Scientists Discover Early Key To Regeneration Science Daily
Science may be one step closer to understanding how a limb can be grown or a spinal cord can be repaired. Forsyth Institute scientists have discovered that some cells have to die for regeneration to occur. Research may provide insight into mechanisms necessary for therapeutic regeneration in humans, potentially addressing tissues that are lost, damaged or non-functional as a result of genetic
Growing Catalysts: Research Sheds New Light On How Zeolites Organize Themselves Science Daily
Porous materials are involved in many chemical reactions that affect our daily lives. Despite their wide use, there is little knowledge about them. An international team of researchers have just shed new light on how these materials organize themselves when they are created. Their experiments at the ESRF combined three different techniques in real time, with the aim of viewing a full picture of
Scientists Offer New Model For Forecasting The Likelihood Of An Earthquake Science Daily
In assessing the probability of an earthquake, scientists rely on two important pieces of data that are often inconsistent. The past geological record sometimes tells one story, while current measurements from the Global Positioning System (GPS) tell another. But a new forecasting model designed by Stanford University geophysicists may help close the gap.
When 'dropout' isn't a bad word Town Online
Anna Finklestein left Sharon High School after the ninth grade because she was bored and felt she could put her time to better use. She started a professional theater company for young adults, interned at Boston’s Huntington Theater and took college courses at the Harvard Extension School.
Making Sense Of Sensors: The Mathematics Of Detecting Intruders Science Daily
As sensor technology has exploded, such fundamental questions have come to the forefront in many areas. In particular, national security measures increasingly depend on sensor technology to detect, for example, radiological or biological hazards, hidden mines and munitions, or specific individuals in a crowd. Mathematics, especially the area of topology, provides a way of addressing such
Physicists Refute Analysis Of Jackson Pollock's Paintings Science Daily
Can mathematics explain the art of Jackson Pollock? Can it be used to authenticate paintings of uncertain provenance? Case Western Reserve University physicists address these questions in the current issue of Nature.
Chemists Create 'Nanorobotic' Arm To Operate Within DNA Sequence Science Daily
New York University chemistry professor Nadrian C. Seeman and his graduate student Baoquan Ding have developed a DNA cassette through which a nanomechanical device can be inserted and function within a DNA array, allowing for the motion of a nanorobotic arm. The results mark the first time scientists have been able to employ a functional nanotechnology device within a DNA array.
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Reports 8% Second Quarter Revenue Growth Business Wire via Yahoo! Finance
HOBOKEN, N.J.----John Wiley & Sons, Inc. announced today that second quarter revenue of $285 million increased 8% from $263 million in the previous year's second quarter, or 7% excluding favorable foreign exchange.
Global Malaria Map Key Weapon In Fight Against Malaria, Scientists Say Science Daily
For the first time in almost forty years, researchers are creating a global map of malaria risk. The Malaria Atlas Project, or MAP, will help identify populations at particular risk and predict the impact of the disease, allowing health resources to be targeted at those areas most at risk.
NASA Scientists Find Primordial Organic Matter In Meteorite Science Daily
NASA researchers at Johnson Space Center, Houston have found organic materials that formed in the most distant reaches of the early Solar System preserved in a unique meteorite. The study was performed on the Tagish Lake carbonaceous chondrite, a rare type of meteorite that is rich in organic (carbon-bearing) compounds.
