An international team of scientists has cracked the problem of pod shatter in brassica crops such as oilseed rape. view more (2009-05-28)
Iowa State researchers convert farm waste to bio-oil
Samy Sadaka reached into a garbage bag, picked up a mixture of cow manure and corn stalks, let it run through his fingers and invited a visitor to do the same. view more (2006-07-31)
Scientists tackle international environmental problem - ballast water
A new research project aims to tackle a huge environmental problem which costs the worldwide economy billions of pounds each year and which scientists say is worse than an oil slick. view more (2001-11-22)
Grandma was right - cod liver oil is good for you!
In inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, the presence of unusual fatty acids, Omega or n-3 fatty acids, (that are uniquely present in fish oils but not other oils common in the diet) in the cartilage cells reduces the activity of specific enzymes (Proteolytic or aggrecanase enzymes) that are responsible for cartilage damage. view more (2000-01-12)
Lorenzo's oil shows promise in reducing risk of debilitating disease in genetic disorder
Treatment of boys with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) with Lorenzo's oil (LO) reduced their risk of developing the severe debilitating form of the disease, according to a study in the July issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2005-07-12)
Refined Petrol Stations
There are always oil spots near the petrol stations. Rainwater washes them away, polluting the environment. Researchers from Perm have developed a refining unit for cleaning rainwater sewage from petrol stations. It was successfully tested in Moscow and Perm. The unit base is a new filter - "Kombi" - made of fibrous carbon sorbent, which is... view more... (2002-02-19)
Ozone depletes oil seed rape productivity
High ozone conditions cause a 30% decrease in yield and an increase in the concentration of a group of toxic compounds within oilseed rape plants. view more (2009-06-29)
MIT creates new oil-repelling material
MIT engineers have designed the first simple process for manufacturing materials that strongly repel oils. The material, which can be applied as a flexible surface coating, could have applications in aviation, space travel and hazardous waste cleanup. view more (2007-12-07)
Paleozoic 'sediment curve' provides new tool for tracking sea-floor sediment movements
As the world looks for more energy, the oil industry will need more refined tools for discoveries in places where searches have never before taken place, geologists say. view more (2008-10-03)
Tiny bubbles clean oil from water
Small amounts of oil leave a fluorescent sheen on polluted water. Oil sheen is hard to remove, even when the water is aerated with ozone or filtered through sand. view more (2009-11-16)
Paint-on semiconductor outperforms chips
Researchers at the University of Toronto have created a semiconductor device that outperforms today's conventional chips — and they made it simply by painting a liquid onto a piece of glass. view more (2006-07-13)
Prolonged respiratory problems for oil spill clean-up volunteers
Workers and volunteers who helped in the clean-up effort after the 2002 Prestige oil spill off the Galician coast of Spain exhibit prolonged respiratory symptoms resulting from their exposure. view more (2007-09-14)
Smoke From Cigarettes, Cooking Oil, Wood, Shift Male Cardiovascular System Into Overdrive
Secondhand tobacco smoke and smoke from cooking oil and wood smoke affected cardiovascular function of men and women who were exposed to small doses of the smoke for as little as 10 minutes, according to a study from the University of Kentucky. view more (2009-04-17)
MSU researcher finds renewed interest in turning algae into fuel
The same brown algae that cover rocks and cause anglers to slip while fly fishing contain oil that can be turned into diesel fuel, says a Montana State University microbiologist. view more (2008-01-16)
Biochemists manipulate fruit flavor enzymes
Would you like a lemony watermelon? How about a strawberry-flavored banana? Biochemists at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston say the day may be coming when scientists will be able to fine tune enzymes responsible for flavors in fruits and vegetables. In addition, it could lead to environmentally-friendly pest control. view more (2008-08-21)
An herbal extract inhibits the development of pancreatic cancer
An herb recently found to kill pancreatic cancer cells also appears to inhibit development of pancreatic cancer as a result of its anti-inflammatory properties, according to researchers from the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson. view more (2009-04-20)
Researchers Hail Innovative Plan to Save Rainforest, Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
An innovative proposal by the Ecuadorian government to protect an untouched, oil rich region of Amazon rainforest is a precedent-setting and potentially economically viable approach, says a team of environmental researchers from the University of Maryland, the World Resources Institute and Save America's Forests. view more (2009-11-06)
NASA study illustrates how global peak oil could impact climate
The burning of fossil fuels -- notably coal, oil and gas -- has accounted for about 80 percent of the rise of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the pre-industrial era. Now, NASA researchers have identified feasible emission scenarios that could keep carbon dioxide below levels that some scientists have called dangerous for climate. view more (2008-09-11)
Cornell Research is Key - New Company Promises to Detoxify Pollutants with Plant Biologicals
A company formed as a spin-off from research conducted at Cornell University, the University of Surrey and the University of Naples, Italy, will provide biological systems that detoxify heavily contaminated soil and water. "Our goal is to develop biological products with broad capabilities for the detoxification of polluted soils or sediments... view more... (2003-04-30)
Unique study shows oil, gas seismic work not affecting Gulf sperm whales
Noise can be irritating and possibly harmful for everything from mice to humans - and maybe even 60-foot whales in the Gulf of Mexico. view more (2008-08-22)
