Seismologist's project uses public's laptops to monitor and predict earthquakes
A simple idea for monitoring earthquakes that Elizabeth Cochran, a seismologist at UC Riverside, came up with in 2006 is being realized today, and has the potential to save lives in case an earthquake strikes.   view more (2008-04-03)

Bacterium sequenced makes rare form of chlorophyll
Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis and Arizona State University have sequenced the genome of a rare bacterium that harvests light energy by making an even rarer form of chlorophyll, chlorophyll d. Chlorophyll d absorbs "red edge," near infrared, long wave length light,... view more (2008-02-05)

Fruit flies and global warming - Some like it hot
Researchers working in Australia have discovered ways in which fruit flies might react to extreme fluctuations in temperature. Short-term exposure to high heat stress (heat hardening has been known to have negative effects on Drosophila.   view more (2007-01-29)

Hot peppers really do bring the heat
Chili peppers can do more than just make you feel hot, reports a study in the August 1 Journal of Biological Chemistry; the active chemical in peppers can directly induce thermogenesis, the process by which cells convert energy into heat.    view more (2008-08-07)

Toward world's smallest radio: nano-sized detector turns radio waves into music
Researchers report development of the world's first working radio system that receives radio waves wirelessly and converts them to sound signals through a nano-sized detector made of carbon nanotubes.   view more (2007-10-18)

Voyager 2 Proves the Solar System is Squashed
NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft has followed its twin Voyager 1 into the solar system's final frontier, a vast region at the edge of our solar system where the solar wind runs up against the thin gas between the stars.   view more (2007-12-11)

A new project to test a pioneering method to advance technology
Technological advances take place all the time – driven by need. But can these advances be speeded up in quantum leaps? The European Space Agency thinks they can, and is launching a pioneering project to test this.   view more (2002-03-27)

'Fireworks' Form Magnetic Ceramics
A new process that uses controlled 'fireworks' to produce designer magnetic ceramics has been developed by researchers working at University College London (UCL). The process could revolutionise the production of the magnetic ceramics that play a vital role in TVs, computers and on the back of... view more (1998-11-26)

A world novelty for an improved tsunami early warning
After completing their simulation component in the German-Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System (GITEWS), the team for tsunami modelling of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in the Helmholtz Association has presented the currently leading software system for tsunami... view more (2008-07-10)

Concern over new rules on mobile phones in hospitals
Restrictions were originally put in place because of concerns about patient safety. But a lack of evidence has led the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to propose a relaxation of restrictions.   view more (2006-10-16)

Electron pairs precede high-temperature superconductivity
Like astronomers tweaking images to gain a more detailed glimpse of distant stars, physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory have found ways to sharpen images of the energy spectra in high-temperature superconductors - materials that carry electrical current... view more (2008-11-06)

Discovered: World's Largest Tsunami Debris
A line of massive boulders on the western shore of Tonga may be evidence of the most powerful volcano-triggered tsunami found to date. Up to 9 meters (30 feet) high and weighing up to 1.6 million kilograms (3.5 million pounds), the seven coral boulders are located 100 to 400 meters (300 to 1,300... view more (2008-09-26)

Stanford researchers hear the sound of quantum drums
Forty years ago, mathematician Mark Kac asked the theoretical question, "Can one hear the shape of a drum?"   view more (2008-02-11)

New look at DNA hints at origin of ultraviolet damage
Chemists at Ohio State University have gained new insight into how sunlight affects DNA. And what they found overturns ideas about genetic mutation that originated decades ago.   view more (2005-08-25)

A new window on the universe
Using new tools to look at the universe, says Patrick Brady, often has led to discoveries that change the course of science. History is full of examples.   view more (2007-11-16)

Laser-induced shocks in diamond anvil can achieve pressures inside supergiant planets
Combining diamond anvils and powerful lasers, laboratory researchers have developed a technique that should be able to squeeze materials to pressures 100 to 1,000 times greater than possible today, reproducing conditions expected in the cores of supergiant planets.   view more (2007-05-03)

Promise shown for data encryption and data storage using holograms
The rapidly developing digital age demands greater processing power, data storage and data encryption for computer based technologies. Recent developments point towards optical information processing as a great leap forward.   view more (2006-03-28)

Measure the speed of light using Milky Way Stars®
Nothing travels faster than light - it only takes 8 minutes for it to reach the Earth from the nearest star, the Sun, which is 150 million kilometres away. Now anyone can measure this speed - with chocolate stars and a microwave oven! The experiment is described on a new Institute of Physics web... view more (2003-01-27)

Cognitive behavioral therapy appears more effective than sleep medication for treating insomnia
Patients with insomnia who implemented cognitive behavioral therapy interventions such as relaxation techniques had greater improvement in their sleep than patients who received the sleep medication zopiclone.   view more (2006-06-28)

Children with Asperger syndrome more likely to have sleep problems
The first known attempt to evaluate the sleep patterns of children with Asperper Syndrome (AS), taking into account sleep architecture and the cyclic alternating pattern (CAP), finds that children with AS have a high prevalence of some sleep disorders and mainly problems related to initiating sleep... view more (2007-11-01)

Sounding the alarm for infections: EMBL researchers discover rapid-response, interferon-producing cells
Nearly fifty years ago, researchers discovered that when cells in laboratory cultures are infected by a virus, they secrete a substance that protects other cells from infection. In 1957 Alick Issaks and Jean-Jacques Lindenmann traced this effect to a protein called interferon, a molecule now known... view more (2002-02-15)

Powerful Nearby Supernova Caught By Web
One of the nearest supernovas in the last 25 years has been identified over a decade after it exploded. This result was made possible by combining data from the vast online archives from many of the world's premier telescopes.   view more (2008-09-26)

Research shows brain injury may occur within one millisecond after head hits car windshield
Research by a Sandia National Laboratories engineer and a University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center neurologist shows that brain injury may occur within one millisecond after a human head is thrust into a windshield as a result of a car accident.   view more (2006-11-08)
