ASU scientist: Study of first wave of swine flu requires revised public health strategies
There is no way to know how the newest strain of the H1N1 influenza virus will behave in the future. But scientists, notably those working at the intersections of epidemiology, mathematics, modeling and statistics, are monitoring it closely to identify anomalies on its pattern of spread while evaluating ways of mitigating its impact. view more (2009-06-30)
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 dredging activities. Increased demand for North Sea... view more... (2002-08-07)

Mystery of bat with an extraordinary nose solved
A research paper co-written by a Virginia Tech faculty member explains a 60-year mystery behind a rare bat's nose that is unusually large for its species. view more (2009-07-08)
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 opportunities to automatically trigger measures such as... view more... (1998-11-11)

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 objects. view more (2007-08-09)
Caltech scientists reveal how neuronal activity is timed in brain's memory-making circuits
Theta oscillations are a type of prominent brain rhythm that orchestrates neuronal activity in the hippocampus, a brain area critical for the formation of new memories. view more (2009-06-01)
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 information-rich visual patterns whose features are... view more...

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, from Homer's "Odyssey" to... view more...

Penn Biologists Demonstrate that Size Matters-in Snail Shells
A team of biologists at the University of Pennsylvania has completed a research study begun in 1915 and determined that a snail making its home in the northwest Atlantic Ocean around Mount Desert Island, Me., has experienced a dramatic increase in the size of its shell during less than a century, providing a clear illustration of how fast and... view more...

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)
New flat flexible speakers might even help you catch planes & trains
A groundbreaking new loudspeaker, less than 0.25mm thick, has been developed by University of Warwick engineers, it's flat, flexible, could be hung on a wall like a picture, and its particular method of sound generation could make public announcements in places like passenger terminals clearer, crisper, and easier to hear. view more (2009-04-01)
Infrared Echoes Give NASA's Spitzer a Supernova Flashback
Hot spots near the shattered remains of an exploded star are echoing the blast's first moments, say scientists using data from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. view more (2008-10-02)
COES professor's 'metamaterials' research lands cover of international journal
Dr. Dentcho Genov, an assistant professor of physics and electrical engineering at Louisiana Tech University and a Louisiana Optical Network Initiative (LONI) Institute fellow, is featured on the cover of the most recent issue of Nature Physics, one of the most respected and prestigious physics journals in the world. view more (2009-09-11)
Plant Tomogram
New methods have emerged lately that allow to examine images of a living tissue without cutting it off an animal or a plant. The most advanced of them is the optical coherent tomography (OCT) method. The OCT device has been built and tried on plants by scientists from Nizhni Novgorod. Living tissues are turbid. They are almost impervious to the... view more... (2004-03-02)
First North American antenna enables the ALMA Observatory to do its thing
Astronomers today celebrated the formal acceptance of the first North American antenna by the Joint ALMA Observatory. ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, is a gathering armada of short-wavelength radio telescopes whose combined power will enable astronomers to probe with unprecedented sharpness phenomena and regions that are... view more...

Turning wind turbines into rain-making machines
MAKING rain sounds outlandish, and maybe it is. But audacious ideas are nothing new to Stephen Salter. If the wave-power pioneer thinks he can solve the world`s worsening water shortage by turning wind turbines into rain-making machines, there are plenty of people who`ll listen to him. Salter, an... view more... (2002-05-23)
Ultra-Useful Ultrasound Causing A Stir In Materials Science
As the molecules are manipulated by the sound wave, tiny cavities are formed and destroyed inside the material that release high levels of energy when they implode, causing chemical or physical reactions to occur. Sonochemistry is already proving a useful tool and is being applied commercially in the former Soviet Union in the casting process and... view more... (1999-02-03)
First tunable, 'noiseless' amplifier may boost quantum computing, communications
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and JILA, a joint institute of NIST and the University of Colorado (CU) at Boulder, have made the first tunable "noiseless" amplifier. view more (2008-10-16)
