Particles as tracers for the most massive explosions in the Milky Way
Astronomers recently observed a mysterious flux of particles in the universe, and the hope was born that this may be the first observation of the remnants of "dark matter". view more (2009-08-11)
I'm forever imploding bubbles
The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) has developed the first sensor capable of measuring localized ultrasonic cavitation - the implosion of bubbles in a liquid when a high frequency sound wave is applied. view more (2009-04-07)
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 reminiscent of a float, UFO or the restaurant in the... 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)
That gut feeling may actually reflect a reliable memory
You know the feeling. You make a decision you're certain is merely a "lucky guess." A new study from Northwestern University offers precise electrophysiological evidence that such decisions may sometimes not be guesswork after all. view more (2009-02-09)
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 device, which is approximately 15ft in diameter and... 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)
Software-defined radio simplifies mobile phones
Mobile phones are getting more and more complicated. One reason is that a new radio is needed for each standard-GSM, 3G, and WLAN. A simpler solution, a radio that can be programmed to cover all standards, is now being developed at the Stringent Research Center at Linköping University in Sweden. "We have come up with three concepts... view more... (2004-04-19)
UK science minister inaugurates Star Tiger project
An innovative project known as Star Tiger was officially inaugurated at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire this week by Lord Sainsbury, Science and Innovation Minister for the UK. The Star Tiger concept puts together a highly motivated team with solid scientific background and gives them priority access to top-class laboratories... view more... (2002-07-02)
Charting the path of the deadly Ebola virus in central Africa
Over the past ten years, separate outbreaks of the deadly Zaire strain of Ebola virus (ZEBOV) have killed hundreds of humans and tens of thousands of great apes in Gabon and the Republic of Congo-which harbor roughly 80% of the last remaining wild gorilla and chimpanzee populations. view more (2005-10-25)
Deadly heat waves are becoming more frequent in California
From mid July to early August 2006, a heat wave swept through the southwestern United States. Temperature records were broken at many locations and unusually high humidity levels for this typically arid region led to the deaths of more than 600 people, 25,000 cattle and 70,000 poultry in California alone. view more (2009-08-26)
The math of deadly waves
When Walter Craig saw the images of the devastating 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami he felt compelled to act. So he grabbed a pencil and envelope and started calculating. view more (2006-02-21)
Cluster makes a shocking discovery
ESA's Cluster was in the right place and time to make a shocking discovery. The four spacecraft encountered a shock wave that kept breaking and reforming - predicted only in theory. view more (2007-05-15)
Researchers create a broadband light amplifier on a chip
Cornell researchers have created a broadband light amplifier on a silicon chip, a major breakthrough in the quest to create photonic microchips. In such microchips, beams of light traveling through microscopic waveguides will replace electric currents traveling through microscopic wires. view more (2006-07-07)
Toward cheaper imaging systems for identifying concealed weapons on the human body
Electrical engineers from UC San Diego have created high-performance W-Band silicon-germanium (SiGe) radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) for passive millimeter-wave imaging. view more (2009-06-09)
Individual differences in a clock gene predict decline of performance during sleep deprivation
People are known to differ markedly in their response to sleep deprivation, but the biological underpinnings of these differences have remained difficult to identify. view more (2007-03-09)
