Building blocks of life formed on Mars
Organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen and form the building blocks of all life on Earth. By analyzing organic material and minerals in the Martian meteorite Allan Hills 84001, scientists at the Carnegie Institution's Geophysical Laboratory have shown for the first time that building blocks... view more (2007-12-12)

No oxygen in Eastern Mediterranean bottom-water
Research from Utrecht University shows that there is an organic-rich bed of sediment in the floor of the Eastern Mediterranean. This bed formed over a period of about 4000 years under oxygen-free bottom-water conditions.   view more (2008-09-29)

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 & Biomolecular Chemistry
From January 2003 the Royal Society of Chemistry is merging J Chem Soc Perkin Transactions 1 & 2 to form: Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry.   view more (2002-07-24)

Arsenic discharged from landfills, says Dartmouth research
A group of researchers at Dartmouth have studied the concentrations of toxic metals at the former Coakley Landfill in North Hampton, N.H. They've found that while the level of iron and some other contaminants decreased, the level of arsenic slightly increased.   view more (2005-12-05)

Heart problem: York academics study cardiac rehab shortfall
Researchers at the University of York are trying to discover why so many heart attack victims in the UK fail to take part in potentially life-saving cardiac rehabilitation.   view more (2005-02-24)

Organic farming better for wildlife
A joint English Nature and RSPB scientific review comparing evidence about wildlife on organic and equivalent non-organic farms has concluded that organic farms are better for wildlife.   view more (2004-10-05)

Early Earth haze may have spurred life, says University of Colorado study
Hazy skies on early Earth could have provided a substantial source of organic material useful for emerging life on the planet.   view more (2006-11-07)

GENE TRANSFER FROM GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS
The report, which is based on a desk study of a substantial quantity of previously published research in related areas, considers all the routes by which the mixing of organic and genetically modified crops may occur, including pollen transfer and the growth of volunteers. It concludes that no... view more (1999-06-17)

`Glowing` technique could detect river pollution
New technology used to analyse dissolved organic matter in river water could also help scientists detect and monitor pollution, according to a new research published in the journal Hydrological Processes (1). Dissolved organic matter is found in all river water, and can come from both a natural... view more (2002-10-07)

New materials for high efficiency organic solid state lighting
A new organic molecule developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory scientists may significantly improve the efficiency of organic solid state lighting. Direct conversion of electricity to light in "solid state" thin films of organic molecules occurs in organic light emitting... view more (2006-03-30)

Arctic soil reveals climate change clues
Frozen arctic soil contains nearly twice the greenhouse-gas-producing organic material as was previously estimated, according to recently published research by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists.   view more (2008-10-08)

Scientists design a tool for detection of rogue molecules “on the run”
A research group of the Microtechnology Centre at Chalmers, MC2, at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, has developed an ultra-sensitive device for detecting the presence of organic molecules present in space. Organic material as far away from us as many thousands of light... view more (2002-04-16)

Meteorites discovered to carry interstellar carbon
Like an interplanetary spaceship carrying passengers, meteorites have long been suspected of ferrying relatively young ingredients of life to our planet.   view more (2006-05-05)

The inside dope
Often, things can be improved by a little 'contamination.' Steel, for example is iron with a bit of carbon mixed in. To produce materials for modern electronics, small amounts of impurities are introduced into silicon - a process called doping.   view more (2007-07-27)

Saharan dust storms sustain life in Atlantic Ocean
Research at the University of Liverpool has found how Saharan dust storms help sustain life over extensive regions of the North Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2008-07-21)

Organic nitrogen gives new clue to biodiversity
Scientists have found that organic nitrogen is more important for plant growth than previously thought and could contribute to maintaining diversity in grasslands.   view more (2006-04-12)

Oxygen trick could see organic costs tumble
A simple, cheap treatment using just oxygen could allow growers to store organic produce for longer and go a long way towards reducing the price of organic fruit and vegetables.   view more (2007-06-11)

Plastic electronics for light diodes and prostheses
Is it possible to make components out of organic polymers (plastics) whose structure is such that severed nerves can grow right into them and connect with electrodes in a prosthetic hand, for example? This is one of the research fields for Tobias Nyberg at the Section for Biomolecular and Organic... view more (2002-04-29)

Launch of Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry announced
The prestigious Beilstein-Institut today announced the launch of the first major Open Access journal for organic chemistry. Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry will be published by the Beilstein-Institut in co-operation with BioMed Central, the Open Access publisher. The peer-reviewed online... view more (2005-03-11)

Ceramic material revs up microwaving
Quicker microwave meals that use less energy may soon be possible with new ceramic microwave dishes and, according to the material scientists responsible, this same material could help with organic waste remediation.   view more (2008-08-29)

New organic substrate
The wood shavings from sawmills can be used to produce an organic substrate for use in intensive crop growth in containers.   view more (2006-03-06)

Organic Focus for Farm Walks Series
Details of the walks are as follows:   view more (1998-07-17)

Organic corn: Increasing rotation complexity increases yields
While demand for organic meat and milk is increasing by about 20% per year in the United States, almost all organic grain and forage to support these industries in the mid-Atlantic region is imported from other regions. To meet this demand locally, area farmers need information on expected crop... view more (2008-05-29)

Improved Method for Separation of Organic Isomers
Researchers in Oxford University's Department of Inorganic Chemistry have devised a novel method for separating polar organic compounds, providing a useful alternative to the usual methods of chromatography or crystallisation. The separation of mixtures of organic and inorganic compounds is of... view more (2003-02-11)
