Future of Western Water Supply Threatened by Climate Change, Says New CU-Boulder Study
As the West warms, a drier Colorado River system could see as much as a one-in-two chance of fully depleting all of its reservoir storage by mid-century assuming current management practices continue on course, according to a new University of Colorado at Boulder study. view more (2009-07-21)
Melting of the Greenland ice cap may have consequences for climatic change
According to two international-research studies on the last ice age, studies with the participation of Dr Rainer Zahn, research professor in the ICREA at the UAB Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA), before the great ice sheets of the Arctic Ocean began to melt, early sporadic episodes of melting of the old ice sheet which... view more...

NASA Balloon Mission Tunes in to a Cosmic Radio Mystery
Listening to the early universe just got harder. A team led by Alan Kogut of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., today announced the discovery of cosmic radio noise that booms six times louder than expected. view more (2009-01-08)
NASA's Deep Impact Craft Observes Major Comet 'Outburst'
NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft observed a massive, short-lived outburst of ice or other particles from comet Tempel 1 that temporarily expanded the size and reflectivity of the cloud of dust and gas (coma) that surrounds the comet nucleus. view more (2005-06-29)
MAGIC discovers variable very high energy gamma-ray emission from a microquasar
In a recent issue of Science Magazine, the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray ImagingCherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope has reported the discovery of variable very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from a microquasar. view more (2006-05-19)
High-value chemicals produced from ethanol feedstocks could boost biorefinery economics
Biorefineries developed to produce ethanol from cellulose sources such as trees and fast-growing plants could get a significant economic boost from the sale of high-value chemicals - such as vanillin flavoring - that could be generated from the same feedstock. view more (2006-09-11)
Infrared Halo Frames a Newborn Star
Observations with the VLT of a star-forming cloud have revealed, for the first time, a ring of infrared light around a nascent star. The images also show the presence of jets that emanate from the young object and collide with the surrounding cloud. The full text of this Press Release, with the photo (ESO PR Photo 26a/03) and all related links, is... view more... (2003-08-28)
Melatonin Most Effective For Sleep When Taken For Off-Hour Sleeping
Researchers from the Divisions of Sleep Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School have found in a double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study, that melatonin, taken orally during non-typical sleep times, significantly improves an individual's ability to sleep. view more (2006-05-01)
Research Councils unveil a vision for research
The grand challenges for the future in UK research and the benefits that will come from them is the focus of the Research Councils UK report 'A Vision for Research', published this week. From discovering what the universe is made of to advances in the philosophy of language, the report sets out key areas for research over the next ten to twenty... view more... (2003-12-12)

Study identifies food-related clock in the brain
In investigating the intricacies of the body's biological rhythms, scientists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) have discovered the existence of a "food-related clock" which can supersede the "light-based" master clock that serves as the body's primary timekeeper. view more (2008-05-23)
Prehistoric Decline of Freshwater Mussels Tied to Rise in Maize Cultivation
USDA Forest Service (FS) research suggests that a decline in the abundance of freshwater mussels about 1000 years ago may have been caused by the large-scale cultivation of maize by Native Americans. view more (2005-06-08)
Is susceptibility to hallucinations a normal part of childhood?
Research reported today, Saturday 4 September 2004, at the British Psychological Society's Developmental Section Conference at Leeds Metropolitan University suggests that not only are pre-school children susceptible to hallucinations, but that such susceptibility may be a normal aspect of early child development. view more (2004-08-24)
Leading European Research Organisations Join Forces in EIROFORUM
Since the early 1950s, a number of powerful research infrastructures and laboratories which are used by an extensive network of scientists have been developed and deployed within Europe by European Intergovernmental Research Organisations (EIRO). Together, they represent European spearheads in some of the most crucial basic and applied research... view more... (2001-05-21)
Too little scope for development in today's aircraft technology
New technology can do much to improve certain aspects of aviation in terms of sustainable development over the next fifty years, but this will be nowhere near enough to compensate for the expected growth in air travel. view more (2007-06-27)
