ASU professor 'follows the elements' to understand evolution in ancient oceans
In the search for life beyond Earth, scientists 'follow the water' to find places that might be hospitable. However, every home gardener knows that plants need more than water, or even sunshine. view more (2008-12-08)
How Iron Gets into the North Pacific
Most oceanographers have assumed that, in the areas of the world's oceans known as High Nutrient, Low Chlorophyll (HNLC) regions, the iron needed to fertilize infrequent plankton blooms comes almost entirely from wind-blown dust. view more (2008-03-20)
All change at the Earth's core
It is hard to know what is going on over 3000 km beneath our feet, but until recently scientists were fairly confident that they understood the way the iron atoms in the Earth's core packed together. view more (2007-08-17)
Researchers find new mechanism governing particle growth in nanocomposites
A research team from the Georgia Institute of Technology and Drexel University has discovered a surprising new mechanism by which polymer materials used in nanocomposites control the growth of particles. view more (2005-09-01)
Nanophysicists find unexpected magnetic effect
Spanish and U.S. physicists studying nanoelectronics have found that size really does matter when it comes to predicting the behavior of electrical contacts that are just one atom wide. view more (2009-04-30)
Researchers examine why food tastes bad to chemotherapy recipients
About two million cancer patients currently receiving certain drug therapies and chemotherapy find foods and beverages to have a foul metallic flavor. view more (2006-09-20)
Appliance of science tackles UK fridge mountain
PIONEERING technology developed at Manchester Metropolitan University is set to tackle Britain`s growing fridge mountain and help save the environment. Scientists in the Department of Chemistry and Materials have developed the technique in response to new CFC controls which ban the consignment of fridges to landfill waste sites. Britons throw out... view more... (2002-03-01)
Sinking Greenhouse Gases into the Ocean
"Polarstern" begins new iron fertilization experiment On January 21, 2004, the "Polarstern", research vessel of the Alfred-Wegener-Institute of Polar and Marine Research, will leave Cape Town for the third stage of the 21st expedition to Antarctica. Forty-nine scientists from nine countries will be aboard to investigate the effects of... view more... (2004-01-21)
Asteroids and meteorites reveal family resemblance
Asteroids and meteorites are supposed to be made of the same stuff - at least that's what earth science teachers have been telling their students for decades. view more (2006-09-11)
Researchers uncover E. coli's defense mechanism
The pathogenic forms of E. coli and Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans through undercooked meat, unwashed vegetables and cross contamination from surfaces on which these foods were prepared. view more (2005-09-29)
Gene that magnetically labels cells shows potential as imaging tool
Mammalian cells can produce tiny magnetic nuggets after the introduction of a single gene from bacteria, scientists have found. The gene MagA could become a valuable tool for tracking cells' movement through the body via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), says Xiaoping Hu, PhD, professor of biomedical engineering at Emory University and the Georgia... view more...

UCLA Research Implicates Myelin in Early Evolution of Huntington's Disease
Last month, Dr. George Bartzokis, director of the UCLA Memory Disorders and Alzheimer's Disease Clinic, suggested in the journal Alzheimer's & Dementia that the breakdown of a type of myelin that develops late in life promotes the buildup of toxic amyloid plaques long associated with Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-06-12)
Researchers uncover protection mechanism of radiation-resistant bacterium
Recent discoveries by researchers at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) could lead to new avenues of exploration for radioprotection in diverse settings. Michael J. Daly, Ph.D., an associate professor in USU's Department of Pathology, and his colleagues have uncovered evidence pointing to the mechanism through which the... view more... (2007-03-21)
A star's death comes to light
Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, scientists have created a stunning new image of one of the youngest supernova remnants in the galaxy. This new view of the debris of an exploded star helps astronomers solve a long-standing mystery, with implications for understanding how a star's life can end catastrophically and for gauging the expansion... view more...

Model gives clearer idea of how oxygen came to dominate Earth's atmosphere
A number of hypotheses have been used to explain how free oxygen first accumulated in Earth's atmosphere some 2.4 billion years ago, but a full understanding has proven elusive. view more (2005-08-09)
Caistor skeleton mystifies archaeologists
A skeleton, found at one of the most important, but least understood, Roman sites in Britain is puzzling experts from The University of Nottingham. view more (2009-09-16)
Banded rocks reveal early Earth conditions, changes
The strikingly banded rocks scattered across the upper Midwest and elsewhere throughout the world are actually ambassadors from the past, offering clues to the environment of the early Earth more than 2 billion years ago. view more (2009-10-12)
Using nano-magnets to enhance medical imaging
Nanoscale magnets in the form of iron-containing molecules might be used to improve the contrast between healthy and diseased tissue in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)—as long as the concentration of nanomagnets is carefully managed. view more (2007-02-02)
The Rise of Oxygen Caused Earth's Earliest Ice Age
Geologists may have uncovered the answer to an age-old question - an ice-age-old question, that is. view more (2009-05-07)
U of M researchers discover key for converting waste to electricity
Researchers at the University of Minnesota studying bacteria capable of generating electricity have discovered that riboflavin (commonly known as vitamin B-2) is responsible for much of the energy produced by these organisms. view more (2008-03-04)
