Better access to cool caps improves outcomes, lowers cost of treating asphyxia in newborns
When newborns suffering from a form of asphyxia at birth have better access to head cooling devices, fewer will face a lifetime of debilitating and costly health complications, according to researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC).   view more (2008-01-08)

Space technology for McLaren at the British Grand Prix
At the British Grand Prix next weekend, the McLaren team will have a special boost from space technology: their mechanics` suits will feature a cooling system, specially developed from the astronauts` suits by the Technology Transfer Programme of the European Space Agency. The McLaren mechanics`... view more (2002-07-05)

Climate change responsible for increased hurricanes
Human induced climate change, rather than naturally occurring ocean cycles, may be responsible for the recent increases in frequency and strength of North Atlantic hurricanes.   view more (2006-05-31)

Tiny refrigerator taking shape to cool future computers
Researchers at Purdue University are developing a miniature refrigeration system small enough to fit inside laptops and personal computers, a cooling technology that would boost performance while shrinking the size of computers.   view more (2008-06-20)

Tropical forests — Earth's air conditioner
Planting and protecting trees—which trap and absorb carbon dioxide as they grow—can help to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.   view more (2007-04-10)

Climate models consistent with ocean warming observations
Climate models are reliable tools that help researchers better understand the observed record of ocean warming and variability.   view more (2007-06-19)

Has the mystery of the Antarctic ice sheet been solved?
A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales travelled to Africa to find new evidence of climate change which helps explain some of the mystery surrounding the appearance of the Antarctic ice sheet.   view more (2008-02-28)

Irrigation may not cool the globe in the future
Expansion of irrigation has masked greenhouse warming in California's Central Valley, but irrigation may not make much of a difference in the future, according to a new study in the Aug. 13 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.   view more (2007-08-15)

Greenhouse Gases - Nothing To Blame For?
In the nearest future we may witness global cooling in spite of increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. That can happen, if the following hypothesis is correct: not the growth of greenhouse gases concentration provokes temperature to rise, but vice versa. It is generally... view more (2004-07-30)

Cooling Off Periods
Research by a team of Cambridge scientists has provided new clues about the first dramatic cooling of the Earth's climate 34 million years ago. The team, based at the University of Cambridge's Department of Earth Sciences said that ocean temperature drops were apparently not responsible for the... view more (2000-01-12)

Wrinkled membranes create novel drug-delivery system
A University of Illinois scientist studying how membranes wrinkle has discovered a novel system for on-demand drug delivery.   view more (2006-02-15)

New device from CU physicist tests uncertainty principle to unprecedented level — and shows that looks can cool
In the submicroscopic world - the domain of elementary particles and individual atoms - things behave in the strange, counter-intuitive fashion governed by the principles of quantum mechanics.   view more (2006-09-25)

Mercury's shifting, rolling past
Patterns of scalloped-edged cliffs or lobate scarps on Mercury's surface are thrust faults that are consistent with the planet shrinking and cooling with time. However, compression occurred in the planet's early history and Mariner 10 images revealed decades ago that lobate scarps are among the... view more (2008-03-18)

Role of noise in neurons
Addressing a current issue in neuroscience, Aldo Faisal and Simon Laughlin from Cambridge University investigate the reliability of thin axons for transmitting information. They show that noise effects in ion channels in the brain are much larger than previously assumed - meaning the fidelity of... view more (2007-05-04)

Old pulsars still have new tricks to teach us
The super-sensitivity of ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has shown that the prevailing theory of how stellar corpses, known as pulsars, generate their X-rays needs revising.   view more (2006-07-26)

How chilly was the last ice age?
Polar oceans permanently covered with ice, temperatures ten to twelve degrees Celsius lower than today in the North Atlantic region, tropical oceans on the other hand only two degrees Celsius below modern values: Until quite recently these were the general ideas climate researchers had about the... view more (1999-05-03)

Guarding giants with tiny protectors
How do you build an infrared (IR) camera that is small enough to fit on a mini-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) without cryogenic cooling? Call in the nanobots.   view more (2005-10-24)

New technology has dramatic chip-cooling potential for future computers
Researchers have demonstrated a new technology using tiny "ionic wind engines" that might dramatically improve computer chip cooling, possibly addressing a looming threat to future advances in computers and electronics.   view more (2007-08-14)

Cool Findings: Nanotubes Could Improve Thermal Management in Electronics
As the electronics industry continues to churn out smaller and slimmer portable devices, manufacturers have been challenged to find new ways to combat the persistent problem of thermal management.   view more (2007-03-30)

Forest fires may lead to cooling of northern climate
Countering hypotheses that forest fires in Alaska, Canada and Siberia warm the climate, scientists at UC Irvine have discovered that cooling may occur in areas where charred trees expose more snow, which reflects sunlight into space.   view more (2006-11-17)

WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS: RARE ORBITAL ANOMALY MAY HAVE CAUSED GLOBAL COOLING 23 MILLION YEARS AGO
A rare coincidence of orbital cycles may have caused sudden global cooling 23 million years (Ma) ago, according to scientists, who used high resolution records and new techniques that allow astronomical calibration to be extended much further back in time. The late Oligocene to early Miocene Earth... view more (2001-06-21)
