Also known as the Quark Matter conference, the meeting is the premier conference in the field of high-energy nuclear physics, with typically 600 or more…
Mature technologies are being implemented on legacy systems, evolving materials and process technologies are being pursued for application within fielded and…
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has identified a star that was one million times brighter than the sun before it exploded as a supernova in 2005. According to…
They have developed the first hollow gold nanospheres — smaller than the finest flecks of dust — that search out and “cook” cancer cells. The cancer-destroying…
They will share their latest results in testing, characterization, analysis, design, and monitoring of composite materials. Major projects include Clean Sky…
Designed for applications that require 4-10 gpm (0.9-2.3 m3/h) of high-purity water, the system is a “plug and play” replacement for separate bed and/or mixed…
No single decision-support system exists for selecting alternatives for postfire management. That thesis is what a recently released report on management after…
The findings come from the first-ever genome-wide association study of COPD and suggest that those who carry the markers may be able to reduce their risk if…
McMaster University researchers are about to launch Canada's first tuberculosis (TB) vaccine clinical trial with a vaccine totally designed, manufactured and…
This is the tale of two biological substances-cells from mammals and bacteria. It's a story about the havoc these microscopic entities can wreak on all manner…
The study led by Dr. Ross D. Feldman, a clinical scientist with the Robarts Research Institute at The University of Western Ontario recommends a simplified and…
The basis of all life forms are vesicles: membrane-enclosed, liquid-filled “bubbles” made of lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Cells, which are separated…
“Watching chemical reactions in real-time has long been a dream of chemists,” says Tahei Tahara of RIKEN’s Advanced Science Institute in Wako. “To reach a…
Programmers of robots have long been challenged by the difficulty of implementing some of the simplest of human activities, such as walking up stairs or…
The project kicked off in January 2009 and is scheduled to be completed within two years. This technology will then be available for industrial-scale…
Researchers at the University of Washington have discovered an increased pattern of brain activity in the amygdalas of adults with autism that may be linked to…
