University of Minnesota astronomers find gaping hole in the Universe
University of Minnesota astronomers have found an enormous hole in the Universe, nearly a billion light-years across, empty of both normal matter such as stars, galaxies and gas, as well as the mysterious, unseen "dark matter." While earlier studies have shown holes, or voids, in the large-scale structure of the Universe, this new... view more... (2007-08-24)
UCF, UCLA astronomers first to measure night and day on extrasolar planet
University of Central Florida Astronomy professor Joseph Harrington and University of California at Los Angeles professor Brad M. Hansen and their team have made the first direct observation of distinct day and night temperatures on a planet orbiting another star. view more (2006-10-13)
The secret to long life
What controls lifespan? An intriguing new twist is emerging from the work of Professor Heinz Osiewacz (Frankfurt) using a short-lived fungus. He has discovered that when there is a mutation in the gene, Grisea, that controls copper uptake into cells, the fungus can live 60% longer than their normal wild-types. Why is this? Professor Osiewacz... view more... (2001-04-04)
Quasar light variability linked to black hole mass
Quasars are some of the most luminous and distant objects in the universe - and appear to have something in common with ordinary light bulbs. view more (2007-01-09)
Study of nutrients' effects on brain provides insight into appetite regulation
A cell-signaling pathway in the brain that is linked to the development of cancer and diabetes is also a key part of networks that regulate food intake, say University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers. view more (2006-05-12)
Dark energy -- 10 years on
Three quarters of our universe is made up of some weird, gravitationally repulsive substance that was only discovered ten years ago - dark energy. view more (2007-11-30)
Sandia-developed device determines how well wind turbines operate
In West Texas, New Mexico, and other places around the world, wind turbines are used to generate electricity. But how can engineers determine their efficiency and health? view more (2006-07-27)
Carbon fiber cars could put U.S. on highway to efficiency
Highways of tomorrow might be filled with lighter, cleaner and more fuel-efficient automobiles made in part from recycled plastics, lignin from wood pulp and cellulose. view more (2006-03-07)
Scientists shed light on the mystery of photosynthesis
Scientists at the University of Sheffield are part of an international team that has become the first to successfully discover how the component parts of photosynthesis fit together within the cell membrane. In a paper, The native architecture of a photosynthetic membrane, published in Nature on 26 August 2004, they describe how the configuration... view more... (2004-08-25)
Titania nanoparticles could lead to improved sensors and solar energy
Nanostructured titania (TiO2) has been extensively studied as a very promising material for applications in sensors, photocatalysis, solar energy conversion and optical coatings. view more (2005-12-06)
Sperm stem cells closer to being like embryonic stem cells
New experiments that prevented rat sperm stem cells from changing permanently into sperm have brought researchers one step closer to coaxing such cells to behave like embryonic stem cells, capable of growing into many other types of cells in the body. view more (2005-11-16)
Energy drinks: The coffee of a new generation?
It's not uncommon for students to consume energy drinks to increase their concentration as they study throughout the night. view more (2009-02-06)
Recycling wind turbines
The development of wind power promises much in terms of providing us with renewable energy for the future and wind turbines could be the most effective way to harness that power. view more (2007-09-21)
Estrogen curbs appetite in same way as the hormone leptin
Estrogen regulates the brain's energy metabolism in the same way as the hormone leptin, leading the way to a viable approach to tackling obesity in people resistant to leptin. view more (2007-01-04)
Direct photon properties reveal secrets of extreme nuclear states
When atomic nuclei are smashed together at great speed, resulting temperatures exceed one trillion degrees, 200 million times hotter than the surface of the sun. view more (2006-04-26)
Well-informed citizens consider CO2 storage to be acceptable
When energy is generated from fossil fuels, the greenhouse gases produced contribute to climate change. By capturing the CO2 produced and storing it underground, a major objection to the use of fossil fuels can be overcome. view more (2006-04-19)
Everybody dance: The energy you use won't shorten your life
The theory that animals die when they've expended their lifetime allotment of energy may be reaching the end of its own life, according to a study presented at The American Physiological Society conference, Comparative Physiology 2006. view more (2006-10-09)
Sunscreens from the sea
Tiny floating plants protect themselves against the damaging effects of the sun's ultra violet rays using compounds that may prove very useful to the skincare industry. Scientists at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory are now working with Boots Company plc to develop the potential of these natural sunscreens for human skincare. "Because... view more... (2001-07-18)
Media invitation: Wind - Power of the Future
Hot on the heels of its recent report The Cost of Generating Electricity, the Royal Academy of Engineering is co-hosting a topical lecture entitled 'Wind Energy - Powering the Future'. The lecture will take place on Monday 15 March at The Royal Society of Edinburgh. Guest speaker, Dr Ian Mays, is Managing Director of Renewable Energy Systems Ltd... view more... (2004-03-11)
Mayo Clinic shows adding activity to video games fights obesity
If playing video games makes kids less active - and contributes to obesity - why not create more video games that require activity? That's the question prompted by a Mayo Clinic research study published in the current issue of the medical journal Pediatrics. view more (2007-01-05)
