Hard Rain: Pitt-led Researchers Create Nano-Particle Coating to Prevent Freezing Rain Buildup on Roads, Power Lines
Preventing the havoc wrought when freezing rain collects on roads, power lines, and aircrafts could be only a few nanometers away. view more (2009-10-30)
LSU scientist finds evidence of 'rain-making' bacteria
Brent Christner, LSU professor of biological sciences, in partnership with colleagues in Montana and France, recently found evidence that rain-making bacteria are widely distributed in the atmosphere. view more (2008-02-29)
Presentation of the "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction"
The Observatory of Bioethics and Law has made public its latest "Document on the Freezing of Oocytes for Human Reproduction", which upholds the authorisation of the cryopreservation of oocytes for use in assisted reproduction. The Document was drawn up by the Opinion Group of the Observatory of Bioethics and Law of the University of... view more... (2002-05-07)
Italy now faces worldwide storm of protest over fertility proposals
Italian legislators now face worldwide condemnation by fertility experts for IVF proposals that could encourage multiple pregnancies and put babies at risk. The International Federation of Fertility Societies (IFFS) has added its voice to that of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, who have already described the proposals as... view more...

Pregnancies from frozen eggs may help couples trapped by Italian law
Berlin, Germany: Five children have been born conceived from previously isolated and frozen egg cells, Italian scientists announced today (Wednesday 30 June 2004) at the 20th annual conference of the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology. The method bears great promise for patients who live in countries where embryo... view more... (2004-06-29)
Clear view of the clouds will bring better weather forecasts
Accurately forecasting rain will be easier thanks to new insights into clouds from a study led by the University of Leeds and UCL (University College London). view more (2005-08-11)
Satellites can help Arctic grazers survive killer winter storms
Rain falling on snow sounds like a relatively harmless weather event, but when it happens in the far north it can mean lingering death for reindeer, musk oxen and other animals that normally graze on the Arctic tundra. view more (2008-03-19)
Freezing breast tumors helps stop cancer's spread in mice, U-M study finds
Freezing a cancer kills it in its place, and also appears to generate an immune response that helps stop the cancer's spread, leading to improved survival rates over surgery. view more (2010-03-03)
Improving China's acid rain control strategy
Scientists are reporting the first evidence that China's sharp focus on reducing widespread damage to soil by acid rain by restricting sulfur dioxide air pollution may have an unexpected consequence: Gains from that pollution control program will be largely offset by increases in nitrogen emissions, which the country's current policy largely... view more...

Rain gardens soak up urban storm water pollution
Properly designed rain gardens can effectively trap and retain up to 99 percent of common pollutants in urban storm runoff, potentially improving water quality and promoting the conversion of some pollutants into less harmful compounds. view more (2006-01-30)
Chemicals that eased one environmental problem may worsen another
Chemicals that helped solve a global environmental crisis in the 1990s - the hole in Earth's protective ozone layer - may be making another problem - acid rain - worse, scientists are reporting. view more (2010-03-04)
Researchers report technique for freezing and preserving genetically enhanced pig embryos
Researchers led by a University of Missouri-Columbia professor of reproductive biotechnology have reported success in freezing and preserving swine embryos that were created by in vitro techniques and that carried modified genetic material. view more (2006-05-04)
Scientists isolate new antifreeze molecule in Alaska beetle
Scientists have identified a novel antifreeze molecule in a freeze-tolerant Alaska beetle able to survive temperatures below minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit. view more (2009-12-15)
Seeing the eye: Weather model advances hurricane intensity prediction
An advanced research weather model run by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is following Hurricane Rita to give scientists a taste of how well forecast models of the future may predict hurricane track, intensity, and important rain and wind features. view more (2005-09-22)
Forecasting where and when the rain will fall
Leeds researchers are aiming to unlock the secrets of the British weather, bringing forecasters one step closer to that elusive holy grail: the ability to predict exactly where, when and how much rain is going to fall. Dr Alan Blyth from the school of the environment explains: "There's still a lot we don't know about exactly how rain is... view more... (2003-11-24)
People's misperceptions cloud their understanding of rainy weather forecasts
If Mark Twain were alive today he might rephrase his frequently cited observation about everyone talking about the weather but not doing anything about it to say, "Everyone reads or watches weather forecasts, but many people don't understand them." view more (2009-04-15)
The roots of civilization trace back to ... roots
About five to seven million years ago, when the lineage of humans and chimpanzees split, edible root plants similar to rutabagas and turnips may have been one of the reasons. view more (2005-09-19)
Tropical Storm Nisha being battered by wind shear
Nisha is not expected to maintain its tropical storm status this weekend, because it is being battered by wind shear. view more (2010-02-01)
NASA data link pollution to rainy summer days in the southeast
Rainfall data from a NASA satellite show that summertime storms in the southeastern United States shed more rainfall midweek than on weekends. Scientists say air pollution from humans is likely driving that trend. view more (2008-02-04)
Evolutionary scrap-heap challenge: Antifreeze fish make sense out of junk DNA
Scientists at the University of Illinois have discovered an antifreeze-protein gene in cod that has evolved from non-coding or 'junk' DNA. view more (2006-04-04)
