Astronomers find record-old cosmic explosion
Using the powerful one-two combo of NASA's Swift satellite and the Gemini Observatory, astronomers from a number of institutions, including Johns Hopkins, have detected a mysterious type of cosmic explosion farther back in time than ever before. view more (2008-01-10)
Hubble maps the changing constellation of Internet 'black holes'
You're trying to log on to a Web site and it's not working. You try again and again. But persistence doesn't pay off. The site you want is inexplicably, frustratingly, out of reach. view more (2008-04-09)
UK astronomers take control of the time domain
Although there are numerous telescopes - both large and small - examining the night sky at any one time, the heavens are so vast and so densely populated with all manner of exotic objects that it is extremely easy to overlook a significant random event. Fortunately, a new generation of scientific instruments is now enabling UK astronomers to... view more... (2004-02-09)
Evidence for ultra-energetic particles in jet from black hole
An international team of astronomers led by researchers at Yale has obtained key infrared observations that reveal the nature of quasar particle jets that originate just outside super-massive black holes at the center of galaxies and radiate across the spectrum from radio to X-ray wavelengths. view more (2006-06-21)
Black women with uterine cancers more likely to die than white patients
Black women with cancers of the uterus are less likely to survive the disease than white women, and relatively little progress has been made over the past two decades to narrow this racial difference. That is the conclusion of a new study published in the March 15, 2009 issue of CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. view more (2009-02-09)
Opening Up the Dark Side of the Universe
Physicists in the UK are ready to start construction of a major part of an advanced new experiment, designed to search for elusive gravitational waves. They are already part of two experiments: the UK/German GEO 600 project and the US LIGO experiment (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory), both in their commissioning phases. By... view more... (2003-09-10)
Radio telescopes extend astronomy's best 'yardstick'
Radio astronomers have directly measured the distance to a faraway galaxy, providing a valuable "yardstick" for calibrating large astronomical distances and demonstrating a vital method that could help determine the elusive nature of the mysterious Dark Energy that pervades the Universe. view more (2009-06-09)
Antarctic forecast: premature break-up of ozone hole this week
Based on satellite data from the European Space Agency, the national meteorological centre of the Netherlands predicts the Antarctic ozone hole will break apart this week, months earlier than usual. A scientist at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) adds that the depth of the ozone hole is much smaller than previously seen.... view more... (2002-09-23)
Integral - tracking extreme radiation across the Universe
INFO 8-2002. Integral is the International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory of the European Space Agency. It is a cooperative mission with Russia and is scheduled for launch on 17 October 2002 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, on a Russian Proton rocket, the Russian contribution to the programme. It is the world`s most advanced... view more... (2002-10-02)
Green, black tea can reduce stroke risk
Drinking at least three cups of green or black tea a day can significantly reduce the risk of stroke, a new UCLA study has found. And the more you drink, the better your odds of staving off a stroke. view more (2009-02-23)
NASA's Fermi Mission, Namibia's HESS Telescopes Explore a Blazar
An international team of astrophysicists using telescopes on the ground and in space have uncovered surprising changes in radiation emitted by an active galaxy. view more (2009-03-19)
Some ethnic groups more susceptible to adverse drug reactions
Some ethnic groups may be more susceptible to adverse drug reactions, finds a study published on bmj.com today. view more (2006-05-05)
From black box to optimized plant
In times gone by, something complex as a steam engine was hardly understood by amateurs. They perceived it as a black box and thought it should simply work. There are basic similarities in today's factory planning and plant design: Something goes in at one end in a continuous flow (steam, wood chips, milk) and something comes out at the other end... view more...

Antarctic plants repair themselves
Dutch researchers funded by NWO have studied the effects of the hole in the ozone layer on the vegetation in Antarctica. The repair mechanisms of lichens and mosses appear to be effective even at low temperatures. Nevertheless, the ecology of the Antarctic is still under threat. The rise in temperature caused by the greenhouse effect is doing... view more... (2001-11-26)
Obesity may keep some women from getting screened for breast, cervical cancer
A review of cancer screening studies shows that white women who are obese are less likely than healthy weight women to get the recommended screenings for breast and cervical cancer, according to researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Public Health. view more (2008-03-25)
First worldwide analysis of cancer survival finds wide variation between countries
Cancer survival varies widely between countries according to a worldwide study published online today in Lancet Oncology.* More than 100 investigators contributed to the study. view more (2008-07-17)
`Racial bias` challenge to universities
Strong evidence that the UK`s older universities may be biased against black and minority applicants has emerged in a new study of entry into higher education by Michael Shiner of Goldsmiths College, University of London and Professor Tariq Modood of Bristol University. view more (2002-06-24)
Coal and black liquor can produce energy from papermaking
Adding a little coal and processing the papermaking industry's black liquor waste into synthesis gas is a better choice than burning it for heat, improves the carbon footprint of coal-to-liquid processes, and can produce a fuel versatile enough to run a cooking stove or a truck, according to a team of Penn state engineers. view more (2007-08-21)
Study links education to risk of cancer death
A new American Cancer Society study finds having at least some education beyond high school is associated with a decreased risk of cancer death. view more (2007-09-12)
Goddard-Led GEMS Mission to Explore the Polarized Universe
An exciting new astrophysics mission led by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., will provide a revolutionary window into the universe. Named the Gravity and Extreme Magnetism Small Explorer (GEMS), the satellite will be the first to systematically measure the polarization of cosmic X-ray sources. view more (2009-08-05)
