Deforestation and habitat loss are expected to lead to an extinction crisis among tropical forest species. Humans in rural settings contribute most to deforestation of extant tropical forests.   view more (2006-04-07)

Opening a Door into Cells: Research Shows How Ultrasound Can Deliver Therapeutic Molecules into Living Cells
Researchers have shown how ultrasound energy can briefly "open a door" in the protective outer membranes of living cells to allow entry of drugs and other therapeutic molecules - and how the cells themselves can then quickly close the door.   view more (2006-09-06)

Diamonds key to a sparkling listening experience
Music lovers could be in for the ultimate listening experience, thanks to a new range of speakers containing parts made of diamond, writes Marina Murphy in the Chemistry & Industry magazine. The unique properties of diamond make the speakers less susceptible to distortion and thus provide a... view more (2005-02-18)

U of M to help NASA 'follow the sun' — in stereo
Like geologists poring over seismograph records to identify the telltale signature of an imminent earthquake, University of Minnesota researchers are poised to probe the sun for a tipoff that a huge eruption of its corona is brewing.   view more (2006-10-19)

Negative effects of caffeine are stronger on daytime sleep than on nocturnal sleep
A new study at the Université de Montréal has concluded that people drinking coffee to get through a night shift or a night of studying will strongly hurt their recovery sleep the next day.   view more (2006-10-03)

New phenomenon in physics discovered on illumination of metal surfaces
Scientific research at the Centre of the Physics of Materials, a mixed venture of the Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC) and the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) in Donostia-San Sebastian, has enabled the discovery of a new physical phenomenon that affects the surfaces of... view more (2007-07-12)

Noise-Immune Stethoscope Helps Medics Hear Vital Signs in Loud Environments
A new type of stethoscope enables doctors to hear the sounds of the body in extremely loud situations, such as during the transportation of wounded soldiers in Blackhawk helicopters.   view more (2006-11-29)

Private Finance Initiative is associated with NHS downsizing and bed reductions
The private finance initiative (PFI) in Lothian, Scotland has not reached its targets for inpatient admissions and performance, show researchers in this week's BMJ. The effect has been a cut in services and downsizing of hospital and community facilities compared with other NHS hospitals in... view more (2003-04-23)

Ultrafast lasers take 'snapshots' as atoms collide
Using laser pulses that last just 70 femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second), physicists have observed in greater detail than ever before what happens when atoms collide.   view more (2005-10-21)

Using light under your skin
You have a tiny wound on your hand that doesn't heal, a bad burn on your chest - or an injured retina. Your doctor cannot tell how serious the injuries are below the surface. He needs tissue samples. That means using a scalpel, which again equals pain, perhaps even a risk. Soon there may be hope... view more (2005-04-21)

DNA Anniversary Poster
2003 is the 50th anniversary of one of the most important breakthroughs in science - the discovery of the DNA double helix by James Watson and Francis Crick in Cambridge in the spring of 1953. A photograph of the pair with their original model of DNA, taken in May 1953 by Antony Barrington Brown,... view more (2003-02-07)

Joining forces to predict tsunamis: Pan-European approach to disaster prevention
Following a series of well documented natural disasters with grave human and economic consequences, the ability to predict these devastating events has once more come to the fore as a research priority for the European scientific community.   view more (2006-11-07)

Tsunami research shows destructive path worse in developed areas
Last December's tsunami was a destructive force of nature that swept entire villages away and resulted in the deaths of approximately 200,000 people. Now, a team of researchers including Arizona State University's Harinda Joseph Fernando reports that some areas of Sri Lanka were devastated more... view more (2005-06-10)

Major grant drives forward cost efficient solar power
Whether the search for alternative energy sources is driven by our concern about global fossil fuel supplies or over the atmospheric effects of burning of fossil fuels, the government has laid out its aim to cut carbon dioxide emissions by 60% of 1990 levels by 2050, and aims to over- achieve its... view more (2004-09-14)

Astrophysicists Listen to Loops Shivering on the Sun
You would imagine that a 500,000 kilometre long arch of super heated plasma releasing energy equal to the simultaneous explosion of 40 billion Hiroshima atomic bombs would be as easy to "hear" as it is to "see" - but it's not. Astrophysicists have long thought about using the... view more (2004-02-17)

News from the Fran Laboratory of Neutron Physics
Since 1984, for 15 years, in the Frank Laboratory of Neutron Physics of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (Dubna, Russia),the highest intensity research neutron source in the world, the IBR-2 pulsing nuclear reactor, has been operating. It was commissioned on February 10 and the program of... view more (1999-04-14)

New understanding of nervous system gives insight into common gut problem in newborn babies
