New engineering methods turn medical scans into plastic replicas
A method of integrating medical imaging with engineering design has been developed by a University of Sussex engineer. Dr Panos Diamantopoulos is confident that his three-dimensional patient-specific replicas, manufactured by a process known as rapid prototyping, will become invaluable tools to... view more (2003-04-03)

With rapid development of economics since the 1980s, people have been increasingly realized that the environment plays an important role in the sustainable development of society and economy.   view more (2008-07-01)

An aerial for light
Austrian physicists report unusual light-metal interaction A team under Professor Franz Aussenegg at the University of Graz in Austria is looking into unusual interactions between light and submicroscopic metal particles. The physicists' findings represent a major advance towards the development of... view more (2003-02-17)

Molecular basis for neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia
An upcoming paper from Dr. David Wassarman (University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health) in the May 1 issue of G&D lends new insight into the pathogenesis of neurodegeneration in Ataxia telangiectasia.   view more (2008-04-15)

Too little attention is paid to the side effects of emission-limiting measures
With measures aimed at reducing the emission of pollutants such as ammonia, policy makers pay too little attention to the consequences for the emission of other substances. This is revealed in a computer model constructed by Corjan Brink from Wageningen University during his doctoral research. For... view more (2003-01-24)

Predicting growth hormone treatment success
Growth hormone treatments work better on some children than on others, but judging which candidates will gain those vital inches in height is no simple task.   view more (2007-12-13)

Long the Fixation of Physicists Worldwide, a Tiny Particle Is Found
After decades of intensive effort by both experimental and theoretical physicists worldwide, a tiny particle with no charge, a very low mass and a lifetime much shorter than a nanosecond, dubbed the "axion," has now been detected by the University at Buffalo physicist who first suggested... view more (2006-12-07)

Dutch researchers predict future of Central America
As part of an NWO project at Wageningen Agricultural University, Dutch researchers have constructed a model to simulate how land use changes in accordance with various different scenarios for the future. The model, CLUE (Conversion of Land Use and its Effects), makes it possible to carry out model... view more (2001-05-08)

A new explanation for evolutionary changes in genetic sex-determination systems
In animals with separate sexes, embryos commit to becoming male or female at an early stage. Often this key decision is made by sex determination genes on the sex chromosomes. The genes involved in sexual development have changed remarkably little during evolution. In contrast, the sex... view more (2007-10-22)

Study: Future snowmelt in West twice as early as expected; threatens ecosystems and water reserves
According to a new study, global warming could lead to larger changes in snowmelt in the western United States than was previously thought, possibly increasing wildfire risk and creating new water management challenges for agriculture, ecosystems and urban populations.   view more (2008-07-16)

LA BioMed research finds simpler way to assess breast cancer risk
A new, simpler model for predicting breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women appears to be as accurate as a more complicated method currently used to decide if women would benefit from medication to reduce their risk of getting cancer, according to research published today in the Journal of the... view more (2007-11-14)

Interactive simulator for learning how to handle an excavator. SHE
Within the framework of the Esprit European research programme, IKERLAN (a Basque Technological research Centre) is participating in the design and development of virtual reality tools that make it easier to learn how to use machines or systems. The aim of the SHE project is to develop a prototype... view more (2002-08-13)

Safer shipping by predicting sand wave behaviour
Dutch researcher Joris van den Berg has developed a mathematical model to predict the movement of sand waves. Sand waves are formed by an interaction between the tidal current and sand.   view more (2007-07-13)

Why matter matters in the universe
A new physics discovery explores why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe.   view more (2008-03-31)

Nano design adjustment may help find, clear some water contaminants
Experiments designed to test discrepancies in theoretical computational chemistry have turned up a barely two-angstrom difference that may lead to a new approach to locate and remove dangerous toxins such as perchlorate and nitrates from the environment.   view more (2006-12-14)

Battling bird flu by the numbers
A pair of Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers have developed a mathematical tool that could help health experts and crisis managers determine in real time whether an emerging infectious disease such as avian influenza H5N1 is poised to spread globally.   view more (2008-05-28)

Mouse model for schizophrenia has genetic on-off switch
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have developed a mouse model for schizophrenia in which a mutated gene linked to schizophrenia can be turned on or off at will.   view more (2007-09-11)

Doctors able to predict recurrence of high-risk breast cancers
International researchers have developed a prediction model to assist doctors in determining the chance of recurrence of cancer in high-risk breast cancer patients who have undergone a mastectomy followed by radiation therapy.   view more (2006-04-03)

MIT: Computer model reveals cells' inner workings
After spending years developing a computational model to help illuminate cell signaling pathways, a team of MIT researchers decided to see what would happen if they "broke" the model.   view more (2008-10-17)

A novel model to pinpoint human androgen receptor targets developed
A novel computational model to pinpoint androgen receptor targets within the human genome was recently reported.   view more (2005-11-01)

Surf not up for Palaeozoic creatures - new model reveals ancient sea was a giant lake
The ancient sea was more like a giant salty lake than a rolling ocean, report scientists from Imperial College London in the May edition of the Journal of the Geological Society. A new computer model that simulates how tides in North West Europe would have behaved 300 million years ago shows a sea... view more (2005-05-09)

Microsurgery on the brain of the fruit fly leads to new insights into irreparable nerve injuries
Every year, one million Europeans are confronted with potentially irreparable brain or spinal cord injuries resulting from traffic accidents.   view more (2008-06-04)

Black holes have simple feeding habits
The biggest black holes may feed just like the smallest ones, according to data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ground-based telescopes. This discovery supports the implication of Einstein's relativity theory that black holes of all sizes have similar properties, and will be useful for... view more (2008-06-19)
