Light-induced hormone surge points to benefits of light therapy
A report in the November Cell Metabolism reveals powerful effects of light on the adrenal glands, a finding that might explain the broad benefits of bright light therapy for a variety of conditions, including sleep and depressive disorders, according to researchers. view more (2005-11-09)
Travelers can avoid jet lag by resetting their body clocks
A simple, at-home treatment - a single light box and the over-the-counter drug melatonin - allows travelers to avoid jet lag by resetting their circadian body clock before crossing several time zones. view more (2005-11-02)
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)
Gene that makes people 'early to bed and early to rise' demystified
The recent discovery that a mutant "clock" gene made some people "early to bed and early to rise," a condition known as familial advanced sleep phase syndrome (FASPS), offered one of the first glimpses into the genetic basis of sleep in humans. view more (2007-01-12)
MAGIC discovers variable very high energy gamma-ray emission from a microquasar
In a recent issue of Science Magazine, the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray ImagingCherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope has reported the discovery of variable very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from a microquasar. view more (2006-05-19)
The hormone of darkness: melatonin could hurt memory formation at night
What do you do when a naturally occurring hormone in your body turns against you? What do you do when that same hormone - melatonin - is a popular supplement you take to help you sleep? A University of Houston professor and his team of researchers may have some answers. view more (2007-11-16)
Voyager data may reveal trajectory of solar system
Nearly 30 years after launch, the two Voyager spacecraft are still operational and returning useful data. In their early years they produced some of the first close up images of the large outer planets. view more (2006-05-31)
The tropics may be expanding
Atmospheric temperature measurements by U.S. weather satellites indicate Earth's hot, tropical zone has expanded farther from the equator since 1979, says a study by scientists from the University of Utah and University of Washington. view more (2006-05-26)
New Cassini images show Northern Lights of Saturn
New images of Saturn obtained by a University of Colorado at Boulder-led team on June 21 using an instrument on the Cassini spacecraft show auroral emissions at its poles similar to Earth's Northern Lights. view more (2005-08-08)
NASA'S Cassini spacecraft captures Saturnian moon ballet
The cold, icy orbs of the Saturn system come to life in a slew of new movie clips showing the ringed planet's moons in motion. view more (2006-06-22)
NASA'S live tropical sea surface temperature Web site gives climate, hurricane clues
Sea surface temperatures give scientists information about ocean currents, climate, climate change and how a hurricane may evolve. Now, NASA has a web page that provides frequent updates on changing ocean temperatures. view more (2006-10-13)
Research Cruise To Understand Major Changes In Atlantic
Scientists at the University of Liverpool are embarking on a research cruise to help them understand recent major changes in the temperature of the Atlantic. view more (2005-05-10)
Fighting sound with sound, new modeling technique could quiet aircraft
Newly published research by a Princeton engineer suggests that understanding how air travels across the sunroof of a car may one day make jet engines less noisy. view more (2006-02-27)
More evidence mammals, fruit flies share make-up on function of biological clocks
A study by researchers at New York University and the University of London offers additional evidence that mammals and fruit flies share a common genetic makeup that determines the function of their internal biological clocks. The study appears in the latest issue of Current Biology. view more (2006-03-07)
Lighting up the heart
A major breakthrough in research could lead to improved recovery of the heart when it is re-started after a heart attack or cardiac surgery. view more (2006-09-22)
Organised wind chaos on Jupiter
Jupiter, the largest planet of our solar system, offers a fascinating view. A number of Bands of different coloured clouds seem to embrace the planet like belts. view more (2005-11-10)
Team moves toward silent, eco-friendly plane
MIT and Cambridge University researchers will unveil the conceptual design for a silent, environmentally friendly passenger plane at a press conference Monday, Nov. 6, at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London. view more (2006-11-07)
Increased flow of groundwater after earthquakes suggests oil extraction applications
The most obvious manifestation of an earthquake is the shaking from seismic waves that knocks down buildings and rattles people. Now researchers have established a more subtle effect of this shaking—it increases the permeability of rock to groundwater and other fluids. view more (2006-06-29)
Mapping Orion's winds
For the past few months, Bob O'Dell has been mapping the winds blowing in the Orion Nebula, the closest stellar nursery similar to the one in which the sun was born. view more (2006-01-11)
Faster atmospheric warming in subtropics pushes jet streams toward poles
The atmosphere is warming faster in subtropical areas, around 30 degrees north and south latitude, than it is elsewhere, University of Washington-led research shows. view more (2006-05-26)
