Protecting wine grapes from heat and drought
Deficit irrigation is an agricultural technique used to achieve a variety of results depending on the crop. For white wine grapes, it balances the crop load by limiting the canopy size so there aren't too many leaves shading the grapes. view more (2009-02-18)
Airborne mold spores increase kids' risk for multiple allergies
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers say exposure to a certain group of fungal spores—abundant in the air that we breathe every day—can make young children more susceptible to developing multiple allergies later in life. view more (2006-06-14)
Solution to hospital infections could be in the air
A breakthrough in the fight against infections acquired in hospital could be achieved thanks to pioneering new research. The project is investigating the use of ionisers to eradicate airborne infections in hospitals - a technique that could deliver major health benefits and financial savings. Starting in December, the 3-year initiative will be... view more... (2003-12-01)
Particulate emission from natural gas burning home appliances
Natural gas, believed to be among the cleanest forms of fuel, does emit ultrafine airborne particulate matter when burned in home appliances such as stove tops and water heaters. view more (2009-01-09)
Scientists use lasers to measure changes to tropical forests
New technology deployed on airplanes is helping scientists quantify landscape-scale changes occurring to Big Island tropical forests from non-native plants and other environmental factors that affect carbon sequestration. view more (2009-01-26)
Elderly have higher risk for cardiovascular, respiratory disease
New data from a four-year study of 11.5 million Medicare enrollees show that short-term exposure to fine particle air pollution from such sources as motor vehicle exhaust and power plant emissions significantly increases the risk for cardiovascular and respiratory disease among people over 65 years of age. view more (2006-03-08)
Study shows maritime shipping makes hefty contribution to air pollution
Commercial ships emit almost half as much particulate pollutants into the air globally as the total amount released by the world's cars, according to a new study led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Colorado at Boulder. view more (2009-02-27)
Tour takes Physics far and wide
A lecture "Particles and the Universe" aimed at the 16-19 age range, organised by the Institute of Physics, is being given in 40 venues in Britain during the current academic year, in what is the largest schools lecture tour ever staged by the IOP. The lecture is given by Professor Peter Kalmus of Queen Mary and Westfield College. In his talk,... view more... (1999-02-02)
Indoor Air Pollution Increases Asthma Symptoms
A study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University found an association between increasing levels of indoor particulate matter pollution and the severity of asthma symptoms among children. view more (2009-02-19)
New particles get a mass boost
A sophisticated, new analysis has revealed that the next frontier in particle physics is farther away than once thought. New forms of matter not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics are most likely twice as massive as theorists had previously calculated, according to a just-published study. view more (2007-10-02)
Why matter matters in the universe
A new physics discovery explores why there is more matter than antimatter in the universe. view more (2008-03-31)
Airborne asthma allergens
A survey of airborne fungi and fungal spores found in Eastern Puerto Rico suggests that certain species may be a major cause of the high incidence of childhood asthma in this part of the world. view more (2009-03-02)
Research points to more effective catalyst materials for petrochemical industry
Nickel oxide is a very important chemical in modern industrial processes. It is commonly used as a catalyst within the petrochemical industry in areas like the synthesis of olefin gas and the reforming reaction of methane. view more (2006-05-12)
Can Eurofighter's radar win UK's biggest engineering prize?
BAE Systems Avionics Group, based in Edinburgh, has been shortlisted for this year's £50,000 Royal Academy of Engineering MacRobert Award, the UK's most coveted prize for engineering innovation, for the world's first airborne radar that can see all the targets all the time. The unique ECR-90 microwave radar was developed specially for... view more... (2000-07-03)
European Masterclasses on Physics: research centres opened for 3000 high school students
On occasion of the World Year Physics, the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics is participating from March 7th to 19th in the Physics European Masterclasses. An Epog (European Particle-Physics Outreach Group) initiative that opens high school students the doors of the fascinating world of particle physics. view more (2005-03-04)
UK AND SWEDISH SCHOOLS WORK TOGETHER AT CERN
From 15-20 March, sixth-formers from a London school will find out just what it is like to work with people from another country in an international laboratory. Students from Cranford Community School in London and the Skarholmen Gymnasium in Stockholm will be working together on projects at CERN, the European Laboratory for Particle Physics in... view more...

Press invitation: Big bucks for Big Bang scientists
A £1.7 million science laboratory for studying one of the great mysteries of the Universe opens at the University of Sussex on May 14, 2002. The Centre for the Measurement of Particle Electric Dipole Moments has been equipped with the very latest technology to help scientists discover what happened in the aftermath of the 'Big Bang'. Ed... view more... (2002-05-07)
U-M physicists' analysis leads to discovery of new particle
University of Michigan physicists played a leading role in the discovery of a new particle, the Omega b baryon, which is an exotic relative of the proton. view more (2008-09-11)
Custom filler material produces excellent paint without common damage to mixing equipment
In order to produce paint of the highest possible quality, the raw materials must be tightly controlled. This includes the mineral fillers that make up to 50% of the paint. Filler materials like calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin and silica largely govern paint properties like UV resistance, weatherability, abrasion resistance and sheen. view more (2006-05-22)
Controversial new climate change results
New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now. view more (2009-11-11)
