Long after the disappearance of the glaciers that once covered much of North America, the land they rested upon is still recovering from their weight - and the slow movement of this recovery includes horizontal motion never seen before, say Purdue scientists. The research team, led by Eric A. Calais, has found that a large swath of territory in the Northeast is slowly moving southward in relation to the rest of the continent. New Heart Test To Save Time, Money And Lives
A new test could give doctors a head start in diagnosing those patients most likely to suffer a heart attack. The test could result in fewer patients needlessly admitted to hospital -- enabling medics to concentrate on those most needing their help. Toward Improving The Safety Of Lithium-ion Batteries
After recalls and fires involving Lithium-ion batteries, battery manufacturers and scientists have launched an intensive effort to improve the safety of these rechargeable power packs found in dozens of consumer electronics products. Fires and explosions involving Lithium-ion batteries are rare, occurring in anywhere from one in 1 million to one in 10 million batteries, according to the best estimates. Still, these widely-publicized incidents have worried consumers and forced costly recalls of millions of batteries. Vegas Plans Mobile Gaming Trials
Casinos could soon go poolside with the help of modified PDAs. By Steve Friess. Changing Gold: Precious Metal Not As Noble Or Stable As Previously Tho
Gold is not as noble and stable as it has been previously thought. This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers from Germany, France and Sweden who came to the ESRF to study the structure of this material at high pressure. They present their results in Physical Review Letters. Doctors Warn: Do Not Rely Only On What Young Athletes Say When Managin
When it comes to managing concussions in sports, relying only on an athlete's self report of symptoms is inadequate and likely to result in under-diagnosing the injury and the athlete unsafely returning to play following the concussion, warn doctors at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Sports Medicine Concussion Program. Along with assessing symptoms, the doctors stress, using computer-based neurocognitive function testing is crucial for accurate, objective evaluation of concussion. Human Immunity To 'Viral Fossil'May Help Explain Our Vulnerability To
Human resistance to a retrovirus that infected chimpanzees and other nonhuman primates four million years ago ironically may be at least partially responsible for the susceptibility of humans to HIV infection today. Star Light, Star Bright: Duplicating Conditions Of Supernovas
How is matter created? What happens when stars die? Is the universe shrinking, or is it expanding? At Florida State University, a new facility known as RESOLUT is helping physicists conduct experiments that may help provide answers to just such questions. Weighing some 16 tons and taking up more than 450 square feet of space along a wall inside the accelerator lab, RESOLUT enables researchers to fire a beam of atomic particles through a steel tube at speeds approaching 60 million miles per hour -- roughly one-tenth the speed of light -- and then to observe the nuclear reactions that occur. United States Sees Steep Rise In 'No Indicated Risk' Caesareans
