Earlier plantings underlie yield gains in northern Corn Belt
U.S. farmers plant corn much earlier today than ever before and it seems to be paying off, at least in the north. Earlier plantings could account for up to half of the yield gains seen in some parts of the northern Corn Belt since the late 1970s, a new study has found.   view more (2008-02-28)

Alcohol-based Disinfectant Hand Gels Could Increase Infection In Hospitals (p 1489)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggest that recently introduced disinfectant gels for hand hygiene are significantly less effective than rinses and could contribute to an increase in hospital-based infection. Hand hygiene among health-care workers is a major... view more (2002-04-24)

Harvesting Arctic algae
Microorganisms living in the depths of the oceans under conditions unbearable for humans utilize hot springs to produce their energy and substances. Some bacteria and algae feel right at home in the boiling waters of a geyser and others in acid ponds or salt waters. Still others populate glaciers... view more (2002-09-20)

Scientists show gene mutation may cause immature lungs in newborns

Novel fungus helps beetles to digest hard wood
A little known fungus tucked away in the gut of Asian longhorned beetles helps the insect munch through the hardest of woods according to a team of entomologists and biochemists. Researchers say the discovery could lead to innovative methods of controlling the invasive pest, and potentially offer... view more (2008-08-19)

Genetically modified eggplants (aubergines) shown to be 30% more productive
Research, published in the online journal, BMC Biotechnology shows how researchers in Italy have used genetically modified eggplants made by the introduction of a gene that increases the level of the plant hormone indole acetic acid (IAA) to produce seedless fruits. Furthermore, these genetically... view more (2002-04-26)

Spray forming aerospace alloys for bigger aircraft
Metals are atomised during the process using Argon or Nitrogen gas to form droplets (10-500 micrometers) that are then deposited onto the surface of the pre-formed component via a spray cone. Adding ceramic particulate (5-15 micrometer Silicon Carbide) converts the alloy coating to form a metal... view more (1999-05-28)

Sensory feedback during speech: The brain attunes to more than just sound
