New quantum state: two electrons trapped in an excited atom
Researchers from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the University of Salamanca have discovered a method to generate a new quantum phenomenon which had never been explored until now: simultaneous trapping of two particules between two excited energy states. The research, reported in... view more (2002-01-23)

Cleaner Air Linked To Reduced Death Rates
Two population studies in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how poor air quality is directly related to increased risk of death from respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Luke Clancy from St James Hospital, Dublin, and colleagues from Trinity College and Dublin Institute of Technology,... view more (2002-10-16)

Reduction of body iron stores and cardiovascular outcomes
The reduction of body iron stores through phlebotomy (blood removal) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) does not appear to decrease the risk of death plus nonfatal cardiovascular events.   view more (2007-02-14)

Catalytic converter gets the pollution out of diesel engines
In the near future the usual summer ozone peaks exceeding the allowed threshold may be a thing of the past: the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland has developed a new type of catalytic conversion system, which filters nearly all nitrogen oxides out of diesel exhaust gases using a refined... view more (2004-09-08)

REDUCTION OF RICEFIELD METHANE EMISSION
Methane (CH4) is considered to be the third most important gas, after carbon dioxide (CO2) and freons, in its contribution to the greenhouse effect and hence to global warming. Cores taken from the ice cap have shown that its concentration in the atmosphere has tripled in 100 years. This figure... view more (1999-07-07)
