Unlocking the function of enzymes
Fitting a key into a lock may seem like a simple task, but researchers at Texas A&M University are using a method that involves testing thousands of keys to unlock the functions of enzymes, and their findings could open the door for new targets for drug designs.   view more (2007-11-07)

IUPUI scientists report first 3-D view of anti-cancer agent
Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine and the Purdue School of Science at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis have created the first three-dimensional image of how a well-established chemotherapy agent targets and binds to DNA.   view more (2008-03-19)

Maths provides answer to airport security puzzle
High flyers will enjoy faster and safer travel in the future, thanks to mathematicians at The University of Manchester and airport security specialists Rapiscan Systems.   view more (2006-10-12)

Tiny 3-D ultrasound probe guides catheter procedures
An ultrasound probe small enough to ride along at the tip of a catheter can provide physicians with clearer real-time images of soft tissue without the risks associated with conventional x-ray catheter guidance.   view more (2008-08-29)

New Satellite To Study Explosive Solar Flares
A small NASA spacecraft, dedicated solely to the study of high energy processes in gigantic explosions in the atmosphere of the Sun, is scheduled to be launched early next week. Although the 293 kg (645 lb) satellite, known as the High Energy Solar Spectroscopic Imager (HESSI), carries only one... view more (2002-01-31)

Scientists close in on source of X-rays in lightning
University of Florida and Florida Institute of Technology engineering researchers have narrowed the search for the source of X-rays emitted by lightning, a feat that could one day help predict where lightning will strike.   view more (2008-07-16)

Gamma-ray birth cries suggest massive magnetic engines
Several times a week, astronomers detect the violent death cry of a massive star — an extraordinarily energetic release of gamma rays that takes place in just a matter of seconds to minutes, called a gamma-ray burst (GRB).   view more (2007-03-09)

Innovation Exchange provides technology links that could increase airport security
Technological advances in x-ray imaging could provide a vital advantage to airport security around the world in averting terrorist bomb plots. Researchers from Keele University have engineered equipment that could provide better quality and a more cost-effective way of producing images of specific... view more (2001-10-03)

New X-ray Delivery Method Could Improve Radiation Therapy
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory and colleagues at Stony Brook University, the IRCCS NEUROMED Medical Center in Italy, and Georgetown University say improvements they have made to an experimental form of radiation therapy that has been under... view more (2006-06-12)

Astronomers hot on the trail of nature's exotic flashers
Astronomers have uncovered tantalizing insights into the origin of short gamma-ray bursts - mysterious, split-second high-energy flashes that have eluded detailed study until now.   view more (2005-05-31)

The positioning system makes it possible for patients under observation to move around
In future, the patient positioning system will allow also those patients who are under constant observation to move freely in the hospital. If a patient`s condition declines, an alarm system is activated and sends a signal to the control room. The same alarm system also sends information about the... view more (2002-04-05)

Wisconsin researchers describe how digits grow
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) are wagging a finger at currently held notions about the way digits are formed.   view more (2008-03-12)

XMM-Newton 'spare-time' provides impressive sky survey
For the past four years, while ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has been slewing between different targets ready for the next observation, it has kept its cameras open and used this spare time to quietly look at the heavens.   view more (2006-05-04)

World-leading microscope shows more detail than ever
A unique 3-dimensional microscope that works in a new way is giving unprecedented insight into microscopic internal structure and chemical composition. It is revealing how materials are affected, over time, by changes in temperature, humidity, weight load and other conditions.   view more (2006-05-03)

UO plays key role in LIGO's new view of a cosmic event
An international team of physicists, including University of Oregon scientists, has concluded that last February's intense burst of gamma rays possibly coming from the Andromeda Galaxy lacked a gravitational wave. That absence, they say, rules out an initial interpretation that the burst came from... view more (2008-01-04)
