Cold storage solution for global warming?
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the British Geological Society (BGS) have proposed storing CO2 in huge underground reservoirs as a way of reducing emissions- and have even identified sites in Western Europe that would be suitable.   view more (2007-02-07)

Asphalt flows from deep-sea volcanoes
New kind of volcano discovered in the Gulf of Mexico Underwater volcanoes that spew asphalt instead of lava: they were discovered in the Gulf of Mexico during an expedition of the research vessel SONNE, led by Prof. Gerhard Bohrmann of the DFG Research Center Ocean Margins. On these volcanoes the... view more (2004-05-17)

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have made semiconductor light-emitting diodes (LEDs) more than seven times brighter by etching nanoscale grooves in a surrounding cavity to guide scattered light in one direction.   view more (2006-07-24)

NIST method may help optimize light-emitting semiconductors
Physicists at JILA have demonstrated an ultrafast laser technique for "seeing" once-hidden electronic behavior in semiconductors, which eventually could be useful in more predictable design of optoelectronic devices, including semiconductor lasers and white light-emitting diodes.   view more (2006-02-17)

Climate change and permafrost thaw alter greenhouse gas emissions in northern wetlands
Permafrost - the perpetually frozen foundation of North America - isn't so permanent anymore, and scientists are scrambling to understand the pros and cons when terra firma goes soft.   view more (2007-08-10)

Ancient Oak Trees Help Reduce Global Warming, MU Study Finds
The battle to reduce carbon emissions is at the heart of many eco-friendly efforts, and researchers from the University of Missouri have discovered that nature has been lending a hand.

Gassed by gannets!
This is one of the subjects being investigated in the GANE (Global Atmospheric Nitrogen Enrichment) research initiative funded by NERC. The first meeting of the principal investigators will be on Thursday, 9th March, when they will share information on progress of the various projects that form the... view more (2000-03-08)

Air pollution from ships - a serious threat
Emissions from ships may bring as much nitrogen oxide to the atmosphere as the total amount of emissions coming from the USA. International shipping along the Norwegian coast and in the Northern Atlantic Ocean contributes largely to the formation of ground-level ozone and acidification of the... view more (2004-03-30)

Television just got brighter: UCLA engineers are obsessed with the next generation of LEDs
Two researchers at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science want to make sure future generations of plasma TV watchers will see games like the upcoming NBA Finals in the brightest, most beautiful color possible - for a lot less money.   view more (2007-05-17)

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... view more (2002-09-19)

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... view more (2001-10-04)

ESA steps towards a great black hole census

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... view more (2008-11-19)

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... view more (2008-01-24)

'Nano skins' show promise as flexible electronic devices
A team of researchers has developed a new process to make flexible, conducting 'nano skins' for a variety of applications, from electronic paper to sensors for detecting chemical and biological agents.   view more (2006-03-02)

[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... 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... view more (2002-07-10)
