Rutgers researchers scientifically link dancing ability to mate quality
Dance has long been recognized as a signal of courtship in many animal species, including humans. Better dancers presumably attract more mates, or a more desirable mate.   view more (2005-12-22)

Discovery of Antarctic subglacial rivers may challenge excavation plans
Plans to drill deep beneath the frozen wastes of the Antarctic, to investigate subglacial lakes where ancient life is thought to exist, may have to be reviewed following a discovery by a British team led by UCL (University College London) scientists at the Natural Environment Research Council... view more (2006-04-20)

Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity
Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2006-10-05)

Sharp views show ground ice on Mars is patchy and variable
For the first time, scientists have found that water ice lies at variable depths over small-scale patches on the Red Planet. The discovery draws a much more detailed picture of underground ice on Mars than was previously available. The new results appear in the May 3, 2007, issue of the scientific... view more (2007-05-03)

NIST's new advanced imaging facility peers inside hydrogen fuel cells
Thanks to a new and improved imaging instrument at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), scientists now can conduct detailed surveillance on the comings and goings of water inside hydrogen fuel cells-a piece of intelligence key to making the technology... view more (2006-08-21)

Seagrass ecosystems at a 'global crisis'
An international team of scientists is calling for a targeted global conservation effort to preserve seagrasses and their ecological services for the world's coastal ecosystems, according to an article published in the December issue of Bioscience, the journal of the American Institute of... view more (2006-12-01)

Yale engineers make standardized bulk synthesis of nanowires possible
A team of Yale scientists have demonstrated a method to understand effective synthesis of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) for both their quality and quantity, according to a report published in the journal Nanotechnology.   view more (2005-11-29)

The Secrets of Stradivarius

Objective scientific research and co-operation between scientists, makers and musicians is beginning to unravel the ways in which modern makers can recreate the sound of the finest violins New techniques of quality control and new... view more (1998-09-02)

Desalination roadmap seeks technological solutions to increase the nation's water supply
After one last meeting in San Antonio in April, Sandia National Laboratories researchers Pat Brady and Tom Hinkebein are putting the final touches on the updated Desalination and Water Purification Roadmap — "Roadmap 2" — that should result in more fresh water in parts of the... view more (2006-06-07)

NCAR climate expert: Hurricanes to intensify as Earth warms
Warmer oceans, more moisture in the atmosphere, and other factors suggest that human-induced climate change will increase hurricane intensity and rainfall, according to climate expert Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.   view more (2005-06-16)

Suntans are bad for bacteria too! Exposure to UV irradiation kills off harmful bacteria in food
Research news from the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture 15 December 2003: The presence of E.coli bacteria, found in foods such as egg white and apple juice, is a major public health concern. The bacteria have, in the past, been inactivated by heat pasteurisation -- which can affect... view more (2003-12-15)
