Global warming greatest in past decade
Researchers confirm that surface temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were warmer over the last 10 years than any time during the last 1300 years, and, if the climate scientists include the somewhat controversial data derived from tree-ring records, the warming is anomalous for at least 1700 years. view more (2008-09-02)
Environmentally-friendly pesticide to combat potato cyst nematodes
NWO researchers have produced a substance in the laboratory which wakens potato cyst nematodes (eelworms) from hibernation. Using this substance in a field of potatoes the eelworms came out of hibernation too early and died from starvation. These creatures cause serious damage to potato crops throughout the world. Potato cyst eelworms are... view more... (2001-10-08)
A Long Night Falls Over Saturn's Rings
As Saturn's rings orbit the planet, a section is typically in the planet's shadow, experiencing a brief night lasting from 6 to 14 hours. However, once approximately every 15 years, night falls over the entire visible ring system for about four days. view more (2009-10-26)
Where in the world is Middle Earth?
A team of academic researchers is about to find out. As the dark forces are loosed for the third and final part of the Lord Of the Rings trilogy, audiences around the world await to see whether or not the simple peace-loving hobbit folk will be trampled by a brutal imperial hegemony. The diverse cultures of middle earth risk annihilation - the... view more... (2003-11-17)
Unexpected finding: Some dinosaurs grew slower in hard times
Palaeontologists from the University of Bonn report on an intriguing diagnosis in the 16 December issue of the journal Science. A dinosaur which they have examined was apparently able to vary the speed of its growth according the conditions obtaining in its environment. view more (2005-12-16)
Glasgow astronomers explain hot star disks
Astronomers have been puzzled for decades as to how the rings of hot gas surrounding certain types of star are formed. Now a team of scientists from the Universities of Glasgow and Wisconsin believe they have found the answer. The team studied a type of young, hot star, known as a "Be star", that has a disk of glowing gas around it, similar to the... view more... (2002-11-01)
Saturn's faint rings share some of their secrets
NASA Cassini spacecraft images of Saturn's diaphanous G and E rings are yielding new clues about their structure and formation. view more (2006-07-06)
Major International Lord of the Rings research project launches today
It's Christmas, precioussss"¦ and it's the season for Hobbits, Elves and Dark Lords. Amidst all the movie hype an international team of academics is on a quest to find out what on Middle Earth people actually get from viewing Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. Academic researchers across 20 countries and five continents want audiences... view more... (2003-12-16)
Saturn's aurora - not as we thought! Comment from UK scientists
Results which combine data from the joint NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini Huygens space mission and the Hubble Space Telescope, published in Nature today (17th February 2005), reveal that Saturn's auroras, long thought to be a cross between those of Earth and Jupiter, are in fact different and may even be unique to Saturn. view more (2005-02-17)
Potential leap forward in electron microscopy
MIT electrical engineers have proposed a new scheme that can overcome a critical limitation of high-resolution electron microscopes: they cannot be used to image living cells because the electrons destroy the samples. view more (2009-10-07)
Ghostly spokes in Saturn's rings spotted by Cassini
Delighted scientists on the Cassini imaging team will be breaking out the champagne in celebration of the first Cassini sighting of spokes, the ghostly radial markings discovered in Saturn's rings by NASA's Voyager spacecraft 25 years ago. view more (2005-09-19)
Astronomers get first look at Uranus's rings as they swing edge-on to Earth
As the rings of Uranus swing edge-on to Earth - a short-lived view we get only once every 42 years - astronomers observing the event are getting an unprecedented, glare-free view of the rings and the fine dust that permeates them. view more (2007-08-24)
Hubble finds double Einstein ring
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a never-before-seen optical alignment in space: a pair of glowing rings, one nestled inside the other like a bull's-eye pattern. The double-ring pattern is caused by the complex bending of light from two distant galaxies strung directly behind a foreground massive galaxy, like three beads on a... view more... (2008-01-11)

Safety device for tall buildings
The device, called `Life-Saver` by the designers, looks like a big badminton shuttlecock. A shock-absorbing cushion connected to two thick torus rings (bagels) covered by a special material, serves as the bean of this shuttlecock. When folded the `Life-Saver` looks like a solid base backpack or a knapsack. When required, a person puts it on the... view more... (2001-12-25)
