Physicists exploit ultra-cold gases to measure ultra-small magnetic fields
Capturing the coldest atoms in the universe within the confines of a laser beam, University of California, Berkeley, physicists have made a device that can map magnetic fields more precisely than ever before. view more (2007-05-22)
Antarctic snow inaccurate temperature archive
According to Dutch researcher Michiel Helsen, annual and seasonal temperature fluctuations are not accurately recorded in the composition of the snow of Antarctica. His research into the isotopic composition of the Antarctic snow has exposed the complexity of climate reconstructions. view more (2006-02-16)

Williams Syndrome, the brain and music
Children with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, just love music and will spend hours listening to or making music. Despite averaging an IQ score of 60, many possess a great memory for songs, an uncanny sense of rhythm, and the kind of auditory acuity, than can discern differences between different vacuum cleaner brands. view more (2006-10-04)
Hospital volume doesn't explain racial disparity in cardiovascular procedure deaths
Although hospitals that perform fewer cardiovascular procedures tend to have higher death rates than higher-volume hospitals, and although African-American and Hispanic patients tend to be treated at lower-volume hospitals, differences in volume do not explain racial disparities in cardiovascular procedure death rates. view more (2006-01-16)

New images of marine microbe illuminate carbon and nitrogen fixation
Trichodesmium is unusual among marine microbes because it both "breathes" carbon dioxide like plants, while also taking nitrogen gas from the air and "fixing" it into a fertilizer of the seas. view more (2009-03-31)
Long-term abstinence may resolve many of the neurocognitive deficits associated with alcoholism
Alcoholism can cause neuropsychological deficits, that much is clear. There is much less clarity, however, concerning to what degree recovery may occur with abstinence from alcohol. New findings indicate that long-term abstinence from alcohol can resolve many - but not all - neurocognitive deficits. view more (2006-08-28)
Study finds DNA barcoding requires caution without closer examination
The goal of DNA barcoding is to find a simple, cheap, and rapid DNA assay that can be converted to a readily accessible technical skill that bypasses the need to rely on highly trained taxonomic specialists for identifications of the world's biota. view more (2009-06-25)
Brain center for 'sound space' identified
While the visual regions of the brain have been intensively mapped, many important regions for auditory processing remain terra incognita. Now, researchers have identified the region responsible for a key auditory process-perceiving "sound space," the location of sounds. view more (2007-09-20)
Premature babies show poor school performance
Up to a third of children born between 32 and 35 weeks gestation will have some form of school problem, finds a study in Archives of Disease in Childhood. Given the large number of surviving children in this gestational age group, this finding has important implications for educational services, report the authors. All children born at 32-35 weeks... view more... (2001-06-19)
