| European Neanderthals were on the verge of extinction even before the arrival of modern humans Posted: 25 Feb 2012 08:09 AM PST Most Neanderthals in Europe died off around 50,000 years ago, new research suggests. The previously held view of a Europe populated by a stable Neanderthal population for hundreds of thousands of years up until modern humans arrived must therefore be revised, researchers say.  |
| Training parents is good medicine for children with autism behavior problems, study suggests Posted: 24 Feb 2012 04:43 PM PST Children with autism spectrum disorders who also have serious behavioral problems responded better to medication combined with training for their parents than to treatment with medication alone, researchers report.  |
| Significant state-by-state differences in black, white life expectancy Posted: 24 Feb 2012 04:43 PM PST A group of researchers tracing disparities in life expectancy between blacks and whites in the US has found that white males live about 7 years longer on average than African American men and that white women live more than 5 years longer than their black counterparts.  |
| Advancing personalized medicine: Tailoring drugs to fit a patient's genetic predisposition Posted: 24 Feb 2012 12:27 PM PST Researchers are examining how drugs can be matched to a patient's genetic information through the study of single nucleotide polymorphisms.  |
| Liquid water diffusion at molecular level Posted: 24 Feb 2012 08:07 AM PST Researchers have described for the first time the diffusion of liquid water through nanochannels in molecular terms; nanochannels are extremely tiny channels with a diameter of 1-100 nanometers that scientists use to study the behavior of molecules. This study might have an important impact on water desalinization and filtration methods. The introduction of graphene membranes and carbon nanolayers will revolutionize water desalinization and filtration processes, as water diffuses rapidly through these materials when their pores are 1nm in diameter.  |
