Food source threatened by carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide increasing in the atmosphere may affect the microbial life in the sea, which could have an impact on a major food source, warned Dr Ian Joint at a Science Media Centre press briefing today.   view more (2007-12-11)

Methane from microbes: a fuel for the future
Microbes could provide a clean, renewable energy source and use up carbon dioxide in the process, suggested Dr James Chong at a Science Media Centre press briefing today.   view more (2007-12-11)

Waterborne carbon increases threat of environmental mercury
Mercury is a potent neurotoxin and a worrisome environmental contaminant, but the severity of its threat appears to depend on what else is in the water.   view more (2007-12-11)

Arsenic contamination lacks one-size-fits-all remedy
Though a worldwide problem, arsenic contamination of drinking water does not have a universal solution.   view more (2007-12-11)

'Hellish' hot springs yield greenhouse gas-eating bug
A new species of bacteria discovered living in one of the most extreme environments on Earth could yield a tool in the fight against global warming.   view more (2007-12-07)

Diesel exhaust fumes affect people with asthma, finds study on London's Oxford Street
Diesel exhaust fumes on polluted streets have a measurable effect on people with asthma, according to the first study looking at exhausts and asthma in a real-life setting, published on 6 December in the New England Journal of Medicine.   view more (2007-12-06)

Smell experience during critical period alters brain
Unlike the circuitry of the visual system, that of the olfactory system was thought to be hardwired: Once the neurons had formed, no amount of sensory input could change their arrangement.   view more (2007-12-06)

Can fruit flies help treat stroke and transplant patients?
Reperfusion injury takes place when an animal or an organ is starved of oxygen, then exposed to oxygen again. This occurs in strokes and organ transplants and causes many deaths per year.   view more (2007-12-05)

Basque Country University researchers publish two articles in Nature on latest discoveries on Venus
Nature journal has published a series of articles devoted to the new discoveries by the European Space Agency's (ESA) Venus Express space probe made on our neighbouring planet.   view more (2007-12-03)

Leeds researchers fuelling the 'hydrogen economy'
Scientists at the University of Leeds are turning low-grade sludge into high-value gas in a process which could make eco-friendly biodiesel even greener and more economical to produce.   view more (2007-11-28)

Climate change and life in the Southern Ocean
A ten-week expedition to the Lazarev Sea and the eastern part of the Weddell Sea opens this year's Antarctic research season of the German research vessel Polarstern.   view more (2007-11-28)

Planting carbon deep in the earth -- rather than the greenhouse
Storing carbon dioxide deep below the earth's surface could be a safe, long-term solution to one of the planet's major contributors to climate change.   view more (2007-11-27)

Carbon nanotubes to be replaced by MoSIx nanowires in high-tech devices says new study
Carbon nanotubes have long been touted as the wonder material of the future. Applications cited for carbon nanotubes range from super fast computers and ultra small electronics through to materials that are lightweight yet super strong and tougher than diamond.   view more (2007-11-26)

Forests damaged by Katrina may contribute to global warming
Researchers led by biologist Jeffrey Chambers of Tulane University have determined that the losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast forest trees are enough to cancel out a year's worth of new tree biomass (trunks, branches and foliage) growth in other parts of the country.   view more (2007-11-16)

First-ever 'State of the Carbon Cycle Report' finds troubling imbalance
The first "State of the Carbon Cycle Report" for North America, released online this week by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, finds the continent's carbon budget increasingly overwhelmed by human-caused emissions.   view more (2007-11-15)

Engineered weathering process could mitigate global warming
Researchers at Harvard University and Pennsylvania State University have invented a technology, inspired by nature, to reduce the accumulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) caused by human emissions.   view more (2007-11-08)

Scientists enhance Mother Nature's carbon handling mechanism
Taking a page from Nature herself, a team of researchers developed a method to enhance removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and place it in the Earth's oceans for storage.   view more (2007-11-07)

Setting stars reveal planetary secrets
Watching the stars set from the surface of the Earth may be a romantic pastime but when a spacecraft does it from orbit, it can reveal hidden details about a planet's atmosphere.   view more (2007-11-06)

US fires release large amounts of carbon dioxide
Large-scale fires in a western or southeastern state can pump as much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in a few weeks as the state's entire motor vehicle traffic does in a year.   view more (2007-11-01)

Dinosaur Deaths Outsourced to India?
A series of monumental volcanic eruptions in India may have killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, not a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico.   view more (2007-10-31)

Stellar forensics with striking new image from Chandra
A spectacular new image shows how complex a star's afterlife can be. By studying the details of this image made from a long observation by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers can better understand how some stars die and disperse elements like oxygen into the next generation of stars and... view more (2007-10-24)

Unexpected growth in atmospheric CO2
A team of scientists has found that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) growth has increased 35 percent faster than expected since 2000. The findings are published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).   view more (2007-10-23)

North Atlantic slows on the uptake of CO2
Further evidence for the decline of the oceans' historical role as an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide is supplied by new research by environmental scientists from the University of East Anglia.   view more (2007-10-23)

Rise in atmospheric CO2 accelerates as economy grows, natural carbon sinks weaken
Human activities are releasing carbon dioxide faster than ever, while the natural processes that normally slow its build up in the atmosphere appear to be weakening.   view more (2007-10-23)

Pitt professor says harmful byproducts of fossil fuels could be higher in urban areas
Nitrogen oxides, the noxious byproduct of burning fossil fuels that can return to Earth in rain and snow as harmful nitrate, could taint urban water supplies and roadside waterways more than scientists and regulators realize.   view more (2007-10-23)
