Toxic Bile Damages the Liver
Researchers at the Heidelberg University Hospital have discovered a new genetic disease that can lead to severe liver damage. Because a protective component of the bile is missing, the liver cells are exposed to the toxic components of the bile, resulting in cirrhosis of liver, a transformation of liver cells into connective tissue with a gradual... view more...

Far away galaxy under the microscope
An international group of astronomers have discovered large disc galaxies akin to our Milky Way that must have formed on a rapid time scale, only 3 billion years after the Big Bang. view more (2006-08-17)
Danish Researchers Break the Limits of the Internet
A team of Danish physicists has taken a crucial step towards an Internet that is faster and more secure than what we know today. The researchers from the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have created an atomic memory that, in time, will be able to break the limits for Internet communication. The team's breakthrough was... view more... (2004-11-26)
Astronomers Weigh the Coldest Brown Dwarfs with Astronomy's Sharpest Eyes
Astronomers have used ultrasharp images obtained with the Keck Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope to determine for the first time the masses of the coldest class of "failed stars," a.k.a. brown dwarfs. view more (2008-06-03)
Landslide syndrome: politicians and executives surf the waves of change
Psychological models of stress and change have been used to predict the behaviour of world leaders and executives in periods of radical change. Professor Peter Herriot, Institute of Employment Studies, Dr Richard Plenty, Shell International, Ashley Weinberg, University of Manchester and Dai Williams, Eos Career Services, explore the psychological... view more...

Intelligent materials
The technology centre GAIKER of the Basque Country is working on a project whose aim is to develop intelligent polymers and discover their opportunities. Similarly, it will study the possibilities to introduce those polymers in the existing structures in order to promote their applicability and to create new enterprise initiatives. GAIKER... view more... (2002-10-02)
Telescope embedded in glasses lens promises to make driving easier for visually impaired
Glasses embedded with a telescope promise to make it easier for people with impaired vision to drive and do other activities requiring sharper distance vision. view more (2008-07-25)
Cigarette smoke blocks cell repair mechanism, University of Florida study shows
Cigarette smoke can turn normal breast cells cancerous by blocking their ability to repair themselves, eventually triggering tumor development, University of Florida scientists report. view more (2006-08-23)
'WAIT AND SEE' POLICY' SUGGESTED FOR WOMEN WITH ABNORMAL CERVICAL SMEARS IN PRESENCE of HIGH-RISK HUMAN PAPILLOMAVIRUS (p 1782)
Women with abnormal cervical smears (mild to moderate dyskaryosis) and who are positive for the high-risk form of human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) should not be treated for at least 6 months after cytological screening to see if the virus disappears, suggest authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. If viral clearance occurs,... view more... (2001-11-21)
Researchers decode genetics of rare photosynthetic bacterium
A bacterium that harvests far-red light by making a rare form of chlorophyll (chlorophyll d) has revealed its genetic secrets, according to a team of researchers who recently sequenced the bacteria's genome. view more (2008-02-11)
New 'liquid lens' data for immersion lithography
New data on the properties of potential "liquid lenses" compiled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could help the semiconductor industry continue to shrink feature sizes on computer chips. view more (2006-03-21)
Cranfield publishes second report into low-cost airlines
Low-cost scheduled airlines have revolutionised short-haul air travel, particularly in the UK and Western Europe. The rapid growth of low-cost scheduled carriers in Europe is in sharp contrast to the charter airlines who have seen traffic stagnate or even decline. As the no-frills sector matures, however, a potential over-supply of airline seats... view more... (2003-09-03)
DKK-3 and WIF-1: Proteins related to liver cancer development?
Liver cancer is one of the most fatal human malignancies and the third most frequent cause of tumor-related death, about half a million people globally each year. view more (2009-06-15)
UNH Scientists Continue To Fly High As NASA Unlocks The Puzzle Of Global Air Quality
The National Aeronautic and Space Administration's (NASA) DC-8 research aircraft is arguably the world's most sophisticated flying laboratory and scientists from the University of New Hampshire have been onboard the jet conducting one-of-a-kind science for the past two decades. view more (2006-04-28)
Researchers putting a freeze on oscillator vibrations
University of Oregon physicists have successfully landed a one-two punch on a tiny glass sphere, refrigerating it in liquid helium and then dosing its perimeter with a laser beam, to bring its naturally occurring mechanical vibrations to a near standstill. view more (2009-06-18)
Hubble, Keck images show continued turbulence in Jupiter's atmosphere
Increased turbulence and storms first observed on Jupiter more than two years ago are still raging, according to astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley, and the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii, who snapped high-resolution pictures of the planet earlier this month. view more (2008-05-23)
Beta Pictoris planet finally imaged?
A team of French astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have discovered an object located very close to the star Beta Pictoris, and which apparently lies inside its disc. view more (2008-11-24)
UAB research could improve the prognosis and treatment of lung cancer
A group of scientists led by Professor Xavier Parés of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, has published a research on AKR1B10, an enzyme that is detected in large quantities only in lung cancers, particularly those caused by smoking. view more (2008-01-08)
From Physics to Physicians
The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC) and the UK Health Departments have signed a concordat to formally recognise and explore the potential for collaboration in technological areas of common interest. The Concordat, signed by Professor Ian Halliday, Chief Executive of PPARC and Professor Sir John Pattison, Director of... view more... (2002-05-22)
CONCERN OVER NEW UK LEGISLATION TO DETAIN PEOPLE WITH DANGEROUS SEVERE PERSONALITY DISORDERS (p 1926, 1955)
Recent UK government proposals to reduce the risks posed by people with "dangerous" severe personality disorders (DSPD) include a controversial new legal framework for indeterminate detention. In a systematic review in this week's issue of THE LANCET, Alec Buchanan and Morven Leese from the Institute of Psychiatry, London, UK, aimed to... view more... (2001-12-05)
