Glacial pace of erosion was not so slow, new technique shows
Glaciers, rivers and shifting tectonic plates have shaped mountains over millions of years, but earth scientists have struggled to understand the relative roles of these forces and the rates at which they work.   view more (2005-12-12)

Purification of purines through electroflotation
ADE Biotec and the INASMET Foundation, both from the Basque Country, after three years of working together, have developed a new purification technique for purines. The technique is based on electroflotation and could be very beneficial for agriculture as it has a high level (80%+) of purification... view more (2003-01-14)

FSU classics professor exploring a 'lost' city of the Mycenaeans
Along an isolated, rocky stretch of Greek shoreline, a Florida State University researcher and his students are unlocking the secrets of a partially submerged, "lost" harbor town believed to have been built by the ancient Mycenaeans nearly 3,500 years ago.   view more (2008-03-12)

Getting Power From Enemy`S Skull
The archaeologists at Komi Institute of Language, Literature and History worked at the burial-mound Shihovskoy - a cemetery with the square of 3000 square kilometer, aging back to the Iron Age.

Scientists identified earthquake faults in Sichuan, China
Only last summer research published by earth scientists in the international journal Tectonics concluded that geological faults in the Sichuan Basin, China "are sufficiently long to sustain a strong ground-shaking earthquake, making them potentially serious sources of regional seismic... view more (2008-05-19)

Making a face: A new and earlier marker of neural crest development
The fate of cells that go on to form the face, skull and nerve centers of the head and neck in vertebrates is determined much earlier in development than previously thought, and is independent of interaction with other forming tissues.   view more (2006-07-12)

New holographic method could be used for lab-on-a-chip technologies
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a technique that uses a laser and holograms to precisely position numerous tiny particles within seconds, representing a potential new tool to analyze biological samples or create devices using nanoassembly.   view more (2008-12-03)

Graphene used to create world's smallest transistor
Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide.   view more (2008-04-18)

Massive gene screening points way to more effective chemotherapy
Using a technology that can quickly screen all 20,000-plus human genes for biological activity, scientists have isolated 87 genes that seem to affect how sensitive human cancer cells are to certain chemotherapy drugs.   view more (2007-04-12)

Are you feeling lucky? How superstition impacts consumer choice
Despite their strong impact on the marketplace, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the how superstitious beliefs impact decision making.   view more (2008-02-13)

Videos extract mechanical properties of liquid-gel interfaces
Blood coursing through vessels, lubricated cartilage sliding against joints, ink jets splashing on paper-living and nonliving things abound with fluids meeting solids.   view more (2008-01-24)

Genetic mutation increases risk of preterm birth
Genetic mutations in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) gene appear to have significant association with inflammatory injury to the placenta and developing baby, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh's department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences report at the 28th annual... view more (2008-02-04)

Enterprise Hub for Canterbury
SEEDA (South East England Development Agency) has approved a grant of £250,000 to the University of Kent following a bid in partnership with Canterbury City Council to establish the Canterbury Enterprise Hub. This will include a Business Support Network hatchery and incubator space for new... view more (2003-07-16)

Art meets science as UWE scoops top DTI prize
The art world is now an even more colourful place thanks to a prize-winning project linking the University of the West of England and artists' suppliers Cranfield Colours Printing Inks.

New model describes avalanche behavior of superfluid helium
By utilizing ideas developed in disparate fields, from earthquake dynamics to random-field magnets, researchers at the University of Illinois have constructed a model that describes the avalanche-like, phase-slip cascades in the superflow of helium.   view more (2007-04-25)

San Jacinto fault is younger than thought, rises in seismic importance
A detailed study of sedimentary rocks exposed along a portion of southern California's San Jacinto fault zone shows the fault to be no older than 1.1 million to 1.3 million years and that its long-term slip rate is probably faster than previously thought.   view more (2006-10-24)

Terahertz imaging may reduce breast cancer surgeries
A promising new technique to ensure complete tumor removal at breast cancer excision is introduced in the May issue of Radiology.   view more (2006-04-26)

Firefighter Climbs Career Ladder With Scientific First
A firefighter who has spent the past three years studying by day and tackling blazes at night has picked up first class honours on the Kingston University science degree he applied to through Clearing. Phil Purdie has just found out he has scooped top marks on Kingston's BSc (Hons) in Earth and... view more (2004-07-29)

New earth observation centres announced
Two new centres which will use satellites and models to help forecast earthquakes and the effects of carbon in climate change were announced (Wednesday 17 October) by Lord Sainsbury, Science & Innovation Minister.

MRE could provide a definitive diagnosis for people with muscle pain, Mayo Clinic study shows
An estimated nine million men and women in the United States live with myofascial pain syndrome, a condition marked by pain that permeates muscles in the neck, back and shoulders.   view more (2007-11-30)

Metagenomics of the deep Mediterranean
Metagenomics is a revolutionary approach to study microbes. Rather than isolating pure cultures, the power of high-throughput sequencing is applied directly to environmental samples to obtain information about the genomes of the prokaryotic cells present in a specific habitat studied.   view more (2007-09-19)

Lead-flapping objects experience less wind resistance than their trailing counterparts
It is commonly known that racing cars and bicyclists can reduce air resistance by following closely behind a leader, but researchers from New York University and Cornell University have found the opposite is true with flapping objects, such as flags.   view more (2008-11-11)

New paradigm will help identify leads for drug discovery
A new screening approach can profile compounds in large chemical libraries more accurately and precisely than standard methods, speeding the production of data that can be used to probe biological activities and identify leads for drug discovery.   view more (2006-07-25)

Sierra Nevada rose to current height earlier than thought, geologists say; implications for modeling global climate
Geologists studying deposits of volcanic glass in the western United States have found that the central Sierra Nevada largely attained its present elevation 12 million years ago, roughly 8 or 9 million years earlier than commonly thought.   view more (2008-04-24)
