Layered graphene sheets could solve hydrogen storage issues
Graphene-carbon formed into sheets a single atom thick-now appears to be a promising base material for capturing hydrogen, according to recent research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Pennsylvania. view more (2010-03-18)
Simulations solve a 20-year-old riddle about why nebulae around masssive stars don't disappear
The birth of the most massive stars-those ten to a hundred times the mass of the Sun-has posed an astrophysical riddle for decades. view more (2010-03-17)
Study highlights forest protected areas as a critical strategy for slowing climate change
A new study involving scientists from 13 different organizations, universities and research institutions states that forest protection offers one of the most effective, practical, and immediate strategies to combat climate change. view more (2010-03-16)
Aquatic 'dead zones' contributing to climate change
The increased frequency and intensity of oxygen-deprived "dead zones" along the world's coasts can negatively impact environmental conditions in far more than just local waters. view more (2010-03-12)
Texas earthquake study cites 'plausible cause'
A study of seismic activity near Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport by researchers from Southern Methodist University and the University of Texas at Austin reveals that the operation of a saltwater injection disposal well in the area was a "plausible cause" for the series of small earthquakes that occurred in the area between Oct.... view more...

More maize ethanol may boost greenhouse gas emissions
In the March issue of BioScience, researchers present a sophisticated new analysis of the effects of boosting use of maize-derived ethanol on greenhouse gas emissions. view more (2010-03-11)
Geraniums could help control devastating Japanese beetle
Geraniums may hold the key to controlling the devastating Japanese beetle, which feeds on nearly 300 plant species and costs the ornamental plant industry $450 million in damage each year, according to scientists with the Agricultural Research Service (ARS). view more (2010-03-09)
Asking "what would nature do?" leads to a way to break down a greenhouse gas
A recent discovery in understanding how to chemically break down the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide into a useful form opens the doors for scientists to wonder what organism is out there - or could be created - to accomplish the task. view more (2010-03-08)
Methane releases from Arctic shelf may be much larger and faster than anticipated
A section of the Arctic Ocean seafloor that holds vast stores of frozen methane is showing signs of instability and widespread venting of the powerful greenhouse gas, according to the findings of an international research team led by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists Natalia Shakhova and Igor Semiletov. view more (2010-03-05)
Chemicals that eased one environmental problem may worsen another
Chemicals that helped solve a global environmental crisis in the 1990s - the hole in Earth's protective ozone layer - may be making another problem - acid rain - worse, scientists are reporting. view more (2010-03-04)
Discovery in legumes could reduce fertilizer use, aid environment: Stanford researchers
Nitrogen is vital for all plant life, but increasingly the planet is paying a heavy price for the escalating use of nitrogen fertilizer. view more (2010-03-01)
Study highlights sustainable footprint of chemical companies
Global chemical companies could release at least one billion Euro in cash flow if they increase their sustainability performance. view more (2010-02-24)
Call made for better metrics for energy savings
A Michigan State University professor says if the world is to make better decisions when it comes to developing new energy sources, it needs to have better methods of measuring progress toward its energy goals. Just how well are we doing at developing alternatives to fossil fuels? view more (2010-02-22)
Russian gas to fall short of EU demand
The political ramifications of dependence on Russian natural gas are a current, lively topic of debate within the EU. view more (2010-02-19)
A second hydrocarbon boom threatens the Peruvian Amazon
A rapid and unprecedented proliferation of oil and gas concessions threatens the megadiverse Peruvian Amazon. The amount of area leased is on track to reach around 70% of the region, threatening biodiversity and indigenous people. view more (2010-02-19)
Jurassic Space: Ancient galaxies come together after billions of years
Imagine finding a living dinosaur in your backyard. Astronomers have found the astronomical equivalent of prehistoric life in our intergalactic backyard: a group of small, ancient galaxies that has waited 10 billion years to come together. view more (2010-02-19)
Orange peels, newspapers may lead to cheaper, cleaner ethanol fuel
Scientists may have just made the breakthrough of a lifetime, turning discarded fruit peels and other throwaways into cheap, clean fuel to power the world's vehicles. view more (2010-02-18)
Pan-frying meat with gas may be worse than electricity for raising cancer risk
Frying meat on a gas hob may be more harmful to health than using an electric hob, because of the type of fumes it produces, suggests research published ahead of print in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. view more (2010-02-18)
NASA's Fermi Closes on Source of Cosmic Rays
New images from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope show where supernova remnants emit radiation a billion times more energetic than visible light. The images bring astronomers a step closer to understanding the source of some of the universe's most energetic particles -- cosmic rays. view more (2010-02-17)
Dramatic changes in agriculture needed as world warms and grows, researchers say
The looming threats of global climate change and population growth call for sweeping changes in how the world produces its food and fiber, warns a group of prestigious scientists, including an expert in plant genetics at the University of California, Davis. view more (2010-02-12)
