New study finds obese women more impulsive than other females
A new study in the November issue of the journal Appetite finds that obese women display significantly weaker impulse control than normal-weight women, but between obese and normal-weight men, the impulsivity levels are nearly the same.   view more (2008-11-11)

First Look at an Enzyme Target for Antibacterial and Cancer Drugs
The veil has finally been lifted on an enzyme that is critical to the process of DNA transcription and replication, and is a prime target of antibacterial and anticancer drugs.   view more (2007-12-21)

Pocket-sized magnetic resonance imaging
The term "MRI scan" brings to mind the gigantic, expensive machines that are installed in hospitals. But research scientists have now developed small portable MRI scanners that perform their services in the field: for instance to examine ice cores.    view more (2008-07-09)

Daresbury's 4GLS project gets green light and international support
Daresbury's 4GLS (fourth generation light source) project has been given the green light to go ahead to the next stage of the government's gateway process following successful scientific peer review. In a further development, the US Jefferson Laboratory has demonstrated its strong support for the... view more (2002-05-28)

ABCB6 is key to production of heme in hemoglobin
Investigators at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have discovered that a protein called ABCB6 plays a central role in production of a molecule that is key to the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen, of liver cells to break down toxins, and of cells to extract energy from nutrients.   view more (2006-09-29)

New research shows how aging brain brings a healthy dose of perspective
A University of Alberta researcher in collaboration with researchers from Duke University has proven that wisdom really does come with age, at least when it comes to your emotions.   view more (2008-06-13)

Building blocks of the future
Structure and properties of carbon nanostructures The discovery in 1985 of fullerenes, tiny carbon balls of nanometer dimensions, ushered in a new era in international science. Only a few years later (1991) scientific interest also started to focus on so-called carbon nanotubes. The discovery of... view more (2002-12-05)

Seeing magnetic fields
It has long been known that migratory birds can make use of the earth's magnetic fields to navigate. Birds read the angle that magnetic fields create on the ground and thereby determine how far north or south they are of the magnetic equator and the magnetic pole. But how do they do this? Is there... view more (2004-02-23)

University of Pennsylvania engineers discover natural 'workbench' for nanoscale construction
Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have taken a step toward simplifying the creation of nanostructures by identifying the first inorganic material to phase separate with near-perfect order at the nanometer scale.   view more (2007-07-18)

World Record Plasma Discharge in Tore Supra
On July 30th 2002, the engineers and scientists of the Association Euratom-CEA in Cadarache (France) have achieved a three and a half minutes long plasma discharge on Tore Supra, sustained by 3MW of current drive power, thus requiring to exhaust more than 600 Megajoules of thermal energy during the... view more (2002-08-02)

What happens in Vegas? Place as a risk factor for suicide
Every day 85 Americans die by suicide and hundreds of thousands more make attempts every year. The vast majority of recent studies on suicide have focused on identifying psychiatric risk factors.   view more (2008-11-12)
