If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich?
Psychology can’t provide you with ‘get-rich-quick’ schemes, but it can tell you the reasons behind peoples’ economic behaviour. The two main elements of economic behaviour, working and buying, take up half the waking hours of half the population, and psychology is ideally placed to offer impartial advice about it. These are... view more... (2000-07-21)
Gazelles shrink liver and heart to reduce oxygen consumption during drought
How do gazelles and other large desert mammals adjust their physiology to survive when food and water are in short supply? view more (2006-06-09)
Disposable catheter breakthrough, a world first
A unique low cost disposable solid-state catheter that can measure swallowing pressure has been developed by a University of South Australia research team using intelligent manufacturing processes that eliminate the infection risks posed by existing catheters. view more (2006-02-06)
Scientific design of GM farm-scale evaluations made public
The 40th anniversary issue of the British Ecology Society's Journal of Applied Ecology this month leads with two major papers describing the background, methodology and experimental design of the farm-scale evaluations of genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops. In laying out the statistical design and methods of data collection for the... view more... (2003-02-07)
Unified physics theory explains animals' running, flying and swimming
A single unifying physics theory can essentially describe how animals of every ilk, from flying insects to fish, get around, researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Pennsylvania State University have found. The team reports that all animals bear the same stamp of physics in their design. view more (2005-12-30)
Bacteria increase risk of lower stomach cancer, decreases risk of upper
The bacteria Helicobacter pylori substantially increase the risk of cancer in the lower stomach, but it may decrease the risk of cancer near the junction between the esophagus and the stomach. view more (2006-10-18)
Diabetic hearts make unhealthy switch to high-fat diet
The high-fat "diet" that diabetic heart muscle consumes helps make cardiovascular disease the most common killer of diabetic patients, according to a study done at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2006-02-06)
Researchers build an ultrasound version of the laser
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and at the University of Missouri at Rolla have built an ultrasound analogue of the laser. view more (2006-06-09)
Researchers break chain of biochemical events that brain cancer cells use to evade therapy
In their quest to find and exploit vulnerabilities in the natural armor that protects malignant brain tumors from destruction, researchers have found a way to decrease the cells resistance to therapies that are designed to trigger cell death. view more (2006-02-06)
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...

Memory design breakthrough can lead to faster computers
Team improves infinitesimal rings for speedy, reliable, efficient magnetic memory. Imagine a computer that doesn't lose data even in a sudden power outage, or a coin-sized hard drive that could store 100 or more movies. view more (2006-01-12)
Connect the Quantum Dots
By using the unique photophysical properties of quantum dots, researchers Drs. Francisco Raymo, Ibrahim Yildiz, and Massimilliano Tomasulo were able to identify operating principles to probe molecular recognition events with luminescence measurements. view more (2006-07-19)
Slowing the racing heart
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago explain in the May 11 issue of Circulation Research how an enzyme acts on the heart's pacemaker to slow the rapid beating of the heart's "fight-or-flight" reaction to adrenaline. view more (2007-05-14)
Salt intake is strongly associated with obesity
A study published in the journal "Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases" refutes the frequently repeated claims that a comprehensive salt reduction would not produce any overall health benefits, or would even increase diseases and shorten the life-span. view more (2006-11-02)
Optimising the control of wind generators by means of intelligent microsensors
The School of Engineering at Bayonne (ESTIA) is working on a research project on control optimisation for the latest-generation wind generators using intelligent microsensors. view more (2006-04-25)
New device from CU physicist tests uncertainty principle to unprecedented level — and shows that looks can cool
In the submicroscopic world - the domain of elementary particles and individual atoms - things behave in the strange, counter-intuitive fashion governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. view more (2006-09-25)
Ecstasy can harm the brains of first-time users
Researchers have discovered that even a small amount of MDMA, better known as ecstasy, can be harmful to the brain, according to the first study to look at the neurotoxic effects of low doses of the recreational drug in new ecstasy users. view more (2006-11-28)
Step on the gas — New fuel cell design adds control, reduces complexity
When Princeton University engineers want to increase the power output of their new fuel cell, they just give it a little more gas - hydrogen gas, to be exact. view more (2007-01-17)
Researchers find molecular 'brake' to cell death
Researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center have significantly refined the scientific understanding of how a cell begins the process of self-destruction—an advance they say may help in the design of more targeted cancer therapies. view more (2006-06-30)
Overfishing puts Southern California kelp forest ecosystems at risk, report scientists
Kelp forest ecosystems that span the West Coast -- from Alaska to Mexico's Baja Peninsula -- are at greater risk from overfishing than from the effects of run-off from fertilizers or sewage on the shore. view more (2006-05-26)
