Astronomers Find The Most Distant Star Clusters Hidden Behind A Nearby
Astronomers have discovered the most distant population of star clusters ever seen, hidden behind one of the nearest such clusters to Earth. At a distance of more than a billion light-years, the newly discovered star clusters provide a unique probe of what similar systems in our own galaxy once looked like. Startup Search
Directory tracking "new web technology companies at the beginning stages of their growth."It collects "facts and figures about new web products, startup companies, key startup employees, and the funding dollars powering their growth."Profiles include background and rankings (explained in "Startup Search Score"in the About section). Searchable, or browse companies, products, people, investors, or partners. From a Web search and syndication consultant. How Water 'Lubricates'Proteins
Scientists are one step closer to understanding how proteins move when they perform functions essential for supporting life. For the first time, scientists have directly observed how water lubricates the movements of protein molecules to enable different functions to happen. Superfluid Helium-4 Whistles Just The Right Tune
University of California, Berkeley, physicists can now tune in to and hear normally inaudible quantum vibrations, called quantum whistles, enabling them to build very sensitive detectors of rotation or very precise gyroscopes. Hyaena Specialist Group
This group promotes the conservation of hyenas and "through education, [aims] to change people's attitudes towards these much maligned and often unnecessarily persecuted animals."Features descriptions and images of different types of hyenas, a FAQ, discussions of hyena myths (such as that spotted hyenas are hermaphrodites), images of hyenas in art and literature, an extensive bibliography, and related material. From the Species Survival Commission of the World Conservation Union (IUCN). Loves Linux, Runs Windows
Europe is struggling to kick the Windows habit. Eurocrats make a lot of noise about moving to Linux, but the actual migrations are few and far between. Bruce Gain reports from Paris. Magnolia Gum, Organic Uranium, Biotech Sweetener
I’ve got a weird and wonderful mix of chemistry news again on the Reactive Reports site and my Alchemist column on ChemWeb.comBarking Up the Right Tree for Fresh Breath - A traditional Chinese extract from the bark of the magnolia tree could give you fresh breath and kill off the oral microbes that cause halitosis.Cats [...] New Damping Systems
The Gaiker Technology Centre (Basque Country), member of the IK4 technological platform, has carried out in collaboration with ANTEC, S.A. and TENNECO a technological research project to manufacture a new range of ecological shock absorbers able to provide major security level and comfort to drivers and users of vehicles and to improve their competitiveness from traditional products. Vaccination And Testing For The Human Papilloma Virus Could Eradicate
Cervical cancer could be eradicated within the next 50 years if countries implement national screening programs based on detection of the human papilloma virus, which causes the disease, together with vaccination programs against the virus, according to a cervical cancer screening expert. Extremely Short Bursts Of Light Produced: Could Probe Motion Of Electr
Researchers have generated extremely short pulses of light that are the strongest of their type ever produced and could prove invaluable in probing the ultra-fast motion of atoms and electrons. The scientists also made the first observations of a phenomenon called cross-phase modulation with this high-intensity light -- a characteristic that could be used in numerous new light source technologies.
