The Purdue University Network Computing Hubs, or PUNCH, provide access to research-grade computer simulation laboratories. From almost anywhere in the world, students and researchers can use the World Wide Web to access these computer tools that typically are unavailable commercially.
A 20-member team at The University of Arizona Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department are building an Oxygen Generating Subsystem. In January 2002, it will suck in Martian atmospheric gases-predominately carbon dioxide-and process them to produce pure oxygen.
After analyzing hundreds of high-resolution pictures of the Martian surface taken by the orbiting Mars Surveyor spacecraft, a team of researchers finds that weathering and winds on the planet leave landforms, especially sand dunes, remarkably similar to those in some deserts on Earth.
A $402,000 link-to-learn grant from Pennsylvania's Dept. of Education will fund Temple University's Literacy Improvement through Technology project to increase teachers' proficiency in using technolgy as a tool for teaching language arts.
A team of Harvard Medical School and Howard Hughes ivestigators has gotten to the heart of the problem of how an organ develops and acquires its characteristic shape. They have identified a gene called Irx-4 that opens doors to understanding how the heart chambers form. The findings appear in the February 19 Science.
Cornell University's pioneering use of a new distance learning technology that helps doctors at 20 different hospitals keep up with the latest developments in their field has been declared an overwhelming success, and a new contract has been announced that expands the service.
An automobile engine with 30 percent greater fuel efficiency than current models but that also meets U.S. emission standards is the goal of a Vanderbilt University engineer who is using advanced laser technology to help develop the next generation of automobile engines.
A school reform model based on the "Cultural Literacy" ideas of E.D. Hirsch fares well in its first comprehensive, nationwide evaluation.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., have discovered the cause of death of nearly a dozen young North American zoo elephants -- fatal hemorrhaging from a previously unknown form of herpesvirus that apparently jumped from African elephants to the Asian species.
Researchers at Stanford University and the University of California, Davis, have received funds to study whirling disease, a parasite-borne disease that is devastating native trout populations in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest.
Scientists from the largely National Science Foundation (NSF)-supported Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) have completed an expedition to one of the most remote places on Earth, the Kerguelen Plateau.
Valley fever is as common to the desert Southwest as cacti, yet it is a regional health problem that is gaining national importance according to an article by John N. Galgiani, M.D., director of The University of Arizona Valley Fever Center for Excellence in Tucson.
Social spiders hold the key to understanding some of the most important and controversial topics in modern-day evolutionary biology, according to a University of Arizona researcher.
For three decades social scientists have had little success in figuring out how a person's race affects the outcomes of crimnal cases. Now University of Washington researchers have found that court reports prepared prior to sentencing by probation officers consistenly portray black and white juvenile offenders differently, leading to harsher sentencing recommendations for blacks.
A new book published by Resources for the Future (RFF) provides teachers and students, the public policy community, and interested citizens with short and readable articles on a wide variety of environmental research and policy topics.
In the largest independent survey of its type in the nation, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has been named a Quality Leader for providing services most preferred by consumers. This is the fifth time the hospital has been identified as So. California's gold standard in healthcare.
The U.S. Navy made its final flight in support of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) U.S. Antarctic Program today, bringing to an end an important 44-year era in naval aviation.
New photos from the Mars Global Surveyor show that horizontal layers extend deep into the canyons of Mars. The structure and composition of the layers suggest that volcanic activity played a far greater role in the early geology of the Red Planet than previously believed.
Hummingbirds' ability to learn from their environment saves them from suffering the costs of severe competition and may-just may-increase the number of species which potentially might coexist in a given habitat, an ecologist from The University of Arizona has discovered.
