Rip currents pose greater risk to swimmers than to shoreline
Rip currents-powerful, channeled currents of water flowing away from the shore-represent a danger to human life and property. view more (2009-10-14)
Mantis shrimps could show us the way to a better DVD
The remarkable eyes of a marine crustacean could inspire the next generation of DVD and CD players, according to a new study from the University of Bristol published today in Nature Photonics. view more (2009-10-26)
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)
Nanoscopic changes to pancreatic cells reveal cancer
A team of researchers in Chicago has developed a way to examine cell biopsies and detect never-before-seen signs of early-stage pancreatic cancer, according to a new paper in the Optical Society (OSA) journal Optics Letters. view more (2009-02-13)
Cardiff researchers could herald a new era in fundamental physics
Cardiff University researchers who are part of a British-German team searching the depths of space to study gravitational waves, may have stumbled on one of the most important discoveries in physics according to an American physicist. view more (2009-02-04)
UT Southwestern researchers identify molecule that helps the sleep-deprived to mentally rebound
Sleep experts know that the mental clarity lost because of a few sleepless nights can often be restored with a good night's rest. Now, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a key molecular mechanism that regulates the brain's ability to mentally compensate for sleep deprivation. view more (2009-02-24)
NIAID scientists study past flu pandemics for clues to future course of 2009 H1N1 virus
A commonly held belief that severe influenza pandemics are preceded by a milder wave of illness arose because some accounts of the devastating flu pandemic of 1918-19 suggested that it may have followed such a pattern. view more (2009-08-12)
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 the University of Southampton, and uses arresting... view more...

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)
LLNL research reveals how blast waves may cause human brain injury even without direct head impacts
New research on the effects of blast waves could lead to an enhanced understanding of head injuries and improved military helmet design. view more (2009-08-27)
Shifting sound to light may lead to better computer chips
By reversing a process that converts electrical signals into sounds heard out of a cell phone, researchers may have a new tool to enhance the way computer chips, LEDs and transistors are built. view more (2009-03-17)
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 Institute of Technology (Caltech) that was collected... view more...

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 Professor Alan Johnstone. Mullard designed and... view more... (1996-11-18)
Scientists find solution to solar puzzle
Scientists from the University of Sheffield and Queen's University Belfast have made a unique discovery which will help us understand one of the most puzzling features of the Sun. view more (2009-03-23)
