Climate change is already having an impact in the midwest and across the US
Extreme weather, drought, heavy rainfall and increasing temperatures are a fact of life in many parts of the U.S. as a result of human-induced climate change. view more (2009-06-17)
OSU Creates World's First Transparent Integrated Circuit
Researchers at Oregon State University have created the world's first completely transparent integrated circuit from inorganic compounds, another major step forward for the rapidly evolving field of transparent electronics. view more (2006-03-20)
Assessment model gauges lung cancer risk based on medical history and genetics
Physicians have little to help them predict development of lung cancer in their patients-even a history of heavy smoking doesn't really help, since only a small fraction of lifetime smokers develops the cancer. view more (2006-04-05)
Bacterium takes a shine to metals
Exposed metal surfaces are highly vulnerable to corrosion, but paint or other protective coatings can interfere with some uses, as well as add significant costs. view more (2006-06-19)
UA Physicists Discover 'Super Crystals' in a Semiconductor
University of Arizona physicists have discovered that "super crystals" -- crystals which are hundreds to thousands times larger than conventional crystals -- exist in certain organic semiconducting solids. view more (2007-08-17)

Mystery of metallic glass is cracked by Johns Hopkins engineers
Using state-of-the-art lab techniques and powerful computer simulations, Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered how atoms pack themselves in unusual materials known as metallic glasses. view more (2006-01-27)
Solitons Seen in a Solid
Isolated vibrations within a three-dimensional solid have been observed for the first time by researchers in the U.S. and Germany. The work could help explain how metals such as uranium behave when bent, compressed or heated. view more (2006-04-07)
The largest leachate plant in Europe
Leachates are the dirty or contaminated waters from landfills, produced as a consequence of both the moisture already present in the waste as well as of rainwater contaminated on passing through the waste material. The leachate plant has a capacity for treating 350,000 cubic metres a year, equivalent to the amount of wastewater generated by a city... view more... (2004-02-25)
Alcohol consumption and polymorphisms of cytochromes P4502E1 are high risks for ESCC
Heavier alcohol consumption increases the risk of ESCC. There are synergetic interactions among alcohol drinking and ALDH2, ADH1B, CYP2E1 genotypes. view more (2008-03-13)
New National Institute of Mental Health research program launches autism trials
The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has launched three major clinical studies on autism at its research program on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland. view more (2006-09-08)
Dartmouth researchers alarmed by levels of mercury and arsenic in Chinese freshwater ecosystem
A team of researchers, led by biologists at Dartmouth, has found potentially dangerous levels of mercury and arsenic in Lake Baiyangdian, the largest lake in the North China Plain and a source of both food and drinking water for the people who live around it. view more (2008-01-10)
MU study finds binge drinking among college students impaires decision-making ability
People addicted to alcohol and young adults who are heavy drinkers, but not considered alcoholics, have something in common: they possess poor decision-making skills, according to psychologists at the University of Missouri-Columbia. view more (2007-05-29)
MSU researcher adds to knowledge of how early stars, galaxies formed
Research by a Michigan State University scientist sheds new light on how stars and galaxies were formed back in the early days of the universe - some 13 billion years ago. view more (2009-07-10)
Reserve, National Guard at higher risk of alcohol-related problems after returning from combat
Younger service members and Reserve and National Guard combat personnel returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are at increased risk of new-onset heavy drinking, binge drinking and other alcohol-related problems. view more (2008-08-13)
Russian Filter For Russian Exhausts
Automobiles manufactured in Russia are now often equipped with expensive American or European catalytic exhaust scrubbers - converters. However, according the opinion of researchers from the Mendeleyev Russian Chemical-Engineering University, Russian automobiles will be soon equipped with exhaust scrubbers manufactured in Russia. Traditional... view more... (2004-06-15)
New recipe for dwarf galaxies: Start with leftover gas
There is more than one way to make a dwarf galaxy, and NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer has found a new recipe. view more (2009-02-19)
Novel Chemistry for Ethylene and Tin
New work by chemists at UC Davis shows that ethylene, a gas that is important both as a hormone that controls fruit ripening and as a raw material in industrial chemistry, can bind reversibly to tin atoms. view more (2009-09-30)
