ESA to search for life, but not as we know it
This week, astrobiologists are discussing what ESA`s Huygens spaceprobe might discover when it parachutes to the surface of Saturn`s mysterious moon, Titan, in 2005. Titan possesses a rich atmosphere of organic molecules, which Huygens will analyse. Recently some scientists have begun to think that, by redefining life, in broader terms, what we... view more...

Supernova remnant menagerie
The supernova remnant N 63A is a member of N 63, a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Visible from the southern hemisphere, the LMC is an irregular galaxy lying 160,000 light-years from our own Milky Way galaxy. view more (2005-06-07)
Making adhesives safer
The greatest disaster in the history of the chemical industry brought notorious fame to the city of Bhopal in India in 1984, as well as making known the extreme toxicity of the chemical involved, methyl isocyanate. Although the isocyanate group is known to be extremely reactive, it is precisely this property that makes it so useful to the chemical... view more... (2001-10-04)
ESA steps towards a great black hole census
Astronomers using ESA's orbiting gamma-ray observatory, Integral, have taken an important step towards estimating how many black holes there are in the Universe. view more (2006-09-08)
Biodiesel could reduce greenhouse gas emissions
A CSIRO report released today confirms that using pure biodiesel or blending biodiesel with standard fuel could reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector. view more (2007-11-28)
Astronomers detect matter torn apart by black hole
Astronomers have used two different telescopes simultaneously to study the violent flares from the supermassive black hole in the centre of the Milky Way. They have detected outbursts from this region, known as Sagittarius A*, which reveal material being stretched out as it orbits in the intense gravity close to the central black hole. view more (2008-11-19)
Spring agricultural fires have large impact on melting Arctic
Scientists from around the world will convene at the University of New Hampshire June 2-5, 2009, to discuss key findings from the most ambitious effort ever undertaken to measure "short-lived" airborne pollutants in the Arctic and determine how they contribute in the near term to the dramatic changes underway in the vast,... view more...

JILA solves problem of quantum dot 'blinking'
Quantum dots-tiny, intense, tunable sources of colorful light-are illuminating new opportunities in biomedical research, cryptography and other fields. But these semiconductor nanocrystals also have a secret problem, a kind of nervous tic. They mysteriously tend to "blink" on and off like Christmas tree lights, which can reduce their... view more...

Study shows that targeted antibiotics lead to prolonged improvement in IBS symptoms
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center have found that a nonabsorbable antibiotic - one that stays in the gut - can be an effective long-term treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a disease affecting more than 20 percent of Americans. view more (2006-10-17)
Nature press release for 5 April issue
[410701] LIFELINES: HOPE STEMS FOR A BROKEN HEART (pp701-705; N&V) Stem cells from mouse bone marrow can help repair muscle killed in heart attacks, Piero Anversa and his team at New York Medical College, New York, and colleagues, show in this week’s Nature. The results are likely to raise the already high profile of adult stem cells as a... view more... (2001-04-05)
`Quiet` star wasn`t quiet after all, say astronomers
For more than two years the star was `quiet`. Or so astronomers thought. But the X-ray pulsar EXO 2030+375 was abuzz with activity. Scientists simply lacked the ability to `hear` it over the hum of a nearby black hole. Now a study by scientists at the University of Southampton, the National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) in... view more... (2002-07-10)
Unusual microbial ropes grow slowly in cave lake
Deep inside the Frasassi cave system in Italy and more than 1,600 feet below the Earth's surface, divers found filamentous ropes of microbes growing in the cold water, according to a team of Penn State researchers. view more (2008-12-22)
North Pole's ancient past holds lessons for future global warming
Detailed information on greenhouse gasses and a subtropical heat wave at the North Pole 55 million years ago is providing information about the Earth's past as well as a portent for its future, according to reports in the June 1 issue of Nature. view more (2006-06-01)
Remote expertise for wastewater treatment
Getting expertise where it is needed in wastewater treatment is the goal of TELEMAC, which has developed remote, and local monitoring and control solutions so industries can obtain all the benefits of anaerobic waste treatment while minimising costs and complications. view more (2004-09-27)
