Tropical Storm Aere was drifting in the South China Sea, just south of Hong Kong, as NASA's Terra satellite passed overhead.
A new MRI technique developed at Northwestern University detects blood flow velocity to identify who is most at risk for stroke, so they can be treated accordingly.
A team of cancer specialists and health economists have developed a tool that can measure a patient's risk for, and ability to tolerate, the financial stress associated with treatment.
The male dark fishing spider is just dying to father some children -- and this death wish probably evolved to benefit his offspring, according to new research.

In the weeks following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, five people died from exposure to anthrax-laced letters, and several more were infected. Fifteen years on, the US has spent billions of dollars to fortify the nation's biodefenses against future attacks, but is it enough? The cover story of Chemical & Engineering News, the weekly newsmagazine of the American Chemical Society, examines whether the US is really ready for another Amerithrax.
A new study is the first to systematically assess multiple pesticides that accumulate within bee colonies. The researchers found that the number of different pesticides within a colony -- regardless of dose -- closely correlates with colony death. The results also suggest that some fungicides, often regarded as safe for bees, correlate with high rates of colony deaths.
University of Colorado Boulder engineers have developed an innovative bio-manufacturing process that uses a biological organism cultivated in brewery wastewater to create the carbon-based materials needed to make energy storage cells.
New research from the University of Minnesota reveals endoglin as a critical factor in determining the fate of early undifferentiated cells during development.
On the occasion of an expert meeting organized by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) held in Berlin, a consensus was reached on the identification of endocrine disruptors. The consensus paper was published in the scientific journal Archives of Toxicology.
