A team from the University of Leicester has used a powerful laser mounted on an aircraft to uncover earthquake fault lines that are hidden by forest cover and never before seen by earth scientists.   view more (2006-11-08)

Greenland's thinning ice sheet could be saved by snow
A study conducted by an expert at the University of Sheffield and officials at NASA has found that while Greenland's ice is certainly thinning, snowfall in some areas is increasing, with levels in south-east Greenland in the past year being three times higher than is usual. This opens debate as to... view more (2004-12-20)

Two new lakes found beneath Antarctic ice sheet
The Earth Institute at Columbia University-Lying beneath more than two miles of Antarctic ice, Lake Vostok may be the best-known and largest subglacial lake in the world, but it is not alone down there.   view more (2006-01-26)

Tiny infrared laser holds promise as weapon against terror
The difficulty of detecting the presence of explosives and chemical warfare agents (CWAs) is once again all too apparent in the news about the London bombings.   view more (2005-08-08)

Inside rocks, implications for finding life on Mars
If a future space mission to Mars brings rocks back to Earth, Schopf said the techniques he has used, called confocal laser scanning microscopy and Raman spectroscopy, could enable scientists to look at microscopic fossils inside the rocks to search for signs of life, such as organic cell walls.   view more (2006-02-01)

Hummingbird flight an evolutionary marvel
Humans with an appreciation of beauty may have marveled for millennia at the artistry of a darting hummingbird, but scientists announced today that for the first time they can more fully explain how a hummingbird can hover.   view more (2005-06-23)

Rutgers researchers 'rewrite the book' in quantum statistical physics
An important part of the decades-old assumption thought to be essential for quantum statistical physics is being challenged by researchers at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and colleagues in Germany and Italy.   view more (2006-02-10)

Cosmetic plastic surgery patients chose needle over knife
Minimally-invasive cosmetic procedures are mostly performed in an outpatient setting, do not call for general anesthesia, require little to no downtime and usually cost less than the more invasive cosmetic surgeries.   view more (2006-03-17)

Scientists find mutations that let bird flu adapt to humans
By comparing influenza viruses found in birds with those of the avian virus that have also infected human hosts, researchers have identified key genetic changes required for pandemic strains of bird flu.   view more (2006-11-16)

Purdue scientists see biochemistry's future - with quantum physics
Chemists who have trouble predicting how some large, complex biological molecules will react with others may soon have a solution from the world of computational quantum physics.   view more (2005-09-16)

Astronomers use laser to take clearest images of the center of the Milky Way
UCLA astronomers and colleagues have taken the first clear picture of the center of our Milky Way galaxy, including the area surrounding the supermassive black hole, using a new laser virtual star at the W.M. Keck observatory in Hawaii.   view more (2005-12-21)

One reason to test premature babies early: Results provide clues to later cognitive development
Now a study from researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, N.Y., and the University of Ghent in Belgium, finds that early cognitive deficits in infancy such as poorer attention, slower processing speed and poorer recognition memory are important harbingers of later... view more (2005-11-14)

Gold nanoparticles show potential for noninvasive cancer treatment
Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco and Georgia Institute of Technology have found a new way to kill cancer cells. Building on their previous work that used gold nanoparticles to detect cancer, they now are heating the particles and using them as agents to destroy malignant... view more (2005-10-10)

Closing In On Quantum Chemistry
Researchers in the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley have simulated the process by which a quantum computer could calculate to high precision an important basic property of two small molecules.   view more (2005-09-09)

Scientists capture the speediest ever motion in a molecule
