Rounding up gases, nano-style
A new process for catching gas from the environment and holding it indefinitely in molecular-sized containers has been developed by a team of University of Calgary researchers, who say it represents a novel method of gas storage that could yield benefits for capturing, storing and transporting... view more (2008-02-04)

Ethylene suggested for hydrogen storage
Ethylene, a ho-hum material that is the building block of the most common plastic, might have an exciting future in storing hydrogen, the hoped-for transportation fuel of the future.   view more (2006-12-11)

Cold storage solution for global warming?
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the British Geological Society (BGS) have proposed storing CO2 in huge underground reservoirs as a way of reducing emissions- and have even identified sites in Western Europe that would be suitable.   view more (2007-02-07)

Hydrogen storage can be improved
The storage of hydrogen in fuel cell powered cars can probably be greatly improved by increasing the working temperature of the fuel cell. With the use of magnesium powder, the storage of hydrogen can take place more efficiently and safely and at a higher temperature. This is the conclusion of Gijs... view more (2005-01-26)

Discovery is a step towards pollution-free cars
Scientists have made a world-first discovery which is a step towards using environmentally-friendly hydrogen to power our cars.   view more (2004-10-13)

The danger of blindness after ophthalmic surgery
Ophthalmologists inject gas into the eye mainly during the surgical treatment of retinal hemorrhages or injuries. The purpose of the gas is to help press the detached retina to the wall of the eye.   view more (2008-02-26)

TAKE CARE - YOUR CAMPING STOVE COULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR HEALTH
Inadequate instructions on how to change gas canisters on camping stoves is resulting in unnecessary injuries, write Adrian Richards and colleagues from the Odstock Centre for Burns, Plastic and Maxillofacial Surgery at Salisbury District General Hospital in this week's BMJ. Based on experiences... view more (1999-02-26)

A POX on syn
A way to convert natural gas into raw materials for the chemical industry and generate power as a by-product could lead to more environmental benign manufacturing processes.   view more (2007-09-12)

CO2 storage in coal can be predicted better
CO2 storage in the ground is being considered increasingly more often in order to realise the climate and energy objectives. Dutch researcher Saikat Mazumder made it possible to better predict routes of the 'underground highways' along which gasses like carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) will... view more (2007-04-16)

High Gas Prices Cause Chemical Production Shut Down
High and volatile UK gas prices reached new levels over the last few days and have left some chemical companies no choice but to shut down operations. The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) now calls upon the DTI and OFGEM to take immediate, urgent action to resolve the situation before sites... view more (2005-03-02)

Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs
Cooking with gas may increase inflammatory activity in the lungs, suggests a study in Occupational and Environmental Medicine. Teflon filters were used to collect any particulate matter pollution emitted from gas and electric cookers. The residue was then applied to cultured cells that normally... view more (2001-02-10)

UCR chemists identify organic molecules that mimic metals
A limitation in using hydrogen as a fuel in hydrogen-powered vehicles is the difficulty involved in storing it in a cost-effective and convenient manner.   view more (2007-04-20)

A promising step towards more effective hydrogen storage
An international research team led by Swedish Professor Rajeev Ahuja, Uppsala University, has demonstrated an atomistic mechanism of hydrogen release in magnesium nanoparticles - a potential hydrogen storage material. The findings have been published in the online edition of Proceedings of the... view more (2008-06-17)

Planting carbon deep in the earth -- rather than the greenhouse
Storing carbon dioxide deep below the earth's surface could be a safe, long-term solution to one of the planet's major contributors to climate change.   view more (2007-11-27)

Cosmic thermostats provide clue to 30 year old astronomy puzzle (Embargoed until 1900 hrs London time Wednesday 17 July 2002)
A cosmic phenomenon involving pockets of hot gas in space which appear not to cool down has been puzzling astronomers for three decades. Now new research by Dr Christian Kaiser at the University of Southampton and Professor Marcus Brüggen of the International University Bremen, Germany, shows... view more (2002-07-16)

New material could make gases more transportable
Chemists at the University of Liverpool have developed a way of converting methane gas into a powder form in order to make it more transportable.   view more (2008-11-21)

EU project on killer bacteria led by Lund researchers
Serious streptococcus infections is the theme of a major EU project to be coordinated and led by researchers from Lund University. Associate Professor Claes Schalen and researcher Aftab Jasir, both at the Department of Medical Microbiology, Dermatology, and Infections, Section for Bacteriology, are... view more (2002-10-15)

Exploding Bubbles Detected by Laser Light
A revolutionary way of detecting the potentially dangerous gas bubbles in bore-holes that can lead to large explosions, is reported today in the Institute of Physics journal, Measurement Science and Technology. The new technique, developed by researchers at the University of Reading, could save the... view more (2000-05-30)

'Grow your own electricity' says City University
A solid oxide fuel cell, placed in the domestic gas boiler, should generate electricity from the gas every time the boiler is activated. The electricity, if not used around the house, could then be sold back into the national grid - running the electricity meter backwards!   view more (1998-11-10)

Forests damaged by Katrina may contribute to global warming
Researchers led by biologist Jeffrey Chambers of Tulane University have determined that the losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast forest trees are enough to cancel out a year's worth of new tree biomass (trunks, branches and foliage) growth in other parts of the country.   view more (2007-11-16)

Nano-cages 'fill up' with hydrogen
A "cagey" strategy to stack more hydrogen in nanoscale scaffoldings made of zinc-based boxes may yield a viable approach to storing hydrogen and, ultimately, replacing fossil fuels in future automobiles, according to new results from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)... view more (2005-12-02)

Tiny fuel cell might replace batteries in laptop computers, portable electronics
If you're frustrated by frequently losing battery power in your laptop computer, digital camera or portable music player, then take heart: A better source of "juice" is in the works.   view more (2006-09-13)

Nitrous oxide from ocean microbes
A large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the oxygen poor parts of the ocean using nitrites, Dr Mark Trimmer told journalists at a Science Media Centre press briefing today.   view more (2007-12-11)

Computers explain why pears may become brown during commercial storage
Internal browning of pears stored under low oxygen conditions is related to restricted gas exchange inside the fruit, according to a study published March 7th in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology.   view more (2008-03-10)

Storing carbon dioxide below ground may prevent polluting above
A new analysis led by an MIT scientist describes a mechanism for capturing carbon dioxide emissions from a power plant and injecting the gas into the ground, where it would be trapped naturally as tiny bubbles and safely stored in briny porous rock.   view more (2007-02-12)
