Deep in the ocean, a clam that acts like a plant
How does life survive in the black depths of the ocean? At the surface, sunlight allows green plants to "fix" carbon from the air to build their bodies.   view more (2007-02-21)

Algae could one day be major hydrogen fuel source
As gas prices continue to soar to record highs, motorists are crying out for an alternative that won't cramp their pocketbooks.   view more (2008-04-02)

An irregular heartbeat makes exercise deadly
The results of a study in mice that was conducted by researchers from Vanderbilt University has provided a potential explanation for why the heartbeat of humans lacking the protein cardiac calsequestrin (CASQ2) is irregular, and potentially fatal, only during exercise and not at other times.   view more (2006-08-25)

Hydrogen peroxide marshals immune system
When you were a kid your mom poured it on your scraped finger to stave off infection.   view more (2009-06-04)

The man from Southampton-he says yes!
23 October 1998 How do farmers know when their tomatoes are perfect and just right for picking? Southampton researchers have harnessed the same technology used to print T-shirts to develop a simple, robust device that can be used in the field to indicate when fruit is ripe. John Atkinson, head of the University of Southampton's Thick Film Unit... view more... (1998-11-17)

Classic experiments give new insight on life's origin
The building blocks of life may have emerged in volcanic eruptions on the early Earth, according to a new analysis of classic experiments performed more than fifty years ago.   view more (2008-10-17)

Scientists a step closer to producing fuel from bacteria
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have shown how bacteria could be used as a future fuel. The research, published in the journal Bioinformatics, could have significant implications for the environment and the way we produce sustainable fuels in the future.   view more (2008-08-07)

New clues about a hydrogen fuel catalyst
To use hydrogen as a clean energy source, some engineers want to pack hydrogen into a larger molecule, rather than compressing the gas into a tank.   view more (2009-08-05)

How the Moon produces its own water
The Moon is a big sponge that absorbs electrically charged particles given out by the Sun. These particles interact with the oxygen present in some dust grains on the lunar surface, producing water.   view more (2009-10-15)

From Europa to the lab, a new recipe for oxygen on icy moons
A new Pacific Northwest National Laboratory study offers the most detailed picture to date on how oxygen can be made in frigid reaches far from Earth.   view more (2006-03-28)

New aerogels could clean contaminated water, purify hydrogen for fuel cells
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have identified a new technique for cleansing contaminated water and potentially purifying hydrogen for use in fuel cells, thanks to the discovery of a innovative type of porous material.   view more (2007-07-31)

Hydrogen as an alternative energy to petroleum
The key aspect of the project is the obtaining of metal hydrides with the capacity to "store" the hydrogen used in automotive vehicle fuel batteries.   view more (2004-03-15)

Peaches Need Mineral Supplements Too
Peaches and nectarines sprayed with a calcium, magnesium and titanium-containing formulation increases fruit firmness and lifespan, according to new research published in Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture. Spanish researchers found that applying these natural compounds to peach and nectarine trees pre-harvest gives dramatic... view more... (2004-06-16)

Gladstone scientists reveal the genetics of fat storage in cells
New research by the Gladstone Institutes of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), has revealed the genetic determinants of fat storage in cells, which may lead to a new understanding of and potential treatments for obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.   view more (2008-05-22)

Pitt, NETL researchers report molecular chain reaction thought to be impossible
People said it couldn't be done, but researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the U.S. Department of Energy National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) in Pittsburgh demonstrated a molecular chain reaction on a metal surface, a nanoscale process with sizable potential in areas from nanotechnology to developing information storage... view more...

Arecibo telescope finds critical ingredients for the soup of life in a galaxy far, far away
Astronomers from Arecibo Observatory radio telescope in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, have detected for the first time the molecules methanimine and hydrogen cyanide - two ingredients that build life-forming amino acids - in a galaxy some 250 million light years away.   view more (2008-01-15)

New Brandeis research sheds light on memory by erasing it
For years, scientists have studied the molecular basis of memory storage, trying to find the molecules that store memory, just as DNA stores genetic memory.   view more (2007-05-09)

UC San Diego Scientists Develop Sensor for Homemade Bombs
A team of chemists and physicists at the University of California, San Diego has developed a tiny, inexpensive sensor chip capable of detecting trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide, a chemical used in the most common form of homemade explosives.   view more (2008-03-19)

University of Iowa scientists use blood-brain barrier as therapy delivery system
The blood brain barrier is generally considered an obstacle to delivering therapies from the bloodstream to the brain. However, University of Iowa researchers have discovered a way to turn the blood vessels surrounding brain cells into a production and delivery system for getting therapeutic molecules directly into brain cells.   view more (2009-09-22)

Computers explain why pears may become brown during commercial storage
Internal browning of pears stored under low oxygen conditions is related to restricted gas exchange inside the fruit, according to a study published March 7th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.   view more (2008-03-10)
