Research Europe 25 April issue: stories on MEPs and ethics, the neutron drought, Grenoble genomics, research tax and primate facilities.
MEPs warned off FP6 ethics challenge MEPs have been warned that reopening the issue of ethics in Framework 6 will undermine the whole programme. The warning came during three-way negotiations between the Spanish presidency of the EU, MEPs and the Commission last week. The meetings are intended to resolve major differences between the positions of... view more... (2002-04-25)
Collaborative study successfully applies neutrons to study hydrogen transfer in biological systems
An innovative collaboration among scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory, Fox Chase Cancer Center and the University of Tennessee has successfully applied neutron diffraction to create a three-dimensional map of the structure of the enzyme D-xylose isomerase. view more (2006-05-16)

Swedish Government appoints former minister of finance as special negotiator for locating the European Spallation Source research centre in Sweden
The Swedish government has appointed Allan Larsson, former minister of finance and director general at the EU-Commission, as special negotiator for Sweden to assess the possibilities to locate a European research centre, the European Spallation Source (ESS), in Sweden. In the terms of reference for the assessment, the government notes that Sweden... view more... (2004-07-19)
ESA's XMM-Newton makes the first measurement of a dead star's magnetism
Using the superior sensitivity of ESA's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, a team of European astronomers has made the first direct measurement of a neutron star's magnetic field. The results provide deep insights into the extreme physics of neutron stars and reveal a new mystery yet to be solved about the end of this star's life. A neutron star is... view more... (2003-06-11)
