UAB Scientists break the hard drive miniaturisation limit
Magnetic memory-based information storage systems are getting smaller and smaller, while their capacities are getting larger. However, there is a limit to how small they can get. If the tiny magnets used to store information are smaller than around five nanometres (millionths of a millimetre),... view more (2003-07-10)

Opening Atlantic Leaves Scots Isle Platinum Rich
The Platinum Group Elements (PGEs) are contained in mineral grains from the Rum Layered Intrusion, which represents the eroded roots of a once large volcano. They were formed deep in the crust as a plume of molten rock pushed up from deep within the Earth, causing huge volcanic eruptions, as well... view more (1999-02-08)

Mount Cameroon: a natural laboratory for reconstructing soil history
The mechanisms behind rock-weathering processes can provide vital clues for understanding and reconstructing the history of ancient environments and visualizing the physical conditions in which they were formed, especially climatic situations. Thick ancient coverings of weathered material such as... view more (2004-10-21)

EARLY HOMINOIDS MAY HAVE SUFFERED DEATH BY VOLCANO
Geological re-evaluation of deposits in which fossils of the human precursor Proconsul have long been found suggests that they lived in a semi-arid environment close to a then-active volcano (Kisingiri). Moreover the abundant hominoid fossils may represent "death assemblages" - whole populations... view more (1999-04-28)
