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)

Common viruses may cause cancer
In some cases, the fusion of human cells is a normal process that leads, for instance, to the formation of muscle and bone. Viral infections can also cause cell fusion, but cells fused by viruses are widely considered to be harmless because they are generally believed to die without consequences... view more (2005-11-09)

Ceramic/metal interface fracture toughness
Ceramic/metal joints have been increasingly applied in a wide range of engineering fields because the ceramic has stable mechanical properties at high temperature and good resistance to wear, erosion and oxidation.   view more (2005-09-29)

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)

Drug-eluting stents more effective, equally as safe as bare metal stents in clinical trial
Late-breaking data from the HORIZONS AMI (Harmonizing Outcomes with RevascularIZatiON and Stents in Acute Myocardial Infarction) trial reveal that after one year, use of a drug-eluting (paclitaxel) stent demonstrated significantly reduced rates of target lesion revascularization (TLR) and binary... view more (2008-10-16)

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... view more (2002-02-12)

Seabed Research Will Have Global Significance
Sediments in the Arabian Sea will be examined by an international scientific expedition led by a researcher from the University of Edinburgh to increase understanding of the natural processes of the ocean floor and establish its significance for global cycles and climate change. Robotic research... view more (2002-09-05)

No more loose screws!
Machine parts and tools with a functional coating made of diamond-like carbon are not only more wear-resistant than usual ones, but also smarter. At the Hanover Fair, visitors can see ”intelligent“ washers and tools that measure whether screws are sufficiently tight. ---------- Modern... view more (2002-04-16)

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... view more (2007-03-16)

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.... view more (2005-05-24)
