Research Fortnight 16 January issue: stories on Wales, lab accreditation, the infection agency, EPSRC and DEFRA
Cardiff should be the research hub for Wales Cardiff University should become the research 'hub' of higher education in Wales, according to the Welsh Assembly's education committee. This restructuring should be backed by the development of an all-Wales strategy for research and more money for... view more (2002-01-16)

Could this be the end for injections?
Nightmares of doctors or dentists with oversized hypodermic needles could soon be a thing of the past. A new painless way of delivering drugs through the skin is described in the journal BMC Medicine this week - and needles are not involved. The technique, called microscission, uses a stream of... view more (2004-04-14)

MIT works toward novel therapeutic device
MIT and University of Rochester researchers report important advances toward a therapeutic device that has the potential to capture cells as they flow through the blood stream and treat them. Among other applications, such a device could zapp cancer cells spreading to other tissues, or signal stem... view more (2007-10-23)

Giant project to test Antarctic ice stability
If rising global temperatures cause the ice streams of Western Antarctica to break up, major cities and agricultural heartlands the world over would be submerged. Researchers from the University of Leeds' School of Geography are set to embark on a £1m, three-year project to find out exactly... view more (2004-05-10)

Rising temperatures will lead to loss of trout habitat in the southern Appalachians
USDA Forest Service (FS) research projects that between 53 and 97 percent of natural trout populations in the Southern Appalachians could disappear due to the warmer temperatures predicted under two different global climate circulation models.   view more (2006-10-05)

Earth's heat adds to climate change to melt Greenland ice
Scientists have discovered what they think may be another reason why Greenland's ice is melting: a thin spot in Earth's crust is enabling underground magma to heat the ice. They have found at least one "hotspot" in the northeast corner of Greenland -- just below a site where an ice stream... view more (2007-12-13)

High insulin levels impair intestinal metabolic function
Nutritional scientists at the University of Alberta are the first to establish a connection between high insulin levels and dysfunction of intestinal lipid metabolism in an animal model.   view more (2007-04-25)

New south Florida nursery to focus on staghorn corals
In response to the need for localized efforts to protect and recover the surviving populations of the threatened staghorn coral, Diego Lirman, Ph.D., and James Herlan, researchers from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) have established an... view more (2007-11-15)

New lease of life for archive film footage
Work to develop new methods of digitally restoring archive film footage could breathe new life into old recordings and improve on the quality of the originals. The new approach aims to make the whole process cheaper, faster and more effective than current methods. The work could also dramatically... view more (2004-01-26)

Climate kick from the Southern Ocean
This much was already known: in the closing phase of the last ice age the Southern Hemisphere began warming first. As a result, the Antarctic sea ice melted. It was at least a thousand years later - as evidenced by investigations of Greenland ice cores - that the high northern latitudes began to... view more (2003-07-29)

Cell death following blood 'reflow' injury tracked to natural toxin
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered what they believe is the "smoking gun" responsible for most tissue and organ damage after a period of blood oxygen loss followed by a sudden restoration of blood oxygen flow.   view more (2006-11-30)

Fire, ice, and invasion
The November 2007 Special Issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment focuses on paleoecology, which uses fossilized remains and soil and sediment cores to reconstruct past ecosystems.   view more (2007-11-15)

Area creek studied for rangeland effects on water quality
Elevated levels of bacteria in streams can affect water quality, the health of the aquatic ecosystem and activities such as fishing, swimming and wading, a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher said.   view more (2006-10-25)

Dorich House Awarded Museum Status
Kingston University has helped pave the way for one of Surrey's most impressive buildings to be awarded museum status. Dorich House, which was built on Kingston Hill in 1936, is now officially a registered museum. It received the coveted award from Resource: The Council for Archives Libraries and... view more (2004-08-20)

Pointing a finger at the source of fecal bacteria
Excessive levels of fecal bacteria were to blame for almost 60 percent of Nebraska streams deemed impaired by federal and state environmental laws in 2004.   view more (2007-05-24)

More than meets the eye
Ever watch a jittery video made with a hand-held camera that made you almost ill? With our eyes constantly darting back and forth and our body hardly ever holding still, that is exactly what our brain is faced with. Yet despite the shaky video stream, we usually perceive our environment as... view more (2006-10-09)

Healthy rivers needed to remove nitrogen
Healthy streams with vibrant ecosystems play a critical role in removing excess nitrogen caused by human activities, according to a major new national study published this week in Nature.   view more (2008-03-13)

Dating Of The Turin Shroad Was Incorrect
The researchers were allowed a single chance to examine the Turin Shroud. On April 21, 1988 a small piece, its square being about 7 square centimeters, was cut off from the Shroud under the supervision of Cardinal Anastacio Ballestrero, the Archbishop of Turin, and the invited experts. The sample... view more (2002-04-02)

Women recover muscle strength more slowly than men
Women's muscles may require longer, more intensive rehabilitation after bed rest and cast immobilization, as reported today by the Institute for Neuromusculoskeletal Research at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-COM).   view more (2008-09-26)

Larynx preservation preferred over total laryngectomy
Patients with locally advanced laryngopharyngeal cancers who receive radical chemoradiation have significantly better voice outcomes during the 12 months following treatment when compared with patients who have undergone a total laryngectomy and surgical voice restoration.   view more (2008-02-04)

From the backyard to the ocean: New study shows streams act as key nitrogen filters
KNOXVILLE -- As spring arrives across the country, tourists returning to beaches will face the reality of "red tide" -- harmful blooms of algae that make water unfit for swimming and pose risks to humans and sea life.   view more (2008-03-13)

Pycnogenol delays glucose absorption 190 times more potently than prescription medication
A new study to be published in an upcoming edition of the journal of Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice reveals that French maritime pine tree extract known as Pycnogenol® (pic-noj-en-all) delays the uptake of glucose from a meal 190 times more than prescription medications, preventing the... view more (2007-02-08)

Historic Colorado River streamflows reconstructed back to 1490

UK researchers aim to create black holes in the lab
Physicists in the UK are planning pioneering experiments to create tiny, artificial black holes in the laboratory which will be able to suck in light or sound waves.
