How to distinguish between battery and free-range eggs - without visiting the farm
Scientists have developed a method of determining whether eggs labelled as 'free-range' or 'barn' have in fact been laid under battery conditions. The procedure, published in Journal of the Science of Food & Agriculture this month, means eggs can be tested without the need to visit farms. view more (2005-03-31)
Household cleaners effectively remove lead-laden dust
All-purpose detergents remove lead-contaminated dust from household surfaces just as effectively as high phosphate detergents and lead-specific cleaning products. view more (2005-12-16)

New research shows that bacteria lurking in household dust produce chemicals that may trigger asthma and asthma-related symptoms such as wheezing. view more (2005-09-07)
'Ultra-primitive' particles found in comet dust
Dust samples collected by high-flying aircraft in the upper atmosphere have yielded an unexpectedly rich trove of relicts from the ancient cosmos, report scientists from the Carnegie Institution. view more (2009-11-03)
Lotus Plant-Inspired Dust-Busting Shield to Protect Space Gear
A plant that lives along muddy waterways in Asia has inspired a NASA team to develop a special coating to prevent dirt and even bacteria from sticking to and contaminating the surfaces of spaceflight gear. view more (2009-09-24)
Impact landing ends SMART-1 mission to the Moon
ESA PR 31-2006. Early this morning, a small flash illuminated the surface of the Moon as the European Space Agency's SMART-1 spacecraft impacted onto the lunar soil, in the 'Lake of Excellence' region. view more (2006-09-05)
Electric sand findings could lead to better climate models
Wind isn't acting alone in the geological process behind erosion, sand dunes and airborne dust particles called aerosols. view more (2008-01-08)
Sticky dust fingers the culprits
EMBARGOED UNTIL WEDNESDAY 5 NOVEMBER 19:00 HRS GMT NANOPARTICLES could give police the clearest fingerprints yet. Officers search for prints by dusting a crime scene with fluorescent powder. This sticks to the oily residue left by the fingertip, showing up the whorls and ridges. But sometimes the prints are not clear enough to finger a suspect.... view more... (2003-11-05)
Dust clouds in cosmic cycle
It has been a mystery for astronomers how certain dying stars have their colossal quantities of material blown out into the universe and shrink into objects called "white dwarves". view more (2007-04-05)
'It might be life, Jim...', physicists discover inorganic dust with lifelike qualities
Could extraterrestrial life be made of corkscrew-shaped particles of interstellar dust? Intriguing new evidence of life-like structures that form from inorganic substances in space are revealed today in the New Journal of Physics. view more (2007-08-15)
Desert dust alters ecology of Colorado alpine meadows
Accelerated snowmelt--precipitated by desert dust blowing into the mountains--changes how alpine plants respond to seasonal climate cues that regulate their life cycles. view more (2009-06-30)
Texas A&M prof to predict weather on Mars
Is there such a thing as "weather" on Mars? There are some doubts, considering the planet's atmosphere is only 1 percent as dense as that of the Earth. view more (2009-11-05)
Highly sensitive weather radar a gain for climate research
TU Delft has taken a new weather radar system into use, the 'Drizzle Radar', which can observe even the lightest of drizzles. This is an enormous gain for climate researchers and is attracting international attention. view more (2007-08-27)
New focus on the moon
NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) has taken and received its first images of the Moon, kicking off the year-long mapping mission of Earth's nearest celestial neighbor. view more (2009-07-06)

Solar Games at Paranal
Cerro Paranal, home of ESO's Very Large Telescope, is certainly one of the best astronomical sites on the planet. Stunning images, obtained by ESO staff at Paranal, of the green and blue flashes, as well as of the so-called 'Gegenschein', are real cases in point. view more (2008-05-05)
Cold Dust At The Heart Of TheUniverse
The Universe contains vast quantities of very cold dust and gas; from the relatively dense regions where young stars are born to the most distant galaxies, still in the process of forming after the Big Bang. The new SCUBA instrument, conceived, designed and built at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh and installed on the James Clerk Maxwell... view more... (1996-06-28)
Hubble zooms in on heart of mystery comet
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has probed the bright core of Comet 17P/Holmes which, to the delight of sky watchers, mysteriously brightened by nearly a million-fold in a 24-hour period beginning October 23, 2007. view more (2007-11-15)
Ice has a starring role - CMD19/CMMP with The Physics Congress 2002
When even moderately hot stars like our Sun have surface temperatures of around 6,000°C, it is hard to imagine that ice plays an important part in their formation. But that`s exactly what astrophysicists have recently discovered by turning to surface scientists for help. At the Condensed Matter conference on Monday 8 April, part of the... view more...
