Nudge or Think: What works best for our society?
If approached in the right way, citizens are willing to change their behaviour and do more to help themselves and others, according to research funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). View More (2012-09-21)
BTB plant, pioneer in assessing construction and demolition waste
The plant Bizkaiko Txin-Txor Berziklategia (BTB), located in La Orkonera, Ortuella (Bizkaia, Basque Country) is the first plant of the Basque Autonomous Region dedicated to the assessment of waste derived from construction and demolition. Its set up, after an investment of 2,6 million euros, is going to prolong the average life of dumping sites. View More (2002-10-07)
What goes down, must come up: Earth's leaky mantle
A new analysis of the processes that constantly stir the Earth's deep mantle is helping to explain how the mantle holds onto a portion of ancient noble gases that were trapped during the Earth's formation. View More (2009-05-28)
Simplifying waste management
A newly-invented automatic waste transportation and sorting system operates economically and ecologically on virtually any kind of premises. View More (2005-01-05)
New sensors that see rubbish and gas
The SINTEF Group, in co-operation with the re-cycling company Tomra now goes beyond cash deposits for bottles and cans to recycling plastic, glass and metal. Newly developed, patented technology makes it possible to sort different types of plastic, different colours of glass as well as metal - easily, effectively and inexpensively. A new, inexpensive gas-detector that contributes to a better... View More (2005-04-11)
Astronomers find that galaxies are the ultimate recyclers
A team of researchers from several universities and institutions, including University of Notre Dame physics faculty Chris Howk and Nicolas Lehner, has demonstrated how galaxies continue to form stars by recycling vast amounts of hydrogen gas and heavy elements across billions of years.

UF scientists reveal how dietary restriction cleans cells
Reduce, recycle and rebuild is as important to the most basic component of the human body, the cell, as it is to the environment. View More (2007-08-24)
Health care accounts for 8 percent of US carbon footprint
The American health care sector accounts for nearly a tenth of the country's carbon dioxide emissions, according to a first-of-its-kind calculation of health care's carbon footprint. View More (2009-11-11)
Certain diseases, birth defects may be linked to failure of protein recycling system
A group of signaling proteins known as Wnt - which help build the human body's skin, bone, muscle and other tissues - depend on a complex delivery and recycling system to ensure their transport to tissue-building cell sites, according to a study at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

A New Nuance to Neurons
A fundamental new discovery about how nerve cells in the brain store and release tiny sacs filled with chemicals may radically alter the way scientists think about neurotransmission - the electrical signaling in the brain that enables everything from the way we move, to how we remember and sense the world.

NASA's Hubble confirms that galaxies are the ultimate recyclers
New observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope are expanding astronomers' understanding of the ways in which galaxies continuously recycle immense volumes of hydrogen gas and heavy elements. View More (2011-11-18)
Studies seek better understanding and treatment of depression
Connecting the dots between two molecules whose levels are decreased in depression and increased by current antidepressants could yield new therapies, researchers say. View More (2012-08-15)
Another kind of paper chase: The new quest for soft toilet paper
A growing shortage of high-quality paper for recycling into new paper products threatens to thwart consumers' preferences for oh-so-soft toilet paper, according to an article in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), ACS' weekly newsmagazine. View More (2010-04-22)
Press invitation - Research And Water: Global Visions, Local Actions
Water is and has been determinant for life. Its presence and quality conditions human settlements, economic development and ecosystems. Unavoidably, industry consumes water, and waste originating from production processes often has negative impacts on the environment and on human health. As pointed out by Philippe Busquin, Commisioner for Research, "Water management has been on the agenda of... View More (2002-04-29)
Product stewardship: Designing for life after the consumer
Manufacturers of everything from smart phones to SUVs are starting to design products not just for the customer's use, but also for an often troublesome life after the consumer, according to an article in Chemical & Engineering News (C&EN), ACS' weekly newsmagazine. View More (2011-08-04)
Mayo Researchers: Genetic Mutation Linked to Parkinson's Disease
Researchers have discovered a new gene mutation they say causes Parkinson's disease. The mutation was identified in a large Swiss family with Parkinson's disease, using advanced DNA sequencing technology. View More (2011-07-18)
Notre Dame research offers important clues about grasshopper population explosions
Literature and films have left us with vivid images of the grasshopper plagues that devastated the Great Plains in the 1870s. Although commonly referred to as grasshoppers, the infestations were actually by Rocky Mountain locusts. View More (2011-02-28)
Wood's 'noble rot' fungus genetically decoded
An international team including Empa researcher Francis Schwarze has sequenced the genome of the common split gill mushroom, Schizophyllum commune, a widely distributed fungus which grows on and decomposes wood. View More (2010-07-20)
Scientists at Scripps Research Institute discover how 2 proteins help keep cells healthy
Scientists at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have determined how two proteins help create organelles, or specialized subunits within a cell, that play a vital role in maintaining cell health. View More (2012-12-03)
Ancient enzymes function like nanopistons to unwind RNA
Molecular biologists at The University of Texas at Austin have solved one of the mysteries of how double-stranded RNA is remodeled inside cells in both their normal and disease states. View More (2012-09-04)
