Lisa And The Search For Elusive Gravity Waves
For almost 100 years, scientists have been searching for direct evidence of the existence of gravity waves - faint ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted in Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity. view more (2005-03-31)
A Penn physics study: Of traffic jams, beach sands and the zero-temperature jamming transition
Researchers in condensed matter physics at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Chicago have created an experimental and computer model to study how jamming, the physical process in which collections of particles are crammed together to behave as solids, might affect the behavior of systems in which thermal motion is important,... view more...

Let's Stick Together - A Protein Protects Chromosome Bonds
The protein Mnd2 inhibits premature separation of chromosomes during the formation of gametes. The now published discovery of this regulatory function may help to understand the origin of some common congenital chromosome defects. The project of a team of the University of Vienna funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) contributes to the Campus... view more... (2005-03-29)
New Understanding Of Role Of Breast Cancer Gene In Normal Function And Disease
Researchers at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cancer Cell Unit, Cambridge have gained an important new insight into the role of the breast cancer gene known as BRCA2. It appears to have a key function in cell division which needs to happen accurately for normal cell reproduction and repair, otherwise disease occurs. The findings are published... view more...

Newborn brain cells show the way
Although the fact that we generate new brain cells throughout life is no longer disputed, their purpose has been the topic of much debate. view more (2009-07-10)
Letting the spin loose
Two properties of an electron-its spin and its charge-are generally thought to be inseparable, intrinsic characteristics, no more given to sudden changes or going off on their own than say, the fur on a cat or the paint on a bicycle. But a team of scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science has recently demonstrated conclusively that, in very... view more... (2005-07-13)
Domestication of Capsicum annuum chile pepper provides insights into crop origin and evolution
Without the process of domestication, humans would still be hunters and gatherers, and modern civilization would look very different. view more (2009-06-22)
US teens adopted as infants appear to have moderately increased odds of mental health problems
Although most adopted American teens are psychologically healthy, adoptees appear to be at greater risk for emotional and behavioral problems than non-adoptees. view more (2008-05-06)
Saving Cells - Safer Method for Filtering Sensitive Biological Products
For many years, engineers have worked to efficiently filter valuable bio-process products on an industrial economic scale. The challenge has been to push rates up without incurring high shear rates and resultant cell lysis, which would cause loss of yield. High shear can destroy delicate and valuable biological materials such as proteins, blood,... view more... (2004-07-23)

Stepfamilies and lone parents: Changing family life in Britain
More and more men are raising other men's children, while, in many cases, their own children grow up elsewhere - no fewer than 17% of dads born in 1970 are stepfathers, nearly double the number among men born just 12 years earlier. And six out of 100 babies born in Britain at the turn of the millennium have no contact with their fathers. These are... view more... (2004-06-18)
Proba-3: ESA's first step towards formation flying
Proba-3 is the third in ESA's series of missions for validating developments in space systems while carrying an 'added value' user payload which can directly benefit from the innovations under test. view more (2006-08-10)
1 sponge-like material, 3 different applications
A new sponge-like material that is black, brittle and freeze-dried (just like the ice cream astronauts eat) can pull off some pretty impressive feats. view more (2009-05-18)
What women think during their first pregnancy
Pregnant women who perceive having had a well-balanced relationship with their parents during their childhood will experience fewer difficulties in the transition to motherhood, as opposed to women whose relationship with their parents was characterized by unresolved anger or rejection. view more (2008-02-26)
Human and chimp genomes reveal new twist on origin of species
The evolutionary split between human and chimpanzee is much more recent - and more complicated - than previously thought. view more (2006-05-18)
Don't stand by me: When involving an interested party may not be in your best interest
When business leaders leave organizations following poor decisions, constituents often find comfort in replacing them with insiders - others familiar with the problem and original choices. view more (2009-09-11)
Secrets of the 4 chambers revealed by reptile hearts
The first genetic link in the evolution of the heart from three-chambered to four-chambered has been found, illuminating part of the puzzle of how birds and mammals became warm-blooded. view more (2009-09-03)
Beagle 2 Information Note: The Beginning of Beagle 2's Lone Odyssey
Image Advisory: The Beginning of Beagle 2's Lone Odyssey Following the successful separation of the British-built Beagle 2 spacecraft and the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter earlier today, ESA has released the first images of the small lander as it begins its lone voyage to the surface of the Red Planet. The images, taken with the... view more... (2003-12-19)
New membrane strips carbon dioxide from natural gas faster and better
A modified plastic material greatly improves the ability to separate global warming-linked carbon dioxide from natural gas as the gas is prepared for use, according to engineers at The University of Texas at Austin who have analyzed the new plastic's performance. view more (2007-10-12)
A Staffordshire University hazard expert has joined a special UK Government watchdog group
A Staffordshire University hazard expert has joined a special UK Government watchdog group to help ensure the public is better protected from major disasters such as firework explosions similar to the one which shocked Holland last year. Gordon Walker, the University's Head of Geography, has been appointed as a member of the Advisory Committee on... view more... (2001-07-06)
