Rice University physicists have gone to extremes to prove that Isaac Newton's classical laws of motion can apply in the atomic world: They've built an accurate…
When it comes to conserving the world's orchids, not all forests are equal. In a paper to be published Jan. 25 in the journal Molecular Ecology, Smithsonian…
Results of this study, which was also sponsored by the American Lung Association (ALA), will appear Jan. 25 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.”This important finding could help prevent giving unnecessary medication to children,” said Susan B. Shurin, M.D., acting director of the NHLBI and a board-certified pediatrician. “Doctors have suspected that acid reflux that does not cause symptoms interferes with asthma control and should be treated. This study shows that acid reflux medication should not be given to children for possible silent reflux in hopes of improving asthma control.”…
Scientists at USC have uncovered evidence that even when hydrothermal sea vents go dormant and their blistering warmth turns to frigid cold, life goes on. Or…
The C16:0-ceramide biomarkers described here, allow both the diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune disease multiple sclerosis. Moreover the ceramide synthase…
Geodesic monitoring measures movement and deformation in structures and industrial facilities/installations. The invention is based on an existing optical…
An expert with the University of Alabama at Birmingham says interest rates are so low that buying a $1,000 two-month CD from the bank will only earn you 83…
The research, published recently in the Journal of Molecular Biology, provides an extremely reliable system with which to model and quantify the effect of…
Mate competition by males over females is common in many animal species. During mating season male testosterone levels rise, resulting in an increase in…
At these lofty elevations, storms of high-energy charged particles – space weather – roil the atmosphere, creating auroras, buffeting satellites, and sometimes…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry recently succeeded in revealing the structure of the cellular protein degradation machinery (26S…
The biomarker is considered particularly promising because it can detect the level of risk immediately following diagnosis. This discovery could become a…
A healthy genome is characterized by 23 pairs of chromosomes, and even a small change in this structure — such as an extra copy of a single chromosome — can…
