Back to basics: Scientists discover a fundamental mechanism for cell organization
Scientists have discovered that cells use a very simple phase transition -- similar to water vapor condensing into dew -- to assemble and localize subcellular structures that are involved in formation of the embryo. view more (2009-05-22)
Syracuse University researchers build new surface material that resists biofilm growth; new technology may lead to development of improved medical implants
This is the tale of two biological substances-cells from mammals and bacteria. It's a story about the havoc these microscopic entities can wreak on all manner of surfaces, from mighty ships to teeth and medical devices, and how two Syracuse University researchers are discovering new ways to prevent the damage. view more (2009-03-20)
Vehicle poised to advance exploration on Mars
Pioneering research carried out by Kingston University is helping to pave the way for a manned mission to Mars. A project team based at the University's School of Engineering has developed a robotic micro-rover to travel the Martian surface to find out whether humans could live in the Red Planet's hostile environment. Named Endurance, the small... view more... (2003-05-01)
Boston University scientists develop new application to characterize structure of DNA molecules
A team of researchers from Boston University has developed a new application to enable more precise measurement of the location of a fluorescent label in a DNA layer. view more (2006-03-01)
Water vapor feedback is rapidly warming Europe
A new report indicates that the vast majority of the rapid temperature increase recently observed in Europe is likely due to an unexpected greenhouse gas: water vapor. view more (2005-11-09)
Virtual biopsy cuts out need for diagnostic surgery
A non-invasive diagnostic tool to detect surface cancers quickly and painlessly using technology currently employed by gyms to calculate body composition has been developed by a QUT PhD medical physics researcher. view more (2008-01-18)
No Small Measure: Origins of Nanorod Diameter Discovered
A new study answers a key question at the very heart of nanotechnology: Why are nanorods so small? view more (2009-03-20)
Small optical force can budge nanoscale objects
With a bit of leverage, Cornell researchers have used a very tiny beam of light with as little as 1 milliwatt of power to move a silicon structure up to 12 nanometers. That's enough to completely switch the optical properties of the structure from opaque to transparent, they reported. view more (2009-11-18)
Humans do not understand mirror reflections, say researchers
Psychologists at the University of Liverpool have found that people still find it difficult to understand how mirrors work. view more (2005-12-22)
Cassini flies by Saturn's tortured moon Mimas
On its recent close flyby of Mimas (MY-muss), the Cassini spacecraft found the Saturnian moon looking battered and bruised, with a surface that may be the most heavily cratered in the Saturn system. view more (2005-08-08)
The Radar Search For Martian Water
Until the last few years, Mars has been regarded as a cold, arid world that lost most of its water long ago. However, recent observations by NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey spacecraft have provided tantalising evidence that huge amounts of water may be hidden just below the surface. Now, a powerful new instrument is poised to probe... view more... (2003-04-01)
New study of solar system speculates about life on other planets
A comprehensive review by leading scientists about our Solar System which speculates on the possibility of life on other planets has been published. view more (2006-09-13)
Time of conception linked to birth defects in United States
A study published in the April 2009 issue of the medical journal Acta Pædiatrica is the first to report that birth defect rates in the United States were highest for women conceiving in the spring and summer. The researchers also found that this period of increase risk correlated with increased levels of pesticides in surface water across the... view more... (2009-03-31)
CU-Boulder space scientists set for second spacecraft flyby of Mercury
NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft, which is toting an $8.7 million University of Colorado at Boulder instrument to measure Mercury's wispy atmosphere and blistering surface, will make its second flyby of the mysterious, rocky planet Oct. 6. view more (2008-10-01)
Greenland's rising air temperatures drive ice loss at surface and beyond
A new NASA study confirms that the surface temperature of Greenland's massive ice sheet has been rising, stoked by warming air temperatures, and fueling loss of the island's ice at the surface and throughout the mass beneath. view more (2008-02-21)
Making bacteria make useful proteins
By adapting a single protein on the surface of the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, researchers at the University of British Columbia have turned it into a protein production factory, making useful proteins that can act as vaccines and drugs. view more (2009-09-08)
Water theory is watertight, researchers say
There may be tiny bubbles in the wine, but not at the interface between water and a waxy coating on glass, a new study shows. view more (2007-01-18)
Polarization holographic device using photoreactive polymer liquid crystals
Photo-control of molecular orientation of polymer materials is of great interest for the development of highly functionalized holographic optical devices. view more (2005-10-19)
Deep Organ Image MR Scan Development
Oxford Researchers have developed a new, simple, design of accessory MR surface coil which significantly enhances the quality and clarity of deep organ MRI images. A new design of magnetic resonance imaging surface coil has been developed in which the location, size and improved homogeneity of the magnetic field within the, so called, "sweet... view more...

NASA's QuikScat and Aqua providing important data on Tropical Storm Anja
Anja has continued to weaken over the last 24 hours, and NASA's QuikScat satellite has confirmed that the once mighty Category 4 Cyclone is now a tropical storm in the southern Indian Ocean. view more (2009-11-19)
