New malaria enzyme laid bare with help of computer calculations
Using only computers, a research team at Uppsala University in Sweden has managed to reveal both the structure and the function of a newly discovered enzyme from the most dangerous malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. All that was needed was the amino acid sequence of the enzyme. The findings may represent a breakthrough for future... view more... (2004-12-07)
Transistor laser functions as non-linear electronic switch, processor
The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and permit its use as a dual-input, dual-output, high-frequency signal processor. view more (2006-02-07)
Life's a beach
Scientists at Plymouth Marine Laboratory are developing new methods to rapidly assess the biodiversity of living organisms on beaches and other marine environments. They have already found many new creatures which have not been classified in previous studies. view more (2004-08-25)
Forecasting the Next Great San Francisco Earthquake
The San Francisco Bay region has a 25 percent chance of a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake in the next 20 years, and a roughly 1 percent chance of such an earthquake each year, according to the "Virtual California" computer simulation. view more (2005-10-14)
Big Bang theory saved
An apparent discrepancy in the Big Bang theory of the universe's evolution has been reconciled by astrophysicists examining the movement of gases in stars. view more (2006-10-27)
The mechanics of foot travel
Despite having the bones and muscles to perform a variety of gaits, human beings have developed an overwhelming preference for just two: walking and running. view more (2005-09-19)
Ultrafast star escapes black hole
Galactic nuclei are the cores of galaxies, groups of thousands to millions of stars that are held together by gravity. As stars in the nucleus are so close together, interactions readily occur. view more (2006-10-05)
Cracking the genetic code for control of gene expression
Molecular biologists, developmental biologists and computer scientists at the Universtity of Helsinki, Finland, came together to advance towards cracking the code for how gene expression is controlled. view more (2006-01-13)
Worm's hunger response provides clue to eating disorders
In research that may have implications for studying eating disorders in humans, a worm the size of a pinhead is helping researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center unravel the mechanisms of hunger. view more (2006-04-05)
Tiny roundworm's telomeres help scientists to tease apart different types of aging
The continual and inevitable shortening of telomeres, the protective "caps" at the end of all 46 human chromosomes, has been linked to aging and physical decline. view more (2005-08-08)
Quantum computer solves problem, without running
By combining quantum computation and quantum interrogation, scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found an exotic way of determining an answer to an algorithm - without ever running the algorithm. view more (2006-02-23)
Breakthrough in computer chip design eliminates wires in data transmission
Research slated to appear in the October 2 edition of the Optical Society of America's (OSA) Optics Express will unveil that researchers have created a new laser-silicon hybrid computer chip that can produce laser beams that will make it possible to use laser light rather than wires to send data between chips, removing the most significant... view more...

NIST demonstrates better memory with quantum computer bits
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have used charged atoms (ions) to demonstrate a quantum physics version of computer memory lasting longer than 10 seconds-more than 100,000 times longer than in previous experiments on the same ions. view more (2005-08-11)
Study provides new insights into brain organisation
Scientists have provided new insights into how the brain is organised-knowledge which could eventually inform diagnosis of and treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's Disease and autism. view more (2006-08-02)
Hidden sponges determine coral reef's nutrient cycle
Marine organisms hidden in caves, such as sponges, play an extremely important role in the nutrient cycle of coral reefs. view more (2005-09-15)
'Dead Zone' causing wave of death off Oregon coast
The most severe low-oxygen ocean conditions ever observed on the West Coast of the United States have turned parts of the seafloor off Oregon into a carpet of dead Dungeness crabs and rotting sea worms, a new survey shows. Virtually all of the fish appear to have fled the area. view more (2006-08-11)
New Lifespan Extension Genes Found
New genes tied to lifespan extension in yeast have been identified by researchers from UC Davis and Harvard Medical School. view more (2005-10-03)
Scientists model 900 cell receptors, drug targets
In an important step toward accelerating drug discovery, researchers have created computer models of more than 900 cell receptors from a class of proteins known to be important drug targets. view more (2006-02-17)
Have you ever seen an elephant...run?
If an elephant is thundering towards you at 15mph you are probably not too concerned with the finer points of biomechanics or the thorny question about whether they are truly running or not. view more (2006-08-21)
Bread mold may hold secret to eliminating disease-causing genes
When most people discover mold on their bread, they immediately throw it out. Others see a world of possibilities in the tiny fungus. A University of Missouri scientist, along with a collaborative research team, has examined a new mechanism in the reproductive cycle of a certain species of mold. view more (2008-05-09)
