Tool tackles translucence and other color challenges
Plain old colors are pass√©. Complex visual effects, such as pearlescence, translucence, iridescence and glitter, help sell many products, including cars, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and military hardware.   view more (2005-11-07)

Physicists find evidence for highest energy photons ever detected from Milky Way's equator
Physicists at nearly a dozen research institutions, including New York University, have discovered evidence for very high energy gamma rays emitting from the Milky Way, marking the highest energies ever detected from the galactic equator.   view more (2005-12-14)

Roses In The Southern Sky
The Wide-Field-Imager at La Silla Unveils Intricate Structures Illuminated by Hot Stars The giant HII nebula N44 The two best known satellite galaxies of the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, are located in the southern sky at a distance of about 170,000 light-years. They host many giant nebular... view more (2003-11-03)

FAMILY HISTORY OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL OFTEN NOT DETECTED UNTIL MIDDLE AGE
Families with a history of high cholesterol are being denied early treatment to reduce the risk of coronary events because they often remain undetected until middle age, according to a study in this week?s BMJ. Using specialist registers and general practice records, researchers in Oxfordshire... view more (2000-07-11)

Billions of particles of anti-matter created in laboratory
ake a gold sample the size of the head of a push pin, shoot a laser through it, and suddenly more than 100 billion particles of anti-matter appear. The anti-matter, also known as positrons, shoots out of the target in a cone-shaped plasma "jet."   view more (2008-11-18)

Integral - tracking extreme radiation across the Universe
INFO 8-2002. Integral is the International Gamma Ray Astrophysics Laboratory of the European Space Agency. It is a cooperative mission with Russia and is scheduled for launch on 17 October 2002 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, on a Russian Proton rocket, the Russian contribution to the... view more (2002-10-02)

Counting semi-viable bacteria in cheese
The Wageningen researcher Christine Bunthof has developed a direct method for counting bacteria in dairy products. The method not only distinguishes viable and non-viable bacteria but also semi-viable bacteria. These are too weak to divide, but still exhibit activity. The semi-viable bacteria play... view more (2002-05-23)

Early life growth spurts protect against 'bad' cholesterol
all toddlers and rapidly growing teens are likely to find themselves with lower cholesterol, particularly the "bad" type, in later life, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.   view more (2007-03-02)

Michigan integral to world's largest physics experiment
After 20 years of construction, a machine that could either verify or nullify the prevailing theory of particle physics is about to begin its mission.   view more (2008-09-08)

Unveiling the underwater ways of the white shark
It's hard to study a creature when you only catch fleeting glimpses of it. Up until recently, that was one of the big stumbling blocks for marine biologists and ecologists, but advances in electronic tracking technology have allowed them to peer farther across, and deeper under, the surface of the... view more (2008-02-19)

Sex unlikely to cause a stroke and may reduce risk of sudden death
Middle aged men should be heartened to know that frequent sex is not likely to increase their risk of stroke. It may actually reduce the risk of sudden death, suggests research in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.   view more (2002-01-15)

IAH appoints new Head of Epidemiology
The Institute for Animal Health is pleased to announce that Dr Matthew Baylis has been appointed as Head of the Division of Epidemiology. Dr Baylis will take charge of a re-structured division responsible for experimental epidemiology and mathematical modelling of a number of infectious diseases... view more (2003-03-03)

Ability to track stem cells in tumors could advance cancer treatments
Using noninvasive molecular imaging technology, a method has been developed to track the location and activity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in the tumors of living organisms.   view more (2008-06-17)

Sports ads on TV by virtual means: different ads for different audiences
An advert for a Finnish local pub at the starting grid of a motor race in Monte Carlo? Of course not: it’s only seen in Finland, virtually. It will soon be possible to introduce advertisements into TV broadcasts of sports events without their ever appearing at the actual site. The usual sort... view more (2001-04-06)

Jules Verne ATV given its 'wings'
The next time Jules Verne ATV's four solar arrays are fully deployed, giving the vehicle a total span of 22.3 m, will be in early 2008, at 28 000 km/h over the South Pacific Ocean.   view more (2007-12-03)

A stress meter for fault zones
For the first time, scientists from Rice University, the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have measured - in the field rather than in the laboratory - how changes in stress in rocks affect changes in the... view more (2008-07-10)

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols features methods for analyzing protein interactions
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, an online journal that publishes methods used in a wide range of biology laboratories, has added over 40 new peer-reviewed protocols to its archive today.   view more (2006-09-11)

Disabling a sensory organ prompts female mice to act like male mice
By short-circuiting the sensory organ that detects the chemical cues mice use to attract mates, a team of Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers has prompted female mice to behave like male mice in the throes of courtship.   view more (2007-08-06)

By straddling twin molecules, Sandia physicist obtains unique view of their breakup
Imagine you are standing, John Wayne style, on the backs of two runaway horses pulling a stagecoach. You try to bring the horses to a stop but instead the harnesses break, the horses separate, and an unlucky passenger gets thrown from the stage.   view more (2006-01-20)

New study uncovers major inaccuracies in global wildlife trade monitoring
The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) is supposed to help governments conserve endangered species by regulating the international sale and transport of wildlife.   view more (2005-11-04)

NIST micro sensor and micro fridge make cool pair
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have combined two tiny but powerful NIST inventions on a single microchip, a cryogenic sensor and a microrefrigerator. The combination offers the possibility of cheaper, simpler and faster precision analysis of materials such... view more (2008-04-16)

MIT scientists create fiber webs that see
In a radical departure from conventional lens-based optics, MIT scientists have developed a sophisticated optical system made of mesh-like webs of light-detecting fibers.   view more (2006-07-18)

Chandrayaan-1 now in lunar transfer trajectory
Yesterday, following a fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre, the Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft successfully settled into a trajectory that will take it to the Moon.   view more (2008-11-06)

When proteins, antibodies and other biological molecules kiss, a new kind of biosensor can tell
When biological molecules kiss, a new kind of biosensor can tell. A new and deceptively simple technique has been developed by chemists at Vanderbilt University that can measure the interactions between free-floating, unlabeled biological molecules including proteins, sugars, antibodies, DNA and... view more (2007-09-21)

Discovery of most recent supernova in our galaxy
The most recent supernova in our Galaxy has been discovered by tracking the rapid expansion of its remains. This result, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and NRAO's Very Large Array (VLA), has implications for understanding how often supernovas explode in the Milky Way galaxy.   view more (2008-05-15)
