'Cooling down' begins at Svalbard Global Seed Vault
Refrigeration units began pumping chilly air deep into an Arctic mountain cavern today, launching the innovative and critical "cooling down" phase of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in advance of its official opening early next year as a fail-safe repository of the world's vital food crops.   view more (2007-11-16)

Nanotube forests grown on silicon chips for future computers, electronics
Engineers have shown how to grow forests of tiny cylinders called carbon nanotubes onto the surfaces of computer chips to enhance the flow of heat at a critical point where the chips connect to cooling devices called heat sinks.   view more (2007-10-02)

NASA data show Arctic saw fastest August sea ice retreat on record
Following a record-breaking season of arctic sea ice decline in 2007, NASA scientists have kept a close watch on the 2008 melt season. Although the melt season did not break the record for ice loss, NASA data are showing that for a four-week period in August 2008, sea ice melted faster during that... view more (2008-09-29)

Space tech to race at Le Mans this weekend
Space technology will thrust two cars into this year's legendary 24-hour Le Mans race. Thanks to new composite materials designed for space travel, the cars will be lighter and safer making them more competitive in the world-famous race that takes place this year from 14 to 15 June in France. Le... view more (2003-06-11)

Computer simulations strongly support new theory of Earth's core
Swedish researchers present in today's Web edition of the journal Science evidence that their theory about the core of the earth is correct. Among other applications, the findings may be of significance for our understanding of the cooling down of the earth, and of the stability of the earth's... view more (2008-02-11)

Tiny airborne particles are a major cause of climate change
A scientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science and his colleagues caused a storm in the atmospheric community when they suggested a few years back that tiny airborne particles, known as aerosols, may be one of the main culprits causing climate change - having, on a local scale, an even greater... view more (2006-07-19)

Was El Ni'ħo unaffected by the Little Ice Age ?
An extremely intense El Ni'ħo event in 1983 prompted an international surveillance programme, involving the deployment of moored or drift measurement buoys and observation satellites. This research effort is proving to be fruitful. The data obtained provide a key to understanding how the two... view more (2002-03-27)

Air dried sperm could allow home storage
Madrid, Spain: A novel method of preserving sperm through air drying is showing initial promise and has the potential to revolutionize sperm storage, allowing men awaiting in vitro fertilization (IVF) to take care of their sperm at home. Dr Daniel Imoedemhe, a consultant in reproductive medicine... view more (2003-06-28)

Dusty old star offers window to our future, astronomers report
Astronomers have glimpsed dusty debris around an essentially dead star where gravity and radiation should have long ago removed any sign of dust - a discovery that may provide insights into our own solar system's eventual demise several billion years from now.   view more (2005-09-09)

Menthol receptor also important in detecting cold temperatures
The ion channel activated by menthol also detects a wide range of cold temperatures and relays the information to the brain, according to a study in Nature by Yale School of Medicine, the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Wisconsin.   view more (2007-06-08)

Extraterrestrial Impact Likely Source of Sudden Ice Age Extinctions

Fans use too much electricity
From our kitchens to industrial buildings, we cannot do without fans - even if we are only seldom aware of them. They cool the processor in our home computers, or rotate in the cooling towers of large power stations. But they need electricity to be able to do their job. For Europe, the Fraunhofer... view more (2002-08-29)
