Linking With The Future
Exploring and using space is the biggest adventure facing mankind. Finding innovative ways for ESA to continue doing this is the role of the Advanced Concepts Team (ACT) at ESA's European Space Technology Research Centre (ESTEC). It is their job to look into the future and identify ideas which... view more (2004-07-08)

Computer model can predict human behavior and learning
A computer model that can predict how people will complete a controlled task and how the knowledge needed to complete that task develops over time is the product of a group of researchers, led by a professor from Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology.   view more (2008-11-10)

Hotter than expected neutron star surfaces help explain superburst frequency
A new theoretical thermometer built from heavy-duty mathematics and computer code suggests that the surfaces of certain neutron stars run significantly hotter than previously expected. Hot enough, in fact, to at least partially answer an open question in astrophysics — how to explain the... view more (2007-04-16)

Probing a rare material spin state at NIST
A team of international physicists that includes researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has found experimental evidence of a highly sought-after type of arrangement of atomic magnetic moments, or spins, in a series of materials.   view more (2007-09-17)

New model predicts damage to cheese
Researchers at a Dutch university have developed a model that predicts how cheese will change when a force is applied to it. This makes it possible to predict how cheese will be damaged during the packaging or transportation processes. Anna Rzepiela from Wageningen University simulated the... view more (2003-04-11)

Young children with epilepsy seizures could benefit from animal model of disease
Researchers have developed an animal model of infantile spasms, improving the likelihood of finding new treatments for the thousands of young children who suffer from these catastrophic epilepsy seizures.   view more (2007-04-26)

Nationally Renowned Portrait Artist Unites Arts and Physics
A Portrait of the Scientist: The Art and Science of Physics The visual arts and science are innovatively united as highly-regarded figurative artist Alan Parker, an artist in residence within the Department of Physics throughout 2004 at the University of Warwick, takes on the challenge of... view more (2004-04-07)

TU Delft and TNO combine knowledge of explosive reactions
The explosions group of TU Delft and TNO-PML are starting an intensive co-operative research programme in the field of explosion safety. Their knowledge will be combined in the 'Knowledge Centre for Reactive Gas-dynamics and Explosion Safety,' which opens on 18 July 2001. The knowledge and... view more (2001-07-17)

Gardens in space
A model of a system for growing plants to plan biological experiments in space has just left the company of ROVSING, in Ballerup near Copenhagen, on its way to ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in the Netherlands. The full name of this experiment reference model is... view more (2002-05-13)

Estimating the risk of cancer
Dutch scientists have developed a new tumour growth model in which the tumour is a part of the host's body. The model reveals that a low-calorie diet delays the growth of a tumour, and thus increases the life expectancy. Furthermore, tumours were found to develop faster in younger than in older... view more (2003-12-19)

Delft Architectural Engineer Combines Economics and Environment: Building with Double Profit
Researcher Tim de Jonge, of TU Delft, has developed a model to calculate the environmental impact of all kinds of building projects easily and accurately. The model can show whether or not a design change, aimed at the reduction of the environmental impact of the design, is worthwhile. Tim de Jonge... view more (2005-02-24)

Light Gives Asteroids Spin
Astronomers have observed an asteroid change the rate at which it spins for the first time, and shown that this is due to a theoretical effect predicted but never before seen   view more (2007-03-12)

Utility Models an alternative to Patents.
The Intellectual Property Rights Helpdesk has produced a briefing paper on the use of Utility Models as an alternative to patents. A utility model is a registered right for technical inventions, which entitles the owner to forbid third parties from exploiting the inventions subject to this... view more (2000-04-12)

Supercontinuum generation and soliton dynamics milestone achieved
A research team led by Fetah Benabid, University of Bath, has observed for the first time the simultaneous emission of two resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons (waves that maintain their shape while traveling at constant speeds).   view more (2008-11-21)

Pump prices and Pompeii crisis
The price of petrol at any station in Yorkshire can be predicted to the nearest 0.5p per litre by a new computer model developed by geography PhD student Alison Heppenstall at the University of Leeds. She found that the location of a station is just as likely to affect the pump cost as changes in... view more (2004-09-29)

Trees, forests and the Eiffel tower reveal theory of design in nature
What do a tree and the Eiffel Tower have in common? According to a Duke University engineer, both are optimized for flow. In the case of trees, the flow is of water from the ground throughout the trunk, branches and leaves, and into the air. The Eiffel Tower's flow carries stresses throughout the... view more (2008-08-14)

Forced evolution: Can we mutate viruses to death?
It sounds like a science fiction movie: A killer contagion threatens the Earth, but scientists save the day with a designer drug that forces the virus to mutate itself out of existence. The killer disease? Still a fiction. The drug? It could become a reality thanks to a new study by Rice University... view more (2008-11-11)

World`s Largest Model of DNA at the Tomorrow`s World Roadshow
The largest model of DNA in the world will be constructed at the Tomorrow`s World Roadshow at Earls Court London on 10 -13 of July. The current Guinness World Record'¤ breaking model will grow even further and is expected to break its own record. The finished model is expected to contain 300 base... view more (2002-07-05)

The colour of your hair may leave you open to stereotypes and prejudice
Hair colour has been associated with stereotypes of females in western society and it appears that the stereotype of 'dumb blonde' is still alive and well. There is also some evidence that men rather than women have constructed the dumb blonde stereotype.   view more (1999-03-26)
