Recent developments in the mathematical theory of water waves (Royal Society Philosophical Transactions A)
The last decade has seen vigorous activity in mathematical theory for the motion of water waves by several independent international research groups, and in 2001 a workshop on mathematical problems of nonlinear hydrodynamic waves was held at the conference centre at Oberwolfach, Southern Germany.... view more (2002-09-10)

Through a light, darkly
A British physicist has come up with a way to reveal the shifting and shining colours that form in the dark spots where light waves interfere with each other. The patterns await experimental demonstration but computer-generated images are already illuminating new aspects of light that had until now... view more (2002-10-18)

Nano-signals get a boost from magnetic spin waves
Researchers have figured out how nanoscale microwave transmitters gain greater signal power than the sum of their parts-a finding that will help in the design of nano-oscillator arrays for possible use as transmitters and receivers in cell phones, radar systems, or computer chips.   view more (2006-09-01)

Understanding the migration of cancer cells
Lamellipodia are veil-shaped protrusions of the plasma membrane, that can turn into upward-curled ruffles if they fail to adhere to the substrate.   view more (2008-06-23)

Huge waves that hit Reunion Island tracked from space
The origin and movement of waves reaching up to 11 metres that devastated France's Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean on Saturday evening have been detected with ESA's Envisat satellite.    view more (2007-05-17)

Sound Filters Light
Russian researchers have developed a small, smart and tolerant to vibrations spectrometer, which is equally reliable in the outer space and in oceanic depths. The development was performed with financial support from the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) and the Foundation for Assistance... view more (2004-11-01)

NIST method may help optimize light-emitting semiconductors
Physicists at JILA have demonstrated an ultrafast laser technique for "seeing" once-hidden electronic behavior in semiconductors, which eventually could be useful in more predictable design of optoelectronic devices, including semiconductor lasers and white light-emitting diodes.   view more (2006-02-17)

Tycho's Remnant Provides Shocking Evidence for Cosmic Rays
Astronomers have found compelling evidence that a supernova shock wave has produced a large amount of cosmic rays, particles of mysterious origin that constantly bombard the Earth.   view more (2005-09-23)

Victims of child maltreatment more likely to perpetrate youth violence, intimate partner violence
Some people are caught in a cycle of violence, perhaps beginning with their own abuse as a child and continuing into perpetration or victimization as an adult.   view more (2007-09-25)

Engineering all things bright and beautiful
The human and inspirational aspects of engineering are highlighted in a new series of posters being received this week by school science departments around the UK. The poster series, Shine, Sniff, Wave, Pulse, has been devised and funded by the School of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at... view more (2004-06-29)

Seismic response to natural gas anomalies in crystalline rocks
The research done at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences has shown that after geochemical experiments, the porosity of crystalline rocks in the middle crust increases sharply due to water-rock interaction.   view more (2008-11-05)

Visualizing atomic-scale acoustic wavesin nanostructures
Acoustic waves play many everyday roles - from communication between people to ultrasound imaging. Now the highest frequency acoustic waves in materials, with nearly atomic-scale wavelengths, promise to be useful probes of nanostructures such as LED lights.   view more (2008-07-07)

Lack of deep sleep may increase risk of type 2 diabetes
Suppression of slow-wave sleep in healthy young adults significantly decreases their ability to regulate blood-sugar levels and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.   view more (2008-01-02)

Huge waves from one storm slam coasts some 6000 km apart
Huge waves that struck Reunion Island and coastlines across Indonesia earlier this month all originated from the same storm that occurred south of Cape Town, South Africa, and were tracked across the entire Indian Ocean for some 10 000 kilometres over a nine-day period by ESA's Envisat satellite.   view more (2007-05-31)

Listening for the cosmic symphony: New SU supercomputer will help scientists listen for black holes
Scientists hope that a new supercomputer being built by Syracuse University's Department of Physics may help them identify the sound of a celestial black hole. The supercomputer, dubbed SUGAR (SU Gravitational and Relativity Cluster), will soon receive massive amounts of data from the California... view more (2008-02-11)

Slow-wave activity during sleep affected by quality, intensity of wakefulness
A study published in the February 1st issue of the journal SLEEP provides a first direct demonstration that the "quality" and "intensity" of wakefulness can affect slow-wave activity (SWA) during subsequent sleep.   view more (2007-02-01)

Mars 96: UK Involvement In The Russian Mission
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council had awarded more than £1/2 million funding for work by UK scientists involved in several of the MARS 96 mission's payload and systems. The largest UK contribution was from the Mullard Space Science Laboratory, led by Principal Investigator... view more (1996-11-18)

Genetic tests could define us all as patients
Genetic science could drive a new wave of medicalisation if genetics tests are accepted without appropriate evaluation, warn researchers in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2002-04-10)

Premature vascular and bone changes occur in COPD patients
Researchers in the United Kingdom have found that patients with COPD, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, have greater arterial stiffness.   view more (2007-06-18)

Light from wind and waves
Engineers of PROEKTSTROYSERVIS (Kaliningrad) know how to make the stormy sea work. They have designed a unique sea-based wind-and-wave plant, which allows to convert the energy of wind and waves into electricity. The plant is not afraid of any storms. In appearance, the entire construction is... view more (2003-08-22)

Mayo Clinic researchers discover cancer cells may move via wave stimulation
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new cellular secret that may explain how certain cancers move and spread - a feature of cancers that makes treatment especially difficult.   view more (2006-04-03)

On a Wire or in a Fiber, a Wave is a Wave
In an experiment modeled on the classic "Young's double slit experiment" and published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, researchers have powerfully reinforced the understanding that surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) propagate and diffract just like any other wave.   view more (2007-07-16)

Supernova birth seen for first time
Astronomers have seen the aftermath of spectacular stellar explosions known as supernovae before, but until now no one has witnessed a star dying in real time.   view more (2008-05-22)

Plymouth launches new power source on the crest of a wave!
A team of European small companies and universities has been working together for the past 2 years to find a new way to harness the power of the waves. The team, which has been co-ordinated by PEP* at the University of Plymouth, has now launched an experimental Wave Energy Device in Plymouth. The... view more (2001-03-29)

Projected California warming promises cycle of more heat waves, energy use for next century
As the 21st century progresses, major cities in heavily air-conditioned California can expect more frequent extreme-heat events because of climate change.   view more (2008-07-11)
