Climate change to continue to year 3000 in best case scenarios

— 19:13 GMT | Environment

New research indicates the impact of rising CO2 levels in the Earth's atmosphere will cause unstoppable effects to the climate for at least the next 1000 years, causing researchers to estimate a collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet by the year 3000, and an eventual rise in the global sea level of at least four metres…

Surprise: Dwarf galaxy harbours supermassive black hole

— 19:13 GMT | Astronomy

The surprising discovery of a supermassive black hole in a small nearby galaxy has given astronomers a tantalising look at how black holes and galaxies may have grown in the early history of the Universe. Finding a black hole a million times more massive than the Sun in a star-forming dwarf galaxy is a strong indication that supermassive black holes formed before the buildup of galaxies, the astronomers said…

Supercomputer unravels structures in DVD materials

— 19:12 GMT | Technology

Although the storage of films and music on a DVD is part of our digital world, the physical basis of the storage mechanism is not understood in detail. In the current issue of the leading journal Nature Materials, researchers from Juelich, Finland, and Japan provide insight into the read and write processes in a DVD. This knowledge should enable improved storage materials to be developed…

Mayo researchers describe measles viral protein movement

— 19:11 GMT | Health

Mayo Clinic researchers have shown that proteins on the surface of a cell twist a viral protein into position, allowing the virus to start infection and cause disease, all in a movement as graceful as a ballroom dance. The findings appear in the current online issue of Nature Structural and Molecular Biology…
