Pulsar find boosts hope for gravity-wave hunters
Neutron star pairs may merge and give off a burst of gravity waves about six times more often than previously thought, scientists report in today's issue of the journal Nature [4 December]. If so, the current generation of gravity-wave detectors might be able to register such an event every year or two, rather than about once a decade - the most... view more... (2003-12-02)
From biological imaging to Sudoku solutions
Cornell physicist Veit Elser has been engrossed recently in resolving a pivotal question in biological imaging. So he hasn't had much time for brainteasers and number games. view more (2006-03-06)
Music is the engine of new U-M lab-on-a-chip device
Music, rather than electromechanical valves, can drive experimental samples through a lab-on-a-chip in a new system developed at the University of Michigan. This development could significantly simplify the process of conducting experiments in microfluidic devices. view more (2009-07-23)
Mixing it, Southern Ocean style
Sea water being churned in the ocean off Antarctica may be having a greater effect on global patterns of ocean movement than previously thought, according to new research reported in this week's edition of the international journal Science (9 January 2004). view more (2004-01-05)
Great Indian Ocean earthquake of 2004 set off tremors in San Andreas fault
In the last few years there has been a growing number of documented cases in which large earthquakes set off unfelt tremors in earthquake faults hundreds, sometimes even thousands, of miles away. view more (2008-12-11)
Star crust 10 billion times stronger than steel, IU physicist finds
Research by a theoretical physicist at Indiana University shows that the crusts of neutron stars are 10 billion times stronger than steel or any other of the earth's strongest metal alloys. view more (2009-05-07)
Young Galaxy's Magnetism Surprises Astronomers
Astronomers have made the first direct measurement of the magnetic field in a young, distant galaxy, and the result is a big surprise. view more (2008-10-02)
Arctic expeditions find giant mud waves, glacier tracks
Scientists gathering evidence of ancient ice sheets uncovered a new mystery about what's happening on the Arctic sea floor today. Sonar images revealed that, in some places, ocean currents have driven the mud along the Arctic Ocean bottom into piles, with some "mud waves" nearly 100 feet across. view more (2007-12-13)
Brain Wave Monitor Could Replace Lumbar Puncture
Scientists in Southampton have developed non-invasive technology to measure the fluid pressure in the brain safely and painlessly which they hope will eventually reduce the need for a lumbar puncture. Collaborators in London now believe it could be a major advance in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as meningitis, head injury and... view more... (2004-12-16)
In new statistical approach, data decide model
A data-driven computational approach developed by a University of Illinois statistician is revealing secrets about inner Earth and discovering unique gene expressions in fruit flies, zebra fish and other living organisms. view more (2007-05-24)
ESF and Science launch new website for career development
Thanks to financial support from the ESF, scientists in 27 European countries will now be able to access Next Wave Europe, a new website offering online career development and information resources for PhD and postdoctoral researchers on the European continent. Next Wave Europe (http://www.nextwave.org/europe/) will roll out to an entire... view more... (2002-05-13)
Detailed echoes from inside the body
In the early days of medical ultrasound, physicians only saw shadowy outlines of the structures inside the body. Today's techniques are not only capable of providing still and moving images of very high resolution. They can be used to measure the rate of blood flow or even discern signs of hardening of the arteries: Where the walls of the blood... view more... (2003-03-11)
Making waves in cancer detection
We`re all familiar with X-rays being used to look inside our bodies. But according to physicists, medical imaging in the future is likely to be based on an as yet unused type of radiation known as terahertz radiation. view more (2002-07-23)
Queen's marine biologist investigates aliens beneath the waves
Queen's University Belfast is appealing for help from the public in looking at ways to detect and stop the spread of marine aliens. view more (2008-06-17)
Catch the wave
MIT researchers are working with Portuguese colleagues to design a pilot-scale device that will capture significantly more of the energy in ocean waves than existing systems, and use it to power an electricity-generating turbine. view more (2008-12-17)
Increased flow of groundwater after earthquakes suggests oil extraction applications
The most obvious manifestation of an earthquake is the shaking from seismic waves that knocks down buildings and rattles people. Now researchers have established a more subtle effect of this shaking—it increases the permeability of rock to groundwater and other fluids. view more (2006-06-29)
American distinction for Professor De Hoop
Prof.Dr.Ir. (Adrianus) A.T. de Hoop, retired professor of TU Delft (the Netherlands), will receive the 2001 Heinrich Hertz Medal from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in the United Stated on 23 June. This distinction has been awarded to him for "his fundamental contributions to the theory of reciprocity and to the... view more... (2001-06-20)

Rubber 'snake' could help wave power get a bite of the energy market
A device consisting of a giant rubber tube may hold the key to producing affordable electricity from the energy in sea waves. view more (2008-07-07)
LIGO observations probe the dynamics of the crab pulsar
The search for gravitational waves has revealed new information about the core of one of the most famous objects in the sky: the Crab Pulsar in the Crab Nebula. view more (2008-06-03)
