Stopping atoms
With atoms and molecules in a gas moving at thousands of kilometres per hour, physicists have long sought a way to slow them down to a few kilometres per hour to trap them.   view more (2007-10-03)

Liquid CO2 drives rapid thrust of diamond-bearing structures
Freeze-dried ice cream looks like the original product, and even tastes pretty good, but "drying" ice cream at room temperature would leave a sour-smelling, sloppy mess.   view more (2007-05-03)

Flexible nanoantenna arrays capture abundant solar energy
Researchers have devised an inexpensive way to produce plastic sheets containing billions of nanoantennas that collect heat energy generated by the sun and other sources. The technology, developed at the U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Laboratory, is the first step toward a solar energy... view more (2008-08-11)

2005 Was the Warmest Year in a Century
The year 2005 may have been the warmest year in a century, according to NASA scientists studying temperature data from around the world.   view more (2006-01-25)

Are aerosols reducing coastal drizzle and increasing cloud cover?
Scientists sponsored by the Department of Energy are conducting a six-month atmospheric research campaign at the Point Reyes National Seashore, in Marin County, California. The experiment's goal is to help researchers understand how aerosols -small particles such as soot, dust and smoke-influence... view more (2005-07-01)

Journal details how global warming will affect the world's fisheries
Watching the ebb and flow of populations of fisheries around the world can provide some insight into understanding the effects of global warming on our planet, according to a group of researchers writing in the summer 2007 issue of Natural Resource Modeling.   view more (2007-05-17)

Carbon dioxide role in past climate revealed
Researchers at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and the University of California, Santa Cruz have discovered that Earth's last great global warming period, 3 million years ago, may have been caused by levels of CO2 in the atmosphere similar to today's.   view more (2005-04-11)

Unique fossil discovery shows Antarctic was once much warmer
A new fossil discovery- the first of its kind from the whole of the Antarctic continent- provides scientists with new evidence to support the theory that the polar region was once much warmer.   view more (2008-07-23)

Scientists discover quantum mechanical 'hurricanes' form spontaneously
University of Arizona scientists experimenting with some of the coldest gases in the universe have discovered that when atoms in the gas get cold enough, they can spontaneously spin up into what might be described as quantum mechanical twisters or hurricanes.   view more (2008-10-16)

Major physics breakthrough in understanding supersolidity
Physicists at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, have made a major advance in the understanding of what appears to be a new state of matter.   view more (2007-12-06)

Melting ice under pressure
The deep interior of Neptune, Uranus and Earth may contain some solid ice. Through first-principle molecular dynamics simulations, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists, together with University of California, Davis collaborators, used a two-phase approach to determine the melting... view more (2008-09-24)

World to be even hotter by century's end
If Earth's past cycles of warming and cooling are any indication, temperatures by the end of the century will be even hotter than current climate models predict, according to a report by University of California, Berkeley, researchers.   view more (2006-05-25)

Rolling wires
Rolls which shape metal strip and wire become worn over the course of time. Rolls made of silicon nitride are more durable than those made of steel. Research engineers conduct work on the measurement, simulation and optimization of sintering and rolling processes. Throughout the world, wire is not... view more (2002-03-05)

Deep sea algae connect ancient climate, carbon dioxide and vegetation
Assistant Professor Mark Pagani in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale and his colleagues mapped the first detailed history of atmospheric carbon dioxide between 45-25 million years ago based on stable isotopes of carbon in a National Science Foundation study reported in Science... view more (2005-06-23)
