A biomedical informatics researcher who tracks dangerous viruses as they spread around the globe has restructured his innovative tracking software to promote even wider use of the program around the world.

Two
recent studies that tested two ways to protect autoworkers from injury
found letting autoworkers sit while they reach into a car's interior to
perform assembly could help prevent shoulder and back strain. But a
possibly better overall solution the researchers suggested might be to
tilt the entire car so that workers can stand up.

Letting autoworkers sit while they reach into a car's interior could
help
prevent shoulder and back strain—but another solution might be to tilt
the
entire car so that workers can stand up. That's the finding of two recent studies, which tested two ways to
protect
autoworkers from injury.

Surveying the wide range of parallel system architectures offered in the supercomputer market, an Ohio state University researcher recently sought to establish some side-by-side performance comparisons.

A new method to reveal the structure of proteins could help researchers understand biological molecules—both those involved in causing disease and those performing critical functions in healthy cells. The new solid-state NMR method uses paramagnetic tags to help visualize the shape of protein molecules.

Using a new ultrafast camera, researchers have recorded the first real-time image of two atoms vibrating in a molecule. Key to the experiment is the researchers' use of the energy of a molecule's own electron as a kind of "flash bulb" to illuminate the molecular motion.

Every
year, more and stronger chemicals are introduced into our bodies to
fight disease, but have little knowledge of how they impact some of our
most important cells. Bioengineers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute
and the University of California, Berkeley will soon launch an effort
to find out whether stem cells react to chemicals in fundamentally
different ways than other cells.

Researchers are beginning their analysis of what are probably the first successful ice cores drilled to bedrock from a glacier in the eastern European Alps. With luck, that analysis will yield a record of past climate and environmental changes in the region for several centuries, and perhaps even covering the last 1,000 years.

A
new study has identified a gene mutation that researchers estimate
dates back to 11,600 B.C., making it the second oldest human disease
mutation yet discovered. Researchers say that although the mutation,
which causes a rare vitamin deficiency, is found in vastly different
ethnic populations, it originated in a single, prehistoric individual
and was passed down to that individual's descendents.

As
the Greenland Ice Sheet melts, the rockbound coast rises, as much at 15
mm or more per year. According to results from GPS stations around the
island, the temperature spike in 2010 lifted the bedrock a detectably
higher amount in a short five-month period.
