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)

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)

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)

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)

Large Himalaya earthquakes may occur sooner than expected
While the rupture zones of recent major earthquakes are immune to similar-sized earthquakes for hundreds of years, they could be vulnerable to even bigger destructive temblors sooner than scientists suspect.   view more (2005-12-08)

Fire tests spark safety fears
STEEL fire doors that are supposed to give people at least an hour to escape a blaze can fail in less than 20 minutes, tests in France show. The results raise severe doubts about the reliability of the international standard for testing fire doors. The doors are usually tested using a method laid... view more (2002-08-21)

Recent landslides in La Conchita, California belong to much larger prehistoric slide
The deadly landslide that killed 10 people and destroyed approximately 30 homes in La Conchita, California last January is but a tiny part of a much larger slide, called the Rincon Mountain slide.   view more (2005-10-20)

Scientists find new clues to explain Amazonian biodiversity
Ice age climate change and ancient flooding-but not barriers created by rivers-may have promoted the evolution of new insect species in the Amazon region of South America, a new study suggests.   view more (2008-07-23)

ETH Zurich and IBM improve diagnosis of osteoporosis
With the goal of developing an accurate, powerful and fast method to automate the analysis of bone strength, scientists of the ETH Zurich Departments of Mechanical and Process Engineering and Computer Science teamed up with supercomputing experts at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory.   view more (2008-07-02)

Inflammation linked to chronic pain
An inflamed injury may increase levels of a protein responsible for persistent pain, causing the brain to mimic pain long after source has disappeared.   view more (2005-12-07)

Geologist troubleshoots silica problem at geothermal plants
In the debate over alternative energy resources, geothermal technology has received scant media attention. Advocates call it one of the cleanest, sustainable energy resources available. However, steep construction, equipment and drilling costs have prevented more widespread development of... view more (2007-03-14)

Reversible Microlenses to Speed Chemical Detection
The microlenses make use of the antibody-antigen binding, the same process used by the human immune system, to detect biological or chemical agents.   view more (2006-02-14)

Lightweight, high resistance synthetic fibres to save historic buildings and monuments
Many of Europe's historic buildings, monuments and civil engineering structures are gradually decaying. Already weakened by age, they are damaged by earth tremors, pollution and traffic vibration. And this is more than just a cultural problem. Continual maintenance is extremely costly and... view more (2003-09-23)
