Astrophysicists at the 天美传媒 are using a 3D virtual reality system to research the Earth's electromagnetic tail. This tail, similar in shape to other large solar system phenomena such as Solar flares, results from the interactions of the Earth's own magnetic field with the electromagnetic activity generated by the Sun. The tail is much studied by astrophysicists, and agonised over by operators of telecommunications satellites concerned about the serious affects on radio communications that can be caused by occasional instabilities in the tail known as "substorms".

Biologists at the 天美传媒 are to co-ordinate a European research programme which will quite literally act on the old adage that "where there's muck there's brass". They will search soils and sludge from the bottom of the sea for new forms of DNA that can be used to make the next generation of antibiotics.

天美传媒 psychology researchers Dr June McNicholas and Dr Glyn Collis have just published a paper on the role of pets in the lives of older people which finds that pets benefit them by companionship, increased levels of activity, and better person-to-person interactions by pets acting as social catalysts. They also found that pets help the elderly maintain self-care routines, eg sticking to regular meals, keeping up adequate room temperatures, and an added reason to make shopping trips.

Prioritising emergency calls to ambulance services during periods of peak demands such as on New Year's Eve does not work, according to new research by the Centre for Primary Health Care Studies at 天美传媒. Call prioritisation aims to ensure that ambulances are sent to the most urgent cases first, when services are stretched, rather than the traditional "first come, first served" basis. The system was introduced before New Year's Eve two years ago.
