Nanoparticles are everywhere. From cosmetics and clothes, to soda and snacks. But as versatile as they are, nanoparticles also have a downside, say researchers at Binghamton University and Cornell University in a recent paper published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology. These tiny particles, even in low doses, could have a big impact on our long-term health.
Scientists from Binghamton University and Cardiff University, and New York State Museum researchers, and have reported the discovery of the floor of the world’s oldest forest in a cover article in the March 1 issue of Nature, a leading international journal of science.
Earlier this month, Charles Darwin received an intriguing gift for his 203rd birthday--an online magazine that reports everything from biology to politics and the arts from an evolutionary perspective.
Valentine’s Day can be pretty painful for kids who don’t get their share of heart-shaped cards. Mary Muscari, associate professor in the Decker School of Nursing at Binghamton University and the author of Let Kids be Kids: Rescuing Childhood, offers tips for parents when their kids come home empty-handed.
Heart attacks in women go largely unrecognized 30 to 55 percent of the time and those who miss the warning signs and fail or delay getting help, run the risk of death or grave disability. But researchers at Binghamton University and SUNY Upstate Medical University have developed an educational program they believe will shorten the time to treatment and ultimately, save lives.
Helping at-risk high schoolers succeed in the classroom has always been difficult. Binghamton University Professor David Sloan Wilson thinks that he has a solution: design a school program that draws upon general theories of social behavior.
Binghamton University has opened its new Engineering and Science Building in a ceremony attended by elected officials, local leaders and University representatives. The facility is located next to the Biotechnology Building, which is part of the University’s Innovative Technologies Complex (ITC).
Online retailers have long wondered if trumpeting consumer-behavior statistics on their websites could hurt business. New findings from Binghamton University should ease their fears, just in time for Cyber Monday.
Three of the nation’s leading universities have joined with 15 US companies to launch a first-of-its-kind collaborative research center whose holistic approach to energy efficiency development could mean savings of millions of dollars and a much ‘greener’ electronics industry.
The Wall Street protesters are not united in their grievances, because there are many appropriate targets for their anger and many ideas about how to solve problems. Sure, there are odd ducks among them. But we make a grave mistake when we focus on the crazies to discredit the legitimate grievances of large groups of citizens, says David Cingranelli, professor of political science at Binghamton University.
Solomon W. Polachek, distinguished professor at Binghamton University, is available to discuss the reasons for the uptick in protest action – on Wall Street and around the globe. The reason? Economics.
Binghamton University has opened a Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) instructional laboratory in the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science facilities.
The Civil War — already considered the deadliest conflict in American history — in fact took a toll far more severe than previously estimated. That’s what a new analysis of census data by Binghamton University historian J. David Hacker reveals.
Why did so many new nonprofit groups develop after the 9/11 attacks? And how did they perform post 9/11? A Binghamton University researcher offers key lessons that may help in future crises and in improved coordination between new and existing relief agencies.
Sometimes your worst enemy can become your best friend. That idea provided motivation for the latest breakthrough from Binghamton University physicist Michael Lawler and his colleagues, who are searching for the mechanism of high-temperature superconductivity.
Binghamton University researcher Christof Grewer thinks he has an important brain transport protein – glutamate transporter – figured out. And he’s using a novel approach to spy on them by taking aim with lasers.
Guangwen Zhou, a Binghamton University mechanical engineer, has received the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious award for young researchers. Known for his work on oxidation and reduction reactions, Zhou’s research could lead to more durable gadgets and “greener” electronics-manufacturing processes.
For kids, summer vacation signals freedom but for parents, too much of a good thing can create problems once school starts. Mary Muscari, associate professor at Binghamton University and the author of Let Kids be Kids: Rescuing Childhood, offers tips for helping kids stay sharp while still keeping things fun – and affordable.
It’s an unfamiliar neighborhood and you find yourself in the middle of a bunch of streets and buildings you’ve never seen before. Giving the environment a quick once-over, you make a snap decision about whether you’re safe or not. And chances are, that first ‘gut’ call is the right one, say Binghamton University researchers Dan O’Brien and David Sloan Wilson in an article published in the current issue of Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
Many of the newest weapons in the war on cancer come in the form of personalized therapies that can target specific changes in an individual’s tumor. By disrupting molecular processes in tumor cells, these drugs can keep the tumor from growing and spreading. At the forefront of this work are Binghamton University researchers, Susan Bane, and Susannah Gal, who are deploying a new tool in their study of an enzyme called tubulin tyrosine ligase, or TTL.
