Strengthening case for life on Mars - CMD19CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When it was announced last month that the Mars Odyssey satellite had found water ice beneath the planet`s frozen carbon dioxide south polar ice cap, "I felt excited!" says Dr Lidija Siller, a physicist from the University of Newcastle. "I believe that the data I have explains how this water became... view more (2002-03-26)

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)

Research on how plants transport sugars could be of critical importance in era of global warming
How do many plants ship sugars from their leaves to flowers, roots, fruits and other parts of their structure? Using genetic engineering techniques, Cornell researchers have finally proven a long-standing theory of how this occurs.   view more (2007-12-26)

Deep-sea sediments could safely store man-made carbon dioxide
An innovative solution for the man-made carbon dioxide fouling our skies could rest far beneath the surface of the ocean, say scientists at Harvard University.   view more (2006-08-08)

Seeing the forest and the trees
With human emissions of carbon dioxide on the rise, there is growing interest in maintaining the Earth's natural mechanisms that absorb and store carbon.   view more (2005-10-24)

How the atmospheres of Mars and Venus are affected by carbon monoxide
Modelling of the Earth's atmosphere has acquired economic importance due to its use in the prediction of ozone depletion and in measuring the impact of global warming.   view more (2008-02-26)

NORTH ATLANTIC SLOWS DOWN THE GREENHOUSE-EFFECT
What sounds to us like bookkeeping of global change and tedious science, has a big meaning for our climate future. After all, traffic and industrial plants in Europe and North America play a particularly large role in the carbon dioxide pollution of the atmosphere and the greenhouse-effect... view more (1999-06-08)

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)

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)

Bad sign for global warming: Thawing permafrost holds vast carbon pool
Permafrost blanketing the northern hemisphere contains more than twice the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, making it a potentially mammoth contributor to global climate change depending on how quickly it thaws.   view more (2008-09-04)

Genetic discovery could lead to drought-resistant plants
New knowledge of how plants "breathe" may help us breed and select plants that would better survive scorching summers, says a University of Toronto study.   view more (2005-07-19)

Carbon molecule with a charge could be tomorrow's semiconductor
Virginia Tech chemistry Professor Harry Dorn has developed a new area of fullerene chemistry that may be the backbone for development of molecular semiconductors and quantum computing applications.   view more (2008-09-09)

Ocean's 'twilight zone' may be a key to understanding climate change
A major study sheds new light on the role of carbon dioxide once it's transported to the oceans' depths. The research indicates that instead of sinking, carbon dioxide is often consumed by animals and bacteria and recycled in the "twilight zone," a dimly lit area 100 to 1,000 meters below... view more (2007-04-30)

On the cutting edge: Carbon nanotube cutlery
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Colorado at Boulder (CU) have designed a carbon nanotube knife that, in theory, would work like a tight-wire cheese slicer.   view more (2006-11-27)

Health professionals must help tackle climate change
Climate change is a major public health threat which health professionals must help to tackle, argues an expert in this week's BMJ.   view more (2006-06-09)

Southern ocean carbon sink weakened
Scientists have observed the first evidence that the Southern Ocean's ability to absorb the major greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, has weakened by about 15 per cent per decade since 1981.   view more (2007-05-21)

Carnegie Mellon urges industry to broaden carbon footprint calculations
Carnegie Mellon University researchers are urging companies to embrace new methods for following the trail of dangerous carbon emissions that are responsible for much of the world's global warming threats.   view more (2008-08-18)

New earth observation centres announced
Two new centres which will use satellites and models to help forecast earthquakes and the effects of carbon in climate change were announced (Wednesday 17 October) by Lord Sainsbury, Science & Innovation Minister. Said Lord Sainsbury, " I am delighted to announce that the Natural... view more (2001-10-19)

Air technology goes underground for £1 million tunnel strengthening project
UK researchers are pioneering £1 million project which could make costly, large-scale disruption of the Underground, due to structural improvements, a thing of the past.   view more (1998-09-04)

Scientists Discover What Plants Do During Long Winter Nights
In research published today scientists at the John Innes Centre (JIC), Norwich(1), report on what plants do during the hours of darkness. During daylight hours plants use the energy from sunlight to power the production of food (sugar) from carbon dioxide and water. This process (photosynthesis) is... view more (2003-12-29)

Toward world's smallest radio: nano-sized detector turns radio waves into music
