“It's no longer completely crazy to ask what happened before the Big Bang,” comments Marc Kamionkowski, Caltech's Robinson Professor of Theoretical Physics and…
University of Pittsburgh researchers have developed the first natural, nontoxic method for biodegrading carbon nanotubes, a finding that could help diminish…
“We were expecting to find that the bigger, stronger guys — the high-quality males — would have the loudest bellows, because they can handle the costs of it,”…
Researchers from Virginia Commonwealth University have identified a new anti-tumor gene called SARI that can interact with and suppress a key protein that is…
That's why Kansas State University engineers are helping a semiconductor manufacturer implement its idea of an energy-harvesting radio. It could transmit…
Evolving HIV viral strains and the adverse side effects associated with long-term exposure to current treatments propel scientists to continue exploring…
The recent emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR) in Acinetobacter baumannii, a bacteria that causes infections primarily among seriously ill patients in the…
The study, appearing online in the January issue of Psychological Science, is a novel look at how brain connections change with age. Older adults, average age…
The same pedestrian-structure interaction has also been identified on several other bridges, including Bristol's famous Clifton Suspension Bridge. The…
A recent study, published in Nature, now sheds light on a complex regulatory system based on sumoylation and ubiquitination, two important regulatory processes…
The traditional half-day joint sessions with regional urological groups are extended to a full-day event called EAU International Day – Urology Beyond Europe. In Stockholm the EAU expects an estimated 10,000 delegates and 3,000 exhibitors. …
