New NASA Van Allen Probes observations helping to improve space weather models Posted: 07 Mar 2014 01:59 PM PST Using data from NASA's Van Allen Probes, researchers have tested and improved a model to help forecast what's happening in the radiation environment of near-Earth space -- a place seething with fast-moving particles and a space weather system that varies in response to incoming energy and particles from the sun.

Blue paint on Japanese bullet trains can inhibit bacterial growth Posted: 07 Mar 2014 01:58 PM PST Using an artificial protein that contains metal, researchers were able to inhibit the growth of a pathogenic bacterium prevalent in hospitals which cause diseases to humans and has a high resistance to antibiotics.

New study of proteins in space could yield better understanding, new drug development Posted: 07 Mar 2014 11:30 AM PST Innovative methods of drug discovery don't always take place in an academic laboratory. They may start there, but they can also happen in orbit aboard the International Space Station, as protein crystallization research is about to demonstrate once again.

7-Tesla MRI scanner allows even more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer Posted: 06 Mar 2014 06:52 AM PST Scientists have demonstrated for the first time worldwide that 7-Tesla ultra-high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used for clinical applications in patients with breast tumors. This may in future facilitate even more accurate diagnosis of breast cancer.

How the internet is transforming our experience of being ill Posted: 06 Mar 2014 06:39 AM PST The last decade has seen a remarkable shift in how people use the internet in relation to their health and it is now talked of as a routine feature of being ill. This study examined interviews with patients conducted between 2001 and 2013 and explored how people talked about the internet, capturing changing attitudes towards the use of the internet for health across the last decade.
