El Ni'ħo was more intense 4000 years ago
Examination of fossil corals on Vanuatu have enabled scientists from IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement, ex-Orstom) based at Noumea to reconstruct the sequence of variations in sea surface temperature (SST) in the southwest Pacific Ocean that occurred over a period of 50 years, 4200 years B. P. (in the Holocene). Although... view more... (2000-11-07)
Music calms the fevered brow
Music is not just the food of love - it may also be a pain killer and lessen anxiety.

As Andean glacier retreats, tiny life forms swiftly move in, CU-Boulder study shows
A University of Colorado at Boulder team working at 16,400 feet in the Peruvian Andes has discovered how barren soils uncovered by retreating glacier ice can swiftly establish a thriving community of microbes, setting the table for lichens, mosses and alpine plants. view more (2008-09-09)
Research casts doubt on controversial scientific theory
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have cast doubt on the validity of the controversial theory of biological cold fusion, the principle sometimes used to lend credence to the practice of selling silicon tablets to strengthen bones, on the assumption that the body will turn the silicon into calcium. view more (2003-05-07)
EUROCORES conference gives cold quantum matter a European twist
Quantum matter has long fascinated the science community as many completely new physical phenomena have emerged from this field. Cold quantum matter can be used for applications such as high-precision clocks, which may run only one second behind per three million years! view more (2008-05-06)
Asthma epidemics linked to airflow patterns in thunderstorms
It's the airflow patterns in thunderstorms, rather than the electrical activity, thunder, or rain, which trigger asthma epidemics, concludes research in Thorax. The hospital admission rates for asthma and airflow patterns during thunderstorms up to 80 km away were studied for six towns in south eastern Australia between 1995 and 1998. Hourly... view more...

Menthol receptor also important in detecting cold temperatures
The ion channel activated by menthol also detects a wide range of cold temperatures and relays the information to the brain, according to a study in Nature by Yale School of Medicine, the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Wisconsin. view more (2007-06-08)
Predetermined winners and losers in the Ice Age extinction game
The Quaternary ice ages caused severe decimation of the European tree flora. Of the diverse pre-Ice Age tree flora only a minority of the genera are still widespread in Europe. Most of the remainder have been lost altogether from the European flora and now only occurs in Asia and/or North America, although some persist as relicts in southern... view more... (2003-07-02)
Dressman - the ironing robot
The main objective of the Dressman robot is to dry and press shirts. On placing a damp shirt on the ironing figure, this dummy inflates with hot air in its interior, and thus puffs the shirt up, removing creases drying the garment (it has to be previously wet and undergone a spin-dry in a washing machine). The device has a heater box inside with... view more... (2004-05-27)

Climate changes locked inside microfossils
Fossilised remains of sea creatures are commonly found in rocks in the mountains of the Basque Country. So, at some time in the past, Euskal Herria was under the sea. For example, during the Palaeocene period, some 65-55 million years ago. The region was then subtropical, and similar in appearance to the Australian Coral Reef. view more (2004-03-04)
Stress affects older adults more than young adults
Life can be stressful, whether you're an individual watching the stock market crash or a commuter stuck in traffic. A new study, forthcoming in the journal Psychological Science, examines how stress affects decision-making and finds that older adults alter their behavior more than young adults when under stress - particularly in situations... view more...
