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)
New brake components for specialised vehicles
A team of researchers from the Industrial Design Group at the Public University of Navarre, led by Paulino Mart'nez Landa, lecturer in the field of Engineering Projects, is currently working on the adaptation of braking systems used in automobile vehicles for application in special vehicles such as mechanical diggers, fork lift trucks,... view more...

New steroid test uses oil exploration technique
It's a technique that has previously been used for oil exploration - now researchers at The University of Nottingham have developed a new, highly sensitive, anti-doping steroid test using hydropyrolysis. view more (2008-03-05)
Pioneering food safety techniques in Europe
A novel method of genetic fingerprinting, analysed and tested by more than 200 European laboratories, has been developed in conjunction with the Gaiker Technological Centre and enables the avoidance of fraud, thus guaranteeing safe foods for the consumer. For their brand products the Eroski Group has developed and introduced a series of Food... view more... (2003-11-04)
Exploding Bubbles Detected by Laser Light
A revolutionary way of detecting the potentially dangerous gas bubbles in bore-holes that can lead to large explosions, is reported today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. The new technique, developed by researchers at the University of Reading, could save the oil exploration industry millions of pounds by... view more... (2000-05-30)

Curbing coal emissions alone might avert climate danger, say researchers
An ongoing rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide from burning of fossil fuels might be kept below harmful levels if emissions from coal are phased out within the next few decades, say researchers. view more (2008-09-15)
Geoscientists track down the key to massive energy stocks
Geologists in Durham, geochemists in Newcastle and engineers at Heriot-Watt are working in a multi-disciplinary team to solve the problem of overpressure which is a major challenge to drilling, particularly in many new deep-water areas, where large reserves are located. The problem is becoming urgent, since demand may outstrip current supplies... view more... (1998-09-04)
ESC Congress 2004: Fishy stuff or a real cure? - Contrary to popular belief, a Danish study now suggests that consumption of fish does not prevent atrial fibrillation
Danish scientists from the University Hospital in Aarhus have carried out a study that questions the effect of consuming n-3 fatty acids from fish on the prevention of atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation is an irregularity of the heart rhythm that - if left untreated - may lead to stroke and death. Atrial fibrillation is most often treated... view more... (2004-08-31)
Wet ethanol production process yields more ethanol and more co-products
Using a wet ethanol production method that begins by soaking corn kernels rather than grinding them, results in more gallons of ethanol and more usable co-products, giving ethanol producers a bigger bang for their buck - by about 20 percent. view more (2009-11-10)
Human influences challenge penguin populations
The ecology of penguins makes these iconic swimming and diving seabirds of the Southern Hemisphere unusually susceptible to environmental changes. view more (2008-07-01)
New process offers slick solution to tyre waste
With fossil fuels running out, the oil and gas tied up in the millions of waste tyres discarded each year has been targeted as a possible fuel source for decades. Tyres can yield up to 60% of their weight as fuel oil, but the relatively low price of refined crude means it makes little economic sense to use tyre-derived products. Dr Williams... view more...
