5. Carnegie Mellon University-led team conducts most detailed cosmological simulation to date
   06-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Using a new computer model of galaxy formation, researchers have shown that growing black holes release a blast of energy that fundamentally regulates galaxy evolution and black hole growth itself. The model explains for the first time observed phenomena and promises to deliver deeper insights into our understanding of galaxy formation and the role of black holes throughout cosmic history. The results were generated by an international team of investigators.

6. Genetic mutation explains form of brittle bone disease
   10-19-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A newly identified gene mutation helps explain a subset of cases of osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, whose origin had until now remained mysterious. Identifying the new mutation is important because children with the disorder, whose bones break easily, are sometimes mistaken as victims of child abuse -- particularly those who do not carry the genetic mutation known to cause most cases of brittle bone disease.

8. New theory explains enhanced superconductivity in nanowires
   10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Superconducting wires are used in magnetic resonance imaging machines. Eventually, ultra-narrow superconducting wires might be used in power lines designed to carry electrical energy long distances with little loss. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign not only have discovered an unusual phenomenon in which ultra-narrow wires show enhanced superconductivity when exposed to strong magnetic fields, they also have developed a theory to explain it.

10. Study points to new way to predict death risk from torn aorta
    07-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Each year, thousands of Americans suffer a sudden tear in the body's largest blood vessel, the aorta. It's often misdiagnosed, can kill if not treated immediately, and survivors face a high and unpredictable risk of dying. Now, a new study points to a new way to predict which patients are most at risk, and introduces a new model to explain why.
