Physicists say universe evolution favored three and seven dimensions
Physicists who work with a concept called string theory envision our universe as an eerie place with at least nine spatial dimensions, six of them hidden from us, perhaps curled up in some way so they are undetectable. view more (2005-09-29)

U.S. Air Force Technology Helps Scientists Understand Plant Root Function
The McClellan Nuclear Radiation Center (MNRC) in Sacramento, CA was developed by the U.S. Air Force to detect corrosion and defects in aircraft structure using an imaging technique called neutron radiography. This technique is currently helping soil scientists understand the function of plant roots and their uptake of water and nutrients. view more (2008-09-09)
Cranfield Digs Deep Into The Insurance Market
Cranfield University's commercial arm, Silsoe Ventures Ltd (SVL), has launched a unique Natural Perils Directory, which integrates soil, climate and other environmental data, onto the insurance market. The directory, which is available on CD-ROM and is compatible with leading GIS and database packages, has been specifically developed from... view more... (2003-06-20)
Automation increases worker efficiency in greenhouses, nurseries
A report published in the October 2008 issue of HortTechnology measures the socioeconomic impact of automation and mechanization on sales, employment, workers' earnings, safety and worker retention in nurseries and greenhouses. view more (2009-02-04)
Harvard University engineers demonstrate quantum cascade laser nanoantenna
In a major feat of nanotechnology engineering researchers from Harvard University have demonstrated a laser with a wide-range of potential applications in chemistry, biology and medicine. view more (2007-10-23)
Kids need more time than adults give them, study finds
Further proof that children require more time comes via a study to be published today in Developmental Science asserting that the fast pace expected by adults-both parents and educators-can be beyond chindren's perceptual abilities. view more (2006-08-10)
New Insight Into Aluminium
Aluminium is a metal widely used in industry; therefore the more that is known about it, the more effectively it can be used. Researchers at Ris'¸ National Laboratory in Denmark and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in France have filmed in 3D the changes in the bulk of deformed aluminium after annealing. Thanks to the uniqueness... view more... (2004-07-09)
The Mediterranean connection: ecological effects of El Ni'ħo in the Northern hemisphere
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the El Ni'ħo/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are being increasingly acknowledged as major climatic sources of ecological variability. However, studies linking ecological processes to those oscillations have been conducted in geographic regions close to their centers of action, so their effects outside these... view more...

Seeing red
In spring, thoughts turn to sex, and three-spined stickleback females set about finding the most attractive mate. Their method of selection is to choose the male with the most attractive red belly, so it's not surprising that Dr. Victoria Braithwaite (University of Edinburgh) has discovered that female sticklebacks become more sensitive to red... view more...

Precise Location and Navigation in the Centimetre Range
The importance of position recognition systems for control and monitoring processes is steadily increasing. As dictated by the particular application, very high precision and measuring repetition rate are required for this purpose. Consequently, work for developing a novel system for commercial applications has been in progress at the Institute of... view more... (2003-03-31)
Model successfully predicts large river system fish diversity
While scientists have developed methods to predict aspects of fish diversity in specific river locations, a model to understand what factors may drive a comprehensive suite of fish biodiversity patterns in a large and complex system of rivers has been elusive. view more (2008-05-09)
First semiconductor-based PET scanner demonstrates potential to aid in early diagnosis of disease
Evaluations of the first-ever prototype positron emission tomography (PET) brain scanner that uses semiconductor detectors indicate that the scanner could advance the quality and spatial resolution of PET imaging, according to researchers at SNM's 55th Annual Meeting. view more (2008-06-17)
Kansas State professor uses geography and geospatial technology to study patterns of seized meth lab
It seems like a strange combination: geography and methamphetamine, also known as meth. view more (2006-09-11)
Tracing broken wiring in stroke patients
Researchers have used a technique to trace the functional disruption in brain circuitry that causes stroke patients to show a lack of awareness or response to the side of the body opposite to the side of the stroke lesion in the brain. view more (2007-03-15)
Video games, cell phones and academic performance: Some good news
Using cell phones and playing video games may not be as harmful to children's academic performance as previously believed, according to new research by a team of Michigan State University scholars. view more (2009-03-25)
Cracking the spatial memory code
Researchers have shown that they can tell where a person is "standing" within a virtual reality room on the basis of the pattern of activity in the brain alone. view more (2009-03-12)
