Low-risk balloon trip to the heart
Patients who are at high-risk of having a heart attack or who require a bypass must undergo a coronary angiography. A new balloon catheter, being presented at the MEDTEC exhibition, allows this to be done more swiftly, more easily and with less risk than previous examinations. Calcium and... view more (2002-03-05)

Overfishing large sharks impacts entire marine ecosystem, shrinks shellfish supply
Fewer big sharks in the oceans mean that bay scallops and other shellfish may be harder to find at the market, according to an article in the March 30 issue of the journal Science, tying two unlikely links in the food web to the same fate.   view more (2007-03-30)

Hotter than expected neutron star surfaces help explain superburst frequency
A new theoretical thermometer built from heavy-duty mathematics and computer code suggests that the surfaces of certain neutron stars run significantly hotter than previously expected. Hot enough, in fact, to at least partially answer an open question in astrophysics — how to explain the... view more (2007-04-16)

ThruVision secures £0.75m investment to develop compact security imaging technology
ThruVision Ltd, a new spinout company from the CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Oxfordshire, UK, secures £0.75 million investment from Circus Capital and Rainbow Seed Fund to accelerate development of its terahertz imager products. With this boost in funding a technology that... view more (2004-06-16)

Integral identifies supernova rate for Milky Way
Using ESA's Integral observatory, an international team of researchers has been able to confirm the production of radioactive aluminium (Al 26) in massive stars and supernovae throughout our galaxy and determine the rate of supernovae-one of its key parameters.   view more (2006-01-09)

Biggest ever Gamma Ray search starts in Namibia
The world's most sensitive Gamma Ray telescopes are being inaugurated in Namibia (in Southwest Africa) on September 3rd. The High Energy Stereoscopic System (H.E.S.S.), a European/African collaboration in which the UK is a partner, will look for Gamma Rays produced by the most energetic particles... view more (2002-08-28)

ESA's XMM-Newton makes the first measurement of a dead star's magnetism
Using the superior sensitivity of ESA's X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton, a team of European astronomers has made the first direct measurement of a neutron star's magnetic field. The results provide deep insights into the extreme physics of neutron stars and reveal a new mystery yet to be solved... view more (2003-06-11)

MIT creates 3-D images of living cell
A new imaging technique developed at MIT has allowed scientists to create the first 3D images of a living cell, using a method similar to the X-ray CT scans doctors use to see inside the body.   view more (2007-08-13)

Supernova Imposter Goes Supernova
In a galaxy far, far away, a massive star suffered a nasty double whammy. On Oct. 20, 2004, Japanese amateur astronomer Koichi Itagaki saw the star let loose an outburst so bright that it was initially mistaken for a supernova. The star survived, but for only two years. On Oct. 11, 2006,... view more (2007-04-05)

Distant black holes may be source of high-energy cosmic rays
Breakthrough astrophysics research may have established the hitherto mysterious source of exceptionally high-energy cosmic ray emissions, according to recently published research that culminates a project developed by a scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory.   view more (2007-11-12)

New explosive-detection equipment set to revolutionise air safety
University of Leeds physicists have developed equipment to detect hidden explosives that could soon revolutionise air safety and anti-terrorism measures worldwide. The pioneering apparatus is cheaper and thousands of times more powerful than anything currently available - it can detect the... view more (1999-01-20)

Researchers solve first structure of a key to intact DNA inheritance
Researchers have solved the structure of a DNA-protein complex that is crucial in the spread of antibiotic resistance among bacteria. Knowing this structure also provides fundamental insight into how cells successfully divide into two new cells with intact DNA.   view more (2007-12-21)

LHC switch-on fears are completely unfounded
A new report published on Friday, 5 September, provides the most comprehensive evidence available to confirm that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC)'s switch-on, due on Wednesday next week, poses no threat to mankind. Nature's own cosmic rays regularly produce more powerful particle collisions than... view more (2008-09-08)

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)

Mysterious cosmic rays linked to galactic powerhouses
The sprawling Auger Cosmic Ray Observatory in South America has produced its first major discovery while still under construction.   view more (2007-11-09)

Is the Universe older than expected?
An analysis of 13.5 thousand million-year-old X-rays, captured by ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, has shown that either the Universe may be older than astronomers had thought or that mysterious, undiscovered 'iron factories' litter the early Universe. ESA`s Norbert Schartel and colleagues from the... view more (2002-07-10)

Thermal treatment for magneto-resistant materials design
Reader heads of compact discs and computer hard discs or position and magnetic field sensors are some of the applications of magneto-resistant materials, which are normally obtained by costly methods. Precisely in order to solve this problem, university teacher Mar'­a Luisa Fern'ˇndez-Gubieda Ruiz,... view more (2003-07-09)

Study finds two supermassive black holes spiraling toward collision
A pair of supermassive black holes in the distant universe are intertwined and spiraling toward a merger that will create a single super-supermassive black hole capable of swallowing billions of stars.   view more (2006-04-06)

The Mouse That Roared: Pipsqueak Star Unleashes Monster Flare
On April 25, NASA's Swift satellite picked up the brightest flare ever seen from a normal star other than our Sun. The flare, an explosive release of energy from a star, packed the power of thousands of solar flares. It would have been visible to the naked eye if the star had been easily observable... view more (2008-05-20)
