Low sperm count linked to organic solvents
Men repeatedly exposed to organic solvents are over twice as likely to have a low sperm count, reports a study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. The higher the level of exposure the greater was the risk, with professional printers and painters and decorators most at risk, the study shows. The research team focused on over 1200 manual... view more... (2001-09-07)
Model for the assembly of advanced, single-molecule-based electronic components developed at Pitt
Researchers based at the University of Pittsburgh have created the best method so far of assembling wire-like structures only a single molecule wide, a significant step in science's increasing attempts to reduce the circuitry size of electronic devices to the single molecule scale and provide smaller, faster, and more energy efficient electronics. view more (2007-09-27)
Researchers study role of natural organic matter in environment
The decomposition of plant, animal and microbial material in soil and water produces a variety of complex organic molecules, collectively called natural organic matter. These compounds play many important roles in the environment. view more (2006-12-12)
new structural view of organic electronic devices
Although still in the qualifying rounds, U.S. researchers are helping manufacturers win the race to develop low-cost ways to commercialize a multitude of products based on inexpensive organic electronic materials-from large solar-power arrays to electronic newspapers that can be bent and folded. view more (2005-09-13)
New optic fibre sensors capable of detecting organic compounds
This new research is presented in the Navarre chemist, Mar'a Asunci'³n Luquin's PhD, "Synthesis and characterisation of de vapochromic substances for their implementation in optic fibre environmental sensors". The PhD has been presented in Public University of Navarre. view more (2004-10-26)
Milk cures plant disease
Research at Harper Adams University College has shown how spraying wheat plants with milk can help to cure mildew disease. South American research showed four years ago that milk could help in the fight against mildew disease on squash plants, and milk is used to treat this disease by some organic gardeners, as well as by grape vine growers in... view more...

Understanding Phosphorus in Soils Is Vital to Proper Management
Phosphorus is one of the key nutrients that can cause algal blooms and related water quality problems in lakes, rivers, and estuaries worldwide. view more (2009-02-05)
Prairie soil organic matter shown to be resilient under intensive agriculture
A recent study has confirmed that although there was a large reduction of organic carbon and total nitrogen pools when prairies were first cultivated and drained, there has been no consistent pattern in these organic matter pools during the period of synthetic fertilizer use, that is, from 1957-2002. view more (2009-01-16)
Scientists expand understanding of how river carbon impacts the Arctic Ocean
Arctic rivers transport huge quantities of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to the Arctic Ocean. The prevailing paradigm regarding DOC in arctic rivers is that it is largely refractory, making it of little significance for the biogeochemistry of the Arctic Ocean. view more (2008-02-13)
Sewage Sludge Digestion: Less sewage residues, more energy
On behalf of the Abwasserzweckverband Heidelberg (Association for Sewage), the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology (IGB) in April of last year added a high-rate stage to the Heidelberg municipal sewage plant. The aim was to increase the economy of the digestion without putting the disposal line out of operation. The... view more... (2002-08-30)
`Nature` highlights use of satellite imagery to study massive CO2 release in Indonesian fires
Writing in tomorrow’s issue of Nature magazine, a team of European and Indonesian scientists used satellite imagery from ESA’s ERS and NASA’s Landsat satellites to help measure the huge amounts of carbon dioxide gas released into the atmosphere by 1997-98 fires in the tropical bush of Indonesia. A series of peatland and forest... view more... (2002-11-06)
ADE-ADE-BIOTEC present their first on-site plant for the treatment of pig purines
The novelty of the system lies in the possibility of having an on-site installation at the farm itself, thus avoiding the transport of the purines to other, off-site plants for their treatment. view more (2004-12-09)
Organic electronics a two-way street, thanks to new plastic semiconductor
Plastic that conducts electricity holds promise for cheaper, thinner and more flexible electronics. This technology is already available in some gadgets -- the new Sony walkman that was introduced earlier this summer and the Microsoft Zune HD music player released last week both incorporate organic light-emitting electronic displays. view more (2009-08-18)
Directed self-ordering of organic molecules for electronic devices
A simple surface treatment technique demonstrated by a collaboration between researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Penn State and the University of Kentucky potentially offers a low-cost way to mass produce large arrays of organic electronic transistors on polymer sheets for a wide range of applications... view more...

Geoscientists follow arsenic from chicken feed to streambeds
Organic arsenic is fed to poultry to prevent bacterial infections and improve weight gain. A little bit of arsenic is taken up by the tissue and the majority of it is excreted in urine. view more (2005-10-12)
Poorer farmers benefit most from organic practices
Farmers in developing countries are reaping the benefits of adopting 'green' agricultural practices far more than their western counterparts, suggests a report published today, Thursday 14 February 2002. The report by Nicolas Parrott at Cardiff University's Department of City and Regional Planning will be launched by German Agriculture and... view more... (2002-02-12)
New reagent delivers a chemical breakthrough at FSU
"Build a better mousetrap," the saying goes, "and the world will beat a path to your door." In the complex field of organic chemistry, that path leads to Florida State University, where a newly developed substance could make the jobs of scientists throughout the world a little easier as they work to develop new drugs and other... view more...

Kari Saikkonen Appointed Research Professor of Ecologic Plant Production
The General Directorate of MTT Agrifood Research Finland has appointed Academy Research Fellow Ph.D. Kari Saikkonen as temporary Research Professor of Ecologic Plant Production from June 1, 2005 on. The professorship is jointly awarded with the University of Helsinki and it is located in Mikkeli. The temporary professorship can be continued until... view more... (2005-05-24)
Hankering for molecular electronics? Grab the new NIST sandwich
The sandwich recipe recently concocted by scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) may prove tasty for computer chip designers, who have long had an appetite for molecule-sized electronic components - but no clear way to satisfy it until now. view more (2009-08-27)
Organic weed control options for highbush blueberry
Research scientists at Nova Scotia Agricultural College have been working steadily to find effective organic methods to control weeds in cultivated blueberry crops. view more (2009-11-05)
