NASA finds direct proof of dark matter
Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies. The discovery, using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, gives direct evidence for the existence of dark matter. view more (2006-08-22)
Study says eyes evolved for X-Ray vision
The advantage of using two eyes to see the world around us has long been associated solely with our capacity to see in 3-D. Now, a new study from a scientist at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has uncovered a truly eye-opening advantage to binocular vision: our ability to see through things. view more (2008-08-29)
The evolution of right- and left-handedness
A study from the April issue of Current Anthropology explores the evolution of handedness, one of few firm behavioral boundaries separating humans from other animals. view more (2006-03-01)
Stress fast tracks puberty
Stress, such as that brought on by parental separation and absentee fathers, fast tracks puberty, say researchers in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. view more (2006-10-19)
Water detection at Gusev crater described
A large team of NASA scientists, led by earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis details the first solid set of evidence for water having existed on Mars at the Gusev crater, exploration site of the rover Spirit. view more (2005-09-08)
Human and chimp genomes reveal new twist on origin of species
The evolutionary split between human and chimpanzee is much more recent - and more complicated - than previously thought. view more (2006-05-18)
NJIT professor discovers better way to desalinate water
Chemical engineer Kamalesh Sirkar, PhD, a distinguished professor at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and an expert in membrane separation technology, is leading a team of researchers to develop a breakthrough method to desalinate water. view more (2006-02-10)
New technique improves purity of medicines
Dutch researcher Roelof Mol has investigated possibilities for more accurately determining the composition of medicines. He came up with a combination of two techniques that were previously considered to be incompatible: the separation technique electrokinetic chromatography (EKC) and the detection technique mass spectroscopy (MS). view more (2007-10-25)
From 2-D blueprint, material assembles into novel 3-D nanostructures
An international team of scientists affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center has coaxed a self-assembling material into forming never-before-seen, three-dimensional nanoscale structures, with potential applications ranging from catalysis and chemical separation to semiconductor manufacturing. view more (2006-01-30)
Proba-3: ESA's first step towards formation flying
Proba-3 is the third in ESA's series of missions for validating developments in space systems while carrying an 'added value' user payload which can directly benefit from the innovations under test. view more (2006-08-10)
New membrane strips carbon dioxide from natural gas faster and better
A modified plastic material greatly improves the ability to separate global warming-linked carbon dioxide from natural gas as the gas is prepared for use, according to engineers at The University of Texas at Austin who have analyzed the new plastic's performance. view more (2007-10-12)
Protein connections: A network to understand disease
In the 1990s, the notion of "six degrees of separation" emphasized human linkages that connected people around the world. view more (2006-05-19)
Improving your diet may not help you beat stress
Research published online in the Journal of Proteome Research, shows how improving the diet of rats placed in stressful environments did not normalise their metabolic profile, an indicator of their health. view more (2006-07-06)
First Direct Observations of Spinons and Holons
Working at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) of the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, a team of researchers has observed the theoretical prediction of electron "spin-charge separation" in a one-dimensional solid. view more (2006-07-17)
Clash of clusters provides new dark matter clue
A powerful collision between galaxy clusters has been captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This clash of clusters provides striking evidence for dark matter and insight into its properties. view more (2008-08-28)
Low-cost microfluidics can be a sticky problem
A deceptively simple approach to bonding thermoplastic microchannel plates together with solvent could be used for low-cost, high-volume production of disposable "lab-on-a-chip" devices, according to researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and George Mason University (GMU). view more (2006-05-15)
Researchers shed light on shrinking of chromosomes
A human cell contains an enormous 1.8 metres of DNA partitioned into 46 chromosomes. view more (2007-06-12)
Research reveals married women diet much more than single women
A post-graduate economics researcher at the University of Warwick has surprisingly found that married women are much more likely to be on a diet than their single counter-parts - a result that totally contradicts current economic theories on dieting. University of Warwick economics post-graduate Matthew Bending found that 41.5% of married women... view more... (2004-07-19)
No trouble removing oil from water
A simple tank-and-siphon system for removing oil from oily water and protecting the environment is about to be launched internationally by an engineering team from the University of New South Wales. view more (2005-08-05)
Separation from mom, dad linked with learning trouble in kids
In the wake of divorce, illness, violence and other problems that can unsettle homes, countless young children are liable to experience temporary separations from one or both parents before packing their knapsack for kindergarten. view more (2008-05-16)
