Amazon powers tropical ocean's carbon sink
Nutrients from the Amazon River spread well beyond the continental shelf and drive carbon capture in the deep ocean, according to the authors of a multi-year study. view more (2008-07-22)
Scientists make step forward in drug detection
Scientists at The University of Nottingham are leading the field in developing a new detection system that could be used to test athletes for performance-enhancing drugs. view more (2005-02-16)
Carbon sinks: Issues, markets, policy
With reducing carbon emissions on the national agenda, a group of expert panelists will discuss methods, markets, testing and policy issues on how carbon sinks or carbon sequestration may be used to reduce atmospheric CO2. view more (2008-09-29)
North Sea efficient sink for carbon dioxide
The measured annual increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere is only 60 percent of the annual emissions from fossil fuels. view more (2005-10-11)
CO2 emissions increasing faster than expected
Carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels - the principal driver of climate change - have accelerated globally at a far greater rate than expected over recent years. view more (2007-05-22)
The fight for the best quantum bit (qubit)
Our results give us, for the first time, the possibility to understand the interaction between just two electrons placed next to each other in a carbon nanotube. view more (2008-06-25)
MIT: 'Nanostitching' could strengthen airplane skins, more
MIT engineers are using carbon nanotubes only billionths of a meter thick to stitch together aerospace materials in work that could make airplane skins and other products some 10 times stronger at a nominal increase in cost. view more (2009-03-05)
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)
Bugs expose underground carbon traffic system 10 times more important than fossil fuel burning
The flow of carbon through soil is ten times greater than the amount of carbon moved around by the burning of fossil fuel but until now how this happens was at best poorly understood. view more (2005-10-10)
Magnet Made Of Pure Carbon
All known magnets contain metals and so far scientists believed that non-metallic material could not behave like a strong magnet. However, at the end of 20th century, some organic substances with strong magnetic properties were found, but they were magnetic only at very low temperatures, just above liquid helium. It seemed impossible to obtain... view more... (2001-10-24)
Carbon nanotube absorption measured in worms, cancer cells
University of Michigan researchers have discovered how to measure the absorption of multi-walled carbon nanoparticles into worms and cancer cells, a breakthrough that will revolutionize scientists' understanding of how the particles impact the living environment. view more (2006-03-29)
Nutrition and heredity are genetically linked
A challenging goal in biology is to understand how the principal cellular functions are integrated so that cells achieve viability and optimal fitness under a wide range of nutritional conditions. view more (2007-05-17)
Plants' role in global warming re-examined in ORNL Science paper
Estimates of increased plant respiration in response to higher global temperatures may be somewhat overstated as they have not taken into account plants' ability to adjust to changing conditions, according to researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. view more (2006-05-02)
'Green' roofs may help put lid on global warming
"Green" roofs, those increasingly popular urban rooftops covered with plants, could help fight global warming, scientists in Michigan are reporting. view more (2009-09-24)
All the carbon counts
Cutting down forests for agriculture vents excess carbon dioxide into the air just as industrial activities and the burning of fossil fuels do. view more (2009-05-29)
Ancient Oak Trees Help Reduce Global Warming, MU Study Finds
The battle to reduce carbon emissions is at the heart of many eco-friendly efforts, and researchers from the University of Missouri have discovered that nature has been lending a hand. Researchers at the Missouri Tree Ring Laboratory in the Department of Forestry discovered that trees submerged in freshwater aquatic systems store carbon for... view more... (2008-06-30)
New model revises estimates of terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new model of global carbon and nitrogen cycling that will fundamentally transform the understanding of how plants and soils interact with a changing atmosphere and climate. view more (2007-12-12)
Ventilation is essential for kitchens with gas cookers, says safety expert
Gas cookers emit ultra-fine particles and other compounds that pollute the indoor atmosphere. Householders are urged, therefore, to ensure that their kitchens are properly ventilated, preferably using extract cooker hoods or extract fans. This important advice was given by Professor Gary Raw from the Building Research Establishment at a symposium... view more... (1999-10-27)
Chemists Find Too Much Air Sticks Precious Carbon Footballs Together
Ever since researchers discovered a form of carbon consisting of a class of miniature, football-like structures known as fullerenes, they have been racing to use the unique structures in all kinds of novel ways from drug delivery to nanotechnology. However, chemists at the Universities of Warwick and Surrey have found that there could be a major... view more... (1998-12-15)
Identification of carbon dioxide receptors in insects may help fight infectious disease
Mosquitoes don't mind morning breath. They use the carbon dioxide people exhale as a way to identify a potential food source. But when they bite, they can pass on a number of dangerous infectious diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever, and West Nile encephalitis. view more (2006-12-14)
