Landfill mining reduces environmental impact of growing waste
Retrieving material for composting from open dumps across the developing world could reduce the environmental impact of growing mountains of waste, according to researchers in India, writing today in the Inderscience publication, International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management. view more (2007-09-19)
EUROCORES conference gives cold quantum matter a European twist
Quantum matter has long fascinated the science community as many completely new physical phenomena have emerged from this field. Cold quantum matter can be used for applications such as high-precision clocks, which may run only one second behind per three million years! view more (2008-05-06)
2 oxygenation events in ancient oceans sparked spread of complex life
The rise of oxygen and the oxidation of deep oceans between 635 and 551 million years ago may have had an impact on the increase and spread of the earliest complex life, including animals. view more (2008-02-26)
Organic milk is cream of the crop
A new study by Newcastle University proves that organic farmers who let their cows graze as nature intended are producing better quality milk. view more (2008-05-28)
New study confirms the ecological virtues of organic farming
Organic farming has long been touted as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional agriculture. view more (2006-03-07)
Unusually stable glasses may benefit drugs, coatings
Just spray and chill. That sums up a new approach to making remarkably stable glassy materials from organic (carbon-containing) molecules that could lead to novel coatings and to improvements in drug delivery. view more (2006-12-11)
Carnegie Mellon scientists offer explanation for 'face blindness'
For the first time, scientists have been able to map the disruption in neural circuitry of people suffering from congenital prosopagnosia, sometimes known as face blindness, and have been able to offer a biological explanation for this intriguing disorder. view more (2008-11-26)
Cornell researchers develop virus-size 'nanolamps' that could aid use of flexible electronic devices as sensors
To help light up the nanoworld, a Cornell interdisciplinary team of researchers has produced microscopic "nanolamps" — light-emitting nanofibers about the size of a virus or the tiniest of bacteria. view more (2007-04-12)
Precise picture of early Universe supports 'dark matter' theory
A detailed picture of the seeds of structures in the universe has been unveiled by an international team co-led by a Cardiff University scientist. view more (2009-11-03)
What is time?
The concept of time is self-evident. An hour consists of a certain number of minutes, a day of hours and a year of days. But we rarely think about the fundamental nature of time. view more (2005-04-13)
Diffusion Tensor Imaging Allows Radiologists to See Areas of the Brain Rarely Seen Using Other Imaging Modalities
Radiologists are now able to look at parts of the brain using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) that are rarely visible with any other imaging method, according to a study performed at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA.

Tropical plants go with the flow ... of nitrogen
Tropical plants are able to adapt to environmental change by extracting nitrogen from a variety of sources, according to a new study that appears in the May 7 early online edition of The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-05-08)
Water-diffusion technology identifies brain regions damaged by prenatal alcohol exposure
Scientists know that children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) often have structural brain damage. Yet little is known about how white matter connections, and deep gray matter structures that act as relay stations, are affected in children with FASD. view more (2008-07-21)
Particles as tracers for the most massive explosions in the Milky Way
Astronomers recently observed a mysterious flux of particles in the universe, and the hope was born that this may be the first observation of the remnants of "dark matter". view more (2009-08-11)
European Water Directive: Optical sensors detect minute amounts of pollutants
Minute amounts of organic pollutants-including oestrone-can now be detected in river water as a result of a new optical sensing instrument realised in a project funded by the EU's Environment Programme. view more (2004-09-01)
Studying rivers for clues to global carbon cycle
In the science world, in the media, and recently, in our daily lives, the debate continues over how carbon in the atmosphere is affecting global climate change. Studying just how carbon cycles throughout the Earth is an enormous challenge, but one Northwestern University professor is doing his part by studying one important segment -- rivers. view more (2008-02-11)
Imaging shows structural changes in mild traumatic brain injury
Researchers report that diffusion tensor imaging can identify structural changes in the white matter of the brain that correlates to cognitive deficits even in patients with mild traumatic brain injury. view more (2007-10-26)
Study shows clumps and streams of dark matter in inner regions of the Milky Way
Using one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world to simulate the halo of dark matter that envelopes our galaxy, researchers found dense clumps and streams of the mysterious stuff lurking in the inner regions of the halo, in the same neighborhood as our solar system. view more (2008-08-07)
Record: fastest flashing star
Dutch researcher Steve van Straaten set a record during his doctoral research. The researcher registered the fastest ever change in the X-ray emission originating from a binary star. The record-breaking binary star consists of a neutron star and a lighter companion star. Astronomer Steve van Straaten studied the time variations in the X-ray... view more... (2004-05-07)
Beneficial effects of no-till farming depend upon future climate change
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming. view more (2005-10-13)
