Major breakthrough for special needs children
A groundbreaking project pioneered by a University of Sunderland researcher is having an extraordinary effect on the lives of children with special needs. Dr Phil Ellis, at the University’s school of arts, design and media, is working with youngsters from Davenport School in Houghton-le-Spring, with dramatic effect. He is using his sound... view more... (2001-01-25)
Messenger peeks at Earth
NASA's Mercury-bound MESSENGER spacecraft - less than three months from an Earth flyby that will slingshot it toward the inner solar system - successfully tested its main camera by snapping distant approach shots of Earth and the Moon. view more (2005-05-31)
Traits produced by melanin may signal the bearer's capacity to combat free radicals
Some animal species have developed conspicuous traits produced by melanin pigments (for instance, dark manes in lions, black stripes in some birds and fishes). view more (2008-10-06)
Mars, methane and mysteries
Mars may not be as dormant as scientists once thought. The 2004 discovery of methane means that either there is life on Mars, or that volcanic activity continues to generate heat below the martian surface. view more (2009-08-10)
The Green (and blue, red, and white) lights of the future

Living Metals
Using synchrotron x-ray microbeams, a research team from the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research in Stuttgart and the ESRF has been able to observe for the first time that the microscopic structure of a crystalline material fluctuates in time. The results are published today in Science Express with the title: Scaling in the Time Domain:... view more... (2005-04-22)
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols highlights reliable methods for gene and protein analyses
In their native form, the thousands of assorted proteins in our body are virtually indistinguishable. Scientists who want to examine the properties and functions of specific proteins, as well as the activities of individual genes, must rely on chemical tags to manipulate and visualize them. view more (2007-04-05)
Tweeting, more than just self expression

Two other Mars missions heating up
Two Mars orbiter missions - one from NASA, the other from the European Space Agency (ESA) - will open new vistas in the exploration of Mars through the use of sophisticated ground-penetrating radars, providing international researchers with the first direct clues about the Red Planet's subsurface structure. view more (2006-03-07)
Argon conclusion: Researchers reassess theories on formation of Earth's atmosphere
Geochemists at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute are challenging commonly held ideas about how gases are expelled from the Earth. Their theory, which is described in the Sept. 20 issue of the journal Nature, could change the way scientists view the formation of Earth's atmosphere and those of our distant neighbors, Mars and Venus. view more (2007-09-20)

Research Europe 6 June issue: ESA, application, evaluation and cost models for FP6, and science in Ireland
ESA restructures science programme The European Space Agency is axing a mission to Venus and restructuring its space science programme with a budget cut of 500 million euros. This is necessary to cope with a refusal by ESA's member states to increase its funding up to 2012. The restructuring was endorsed by ESA's science programme committee last... view more...
