Seeing through tooth decay
Dental caries afflict at least 90% of the world's population at some time in their lives. Detecting the first signs of this disease, which can be lethal in extreme cases, just got easier thanks to work by researchers in India discussed in the latest issue of the International Journal of Biomedical... view more (2008-08-25)

Jekyll-Hyde neutron star discovered by researchers
Like something out of a Robert Louis Stevenson novel, researchers at NASA and McGill University discovered an otherwise normal pulsar which violently transformed itself temporarily into a magnetar, a stellar metamorphosis never observed before.   view more (2008-02-22)

Impetus for TESLA
"DESY welcomes the rapid and trend-setting statement of the Federal Government on the large-scale research facilities and sees it as a tremendous chance for TESLA," said the Chairman of the DESY Directorate, Professor Albrecht Wagner in a first reaction. "The possibility to realize the TESLA X-ray... view more (2003-02-05)

Stress management: X-rays reveal Si thin-film defects
Pile-ups, bad on the freeway, also are a hazard for the makers of high-performance strained-silicon (Si) semiconductor devices.   view more (2006-07-10)

Ultrasound researchers make no bones about their work
REF: 99/12 29 JANUARY 1999   view more (1999-05-26)

Jupiter: A cloudy mirror for the Sun?
Astronomers using the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton telescope have discovered that observing the giant planet Jupiter may actually give them an insight in to solar activity on the far side of the Sun! In research reported in the most recent edition of Geophysical Research Letters, they... view more (2005-03-07)

Voracious black holes hide their appetite in dusty galaxies
A UK-led team of astronomers reports that they have tracked down an elusive population of black holes growing rapidly hidden behind clouds of dust.   view more (2005-08-08)

Neutron stars join the black hole jet set
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has revealed an X-ray jet blasting away from a neutron star in a binary system.   view more (2007-06-28)

Select quality seeds
Old MacDonald had a horse. These days he owns a mechanized seeder and crop seeds that have been optimized via X-ray technology. Microcomputer tomography is being used to automatically analyze and grade the quality of sugar beet seeds. The spring sowing of sugar beet will begin in a couple of weeks... view more (2004-02-26)

Robotic telescope unravels mystery of cosmic blasts
Scientists have used the world's largest robotic telescope to make the earliest-ever measurement of the optical polarisation* of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) just 203 seconds after the start of the cosmic explosion. This finding, which provides new insight into GRB physics, is published in Science today... view more (2007-03-19)

Discovery of Giant X-ray Loop Hints at Cosmic Particle Accelerator
Astronomers have found a vast loop-like structure, 20 light years across, adjacent to the most massive star-forming region known in our galaxy. The loop, which was observed in X-ray wavelengths, is 15 times the size of the Arches Cluster, a star-forming region close to the centre of the Milky Way.... view more (2005-03-31)

Discovery of Giant X-ray Loop Hints at Cosmic Particle Accelerator
Astronomers have found a vast loop-like structure, 20 light years across, adjacent to the most massive star-forming region known in our galaxy.   view more (2005-04-01)

Iron For Crystals Or Cheap Tomographs
Unlike the traditional X-ray photography, which imprints a black-and-white picture on the film, the X-ray tomograph reproduces coloured three-dimensional `movies` about the organs` behavior on the computer screen. The X-ray tomograph enables the scientists to find a thrombus in a blood vessel, to... view more (2002-06-07)

Astronomers find new evidence for the violent demise of sun-like stars
Two astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to discover a shell of superheated gas around a dying star in the Milky Way galaxy.   view more (2005-05-31)

Milagro detects cosmic ray hot spots
The University of Maryland-led Milagro collaboration, comprised of scientists from 16 institutions across the United States, has discovered two nearby regions with an unexpected excess of cosmic rays.    view more (2008-11-25)

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)

FaME38: Helping engineers studying critical materials
Airplane wings or railway rails are examples of mechanical components constantly submitted to stress. They consist of materials (metal alloys) with properties that may change under stress. To understand and improve such materials, it is essential to observe them on a microscopic scale. The ESRF and... view more (2002-11-26)

Microgrid Allows Simultaneous Study of Multiple Variables
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have developed a method for correlating the results of microscopic imaging techniques in a way that could lead to improved understanding, diagnosis, and possibly treatment of a variety of disease conditions, including... view more (2007-10-11)

1 patient's account of becoming a live kidney donor
Annabel Ferriman, an editor at the BMJ, gives a frank first person account of her journey through the "protracted" and sometimes "frustrating" process of becoming a live kidney donor to her friend, Ray, who had been suffering from polycystic kidney disease for eight years.   view more (2008-06-16)

Milky Way's Giant Black Hole Awoke from Slumber 300 Years Ago
Using NASA, Japanese, and European X-ray satellites, a team of Japanese astronomers has discovered that our galaxy's central black hole let loose a powerful flare three centuries ago.   view more (2008-04-16)

Searching the heavens
A new space mission, due to launch this month, is going to shed light on some of the most extreme astrophysical processes in nature - including pulsars, remnants of supernovae, and supermassive black holes.   view more (2008-05-01)

Old pulsars still have new tricks to teach us
The super-sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has shown that the prevailing theory of how stellar corpses, known as pulsars, generate their X-rays needs revising.   view more (2006-07-26)

X-ray Science gets a further £3.4M
A world-leading UK research project to study the properties of new materials has been given further funding of £3.4M. The grant is for the continued operation of the British funded X-ray Beamline ( XMaS - X-ray Magnetic Scattering) based at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility at... view more (2002-05-28)

Supernova birth seen for first time
Astronomers have seen the aftermath of spectacular stellar explosions known as supernovae before, but until now no one has witnessed a star dying in real time.   view more (2008-05-22)

X-Ray For Grain
Researchers from St. Petersburg have invented a way to check the viability of grains and seeds of agricultural plants without prior germination. The scientists assume that injuries of the germ and tissues of seeds can be revealed through X-ray photomicrography with the help of computer recognition... view more (2003-02-20)
