New mathematical method allows scientists to better predict the effects of global warming
Scientists may soon have a better idea of the potential effects of global warming thanks to the work of Tony O’Hagan, Professor of Statistics at the University of Sheffield. Scientists already know that global warming will have consequences for the earth but are unsure how mild or severe... view more (2002-09-12)

Planning cities in cyberspace
The interactive planning system ARTHUR simplifies the work of architects and city planners by replacing tedious, traditional model design with an augmented reality system. At CeBIT, researchers are showing how building plans can be visualized and modified in 3D. With pride, the architect presents... view more (2004-02-26)

Physics at a Cellular Scale : A Recipe for Producing Cellular Movement from Hopping Microbeads
In a body, cells are capable of moving about, thanks to their actin "skeleton." This mobility, essential to certain cellular functions, can pose a danger when it becomes erratic. Such is the case, for example, when cancerous cells leave the initial tumor site and metastasize. To better... view more (2002-06-05)

Research helps understand factors that influence efficiency of organic-based devices
Organic-based devices, such as organic light-emitting diodes, require a transparent conductive layer with a high work function, meaning it promotes injection of electron holes into an organic layer to produce more light.   view more (2008-07-09)

Scientists develope a new model of artificial canine skin
Researchers at UNIVET, a spin-off of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, in cooperation with the animal nutrition company Affinity Petcare, have developed an artificial cellular model which faithfully reproduces the characteristics of dog's skin and which will allow, therefore, the... view more (2007-05-11)

Different but equal: Settling the dosage compensation debate
Independent research papers from Dr. Peter Becker (Munich, Germany) and Dr. Mitzi Kuroda (Boston, MA) in the October 1 issue of Genes & Development delineate the mechanism of X-chromosome dosage compensation in Drosophila.   view more (2005-10-03)

Italian, US cosmologists present alternate explanation for accelerating expansion of the universe: Was Einstein right when he said he was wrong?
Why is the universe expanding at an accelerating rate, spreading its contents over ever greater dimensions of space? An original solution to this puzzle, certainly the most fascinating question in modern cosmology, was put forward by four theoretical physicists, Edward W. Kolb of the U.S.... view more (2005-03-16)

Breast density helps predict breast cancer risk
Two new models for assessing patients' risk of developing breast cancer focus on breast density as an important predictor, two studies report in the September 6 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.   view more (2006-09-06)

Abertay researchers in clover to unearth destructive bug
Scots scientists are playing a key role in a major new research effort which could save Britain's farmers millions of pounds a year through reductions in fertiliser and pesticide use. Biotechnology experts at the University of Abertay Dundee, in partnership with two organisations in England, have... view more (2002-04-04)

Living coral reefs provide better protection from tsunami waves
Healthy coral reefs provide their adjacent coasts with substantially more protection from destructive tsunami waves than do unhealthy or dead reefs, a Princeton University study suggests.   view more (2006-12-19)

Five months and counting: final theoretical exams for Belgian ESA astronaut Frank De Winne
In preparation for his space mission Belgian ESA astronaut Frank De Winne has reached an important milestone. Less than five months before his departure into space he finished his last theoretical exams. He can now apply himself to the final preparations for his mission and the scientific... view more (2002-06-05)

Model successfully predicts large river system fish diversity
While scientists have developed methods to predict aspects of fish diversity in specific river locations, a model to understand what factors may drive a comprehensive suite of fish biodiversity patterns in a large and complex system of rivers has been elusive.   view more (2008-05-09)

University of Alberta researchers find new cause of blindness
The scientific community is just starting to appreciate the importance of pH regulation in normal vision.   view more (2007-09-05)

Brittlestar provides new model for stem cell research
The brittlestar, Amphiura filiformis, is a close relative of the starfish and can regenerate lost arms in a matter of weeks.   view more (2006-04-10)

Iowa State researcher studies gene families to explore diversity and evolution
Theoretical biologist Stephen Proulx studies gene families to explore how genomes become diverse and evolve.   view more (2006-08-01)

How do groups of animals make decisions?
Groups of animals often need to make communal decisions about what to do and when to do it. But how do they make such decisions? Dr Larissa Conradt and Professor Tim Roper from the University of Sussex have developed a model that can be used to design experiments to establish how non-human animals... view more (2003-01-09)

Traffic jam mystery solved by mathematicians
Mathematicians from the University of Exeter have solved the mystery of traffic jams by developing a model to show how major delays occur on our roads, with no apparent cause.   view more (2007-12-19)

Symbiotic fungi promote invasion into diverse plant communities (Rudgers et al.)
The biodiversity of a community can affect its functional properties, such as its productiveness or its ability to resist invasion by exotic species. Many grass species host fungi in their leaves that can render them more resistant to herbivory, drought, and competition. In a forthcoming issue of... view more (2003-12-10)

Slowdown in tropical Pacific flow pinned on climate change
The vast loop of winds that drives climate and ocean behavior across the tropical Pacific has weakened by 3.5% since the mid-1800s, and it may weaken another 10% by 2100.   view more (2006-05-04)

New study predicts where corals can thrive
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and the International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth have developed a new scientific model that accurately maps where coral reefs are in the most trouble and identifies regions where reefs can be protected best.   view more (2008-04-17)

Turbulence yields secrets to 73-year-old experiment
A simple but groundbreaking experiment performed more than 70 years ago finally has been explained by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The solution sheds new light on fluid turbulence - the last major unsolved problem in classical physics.   view more (2006-02-02)

Live skin substitute to unlock new products
Many long-established skin products, such as shampoos and soaps, contain harmful or ineffective ingredients because effective testing methods were unavailable when they were developed. The first ever model of live skin with a full ecosystem of micro-organisms - created at the University of Leeds -... view more (2004-07-06)

Deakin University research finds rogue cells that could cause spread of breast cancer
Stephanie Lebret completed the study for her PhD at Deakin's Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology under the supervision of Associate Professor Leigh Ackland.   view more (2007-06-14)

Reduced greenhouse gas emissions required to avoid dangerous increases in heat stress, researchers say
A study led by a Purdue University researcher projects a 200 percent to 500 percent increase in the number of dangerously hot days in the Mediterranean by the end of the 21st century if the current rate of greenhouse gas emissions continues. The study found France would be subjected to the largest... view more (2007-06-18)

Delft researchers unravel the working of the bicycle
For nearly 150 years, scientists have been puzzled by the bicycle. How on earth is it possible that a moving bicycle can, all by itself, be so stable? Researchers of the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), working with colleagues from Cornell University and the University of Nottingham, UK,... view more (2007-09-21)
