Envisat making first direct measurements of ocean surface velocities
For more than a decade space-based radar instruments have been routinely observing ocean surface phenomena including wind, waves, oil slicks, even the eyes of hurricanes.   view more (2006-03-29)

Pitt researchers create new form of matter
Physicists at the University of Pittsburgh have demonstrated a new form of matter that melds the characteristics of lasers with those of the world's best electrical conductors.   view more (2007-05-21)

Significant new method developed for characterizing density wave features
In a paper published in The Astronomical Journal (133:2584-2606, June 2007) Dr. Xiaolei Zhang, of the Naval Research Laboratory, and Dr. Ronald J. Buta, of the University of Alabama, report that they have developed an accurate and widely-applicable method for characterizing density wave features in... view more (2007-07-10)

Quantum coherence possible in incommensurate electronic systems
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have demonstrated that quantum coherence is possible in electronic systems that are incommensurate, thereby removing one obstacle in the development of quantum devices.   view more (2006-11-03)

Touching outlawed by hands-free monitor - Photon02
A Loughborough University research team, led by Professor Peter Smith and Vincent Crabtree, has developed a way of monitoring the blood flowing in human body tissue without actually touching the skin. This hands-free technique could one day be used to assess patients during surgery and monitor the... view more (2002-08-30)

Europe could ride the wave of Ocean Energy
Up to 20 million homes in Europe could be powered by clean renewable energy from the sea, according to ocean energy expert Teresa Pontes of Portugal, who was speaking at the EurOCEAN marine science and policy event in Galway today (12th May). She estimated that, by harnessing energy from waves and... view more (2004-05-12)

Worming a way into 'pleasurable' endoscopy
Endoscopy can be a deeply uncomfortable experience. Improving matters, BIOLOCH researchers are attempting to apply the motion techniques used by lower animal forms to endoscopy technology to develop a prototype capable of 'pulling' itself into a patient's internals, rather than being pushed as it... view more (2004-12-08)

Living coral reefs provide better protection from tsunami waves
Healthy coral reefs provide their adjacent coasts with substantially more protection from destructive tsunami waves than do unhealthy or dead reefs, a Princeton University study suggests.   view more (2006-12-19)

Thinking about moving? Let brain waves do the walking
Using brain waves to control screen cursor movements, rather than moving a mouse by hand, seems like science fiction! Yet such direct control over our environment is an integral part of the development work being undertaken by participants in the Presencia project.   view more (2004-12-02)

Mountain winds may create atmospheric hotspots
Rapidly fluctuating wind gusts blowing over mountains and hills can create "hotspots" high in the atmosphere and significantly affect regional air temperatures.   view more (2005-10-18)

Coral reefs are increasingly vulnerable to angry oceans
Size and shape may predict the survival of corals around the world when the weather churns the oceans in the years to come, according to a new model that relies on engineering principles.   view more (2006-11-27)

Scientists identify origin of hiss in upper atmosphere
Scientists have solved a 40-year-old puzzle by identifying the origin of the intense radio waves in the Earth's upper atmosphere that control the dynamics of the Van Allen radiation belts - belts consisting of high-energy electrons that can damage satellites and spacecraft and pose a risk to... view more (2008-03-06)

1843 stellar eruption may be new type of star explosion
Eta Carinae, the galaxy's biggest, brightest and perhaps most studied star after the sun, has been keeping a secret: Its giant outbursts appear to be driven by an entirely new type of stellar explosion that is fainter than a typical supernova and does not destroy the star.   view more (2008-09-11)

ESC Congress 2003: 6 months result of a non-polymeric paclitaxel eluting stent in high-risk lesions
IMPORTANT: This press release accompanies both a presentation and an ESC press conference given at the ESC Congress 2003. Written by the investigator himself/herself, this press release does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the European Society of Cardiology ESC Congress 2003: Hot Line II -... view more (2003-09-01)

Focusing ultrasound in the skull holds promise for brain tumour treatments
A new, reliable way of focusing ultrasound waves inside the human skull that could enable tumours deep inside the brain to be eradicated is described in a research paper published today in the Institute of Physics journal Physics in Medicine and Biology.   view more (2002-04-02)

NIST atom interferometry displays new quantum tricks
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated a novel way of making atoms interfere with each other, recreating a famous experiment originally done with light while also making the atoms do things that light just won't do.   view more (2007-05-29)

Modelling To Develop European Sand Dredging Guidelines
Computer predictions of the effects of commercial sea-sand dredging on coastal erosion, produced by an international team headed by Dr Alan Davies of the University of Wales, Bangor`s School of Ocean Sciences, will play a key role in developing new European Guidelines for siting commercial sand... view more (2002-08-07)

Wanted: innovative minds for Star Tiger
ESA is looking for 10 scientists to participate in Star Tiger, a new approach for conducting research and development (R&D) which aims to achieve a quantum increase in a promising technology within a short period of time. Bring together a small group of highly motivated researchers, grant them... view more (2002-04-02)

25 Seconds for Bucharest
The value of EWS for hazards with long warning times such as tsunamis, volcanic activities, tornadoes is undisputed. In case of earthquakes, warning times are fairly small, ranging from seconds to a maximum of about one minute for Mexico City. However, even a small time window can provide... view more (1998-11-11)

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... view more (2008-06-19)

Researchers rely on Newton's interference for new experiment
Most people think of Sir Isaac Newton as the father of gravity. But for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Henry Chapman and his colleagues, Newton's "dusty mirror" experiment served as a launching pad for them to keenly watch the X-ray induced explosion of microscopic... view more (2007-08-09)

Physicists produce quantum-entangled images
Using a convenient and flexible method for creating twin light beams, researchers at the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) of the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Maryland have produced "quantum images," pairs of... view more (2008-06-13)

UCLA engineering researchers capture optical 'rogue waves'
Maritime folklore tells tales of giant "rogue waves" that can appear and disappear without warning in the open ocean. Also known as "freak waves," these ominous monsters have been described by mariners for ages and have even appeared prominently in many legendary literary works,... view more (2007-12-13)

Metal deformation studies lead to new understanding of materials at extreme conditions
By combining very large-scale molecular dynamics simulations with time-resolved data from laser experiments of shock wave propagation through specific metals, scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are now able to better understand the evolution of high-strain-rate plasticity.   view more (2006-09-19)
