Mayo Clinic ear, nose and throat surgeons have developed a promising new process for mandible (lower jaw) reconstruction following removal of oral cancer. view more (2006-06-28)
40,000-year-old skull shows both modern human and Neandertal traits
Humans continued to evolve significantly long after they were established in Europe, and interbred with Neandertals as they settled across the continent, according to new research published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) USA. view more (2007-01-16)
Study shows antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for increase in muscle infections
Researchers in Houston, Texas have found two bacterial muscle infections common in tropical countries becoming more frequent occurrences along with the emergence of community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA). view more (2006-09-07)
Scientists sequence DNA of woolly mammoth
Experts in ancient DNA from McMaster University (Canada) have teamed up with genome researchers from Penn State University (USA) for the investigation of permafrost bone samples from Siberia. view more (2005-12-20)
New Brain Test to Monitor Alzheimer's Disease
A new test that taps brain records so accurately it caught out a serial killer, could soon be used by pharmaceutical companies to speed up approval of drugs for Alzheimer's and other brain diseases, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry Magazine. 'Brain Fingerprinting' is the patented technology that can measure objectively, for the... view more... (2004-03-15)
Scientists explain source of mysterious tremors emanating from fault zones
Tiny tremors and temblors recently discovered in fault zones from California to Japan are generated by slow-moving earthquakes that may foreshadow catastrophic seismic events, according to scientists at Stanford University and the University of Tokyo. view more (2007-03-15)
European researchers successfully predict a major earthquake
Earthquakes are by far the most deadly natural disasters in the world. Since 1975, they have killed over 340,000 people. Since the beginning of this century, they have caused an average of 20,000 deaths each year. Unfortunately, until recently, there was no reliable scientific technique for forecasting forthcoming earthquakes. view more (1999-06-24)
Large earthquakes may broadcast warnings, but is anyone tuning in to listen?
Like geological ninjas, earthquakes can strike without warning. But there may be a way to detect the footfalls of large earthquakes before they strike, alerting their potential victims a week or more in advance. A Stanford professor thinks a method to provide just such warnings may have been buried in the scientific literature for over 40 years. view more (2007-12-13)
Resetting epigenetic code could aid lupus patients
Researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the University of Virginia hope to reset part of the "epigenetic code" in lupus patients and thus improve treatment. view more (2005-11-08)
Evolution of skull and mandible shape in cats
In a new study published in the online-open access journal PLoS ONE, Per Christiansen at the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen, Denmark, reports the finding that the evolution of skull and mandible shape in sabercats and modern cats were governed by different selective forces, and the two groups evolved very different adaptations to killing. view more (2008-07-30)
ASU, Walter Reed researchers create prosthesis of the future
Researchers at Arizona State University's Polytechnic campus and the Military Amputee Research Program at Walter Reed Army Medical Center are teaming up to create the next generation of powered prosthetic devices based on lightweight energy storing springs. view more (2007-05-02)
Scientists identified earthquake faults in Sichuan, China
Only last summer research published by earth scientists in the international journal Tectonics concluded that geological faults in the Sichuan Basin, China "are sufficiently long to sustain a strong ground-shaking earthquake, making them potentially serious sources of regional seismic hazard." view more (2008-05-19)
European space systems support management of natural and technological disasters
The European Space Agency, ESA, and the French Space Agency, CNES, signed a charter on 20 June 2000 to promote cooperation among space system operators in deploying their systems in the event of major natural or technological disasters. The charter was signed by Mr Antonio Rodot' , ESA's Director General, and Mr Gérard Brachet, Director... view more... (2000-06-22)
How to deflect an asteroid
STRANGE as it may seem, averting Armageddon isn`t the top priority for most asteroid hunters. They`d be happy just to know where the rock that could wipe out life on Earth will come from. But an astronomer in Italy thinks he can save the world-with space-based missiles. By the end of the decade,... view more... (2002-02-13)
Batter out: Umpires likely to favor pitchers of the same race or ethnicity
Umpires for Major League Baseball are more likely to call strikes in favor of pitchers who share their race or ethnicity, according to new research from The University of Texas at Austin. view more (2007-08-14)
PIONEERING LOW-COST MEDICAL SCANNER DEVELOPED IN THE UK
A new type of medical imaging camera which is much less expensive than its conventional counterpart has been developed by researchers funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. The imaging method - positron emission tomography - is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis of many diseases, especially cancer.Clinical... view more... (2000-07-10)
Micronesian Islands colonized by small-bodied humans
Since the reporting of the so-called "hobbit" fossil from the island of Flores in Indonesia, debate has raged as to whether these remains are of modern humans (Homo sapiens), reduced, for some reason, in stature, or whether they represent a new species, Homo floresiensis. view more (2008-03-11)
