- Yes, Virginia, some snowflakes can look the same!
12-13-2006 · EurekAlert!
Snowflakes, one of the most recognizable and endearing symbols of winter, reveal some fascinating lessons about chemistry and science in general, according to a scientist at Ritsumeikan University in Japan. In an interview with the American Chemical Society, the researcher discusses how snowflakes form, why scientists are interested in studying them, and explains why the adage that 'no two snowflakes are alike' may not ring true in all cases.

- Climatic variations influence the emergence of cholera in Africa
09-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
In studies aiming to understand better the emergence and persistence of cholera in Africa, IRD and CNRS researchers showed the strong correlation that exists between outbreaks and the different parameters linked to climate changes in West Africa. This research should provide the scientists with the basis for creating a predictive model which could improve early warning of risks by anticipating the emergence of foci of infection and therefore facilitate the deployment of protection measures for the populations affected.

- Scientists identify a mouse embryonic stem cell more like our own
06-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have discovered a new type of mouse embryonic stem cell that is the closest counterpart yet to human embryonic stem cells, the National Institutes of Health announced today. The cells are expected to serve as an improved model for human ES cells in studies of regeneration, disease pathology and basic stem cell biology.

- Delft researchers unravel the working of the bicycle
09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
For nearly 150 years, scientists have been baffled by the bicycle. How is it possible that a moving bicycle can, all by itself, be so stable? Researchers of the Delft University of Technology, working with colleagues from Cornell University and the University of Nottingham, UK, believe they have now found the ultimate model of the bicycle. The researchers discuss their findings in the new edition of Delft Outlook, the science magazine of TU Delft.

- Scientists develop new measure of 'socioclimactic' risk
12-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have taken a first step toward quantifying the "socioclimactic" exposure of different countries to future climate change. The research team found that China, India and the United States face substantial exposure relative to other nations. By integrating state-of-the-art global climate model experiments with socioeconomic indicators of poverty, wealth and population, we create a unique measure of 'socioclimactic' risk for each nation.

- In nature -- and maybe the corner office -- scientists find that generalists can thrive
01-30-2008 · EurekAlert!
The assignment of duties in a single cell, ocean life or even a small business does not have to be defined by a division of labor where every individual has a specific role, according to biologists at Ohio State University. The scientists have designed a mathematical model to describe circumstances that would allow generalists to endure in what is typically expected to be a specialist-only society, according to theory.
