Where there's wildfire smoke, there's toxicity
The health threat to city dwellers posed by Southern California wildfires like those of November 2008 may have been underestimated by officials. view more (2008-11-20)
Less trouble at mill, thanks to earthworms
Waste from the textiles industry could with the assistance of earthworms and some animal manure become a rich compost for agriculture, according to a report in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution. view more (2009-07-16)
Golf course putting greens show their age
Just like the rest of us, golf courses show their age-especially on putting greens, which experience more foot traffic than anywhere else on golf courses. Putting greens, which comprise only about 1.6% of the total area on most courses, require more intensive management than any other part of the course. view more (2009-09-04)
How Life Originated In Space
Life originated on the Earth more than 3.5 billion years ago. However, the scientists are still disputing over the possible sources of the life origin. The matter is that life on our planet evolved from the molecular level to the level of bacteria organisms within 0.5 - 1 billion years, this period being very short for such an important... view more...

New material for nanoscale-computer chips
New data from Chinese-Danish collaboration shows that organic nanoscale wires could be an alternative to silicon in computer chips. The discovery has just been published in the respected scientific journal, Advanced Materials. view more (2009-08-17)
Flexi display technology is now
Rigid television screens, bulky laptops and still image posters are to be a thing of the past as new research, published today, Thursday, 2 October, in the New Journal of Physics, heralds the beginning of a technological revolution for screen displays. view more (2008-10-02)
Rivers are carbon processors, not inert pipelines
Microorganisms in rivers and streams play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle that has not previously been considered. view more (2008-12-02)
Exposure to organic dissolvents may cause carcinogenic mutations
A study led by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona researchers has shown that exposure to hydrocarbon-based organic dissolvents may provoke mutations in the k-ras oncogen, a gene which facilitates the appearance of tumours when it has mutated. The relationship has been demonstrated in pancreatic cancer patients who had been exposed to the... view more... (2002-02-11)
Mapping the cosmic web of dark matter
What is Dark Matter and where is it found? These are two of the major mysteries in current studies of the Universe. Although the nature of this invisible material remains elusive, astronomers are beginning to produce detailed maps of the Cosmos, showing its location in relation to the ordinary matter that we can see in telescopes. One of the... view more... (2002-04-03)
Newcastle Leads Pan-European Organic Food Project
Newcastle University is leading a new £12m. project which is investigating why the taste and nutritional value of our food is decreasing and how and why organic farming can be a solution to these problems. The project includes 31 partners from across Europe and is funded by the European Union. Organic farming minimises or completely avoids... view more... (2004-06-18)
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)
Clash of clusters provides new dark matter clue
A powerful collision between galaxy clusters has been captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This clash of clusters provides striking evidence for dark matter and insight into its properties. view more (2008-08-28)
The dark matter of the universe has a long lifetime
New research from the Niels Bohr Institute presents new information that adds another piece of knowledge to the jigsaw puzzle of the dark mystery of the universe - dark matter. The research has just been published in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters. view more (2007-10-02)
New journal 'SOFT MATTER' to be launched by the Royal Society of Chemistry
The largest organisation in Europe for advancing the chemical sciences, the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), announced yesterday at the Jülich Soft Matter Days 2004 conference that it will launch a new publication, Soft Matter, in Summer 2005. view more (2004-11-17)
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)
Deep biosphere research points to new methods for recovering petroleum
Miles below us, deep within Earth's crust, life is astir. Organisms there are not the large creatures typically envisioned when thinking of life. view more (2008-10-08)
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)
