Computer simulations strongly support new theory of Earth's core

02-08-2008 · EurekAlert!

Swedish researchers present in today's Web edition of the journal Science evidence that their theory about the core of the earth is correct. Among other applications, the findings may be of significance for our understanding of the cooling down of the Earth, and of the stability of the Earth's magnetic field.

Simulations unravel outer membrane transport mechanism
06-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Using X-ray data and advanced computer simulation and visualization software, researchers at the University of Illinois have painstakingly modeled a critical part of a mechanism by which bacteria take up large molecules. Their findings provide a rare window on the complex interplay of proteins involved in the active transport of materials across cell membranes.

Stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment
04-24-2007 · EurekAlert!
Identification, isolation and large scale culture of stem cells for potential medical applications is a major challenge in cell biology. In an upcoming PLoS ONE paper, researchers, including Andras Paldi, in Genethon (Evry, France) report, on the basis of experimental observations and computer simulations, that the stem cell identity in culture may strongly depend on the cellular microenvironment.

Scientists find that Earth and Mars are different to the core
06-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Research comparing silicon samples from Earth, meteorites and planetary materials, published in Nature (June 28, 2007) provides new evidence that the Earth's core formed under very different conditions from those that existed on Mars. It also shows that the Earth and the moon have the same silicon isotopic composition, supporting the theory that atoms from the two mixed in the early stages of their development.

Seismic images show dinosaur-killing meteor made bigger splash
01-23-2008 · EurekAlert!
The most detailed 3-D seismic images yet of the Chicxulub impact crater may modify a theory explaining the "KT Extinction Event" that wiped out most life on Earth, including the dinosaurs. According to research appearing in Nature Geosciences, the asteroid landed in deeper water than previously assumed and therefore released about 6.5 times more water vapor into the atmosphere, possibly making it deadlier by altering climate and generating acid rain.

Survey shows strong support for offshore wind power
01-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Delawareans are strongly in favor of offshore wind power as a future source of energy for the state, according to a survey conducted by University of Delaware researchers.When asked to select from a variety of sources to help the state increase its energy supply, more than 90 percent of the 949 Delaware residents responding to the survey supported an offshore wind option to generate electricity--even if wind power were to add between $1 and $30 per month to their electric bills.

Mucins stand guard against gut infections
07-19-2007 · EurekAlert!
Mucins are large proteins that are secreted on the surface of the gut, and while long regarded as having a role as a barrier to mucosal infection, data to support this theory have been lacking. In a new JCI study researchers show that cell surface mucin 1 (Muc1) plays a critical role in protecting the mucosal lining of the gut from bacterial infection.
