Remains of woolly mammoths have been found in southern Spain, proving that the chilly grip of the last Ice Age extended farther south than thought, palaeontologists said on Thursday.
Self-learning security system for computer networks
Published July 9, 2009, 12:05 pm, PhysOrg
Cyber attacks on computer networks are becoming increasingly commonplace. To counter the threat, they are protected by so-called network intrusion detection systems. But these fail to identify some attacks, or do not spot them until it is too late. To improve matters, Damiano Bolzoni of the University of Twente (The Netherlands) has developed a system which paves the way for a new generation of ...
New research to reduce drug side-effects

Storing Nuclear Waste On-Site ‘Best’ Solution Ahead of New Dump
Published July 9, 2009, 11:37 am, Bloomberg
July 9 (Bloomberg) -- Storing nuclear waste above ground at atomic power plants is the best solution to deal with radioactive material in the U.S. before new underground repositories can be developed, researchers said.
Research may hold key to maintaining embryonic stem cells in lab
Published July 9, 2009, 11:21 am, PhysOrg
In a new study that could transform embryonic stem cell (ES cell) research, scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered why mouse ES cells can be easily grown in a laboratory while other mammalian ES cells are difficult, if not impossible, to maintain.
Methane-eating microbes can use iron and manganese oxides to 'breathe'
Published July 9, 2009, 11:20 am, PhysOrg
Iron and manganese compounds, in addition to sulfate, may play an important role in converting methane to carbon dioxide and eventually carbonates in the Earth's oceans, according to a team of researchers looking at anaerobic sediments. These same compounds may have been key to methane reduction in the early, oxygenless days of the planet's atmosphere.
