New findings by St. Michael's researchers about the way cells work could lead to a test and therapy for kidney failure caused by E. coli
TORONTO, Ont., Jan. 10, 2012—Ever since the water supply in Walkerton, Ont., was contaminated by E. coli in 2000, Dr. Philip Marsden has been trying to figure out just how a toxin released by that particular strain of the bacteria causes kidney damage in children.

Hubble pinpoints furthest protocluster of galaxies ever seen
2012-01-11
Using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered a cluster of galaxies in the initial stages of development, making it the most distant such grouping ever observed in the early Universe.
In a sky survey made in near-infrared light Hubble has spotted five galaxies clustered together. They are so distant that their light has taken 13.1 billion years to reach us. These galaxies are among the brightest galaxies at that early stage of the Universe's history. They are also very young: we are seeing them just 600 million years after the Universe's birth ...

Yachting Exclusive: December Yachting Round Up
2012-01-11
Despite the recent good weather in the Mediterranean, which has seen an unseasonal extension of the summer luxury yacht charter season, every good thing must come to an end and as we move into 2012 the focus of the luxury yacht charter market inevitably moves west to Florida and the Caribbean. Unfortunately the good weather clearly did not manage the move west and the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which took place between the 28th and 31st of October, was hit by stormy wet weather that had an inevitably negative effect on attendance.

The path less traveled: Research is driving solutions to improve unpaved roads
2012-01-11
MANHATTAN, KAN. -- A Kansas State University graduate student sees the unpaved road ahead, and it's filled with biomaterial.
Wilson Smith, master's student in civil engineering, Independence, Mo., is working with lignin, a plant-based sustainable material that can be added to improve the quality of unpaved roads throughout Kansas.
More than 70 percent of the 98,000 miles of roads in Kansas are unpaved, Smith said.
"One of the problems with unpaved roads is that they are made from loose granular soils with particles that are not bound to each other on the road surface," ...
Who's wealthy? Beyond net worth, asset and debt levels change our perceptions
2012-01-11
Will borrowing money to buy a new car make you feel richer? It depends on your net worth, says a new study in Psychological Science, a journal published by the Association for Psychological Science. "People's perceptions of wealth vary not only as a function of their net worth, but also of the amount of assets and debt they have," says Princeton University psychology graduate student Abigail B. Sussman, who wrote the study with Princeton professor Eldar Shafir. In fact, increasing your assets by taking on debt affects perceived wealth in opposite ways for people who are ...
Nature Materials: Quick-cooking nanomaterials in microwave to make tomorrow's air conditioners
2012-01-11
Troy, N.Y. – Engineering researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a new method for creating advanced nanomaterials that could lead to highly efficient refrigerators and cooling systems requiring no refrigerants and no moving parts. The key ingredients for this innovation are a dash of nanoscale sulfur and a normal, everyday microwave oven.
At the heart of these solid-state cooling systems are thermoelectric materials, which can convert electricity into a range of different temperatures—from hot to cold. Thermoelectric refrigerators employing these ...
