NYU scientists begin second phase of project to better understand disease
A team of researchers at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics are embarking on the second phase of a collaborative research undertaking to predict structures of key proteins, which in turn shed light on their roles in diseases and offer pathways for cures.   view more (2006-06-28)

NIST discovers how strain at grain boundaries suppresses high-temperature superconductivity
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have discovered that a reduction in mechanical strain at the boundaries of crystal grains can significantly improve the performance of high-temperature superconductors (HTS).   view more (2009-06-18)

AstroGrid: Virtual Observatory Project launches new web site as electronic collaboration space for project and community
What is a Virtual Observatory ? Astronomers are already used to having the data measured by telescopes and space observatories available on-line. But much modern astronomy involves trying to use data from several different observatories - for example having found a distant luminous galaxy in an Infrared survey, to look for it in an X-ray database... view more...

SpaceGrid study ends on an optimistic note
Almost two years have gone by since ESA set up the SpaceGrid study to see how the emerging use of the electronic grid could increase and improve the use of space applications. The study is now complete and last week members met with representatives of industry and academia to discuss the outcome. So what is the Grid? To paraphrase Ian Foster,... view more... (2003-05-28)

Grid Computing Steps up a Gear
UK plans for Grid computing changed gear this week. The pioneering European DataGrid (EDG) project came to a successful conclusion at the end of March, and on 1 April a new project, known as Enabling Grids for E-Science in Europe (EGEE), begins. The UK is a major player in both projects, providing key staff and developing crucial areas of the... view more... (2004-04-01)
