Hinode: new insights on the origin of solar wind
Spectacular images and data from the Hinode mission have shed new light on the Sun's magnetic field and the origins of solar wind, which can disrupt power grids, satellites and communications on Earth.   view more (2007-12-10)

Superstrings could add gravitational cacophony to universe's chorus
Albert Einstein theorized long ago that moving matter would warp the fabric of four-dimensional space-time, sending out ripples of gravity called gravitational waves. No one has observed such a phenomenon so far, but University of Washington researchers believe it is possible to detect such waves... view more (2007-01-09)

Toward world's smallest radio: nano-sized detector turns radio waves into music
Researchers report development of the world's first working radio system that receives radio waves wirelessly and converts them to sound signals through a nano-sized detector made of carbon nanotubes.   view more (2007-10-18)

Hinode reveals new insights about the origin of solar wind
Images from NASA-funded telescopes aboard a Japanese satellite have shed new light about the sun's magnetic field and the origins of solar wind, which disrupts power grids, satellites and communications on Earth.   view more (2007-12-07)

U of M to help NASA 'follow the sun' — in stereo
Like geologists poring over seismograph records to identify the telltale signature of an imminent earthquake, University of Minnesota researchers are poised to probe the sun for a tipoff that a huge eruption of its corona is brewing.   view more (2006-10-19)

'T-ray' devices with perfect imaging abilities move a step closer
A team of American and British scientists has demonstrated an artificially made material that can provide a magnetic response to Terahertz frequency radiation, bringing the realisation and development of novel 'T-ray' devices a step closer. The advance, reported in the journal Science today (5... view more (2004-03-04)

Researchers Produce Firsts with Bursts of Light
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory have generated extremely short pulses of light that are the strongest of their type ever produced and could prove invaluable in probing the ultra-fast motion of atoms and electrons.   view more (2007-07-25)

NASA sees orbiting stars flooding space with gravitational waves
A scientist using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has found evidence that two white dwarf stars are orbiting each other in a death grip, destined to merge.   view more (2005-05-30)

Nano-signals get a boost from magnetic spin waves
Researchers have figured out how nanoscale microwave transmitters gain greater signal power than the sum of their parts-a finding that will help in the design of nano-oscillator arrays for possible use as transmitters and receivers in cell phones, radar systems, or computer chips.   view more (2006-09-01)

New findings contradict a prevailing belief about the inner ear
A healthy ear emits soft sounds in response to the sounds that travel in. Detectable with sensitive microphones, these otoacoustic emissions help doctors test newborns' hearing. A deaf ear doesn't produce these echoes.   view more (2008-02-13)

True colors are in the brain of the beholder
Pictures of brain waves that reveal our ability to see colour could provide a new objective way to diagnose and monitor diseases that affect human colour perception.   view more (2006-08-10)

Researchers distinguish waves from mine collapses from other seismic activities
Researchers have devised a technology that can distinguish mine collapses from other seismic activity.   view more (2008-07-11)

New properties of the very deep Earth discovered
To truly understand some of the movement we see at the Earth's surface, scientists have to probe deep into the interior.   view more (2006-04-28)

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

Earthquake 'memory' could spur aftershocks
Using a novel device that simulates earthquakes in a laboratory setting, a Los Alamos researcher and his colleagues have shown that seismic waves-the sounds radiated from earthquakes-can induce earthquake aftershocks, often long after a quake has subsided.   view more (2008-01-04)

Super deep rock formation and upper mantle move in concert
European Highlight from Geophysical Research Letters (GRL) In a finding that contradicts conventional wisdom, results from a new technique to survey the super-deep upper mantle of southern Africa show that underground volcanic rock shifted with the lithospheric plates in the area. Previously,... view more (2002-03-06)

Deadly mine 'bump' was recorded as seismic event
The University of Utah Seismograph Stations recorded a magnitude-1.6 seismic event at the time of a Thursday, Aug. 16 "bump" that killed and injured rescuers at a Utah coal mine where six miners were trapped by an Aug. 6 collapse.   view more (2007-08-20)

From galaxy collisions to star birth: ISO finds the missing link
Data from ISO, the infrared observatory of the European Space Agency (ESA), have provided the first direct evidence that shock waves generated by galaxy collisions excite the gas from which new stars will form. The result also provides important clues on how the birth of the first stars was... view more (2005-03-29)

Weather, waves and wireless: Super strength signalling
A new study from the University of Leicester has discovered a particular window of time when mobile signals and radio waves are 'super strength' - allowing them to be clearer and travel greater distances, potentially interfering with other systems.   view more (2008-05-19)

Water is 'designer fluid' that helps proteins change shape, scientists say
Ubiquitous on Earth, water also has been found in comets, on Mars and in molecular clouds in interstellar space. Now, scientists say this common fluid is not as well understood as we thought.    view more (2008-08-07)

Mayo Clinic researchers discover cancer cells may move via wave stimulation
Mayo Clinic researchers have uncovered a new cellular secret that may explain how certain cancers move and spread - a feature of cancers that makes treatment especially difficult.   view more (2006-04-03)

Invitation to the Press - Science Minister to launch Star Tiger Project
Science Minister Lord Sainsbury will be officially inaugurating the European Star Tiger project on Monday 24 June at 2pm, and you are invited to attend the ceremony and talk to team members and guests. The ceremony will take place at the CCLRC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, where... view more (2002-06-13)

Computer model improves ultrasound image
Doctors use diagnostic sonography or ultrasound to visualise organs and other internal structures of the human body.   view more (2008-11-05)

New Hebrew University frictional motion study could provide tool for earthquake prediction
A new study on "waves (or fronts) of detachment" involved in the process of friction offers a new perspective on an old scientific puzzle and could provide a key to improving predictions of future earthquakes, say scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.   view more (2004-09-26)

Why oceans behave like water in a bath
SATELLITE measurements of sea levels have uncovered a bizarre effect. The sea seems to be rising faster near the coast than in mid-ocean. Simon Holgate and Philip Woodworth of the Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory, in Bidston, UK, found this discrepancy using the Topex satellite, launched in 1992.... view more (2004-04-21)
