Engineered heart tissue offers insights into irregular heartbeats, defibrillator failure
Engineers who have induced heart cells in culture to mimic the properties of the heart have used the tissue to gain new insight into the mechanisms that spawn irregular heart rhythms. view more (2006-02-06)
`Quiet` star wasn`t quiet after all, say astronomers
For more than two years the star was `quiet`. Or so astronomers thought. But the X-ray pulsar EXO 2030+375 was abuzz with activity. Scientists simply lacked the ability to `hear` it over the hum of a nearby black hole. Now a study by scientists at the University of Southampton, the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) in... view more... (2002-07-10)
Cosmologists aim to observe first moments of universe
During the next decade, a delicate measurement of primordial light could reveal convincing evidence for the popular cosmic inflation theory, which proposes that a random, microscopic density fluctuation in the fabric of space and time gave birth to the universe in a hot big bang approximately 13.7 billion years ago. view more (2009-02-17)
The Wild, Hidden Cousin of SN 1987A
Over a decade after it exploded, one of the nearest supernovae in the last 25 years has been identified. This result was made possible by combining data from the vast online archives from many of the world's premier telescopes. view more (2008-09-26)
Reversing and accelerating the speed of light
Physicist Costas Soukoulis and his research group at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory on the Iowa State University campus are having the time of their lives making light travel backwards at negative speeds that appear faster than the speed of light. view more (2006-07-24)
K-State's fast laser research and theory building on Einsten's work by timing electrons emissions
Ultrafast laser research at Kansas State University has allowed physicists to build on Nobel Prize-winning work in photo-electronics by none other than Albert Einstein. view more (2009-05-22)
Black holes have simple feeding habits
The biggest black holes may feed just like the smallest ones, according to data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ground-based telescopes. This discovery supports the implication of Einstein's relativity theory that black holes of all sizes have similar properties, and will be useful for predicting the properties of a conjectured new class... view more...

The striking deep current reversal in the tropical Pacific Ocean
The ocean's immense heat storage capacity means that it has a dominant role in the regulation of heat exchange and of the Earth's climate. And it is the ocean's currents that drive thermal exchanges between ocean and atmosphere and contribute to climate balance. view more (2006-11-14)
Nicotine rush hinges on sugar in neurons
When nicotine binds to a neuron, how does the cell know to send the signal that announces a smoker's high" view more (2007-07-23)
What do Racquel Welch and quantum physics have in common?
The study aims to delve into a 'void' or empty space in which atoms move, which has a large intrinsic energy density known as zero-point energy view more (2006-06-30)

ROYAL ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY PRESS NOTICE: view more (2005-03-28)
Electron filmed for first time ever
Now it is possible to see a movie of an electron. The movie shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom. view more (2008-02-25)
Invisible waves shape continental slope
A class of powerful, invisible waves hidden beneath the surface of the ocean can shape the underwater edges of continents and contribute to ocean mixing and climate, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have found. view more (2008-07-01)
'Missing Beach' Returns to Donegal
The sandy beach at Five-Finger Strand in Donegal has returned as predicted by University of Ulster researchers. The beach, which had lost its sand and for the past several years was an unattractive gravely surface, has now reverted to its former glory. A study, undertaken by the University's Coastal Research Group in the face of local concerns,... view more... (2004-02-19)
Pitt, Berkeley Researchers Reconstruct Seashells to Model Nervous System Function
The enchantingly colored seashells that lend beaches their charm could also provide information about how the brain converts memories and sensory information into action. view more (2009-04-10)
Kidney donor age linked to aortic siffening
Transplantation of kidneys from older donors is followed by increased stiffening of the recipient's aorta-which may help to explain the higher rates of cardiovascular disease and death in patients receiving kidneys from "expanded criteria" donors, reports a study in the April Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-02-22)
Physicist's innovative technique makes atomic-level microscopy at least 100 times faster
Using an existing technique in a novel way, Cornell physicist Keith Schwab and colleagues at Cornell and Boston University have made the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) -- which can image individual atoms on a surface -- at least 100 times faster. view more (2007-11-09)
Mangroves save lives in storms, study of 1999 super cyclone finds
A new study of storm-related deaths from a super cyclone that hit the eastern coast of India in 1999 finds that villages shielded from the storm surge by mangrove forests experienced significantly fewer deaths than villages that were less protected. view more (2009-04-15)
Superconducting nanowires show ability to measure magnetic fields
By using DNA molecules as scaffolds, scientists have created superconducting nanodevices that demonstrate a new type of quantum interference and could be used to measure magnetic fields and map regions of superconductivity. view more (2005-06-16)
Opening Up the Dark Side of the Universe
Physicists in the UK are ready to start construction of a major part of an advanced new experiment, designed to search for elusive gravitational waves. They are already part of two experiments: the UK/German GEO 600 project and the US LIGO experiment (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), both in their commissioning phases. By... view more... (2003-09-10)
