New thinking needed on helping kids avoid or cope with homesickness
A new report urges parents and children's doctors to change their thinking about homesickness among children, to see it as a nearly universal but highly preventable and treatable phenomenon - rather than an unavoidable part of childhood. view more (2007-01-02)

Gene study shows three distinct groups of chimpanzees
The largest study to date of genetic variation among chimpanzees has found that the traditional, geography-based sorting of chimps into three populations—western, central and eastern—is underpinned by significant genetic differences, two to three times greater than the variation between the most different human populations. view more (2007-04-23)
Huygens test successful
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its fifteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 14 September 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last but one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year, and it included some... view more... (2004-09-17)
Successful Huygens test: last before separation
ESA's Huygens probe, now orbiting Saturn on board the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft, is in good health and successfully passed its sixteenth 'In-Flight Checkout' on 23 November 2004. This in-flight checkout procedure was the last one planned before separation of the Huygens probe from Cassini in December this year. The preliminary analysis of... view more... (2004-11-23)
Beagle 2 Information Note: Next Stop Mars!
We have separation! That was the message from the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Darmstadt, Germany, to announce that the British-built Beagle 2 spacecraft is now flying independently from its Mars Express "mother ship". Initial confirmation that the separation manoeuvre has been successful came at 10.42 GMT, when Mars... view more... (2003-12-19)
MIT's molecular sieve advances protein research
New MIT technology promises to speed up the accurate sorting of proteins, work that may ultimately aid in the detection and treatment of disease. view more (2006-09-14)
MIT sorts cells with beams of light
Separating out particular kinds of cells from a sample could become faster, cheaper and easier thanks to a new system developed by MIT researchers that involves levitating the cells with light. view more (2007-12-11)
Awards for young life sciences researchers
Three junior scientists have earned the Hugo Geiger Prize for their thesis papers this year: Frank Meinecke dealt with the separation of neural signals. Jochen Schwenk identified proteins in a fungus whereas Michaela Harz worked on a new biochemical sensor. view more (2004-11-09)
The gigantic respiration of crystalline solids
Previously, only amorphous polymer materials approached such levels of performance. On the other hand, these "gigantic respiration" and their respiration, which takes place at constant overall shape, is reversible. This discovery, of interest for numerous industrial applications, is published in the journal Science on March 30, 2007. view more (2007-04-02)
Huygens sets off with correct spin and speed
On Christmas Day 2004, the Cassini spacecraft flawlessly released ESA's Huygens probe, passing another challenging milestone for Cassini-Huygens mission. But, with no telemetry data from Huygens, how do we know the separation went well? view more (2005-01-11)
Antitumor agent under the microscope
Mechanical stabilization of DNA keeps tumor cells in check Cisplatin is one of the most widely employed cancer medications. As with many other chemotherapy agents, the mechanism by which it works has not been fully researched. Now, thanks to Munich physicists Hermann E. Gaub, Rupert Krautbauer, and Hauke Clausen-Schaumann, an important step toward... view more... (2000-10-30)
Lisa And The Search For Elusive Gravity Waves
For almost 100 years, scientists have been searching for direct evidence of the existence of gravity waves - faint ripples in the fabric of spacetime predicted in Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity. view more (2005-03-31)
University of Pennsylvania engineers discover natural 'workbench' for nanoscale construction
Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have taken a step toward simplifying the creation of nanostructures by identifying the first inorganic material to phase separate with near-perfect order at the nanometer scale. view more (2007-07-18)
International Society awards Professor for outstanding service
Michael Cox, Professorial Research Fellow at the University of Hertfordshire, will be awarded with the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) Lampitt Medal on the 30 September 2003. The presentation will take place at SCI's Belgrave Square Headquarters in London during a distinguished black tie dinner. The Lampitt Medal, given once a year, recognises... view more... (2003-09-30)
CryoSat Mission lost due to launch failure
Mr Yuri Bakhvalov, First Deputy Director General of the Khrunichev Space Centre on behalf of the Russian State Commission officially confirmed that the launch of CryoSat ended in a failure due to an anomaly in the launch sequence and expressed his regret to ESA and all partners involved. view more (2005-10-11)
A POX on syn
A way to convert natural gas into raw materials for the chemical industry and generate power as a by-product could lead to more environmental benign manufacturing processes. view more (2007-09-12)
New magnetic separation technique might detect multiple pathogens at once
A magnetic separation technique developed by researchers at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering and Purdue University makes it relatively simple to sort through beads hundreds of times smaller than the period at the end of this sentence. view more (2007-10-30)
Lavas from Hawaiian volcano contain fingerprint of planetary formation
Hikers visiting the Kilauea Iki crater in Hawaii today walk along a mostly flat surface of sparsely vegetated basalt. It looks like parking lot asphalt, but in November and December 1959, it emitted the orange glow of newly erupted lava. view more (2008-06-20)
