Crystal sponges excel at sopping up CO2
Since the Industrial Revolution, levels of carbon dioxide--a major contributor to the greenhouse effect--have been on the rise, prompting scientists to search for ways of counteracting the trend.   view more (2005-12-02)

Transponders keep track of inventory
Clothes make the man, but they also create work. Each consignment has to be recorded on arrival at the warehouse, and again after shipment to one of retail outlets. When the job involves thousands of garments, it can become a real labor of Sisyphus - especially when the time comes round for the... view more (2003-09-18)

Toxic chemicals found in common scented laundry products, air fresheners
A University of Washington study of top-selling laundry products and air fresheners found the products emitted dozens of different chemicals. All six products tested gave off at least one chemical regulated as toxic or hazardous under federal laws, but none of those chemicals was listed on the... view more (2008-07-24)

A balanced memory network
Ever wonder how much information we put in our heads" The answer: a lot. For starters, a typical vocabulary is 50,000-250,000 words.   view more (2007-09-07)

Living in densely populated areas linked to lower body mass
New York City dwellers who reside in densely populated, pedestrian-friendly areas have significantly lower body mass index levels compared to other New Yorkers, according to a new study by the Mailman School of Public Health.   view more (2007-02-21)

Researchers untangle quantum quirk
Quantum computing has been hailed as the next leap forward for computers, promising to catapult memory capacity and processing speeds well beyond current limits. Several challenging problems need to be cracked, however, before the dream can be fully realized.   view more (2008-06-11)

A biomolecular console
In the future, could molecules in complex biotechnological processes be programmed like today's semiconductor microelectronic circuits? To find out, researchers are currently studying the interaction between biological and electrical information. Insights and applications from the field of... view more (2003-03-17)

Cooling milk using sun energy
The company Tarre of Navarre, Basque Country, in collaboration with the Public University of Navarre has built a prototype for cooling milk. This cooling and maintenance system takes the energy directly from a photovoltaic system and so there is no need to use batteries. The prototype integrates... view more (2002-12-03)

UCLA chemists design world's lowest-density crystals for use in clean energy
Chemists at UCLA have designed new organic structures for the storage of voluminous amounts of gases for use in alternative energy technologies.   view more (2007-04-13)

Seeing the forest and the trees
With human emissions of carbon dioxide on the rise, there is growing interest in maintaining the Earth's natural mechanisms that absorb and store carbon.   view more (2005-10-24)

Plant studies reveal how, where seeds store iron
Biologists have learned where and how some plant seeds store iron, a valuable discovery for scientists working to improve the iron content of plants. Their research helps address the worldwide problem of iron deficiency and malnutrition in humans.   view more (2006-11-03)

Higher carbon dioxide, lack of nitrogen limit plant growth
Earth's plant life will not be able to "store" excess carbon from rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels as well as scientists once thought because plants likely cannot get enough nutrients, such as nitrogen, when there are higher levels of carbon dioxide   view more (2006-04-13)

Experiment suggests limitations to carbon dioxide 'tree banking'
While 10 years of bathing North Carolina pine tree stands with extra carbon dioxide did allow the trees to grow more tissue, only those pines receiving the most water and nutrients were able to store significant amounts of carbon that could offset the effects of global warming, scientists told a... view more (2007-08-07)

Scientists at the University of Liverpool have found how coffee can reduce the risk of alcohol-induced pancreatitis.   view more (2006-03-14)

New materials can selectively capture carbon dioxide, UCLA chemists report
UCLA chemists report a major advance in reducing heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions in the Feb. 15 issue of the journal Science.   view more (2008-02-15)

Smithsonian scientists help lead effort to 'barcode' world's species
Smithsonian researchers are among the leaders in a worldwide effort to revolutionize the way scientists identify species in the laboratory and in the field with a technique called DNA barcoding.   view more (2007-09-17)

When proteins, antibodies and other biological molecules kiss, a new kind of biosensor can tell
When biological molecules kiss, a new kind of biosensor can tell. A new and deceptively simple technique has been developed by chemists at Vanderbilt University that can measure the interactions between free-floating, unlabeled biological molecules including proteins, sugars, antibodies, DNA and... view more (2007-09-21)

Flour, cheese and old shrimp shells become new packaging
Imagine throwing out your old shrimp shells after dinner--in a bag made of shrimp shells. In his doctoral dissertation, Mikael G'¤llstedt at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden describes how we can make environmentally friendly packing out of garbage. The number of grocery packages is... view more (2004-05-06)

Phenolic compounds may explain Mediterranean diet benefits
Phenolic compounds in olive oil, which have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties, may explain cardiovascular health benefits associated with the so-called Mediterranean Diet.   view more (2005-11-09)

New research to help fight widespread potato disease
Scientists have made a key discovery into the genetics of the bacteria that causes blackleg, an economically damaging disease of potatoes, that could lead to new ways to fight the disease.   view more (2007-11-08)

Lund scientist to head EU project on acryl amid
The EU has now given the go ahead for a major international project to study acryl amid and other toxic substances that are formed when food is heated. The project comprises 23 collaborative partners, including the Department of Food Engineering at Lund University, the National Food Administration... view more (2003-11-10)
