Cell phones, driving don't mix
Most people can rather efficiently walk and chew gum at the same time, but when it comes to more complicated "multi-tasking" - like driving and talking on a cell phone - there is a price to pay. view more (2005-12-12)
How to design a cancer-killing virus
One new way to treat individuals with cancer that is being developed is the use of viruses that infect and kill cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. view more (2007-10-26)
Researchers link childhood asthma to exposure to traffic-related pollution
Living near a freeway may mean more than the annoying rumble of cars and trucks: For children, it brings an increased risk of asthma, according to researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. view more (2005-09-21)
Natural selection has strongly influenced recent human evolution, Cornell/Celera Genomics study finds
he most detailed analysis to date of how humans differ from one another at the DNA level shows strong evidence that natural selection has shaped the recent evolution of our species. view more (2005-10-24)
Something new under the Sun
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. view more (2007-01-31)
Research on the color red shows definite impact on achievement
The color red can affect how people function: Red means danger and commands us to stop in traffic. Researchers at the University of Rochester have now found that red also can keep us from performing our best on tests. view more (2007-03-01)
Discovery of T-cell 'traffic control' boosts new drug promise
Scientists have begun to clarify how one of the body's molecules controls the trafficking of T cells through the blood, lymph nodes and on to tissues to fight infection - a crucial response that sometimes goes awry, attacking the body's own tissues and causing autoimmune diseases. view more (2005-07-15)
Early childhood behavior predicts adolescent alcohol and drug use
Children's behavior as early as age 3 can predict whether they will use alcohol and illicit drugs in adolescence, according to a study published in the July/August issue of the journal Child Development. view more (2006-07-13)
Bugs expose underground carbon traffic system 10 times more important than fossil fuel burning
The flow of carbon through soil is ten times greater than the amount of carbon moved around by the burning of fossil fuel but until now how this happens was at best poorly understood. view more (2005-10-10)
The brain, traffic and nano-circuits — e-Science takes on major challenges
Research into three major scientific and technological challenges is to receive a major boost from the application of e-Science and grid computing. view more (2006-07-10)
On airplanes, fiber optics poised to reach new heights
In an effort to provide safer and more reliable components for aircraft, researchers have invented an optical on-off switch that can replace electrical wiring on airplanes with fiber optics for controlling elevators, rudders, and other flight-critical elements. view more (2006-09-19)
Ants show us how to make super-highways
Certain army ants in the rainforests of Central and South America conduct spectacular predatory raids containing up to 200,000 foraging ants. view more (2007-05-29)
What leads to obesity in rural communities?
Residents of rural communities who feel isolated from recreational facilities, stores, churches and schools are more likely to be obese than those who believe they are closer to facilities, new Saint Louis University research finds. view more (2006-06-30)
Air pollution may increase lung cancer risk
Chronic air pollution may increase the risk of lung cancer, suggests a Norwegian study of over 16,000 men in Thorax. Researchers monitored the health of 16, 209 men from 1972 until 1998. The men, all of whom lived in Oslo, were taking part in long term research on risk factors for heart disease and stroke. They were aged between 40 and 49 at the... view more... (2003-12-03)
Tiny particles may pose threat to liver cells, say scientists
Researchers at the University of Edinburgh are to study the effects of nanoparticles on the liver. In a UK first, the scientists will assess whether nanoparticles -already found in pollution from traffic exhaust, but also used in making household goods such as paint, sunblock, food, cosmetics and clothes- can cause damage to the cells of the liver. view more (2006-04-05)
IU informatics researchers throttle notion of search engine dominance
Search engines are not biased toward popular Web sites, and may even be egalitarian in the way they direct traffic. view more (2006-08-08)
Researchers solve mystery of how nuclear pores duplicate before cell division
Researchers have long wondered how nuclear pores - the all-important channels that control the flow of information in and out of a cell's nucleus - double in number to prepare for the split to come when a cell divides. view more (2006-04-21)
Biological motors sort molecules one by one on a chip
Researchers from Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience have discovered how to use the motors of biological cells in extremely small channels on a chip. view more (2006-05-12)
Obesity and risk for death due to motor vehicle crashes
A team at the Injury Research Center of the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee has found that being obese increases male drivers' risk of dying in a car crash, as does being very slim. However, being moderately overweight might help cushion the blow. view more (2006-03-02)
UCSB researchers discover that the cell's endosomes use a surprising transportation system
Cells have developed a surprising transportation system for their endosomes, according to research published today in Physical Review Letters, "Dynamics and Spatial Organization of Endosomes in Mammalian Cells." view more (2005-10-06)
