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)
How rusty is the Earth?
An iron object lying around outside quickly turns rusty. Iron metal always has to be combined with some other elements or coated with paint to stop it corroding. The reason for this is that iron metal is unstable in the presence of the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere. It reacts with the iron to produce ferric iron, a form of iron that exists in... view more... (2004-06-10)
Can brain-injured, partially-blind stroke patients regain some of their lost vision?
Is it possible to offer hope for stroke patients who've lose part of their vision? A study published by SAGE in the journal Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair explores that question. view more (2007-09-05)
Gravity detector spots underground hideaways
A new way of detecting underground bunkers or hideaways - called gravity gradiometry - is announced today in the Institute of Physics journal, Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics. Gravity gradiometry detects differences in the Earth's gravitational attraction caused by hollows in the ground where underground stores or tunnels lie. Ways of... view more... (2001-01-25)
New technique in treating patients with liver cancer proves effective
Use of multipolar radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of colorectal liver metastases is effective and has a relatively low recurrence rate, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Charité, Campus Benjamin Franklin in Berlin, Germany. view more (2008-04-14)
Deadly hypoxic event finally concludes
The longest, largest and most devastating hypoxic event ever observed in marine waters off the Oregon Coast has finally ended. view more (2006-10-31)
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...

Scientists Discover New Planet Orbiting Dangerously Close to Giant Star
A team of astronomers from Penn State and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland has discovered a new planet that is closely orbiting a red-giant star, HD 102272, which is much older than our own Sun. view more (2008-11-19)
Nitrous oxide from ocean microbes
A large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the oxygen poor parts of the ocean using nitrites, Dr Mark Trimmer told journalists at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
Exceptions prove rule of tropical importance in biodiversity
Even a group of shellfish that appear to violate the overarching pattern of global biodiversity actually follows the same biological rules as other marine organisms, confirming a general theory for the spread of life on Earth. view more (2007-11-08)
UMass Medical School study identifies the best weight-loss plans for heart health
Over the past three decades, the rising obesity epidemic has been accompanied by a proliferation of weight-loss plans. However, as a new study by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) reveals, these weight-loss plans vary significantly in their ability to positively affect heart health. view more (2007-10-01)
32 new exoplanets found
The latest batch of exoplanets announced today comprises no less than 32 new discoveries. Including these new results, data from HARPS have led to the discovery of more than 75 exoplanets in 30 different planetary systems. view more (2009-10-20)
A robot for building planes
Fatronik Technological Centre has put the finishing touches to the development of a portable climbing robot capable of carrying out precision operations and originally designed for the aeronautics sector. view more (2005-04-13)
Prelude to an Earthquake?
A geophysicist from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) has identified possible seismic precursors to two recent California earthquakes, including the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that wreaked havoc throughout the Bay Area. view more (2005-12-12)
Hunt for planets outside solar system uncovers a small one
Perhaps edging closer to finding planets that harbor life, astronomers have discovered the smallest planet yet identified outside our solar system. view more (2006-01-26)
Continents loss to oceans boosts staying power
New research suggests that the geological staying power of continents comes partly from their losing battle with the Earth's oceans over magnesium. view more (2008-04-02)
Tunisia: Small Dams Useful For Maintaining Aquifer Levels
In Tunisia, fierce, sometimes catastrophic, flooding is favoured by sudden bursts of rainfall and by erosion- prone soils. This is especially the case in the large wadis in the centre of the country. Large amounts of sediment flow into reservoirs, reducing the useful life of the dams and destroying and depleting the soils in the drainage basins.... view more... (2001-10-11)
PLoS Biology Press Release: Hypoxia Offsets Damage from Oxygen Therapy, Real Time Microscopy Tracks Developing T Cells, and More
Hypoxia Can Offset the Potentially Damaging Effects of Oxygen Therapy Physicians well know that too little oxygen (hypoxia) causes headaches, nausea, and eventually death. But too much oxygen (hyperoxia) kills, too. In a new study in the open-access journal PLoS Biology, a team led by Michail Sitkovsky show that oxygenation weakens a... view more... (2005-04-27)
Fisheries forecasting in the Niger inner delta
The hydrological regime of the inner delta of the River Niger, situated in Mali, is subject to strong annual and indeed intra-annual variability. This delta ecosystem has a characteristic feature, a three-phase cycle. The first, a period of flood, starts in July marking the beginning of the cycle; then, after several months of rising water-levels,... view more... (2002-03-27)
2,000-year-old Settlement In Santiagomendi (Basque Country)
A research team from the Sociedad de Ciencias Aranzadi and the University of Deusto have been working around the summit of Santiagomendi (Astigarraga) since 1993 and have recently made important discoveries about the site's past. Santiagomendi is known above all for its hilltop church, traditionally linked with the Camino de Santiago, but the... view more... (2004-08-11)
