New fingerprint breakthrough by forensic scientists
Forensic scientists at the University of Leicester, working with Northamptonshire Police, have announced a major breakthrough in crime detection which could lead to hundreds of cold cases being reopened.   view more (2008-06-03)

The world's largest particle accelerator has been completed
The last quadripolar magnet was brought down into the tunnel of the world's largest particle accelerator; the CERN's1 LHC, or Large Hadron Collidor.   view more (2007-04-02)

Flip flops, mulch and no coat
At a time when over half of US children (aged 3-6) are in child care centers, and growing concern over childhood obesity has led physicians to focus on whether children are getting enough physical activity, a new study of outdoor physical activity at child care centers, conducted by researchers at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, has... view more...

Venus comes to life at wavelengths invisible to human eyes
A pale yellow-green dot to the human eye, Earth's twin planet comes to life in the ultraviolet and the infrared. New images taken by instruments on board ESA's Venus Express provide insight into the turbulent atmosphere of our neighbouring planet.   view more (2008-12-04)

Vitamin D is the 'it' nutrient of the moment
Vitamin D is quickly becoming the "it" nutrient with health benefits for diseases, including cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease and now diabetes.   view more (2009-01-13)

Extraordinary life found around deep-sea gas seeps
An international team led by scientists from the United States and New Zealand have observed, for the first time, the bizarre deep-sea communities living around methane seeps off New Zealand's east coast.   view more (2006-11-21)

Low vitamin E intake during pregnancy can lead to childhood asthma
Children whose mothers had a low intake of vitamin E during pregnancy are more likely to develop wheezing and asthma by age five.   view more (2006-09-01)

Cold climate produced by algae contributed to onset of multicellular life
The rise of multicellular animals about 540 million years ago was a turning point in the history of life. A group of Finnish scientists suggests a new climate-biosphere interaction mechanism for the underlying processes in a new study.   view more (2007-02-14)

Study sheds new light on early star formation in the universe
A groundbreaking study has provided new insight into the way the first stars were formed at the start of the Universe, some 13 billion years ago.   view more (2007-09-14)

New method shows that neocortical nerve cells are not renewed
Most bodily organs continually die and regrow a little at a time. It takes two years, for example, for all the cells of the liver to be replaced by fresh ones. Research from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden now shows that there is one important exception to this - the nerve cells of the brain remain the same throughout a person's life.   view more (2006-08-14)

Discovering an ecosystem beneath a collapsed Antarctic ice shelf
The chance discovery of a vast ecosystem beneath the collapsed Larsen Ice Shelf will allow scientists to explore the uncharted life below Antarctica's floating ice shelves and further probe the origins of life in extreme environments.   view more (2005-07-19)

Influenza spreads readily in winter conditions
Low temperatures and relative humidities have been linked to the rapid spread of influenza in a new study by researchers, led by Dr. Peter Palese, from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. The study, published in PLoS Pathogens, supports the theory of the seasonal flu.   view more (2007-10-19)

New Vaccine Developed for Preventing 'Uncommon Cold' Virus
Common colds typically cause a week of sneezing, aches and pains and then fade away leaving only a sore nose and a few used sick days behind. But what if that cold turned out to be something more?   view more (2009-02-03)

Live H5N1 avian flu virus vaccines show protection in animal studies
When tested in mice and ferrets, experimental vaccines based on live, weakened versions of different strains of the H5N1 avian influenza virus were well-tolerated and protected the animals from a deadly infection with naturally occurring H5N1 flu viruses.   view more (2006-09-13)

Radiation-killed bacteria vaccine induces broad immune response in mice
Vaccines made with bacteria killed by gamma irradiation, rather than by standard methods of heat or chemical inactivation, may be more effective, say researchers supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).   view more (2006-07-26)

Built-in molecular brakes curb the sniffles
Researchers at Johns Hopkins have discovered how our anti-infection machinery turns itself down and limits the sniffles, congestion and fevers that are a side effect of the campaign against invading viruses.   view more (2007-01-18)

Will an ozone hole develop over the Arctic? A press briefing at the research site
The Theseo presentation will mark the beginning of a decisive period in the development of the Arctic stratosphere. Over the last ten years or so, cold winters have been a prerequisite for maximum ozone depletion, and scientists now understand the chemical processes in the stratosphere that cause the phenomenon. It has been very cold during... view more... (2000-01-21)
