CT scan reveals ancient long-necked gliding reptile

...n-year-old long-necked, gliding reptile may remain forever embedded in stone, but thanks to an industrial-size CT scanner at Penn State's Center for Quantitative Imaging, the bone structure and behavior of these small creatures are now known. The new gliding reptile is named Mecistrotrachelos apeoros mean...

Diminishing dinosaur steps saved by laser and laptop

... Palaeontologists feared the tracks could be lost forever - but a permanent and detailed record has now been created using cutting-edge equipment. Using a high-tech laser scanning system called RIEGL, researchers from The School of Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental have produced an interactive 3D mode...

Dinosaur hearing, listening to muscle noise, quieter cubicles

...ITY Acoustical developments in the 20th century forever altered the sounds that U.S. residents heard and their ways of listening. Modern acoustical inventions such as sound meters, microphones, and reverberation equations brought about a new level of clarity and similarity in the acoustical environments o...

Using nature's most primitive anti-viral defense system to find new approaches to cancer research

...l. This new technology has the potential to change forever the way researchers and doctors fight cancer and other diseases. "By combining the benefits of Drosophila RNAi screens with the functional analysis in human cell culture models of metastasis, we expect to identify novel, conserved proteins involved...

With cochlear implants, earlier use leads to better speech

... be daunted by the fact that a cochlear implant is forever -- the device destroys any residual hearing so that hearing aids are no longer an option. "Studies like ours are meant to help answer parents' questions about cochlear implants," Nicholas says. "Our overall goal is to focus on the best age for impl...

Crucial site for endangered frogs and birds saved

...al programs. "By working together, we were able to forever protect a site identified by AZE as the last remaining habitat of Critically Endangered species." "We were able to save this site from the bulldozer in the nick of time and managed to safeguard the Parakeet's last remaining stronghold," said George ...

Genetic study shows humans have pushed orangutans to the brink of extinction

...ee plantations. "This population will disappear forever if these forests are converted to oil-palm agriculture," Ambu says. "The results of our genetic study underscore the need to act now to protect the long-term survival of the species. The animals still show enough genetic diversity to stabilize, if im...

New battery technology helps stimulate nerves

...nson's patients. But lithium batteries don't last forever and new surgery to maintain many devices seeded into the body is required, as it is to replace batteries and devices at the end of their lives. Moreover, a new generation of tiny electrical devices to stimulate the nervous system, treat incontinence ...

Researchers discover key to human embryonic stem-cell potential

... into particular tissue types, and pluripotency is forever lost. But if stem cells are extracted, researches can keep them in this pluripotent state indefinitely, preserving them as a kind of cellular blank slate. The therapeutic goal then is to take these blank slates and coax them into, say, liver or brain...

New tool reveals secrets of migrating cells

... "Two-photon imaging is going to change literally forever the way that we do biological science," said Witt, a developmental immunologist. "In the past, we'd take organs out, smush them up and basically do biochemistry in test tubes, or watch their behavior in a single layer of cells. It's an imaging revolu...

South America's vast pantanal wetland may become next everglades, UNU experts warn

...s greatest environmental treasures will be altered forever by human encroachment," says Prof. Hans van Ginkel, UN Under Secretary-General and Rector of UN University. UN University and Brazil's Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso jointly run the Pantanal Regional Environment Programme (UNU-PREP), under the ...
