Metal Fibers Baked To Make Filters
In automotive catalytic converters and industrial exhaust gas filters, porous materials play a crucial role: they filter and break down hot waste gases. It is now possible to process virtually all metal alloys into fibers which can be used to make open-pored sintered materials. The requirements to... view more (2004-07-08)

Amateur singers, singing teachers less likely to identify serious vocal problems
Even as American Idol reminds us of the best (and worst) that singing has to offer, a new study cautions that amateur singers and singing instructors are less sensitive than their professional peers to the subtle changes to their voices that could have a serious negative impact on their vocal... view more (2008-04-01)

New findings from Tibetan Plateau suggest uplift occurred in stages
The vast Tibetan Plateau--the world's highest and largest plateau, bordered by the world's highest mountains--has long challenged geologists trying to understand how and when the region rose to such spectacular heights.   view more (2008-03-25)

Western states to host first test of carbon sequestration in lava rock
Below the plains of the Big Sky states, where the Columbia and Snake rivers wind their way to the Pacific, might lie a geologic answer to one of our most pressing environmental problems: too much carbon dioxide in the air.   view more (2005-11-07)

Study shows our ancestors survived 'Snowball Earth'
It has been 2.3 billion years since Earth's atmosphere became infused with enough oxygen to support life as we know it. About the same time, the planet became encased in ice that some scientists speculate was more than a half-mile deep.   view more (2006-06-07)

ASU geologists suggest Mars features are result of meteorite strikes, not of evaporated lakes
Geologic features at the Opportunity landing site on Mars were formed not by a lake that evaporated but by constant strikes from meteorites, say two Arizona State University geologists.   view more (2005-12-22)

'Sistine Chapel of the Ice Age' found at Creswell Crags
A team of researchers led by the University of Sheffield and supported by English Heritage have found eighty 13,000-year-old carvings in limestone rock of Church Hole Cave, at Creswell Crags in Nottinghamshire. The carvings are a unique find and form the most elaborate cave art ceiling in the... view more (2004-07-13)

From 2-D blueprint, material assembles into novel 3-D nanostructures
An international team of scientists affiliated with the University of Wisconsin-Madison Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center has coaxed a self-assembling material into forming never-before-seen, three-dimensional nanoscale structures, with potential applications ranging from catalysis and... view more (2006-01-30)

What Happened on Easter Island? @ the London `Catastrophes` conference
Easter Island is exceptionally isolated in the South Pacific. When Europeans first visited the island in 1722 AD, they found a population of about 4000 Polynesians scratching a living among what appeared to be the ruins of a collapsed civilization. Stone figures weighing up to 80 tonnes littered... view more (2002-08-17)

Moon and Earth Formed out of Identical Material
According to the «Giant Impact» theory the moon was formed by a collision between a proto-earth and a smaller planet. In the October 12 issue of Science, ETH researchers present results showing that the composition of the oxygen isotopes of the moon and the earth are identical. This is a strong... view more (2001-10-11)

Insect predation sheds light on food web recovery after the dinosaur extinction

Phoenix mission to Mars will search for climate clues
On May 25, 2008, approaching 5 p.m. PDT, NASA scientists will be wondering: Just how green is their valley? That's because at that time the Phoenix Mars Mission space vehicle will be touching down on its three legs to make a soft landing onto the northern Mars terrain called Green Valley.    view more (2008-05-23)

How Did Continents Split? Geology Study Shows New Picture

A New Method For Assessing Neurological Development Of Fetuses? (p 779)
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET outlines how light-emitting technology could help in the future assessment of fetal neurological development. There have been only a few studies of visual-evoked response in human fetuses, and all have focused on general changes such as heart... view more (2002-09-04)

Microbes under Greenland Ice may be preview of what scientists find under Mars' surface
A University of California, Berkeley, study of methane-producing bacteria frozen at the bottom of Greenland's two-mile thick ice sheet could help guide scientists searching for similar bacterial life on Mars.   view more (2005-12-15)
