Ultra-Intense Laser Blast Creates True 'Black Metal'
"Black gold" is not just an expression anymore. Scientists at the University of Rochester have created a way to change the properties of almost any metal to render it, literally, black. view more (2006-11-22)
Stellar birth control in the early universe
An international team of astronomers based at Yale and Leiden University in The Netherlands found that "old stars" dominated many large galaxies in the early universe, raising the new question of why these galaxies progressed into "adulthood" so early in the life of the universe. view more (2006-10-02)

Radiologists and engineers develop a modified catheter to reduce contrast material injuries
Though rare, IV contrast material administration can sometimes result in patient injury. However researchers have developed a modified catheter that may prevent such events from occurring. view more (2009-09-21)
Geological reasons of ozone layer destruction
The modern science admits that the ozone concentration in the stratosphere is diminishing. This process has been fixing since the middle of 1980s. "The most popular hypothesis about technogenic freon that destroys the ozone layer is quite vulnerable", - said Dr. of geology Vladimir Sivorotkin who studies the problem of the ozone layer for ten... view more...

African-American teens' perceptions of racial discrimination
A three-year study of African American youths' perceptions of racial discrimination has found that many Black teens consider themselves victims of racial discrimination, and these perceptions are linked to how they feel about being Black, particularly their views of how the broader society sees African Americans. view more (2009-04-29)
A Class Of Their Own
This year sees the 50th anniversary of the decision by the American Supreme Court to end racial segregation in schools in the Southern states. As Black History Month gets underway, one researcher, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB) is preparing to shed new light on a relatively neglected area of social history, and prove that... view more...

High-energy particles from violent black holes travel to Earth
Ultra-high-energy particles from just outside enormous, active black holes in nearby galaxies travel as far as 250 million light years to make it all the way to Earth, an international team of 400 physicists and astronomers from 17 countries reports in the Nov. 9 issue of the journal Science. view more (2007-11-12)
Rare radio supernova in nearby galaxy is nearest supernova in five years
The chance discovery last month of a rare radio supernova - an exploding star seen only at radio wavelengths and undetected by optical or X-ray telescopes - underscores the promise of new, more sensitive radio surveys to find supernovas hidden by gas and dust. view more (2009-05-28)
Watching a Cannibal Galaxy Dine
A new technique using near-infrared images, obtained with ESO's 3.58-metre New Technology Telescope (NTT), allows astronomers to see through the opaque dust lanes of the giant cannibal galaxy Centaurus A, unveiling its "last meal" in unprecedented detail - a smaller spiral galaxy, currently twisted and warped. view more (2009-11-23)
