Human Genetic Research: House Of Lords Debate
As the second main item of business on Tuesday 15 January (starting between about 5pm and 6pm), the House of Lords is to debate the Science and Technology Committee's recent report Human Genetic Databases: challenges and opportunities together with the Government's response. The debate will be opened by Lord Oxburgh (Ron Oxburgh, the former Rector... view more... (2002-01-09)
An irregular heartbeat makes exercise deadly
The results of a study in mice that was conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt University has provided a potential explanation for why the heartbeat of humans lacking the protein cardiac calsequestrin (CASQ2) is irregular, and potentially fatal, only during exercise and not at other times. view more (2006-08-25)
Tiny fuel cell might replace batteries in laptop computers, portable electronics
If you're frustrated by frequently losing battery power in your laptop computer, digital camera or portable music player, then take heart: A better source of "juice" is in the works. view more (2006-09-13)
A warmer world might not be a wetter one
A NASA study is offering new insight into how the Earth's water cycle might be influenced by global change. view more (2005-10-17)
New record for information storage and retrieval lifetime advances quantum networks
Physicists have taken a significant step toward creation of quantum networks by establishing a new record for the length of time that quantum information can be stored in and retrieved from an ensemble of very cold atoms. view more (2008-12-08)
Beneficial effects of no-till farming depend upon future climate change
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming. view more (2005-10-13)
MIT researchers fired up about battery alternative
Just about everything that runs on batteries - flashlights, cell phones, electric cars, missile-guidance systems - would be improved with a better energy supply. But traditional batteries haven't progressed far beyond the basic design developed by Alessandro Volta in the 19th century. view more (2006-02-08)
UCSD study clarifies insulin's role in blocking release of energy in patients with type II diabetes
Chronically high levels of insulin, as is found in many people with obesity and Type II diabetes, may block specific hormones that trigger energy release into the body. view more (2005-09-23)
Scientists Create the First Synthetic Nanoscale Fractal Molecule
From snowflakes to the leaves on a tree, objects in nature are made of irregular molecules called fractals. Scientists now have created and captured an image of the largest man-made fractal molecule at the nanoscale. view more (2006-05-12)
Deep-sea sediments could safely store man-made carbon dioxide
An innovative solution for the man-made carbon dioxide fouling our skies could rest far beneath the surface of the ocean, say scientists at Harvard University. view more (2006-08-08)
Nature can help reduce greenhouse gas, but only to a point
Plants apparently do much less than previously thought to counteract global warming, according to a paper to be published in next week's online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-04-11)
North Sea efficient sink for carbon dioxide
The measured annual increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is only 60 percent of the annual emissions from fossil fuels. view more (2005-10-11)
Montreal researchers probe the genetic basis of memory
A group of Montreal researchers has discovered that GCN2, a protein in cells that inhibits the conversion of new information into long-term memory, may be a master regulator of the switch from short-term to long-term memory. view more (2005-08-31)
Tiny 'cages' could trap carbon dioxide and help stop climate change
A natural physical process has been identified that could play a key role in secure sub-seabed storage of carbon dioxide produced by fossil-fuelled power stations. view more (2006-03-17)
Gene linked to rare disease activates fat breakdown
A gene earlier linked to a rare disease plays a critical role in the body's "finely tuned balance" of fat storage and break down, new evidence reported in the May Cell Metabolism reveals. view more (2006-05-10)
Cold storage solution for global warming?
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the British Geological Society (BGS) have proposed storing CO2 in huge underground reservoirs as a way of reducing emissions- and have even identified sites in Western Europe that would be suitable. view more (2007-02-07)
UCLA, University of Michigan Chemists Report Progress in Quest to Use Hydrogen as Fuel for Cars and Electronic Devices
Chemists at UCLA and the University of Michigan report an advance toward the goal of cars that run on hydrogen rather than gasoline. view more (2006-03-08)
Gene makes muscles in the obese store more fat
The gene encoding an enzyme that hinders muscle from burning fat manufactures three times more enzyme in the muscle of obese people than lean people. view more (2005-10-12)
Conscious and unconscious memory linked in storing new information
The way the brain stores new, conscious information such as a first kiss or a childhood home is strongly linked to the way the human brain stores unconscious information, researchers at Yale report this month in an article featured on the cover of Neuron. view more (2006-04-04)
Water and Nanoelectronics Will Mix to Create Ultra-Dense Memory Storage Devices, Researchers Say
Excessive moisture can typically wreak havoc on electronic devices, but now researchers have demonstrated that a little water can help create ultra-dense storage systems for computers and electronics. view more (2006-04-28)
