Children raised by gay couples show good progress through school
By mining data from the 2000 Census, sociologist Michael Rosenfeld figured out the rates at which kids raised by gay and straight couples repeated a grade during elementary or middle school. View More (2010-09-01)
New study shows that oilsands mining and processing are polluting the Athabasca River
Inorganic elements known to be toxic at low concentrations are being discharged to air and water by oilsands mining and processing. View More (2010-08-31)
Mining bacterial genomes reveals valuable 'hidden' drugs
A new tool to excavate bacterial genomes that potentially hide a rich array of pharmaceutical treasures has led to the discovery of a novel antibiotic. The study, reported in the August issue of Microbiology, could lead to new treatments for serious diseases that are rapidly acquiring multi-drug resistance. View More (2010-08-02)
Data mining made faster
To many big companies, you aren't just a customer, but are described by multiple "dimensions" of information within a computer database. Now, a University of Utah computer scientist has devised a new method for simpler, faster "data mining," or extracting and analyzing massive amounts of such data. View More (2010-07-22)
Online release of North American industrial pollution data reveals significant reporting gaps

Improving network firewalls
A firewall is the safety barrier between a computer network and the outside world. Individuals, companies and large organizations alike rely on a firewall being robust enough to fend off hackers attempting to break into a computer system. View More (2010-04-16)
Healing haze: Substances in smoke left over from forest fires speed plant growth
The hazy smoke lingering after forest fires contains chemicals that summon the forest back to life - and now are emerging as a potential new generation of agricultural chemicals that could boost food crop production and revitalize barren soil. View More (2010-04-15)
A different kind of mine disaster
The world's largest antimony mine has become the world's largest laboratory for studying the environmental consequences of escaped antimony -- an element whose environmental and biological properties are still largely a mystery. View More (2010-04-13)
Eastern US forests resume decline
After increasing during much of the 20th century, forest cover in the eastern United States in recent decades has resumed its previous decline, according to an exhaustive new analysis published in the April 2010 issue of BioScience. View More (2010-04-07)
