stretches of Phoenix, a visitor might blink twice at the sight of a sailboat cutting across the horizon. Tempe Town Lake, on the northern edge of Arizona State University (ASU), is just one of a multitude of lakes, small ponds, canals and dams combining flood control, water... view more (2008-09-04)

One giant leap for space fashion: MIT team designs sleek, skintight spacesuit
In the 40 years that humans have been traveling into space, the suits they wear have changed very little. The bulky, gas-pressurized outfits give astronauts a bubble of protection, but their significant mass and the pressure itself severely limit mobility.   view more (2007-07-17)
