What do Racquel Welch and quantum physics have in common?
The study aims to delve into a 'void' or empty space in which atoms move, which has a large intrinsic energy density known as zero-point energy   view more (2006-06-30)

Reversing and accelerating the speed of light
Physicist Costas Soukoulis and his research group at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory on the Iowa State University campus are having the time of their lives making light travel backwards at negative speeds that appear faster than the speed of light.   view more (2006-07-24)

Stretchable silicon could be next wave in electronics
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a fully stretchable form of single-crystal silicon with micron-sized, wave-like geometries that can be used to build high-performance electronic devices on rubber substrates.   view more (2005-12-16)

Genetic tests could define us all as patients
Genetic science could drive a new wave of medicalisation if genetics tests are accepted without appropriate evaluation, warn researchers in this week’s BMJ.   view more (2002-04-10)

Illegal destruction of coral reefs worsened impact of tsunami
The illegal mining of corals off the southwest coast of Sri Lanka permitted far more onshore destruction from the 26 December 2004 tsunami than occurred in nearby areas whose coral reefs were intact.   view more (2005-08-16)

The future of tropical forests
Deforestation and habitat loss are expected to lead to an extinction crisis among tropical forest species. Humans in rural settings contribute most to deforestation of extant tropical forests.   view more (2006-04-07)

The math of deadly waves
When Walter Craig saw the images of the devastating 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami he felt compelled to act. So he grabbed a pencil and envelope and started calculating.   view more (2006-02-21)

Researchers create a broadband light amplifier on a chip
Cornell researchers have created a broadband light amplifier on a silicon chip, a major breakthrough in the quest to create photonic microchips. In such microchips, beams of light traveling through microscopic waveguides will replace electric currents traveling through microscopic wires.   view more (2006-07-07)

Penn researchers study the use of ultrasound for treatment of cancer
For the first time, ultrasound is being used in animal models - to treat cancer by disrupting tumor blood vessels.   view more (2005-11-07)

Wind power explored off California's coast
In many ways, wind energy seems an ideal energy source. Fields of mighty turbines spinning in rhythm could harness carbonless power and shuttle it off to homes and industries.   view more (2007-12-13)

New look at DNA hints at origin of ultraviolet damage
Chemists at Ohio State University have gained new insight into how sunlight affects DNA. And what they found overturns ideas about genetic mutation that originated decades ago.   view more (2005-08-25)

Ebola-Outbreak Kills 5000 Gorillas
Over the last decade human outbreaks of the deadly Ebola virus in Africa have been repeatedly linked to gorilla and chimpanzee deaths in nearby forests. Hotly debated has been whether these wild ape deaths were isolated incidents or part of a massive die-off.   view more (2006-12-11)

Astronomers report unprecedented double helix nebula near center of the Milky Way
Astronomers report an unprecedented elongated double helix nebula near the center of our Milky Way galaxy, using observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope.   view more (2006-03-16)

UA Physicist Discovers Exotic Superconductivity
A University of Arizona physicist has discovered that powerful magnetic fields change the physical nature of superconductivity.   view more (2006-08-17)

Tycho's Remnant Provides Shocking Evidence for Cosmic Rays
Astronomers have found compelling evidence that a supernova shock wave has produced a large amount of cosmic rays, particles of mysterious origin that constantly bombard the Earth.   view more (2005-09-23)

Engineered heart tissue offers insights into irregular heartbeats, defibrillator failure
Engineers who have induced heart cells in culture to mimic the properties of the heart have used the tissue to gain new insight into the mechanisms that spawn irregular heart rhythms.   view more (2006-02-06)

Nuclear explosion on a dead star - astronomers probe aftermath
A team of astronomers from the UK and Germany have found that a nuclear explosion on the surface of a star 5,000 light years from Earth resulted in a blast wave moving at over 1,700 km per second (one thousand miles per second or almost four million miles per hour!).   view more (2006-07-20)

NRL measures record wave during Hurricane Ivan
Scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) measured a record-size ocean wave when the eye of Hurricane Ivan passed over NRL moorings deployed last May in the Gulf of Mexico.   view more (2005-08-05)

Shock wave therapy for kidney stones linked to increased risk of diabetes, hypertension
Mayo Clinic researchers are sounding an alert about side effects of shock wave lithotripsy: in a research study, they found this common treatment for kidney stones to significantly increase the risk for diabetes and hypertension later in life.   view more (2006-04-10)

Astronomers shed surprising light on our galaxy's black hole
In the most comprehensive study of Sagittarius A (Sgr A), the enigmatic supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, astronomers - using nine ground and space-based telescopes including the Hubble Space Telescope and the XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory - have... view more (2006-01-11)

GEO600 starts continuous search for Gravitational Waves
The joint German-British Gravitational Wave Detector GEO600 has now entered an 18-month run of continuous measurement.   view more (2006-06-27)

Electron filmed for first time ever
Now it is possible to see a movie of an electron. The movie shows how an electron rides on a light wave after just having been pulled away from an atom.   view more (2008-02-25)

Ancient neutrinos could put string theory and quantum loop gravity to the test
Tiny but ageing neutrinos can be used to test the very foundations of quantum theory at unprecedented cosmological time scales.   view more (2005-10-14)

Living coral reefs provide better protection from tsunami waves
Healthy coral reefs provide their adjacent coasts with substantially more protection from destructive tsunami waves than do unhealthy or dead reefs, a Princeton University study suggests.   view more (2006-12-19)

Multi-wavelength images help astronomers study star birth, death
In recent years, a number of ground-based optical and radio surveys of the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds - Earth's nearest neighboring galaxies - have become available.   view more (2006-01-12)
