Feeding Habits Of Flying Reptiles Uncovered
Scientists have taken a step back in time and provided a new insight into the lifestyle of a prehistoric flying reptile. Using new physical and mathematical modeling, scientists have shown that suggestions that extinct pterosaurs gathered their food by 'skimming'the surface of the ocean with their beaks are inaccurate. Suite Of Instruments Helps Researchers Calculate 3,000-year Cycle For
The deep, cobalt-blue waters of Lake Tahoe can mean different things to different people. For scientists, the lake's depth and rich color are an impediment to studying several important geological characteristics beneath the lake's basin. Now, a team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, has used a novel combination of scientific instruments to produce the first estimates for earthquake activity of several faults in the region.

A New Turn-on For Genes: Scientists Find Structure Relevant To Cell Gr
Researchers discovered a special type of molecular structure that helps keep genes properly turned off until the structure is ejected from those genes in a regulated manner to help turn the genes on. The discovery by researchers at the University of Utah's Huntsman Cancer Institute is relevant to normal cell growth and cancer. Greensboro Sit-Ins: Launch of a Civil Rights Movement

Remote-control sharks, pain guns, radioactive scorpion venom ... Bond-like technology is unnervingly real in some labs. By Greta Lorge from Wired magazine. Combination Targets For Cancer: Some Drugs Work Well Together, Studies
While some targeted therapies -- drugs developed to attack specific molecules in the critical chemical pathways occurring within cancer cells -- work well by themselves, increasingly researchers are finding that they work better when teamed with other targeted and conventional therapies. Plant Study Reveals New Insights Into How Genomes Work
Cells keep a close watch over the transcriptome -- the totality of all parts of the genome that are expressed in any given cell at any given time. Researchers have peeled back another layer of transcriptional regulation and gain new insight into how genomes work. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
