Simplifying waste management
A newly-invented automatic waste transportation and sorting system operates economically and ecologically on virtually any kind of premises. view more (2005-01-05)
Babies placed in incubators decrease risk of depression as adults
Babies who receive incubator care after birth are two to three times less likely to suffer depression as adults according to a new study published in the journal Pyschiatry Research. view more (2008-11-11)
NASA finds direct proof of dark matter
Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies. The discovery, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, gives direct evidence for the existence of dark matter. view more (2006-08-22)
New findings measure precise impact of fat on cancer spread
Researchers at Purdue University have precisely measured the impact of a high-fat diet on the spread of cancer, finding that excessive dietary fat caused a 300 percent increase in metastasizing tumor cells in laboratory animals. view more (2009-02-26)
Gene study shows three distinct groups of chimpanzees
The largest study to date of genetic variation among chimpanzees has found that the traditional, geography-based sorting of chimps into three populations—western, central and eastern—is underpinned by significant genetic differences, two to three times greater than the variation between the most different human populations. view more (2007-04-23)
Membrane breaks through performance barrier
Engineers have developed a new method for creating high-performance membranes from crystal sieves called zeolites; the method could increase the energy efficiency of chemical separations up to 50 times over conventional methods and enable higher production rates. view more (2009-07-31)
MIT sorts cells with beams of light
Separating out particular kinds of cells from a sample could become faster, cheaper and easier thanks to a new system developed by MIT researchers that involves levitating the cells with light. view more (2007-12-11)
Single-parent Children At Increased Risk Of Suicide, Psychiatric Disease, And Substance Abuse (pp 271, 289)
Authors of a Swedish population study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide strong evidence that children brought up in single-parent households are more likely to suffer health problems--especially relating to mental illness and suicide risk--than children brought up with both parents in the same household. Research on the psychological and... view more... (2003-01-23)
New thinking needed on helping kids avoid or cope with homesickness
A new report urges parents and children's doctors to change their thinking about homesickness among children, to see it as a nearly universal but highly preventable and treatable phenomenon - rather than an unavoidable part of childhood. view more (2007-01-02)
LEGO toy helps researchers learn what happens on nanoscale
Johns Hopkins engineers are using a popular children's toy to visualize the behavior of particles, cells and molecules in environments too small to see with the naked eye. view more (2009-08-26)
Research reveals married women diet much more than single women
A post-graduate economics researcher at the University of Warwick has surprisingly found that married women are much more likely to be on a diet than their single counter-parts - a result that totally contradicts current economic theories on dieting. University of Warwick economics post-graduate Matthew Bending found that 41.5% of married women... view more... (2004-07-19)
Proteomics on a chip
'Golden approach' human proteine classification Proteomics on a chip Knowledge of the human proteome may provide us with even more insight than knowledge of DNA. This 'protein blueprint' of a human contains valuable information about cell properties and disease causes. A single cell, however, already consists of several thousands of proteines. To... view more... (2002-06-18)
Magnet lab researcher exploring science behind commercial applications of liquid helium
In a letter published in a recent issue of Nature Physics, Van Sciver wrote that when superfluid helium flows toward and then around a relatively large object, say the size of a small stone, it has a tendency to create whirlpools not just in the back, as would be expected, but also in the front. view more (2005-12-12)
No trouble removing oil from water
A simple tank-and-siphon system for removing oil from oily water and protecting the environment is about to be launched internationally by an engineering team from the University of New South Wales. view more (2005-08-05)
High-value chemicals produced from ethanol feedstocks could boost biorefinery economics
Biorefineries developed to produce ethanol from cellulose sources such as trees and fast-growing plants could get a significant economic boost from the sale of high-value chemicals - such as vanillin flavoring - that could be generated from the same feedstock. view more (2006-09-11)
Lavas from Hawaiian volcano contain fingerprint of planetary formation
Hikers visiting the Kilauea Iki crater in Hawaii today walk along a mostly flat surface of sparsely vegetated basalt. It looks like parking lot asphalt, but in November and December 1959, it emitted the orange glow of newly erupted lava. view more (2008-06-20)
Protein connections: A network to understand disease
In the 1990s, the notion of "six degrees of separation" emphasized human linkages that connected people around the world. view more (2006-05-19)
MIT's molecular sieve advances protein research
New MIT technology promises to speed up the accurate sorting of proteins, work that may ultimately aid in the detection and treatment of disease. view more (2006-09-14)
UK researchers announce continuous Terahertz emission innovation
Researchers at the University of Leeds' Institute of Microwaves and Photonics have developed a novel way of generating continuous tunable Terahertz (THz) radiation. view more (2002-11-14)
CryoSat Mission lost due to launch failure
Mr Yuri Bakhvalov, First Deputy Director General of the Khrunichev Space Centre on behalf of the Russian State Commission officially confirmed that the launch of CryoSat ended in a failure due to an anomaly in the launch sequence and expressed his regret to ESA and all partners involved. view more (2005-10-11)
