Coral reefs found growing in cold, deep ocean
Imagine descending in a submarine to the ice-cold, ink-black depths of the ocean, 800 metres under the surface of the Atlantic. view more (2008-11-05)
Origins of Life
The origin of life lies in unique ocean reefs, and scientists from the University of Miami's Rosenstiel School of Marine & Atmospheric Science have developed an approach to help investigate them better. view more (2006-11-20)
Hot springs microbes hold key to dating sedimentary rocks, researchers say
Scientists studying microbial communities and the growth of sedimentary rock at Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park have made a surprising discovery about the geological record of life and the environment. view more (2008-01-23)
Purdue study finds dairy better for bones than calcium carbonate
A Purdue University study shows dairy has an advantage over calcium carbonate in promoting bone growth and strength. view more (2009-04-29)
Diabetes research at UH 'crystalizes' with major finding
A University of Houston professor and his student have made a major discovery in the field of diabetes research and diagnosis, finding a new mechanism for the formation of insulin crystals in the pancreas. view more (2006-05-10)
Relic of life in that Martian meteorite? A fresh look
Since the mid-1990s a great debate has raged over whether organic compounds and tiny globules of carbonate minerals imbedded in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001 were processed by living creatures from the Red Planet. view more (2006-03-23)
Mixing without side effects
The range of micromixers offered by IMM is also suitable for processes susceptible to fouling, especially in fine chemistry and pharmaceutics. The new „Interdigital-separation-layer-mixers" are replacing the present generation of „Separation-layer-mixers". The new mixer system has been adapted especially to industrial... view more...

University of Miami scientist uncovers miscalculation in geological undersea record
The precise timing of the origin of life on Earth and the changes in life during the past 4.5 billion years has been a subject of great controversy for the past century. view more (2008-09-11)
Ocean acidification threatens cold-water coral ecosystems
Corals don't only occur in warm, sun-drenched, tropical seas; some species are found at depths of three miles or more in cold, dark waters throughout the world's oceans. view more (2006-04-03)
Regardless of global warming, rising CO2 levels threaten marine life
Like a piece of chalk dissolving in vinegar, marine life with hard shells is in danger of being dissolved by increasing acidity in the oceans. view more (2007-03-09)
Shellfish face an uncertain future in a high CO2 world
Overfishing and disease have decimated shellfish populations in many of the world's temperate estuarine and coastal ecosystems. view more (2009-05-27)
A crystal clear view of chalk formation
Chalk crystallizes differently from the way we once thought it did. This discovery will allow the development of new scale inhibitors and other materials, and has also consequences for climate change. view more (2009-01-26)
Our Ancestors Did Not Suffer From Caries, But Took Drugs
When coming across ancient vessels the archaeologists first of all search for any remnants inside. As a rule, the vessels are crammed full with soil, the analysis of which can help to learn about the content of the vessel. In the course of excavation of burial mounds in Kalmykia Natalia Shishlina (State Historic Museum) collected a lot of soil... view more... (2002-09-26)
MIT's 'electronic nose' could detect hazards
A tiny "electronic nose" that MIT researchers have engineered with a novel inkjet printing method could be used to detect hazards including carbon monoxide, harmful industrial solvents and explosives. view more (2007-11-12)
ESF - EUROMARGINS Now Secured Funding Of More Than 12 Million EUR
EUROMARGINS is a new activity of the European Science Foundation (ESF) that has as its principle focus the imaging, monitoring and modelling of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that are occurring in the passive continental margin. Last year, following a process of reviewing and evaluation, a total of 14 full proposals were... view more... (2003-04-07)
Finding the right mix: A biomaterial blend library
From dental implants to hip replacements, biomaterials have become big business. But scientists pursuing this modern medical revolution share a basic challenge: biocompatibility. view more (2006-10-30)
Oceans may soon be more corrosive than when the dinosaurs died
Increased carbon dioxide emissions are rapidly making the world's oceans more acidic and, if unabated, could cause a mass extinction of marine life similar to one that occurred 65 million years ago when the dinosaurs disappeared. view more (2006-02-21)
Watching rocks grow: Theory explains landscape of geothermal springs
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have successfully modeled the spectacular landscapes seen at geothermal hot springs. view more (2006-07-06)
Building blocks of life formed on Mars
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen and form the building blocks of all life on Earth. By analyzing organic material and minerals in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001, scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory have shown for the first time that building blocks of life formed on Mars early in its history. view more (2007-12-12)
MIT, Harvard offer solution to Mars enigma
Planetary scientists have puzzled for years over an apparent contradiction on Mars. Abundant evidence points to an early warm, wet climate on the red planet, but there's no sign of the widespread carbonate rocks, such as limestone, that should have formed in such a climate. view more (2007-12-26)
