Forget the freezer: Research suggests novel way to control water behavior
Researchers may be able to "freeze" water into a solid, not by cooling but by confining it to narrow spaces less than one-millionth of a millimeter wide, according to new results from an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers.   view more (2009-02-23)

Organised at one of... view more... (2002-09-11)

Effect of diet in cattle on N and P emissions to the environment
Over the last decade the market has had a tendency to value food products that are healthy and safe and encourage healthy lifestyles, with the added parameter that their associated production processes are environmentally sound. In the case of systems of cattle production the current and future aim is the obtaining of a quality product within an... view more... (2003-08-25)

Science and tradition in Botswana
Researchers from the University of Leeds are linking their scientific knowledge with the ancient lore of Botswana herdsmen to stop the deterioration of the country's grazing land. Livestock production, one of Botswana`s largest exports, may be under threat unless more sustainable approaches to land use can be developed.   view more (2002-09-30)

Feedstock makes a difference in feeding distiller's grains

Cabernet sauvignon red wine reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease
A new study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine has found that moderate red wine consumption in a form of Cabernet Sauvignon may help reduce the incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD).   view more (2006-09-19)

Semiconducting nanotubes produced in quantity at Duke
After announcing last April a method for growing exceptionally long, straight, numerous and well-aligned carbon cylinders only a few atoms thick, a Duke University-led team of chemists has now modified that process to create exclusively semiconducting versions of these single-walled carbon nanotubes.   view more (2009-01-22)

Wind, water and sun beat biofuels, nuclear and coal for clean energy, Stanford researcher says
The best ways to improve energy security, mitigate global warming and reduce the number of deaths caused by air pollution are blowing in the wind and rippling in the water, not growing on prairies or glowing inside nuclear power plants, says Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford.   view more (2008-12-11)

Identification of role for proteins in children's muscle disease could open up new treatment options
A study presented by Mrs. Elisabeth Elst today shows for the first time that a protein—heat shock protein 60 (HSP60) — that is present in chronic inflammations, triggers a response by T-cells (a type of white blood cells that plays a part in the body's own immune response) in children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).   view more (2006-06-22)

Microorganisms one part of the solution to energy problem, says report
The answer to one of the world's largest problems - the need for clean, renewable sources of energy - might just come from some of the world's smallest inhabitants - bacteria - according to a new report, Microbial Energy Conversion, released by the American Academy of Microbiology.   view more (2006-11-17)

Anesthesia and Alzheimer's
In studies of human brain cells, the widely-used anesthetic desflurane does not contribute to increased production of amyloid-beta protein; however, when combined with low oxygen conditions, it can produce more of this Alzheimer's associated protein.   view more (2008-04-28)

Two bacteria better than one in cellulose-fed fuel cell
No currently known bacteria that allow termites and cows to digest cellulose, can power a microbial fuel cell and those bacteria that can produce electrical current cannot eat cellulose.   view more (2007-07-30)

The Cinderella of the engineers
When components are to be painted, sealed or glued, they need to be cleaned between each individual processing step. Only when they are free of grease and completely clean will the coating materials applied adhere properly to the components and form a lasting bond. In order to test the cleanness of component surfaces, they formerly had to be... view more... (2000-03-28)

Relocation of Production Abroad Drops for First Time
The wave of German companies relocating production activities to foreign countries appears to have crested. For the first time since 1995 the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI, Karlsruhe, has identified a decline from 30 percent to 21 percent. At the same time the number of German companies repatriating production... view more... (2003-02-06)

Biofuel production could undercut efforts to shrink Gulf 'Dead Zone'
Scientists in Pennsylvania report that boosting production of crops used to make biofuels could make a difficult task to shrink a vast, oxygen-depleted "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico more difficult.   view more (2009-09-17)
