Scientists in first global study of 'poison' gas in the atmosphere
It was used as a chemical weapon in the trenches in the First World War, but nearly a century later, new research by an international team of scientists has discovered that phosgene is present in significant quantities in the atmosphere. view more (2007-09-20)
Nitrous Oxide Emissions Respond Differently to No-Till Depending on the Soil Type
The practice of no-till has increased considerably during the past 20 yr. The absence of tillage coupled with the accumulation of crop residues at the soil surface modifies several soil properties but also influence nitrogen dynamics. view more (2008-10-23)
Physicists observe magnetism in gas for the first time
An international team of physicists has for the first time observed magnetic behaviour in an atomic gas, addressing a decades-old debate as to whether it is possible for a gas or liquid to become ferromagnetic and exhibit magnetic properties. view more (2009-10-05)
A Planet in Progress?
Scientists are one step closer to understanding how new planets form, thanks to research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and carried out by a team of astrophysicists at the American Museum of Natural History. view more (2008-03-27)
Hubble sees 'Comet Galaxy' being ripped apart by galaxy cluster
There are many galaxies of different shapes and sizes around us today. Roughly half are gas-poor elliptical-shaped galaxies with little new star formation activity, and half are gas-rich spiral and irregular galaxies with high star formation activity. Observations have shown that gas-poor galaxies are most often found near the centre of crowded... view more... (2007-03-05)
Energy Lab Sets Aggressive Greenhouse Gas Reduction Goal
The U.S. Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has pledged to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 75 percent from 2005 to 2009. view more (2007-12-06)
Quantum gas microscope offers glimpse of quirky ultracold atoms
Physicists at Harvard University have created a quantum gas microscope that can be used to observe single atoms at temperatures so low the particles follow the rules of quantum mechanics, behaving in bizarre ways. view more (2009-11-05)
Fantastic plastic could cut CO2 emissions and purify water
A new membrane that mimics pores found in plants has applications in water, energy and climate change mitigation. view more (2007-10-12)
Dirty stars make good solar system hosts
Some stars are lonely behemoths, with no surrounding planets or asteroids, while others sport a skirt of attendant planetary bodies. New research published this week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters explains why the composition of the stars often indicates whether their light shines into deep space, or whether a small fraction shines onto... view more...

Physics breakthrough much ado about 'nothing'
How do scientists store nothing? It may sound like the beginning of a bad joke, but the answer is causing a stir in the realm of quantum physics after two research teams, including one from the University of Calgary, have independently proven it's possible to store a special kind of vacuum in a puff of gas and then retrieve it a split second later. view more (2008-03-06)
Plan to conserve forests may be detrimental to other ecosystems
Conserving biodiversity must be considered when developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, researchers warn in today's edition of Science. view more (2008-06-13)
Potent greenhouse gas more prevalent in atmosphere than previously assumed
A powerful greenhouse gas is at least four times more prevalent in the atmosphere than previously estimated, according to a team of researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. view more (2008-10-24)
Plugging into an electric vehicle revolution
A road trial of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), which could one day end up in every Australian driveway, is underway. view more (2009-10-28)
Body's "wonder gas" could tackle asthma and heart disease
The body's all-pervasive "wonder gas" nitric oxide is giving up its secrets to a high-powered team of researchers at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College London and the knowledge may lead to new treatments for asthma, heart disease, joint problems and a range of other conditions. The work is being led by... view more... (2000-04-10)
New greenhouse gas identified
A gas used for fumigation has the potential to contribute significantly to future greenhouse warming, but because its production has not yet reached high levels there is still time to nip this potential contributor in the bud, according to an international team of researchers. view more (2009-03-12)
Supernova remnant menagerie
The supernova remnant N 63A is a member of N 63, a star-forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Visible from the southern hemisphere, the LMC is an irregular galaxy lying 160,000 light-years from our own Milky Way galaxy. view more (2005-06-07)
UGA astronomers discover surprising shortage of hot gas in famed spiral galaxy NGC 1068
Spiral galaxies are the glitter of the universe. These systems of stars, dust, gas and plasma are held together by gravity but seem to pinwheel across the darkness of space. view more (2006-06-06)
Universally Speaking, Earthlings Share a Nice Neighborhood
We don't have spacecraft to take us outside our solar system--not yet, at least. Still, astronomers thought they had a pretty good understanding of how our solar system formed and in turn, how others formed. view more (2008-08-11)
Photocell Provides Both Heat And Electricity
In 1969, scientists at the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute, St. Petersburg made heterostructured photoelectric cells based on the elements of the third and the fifth group of the periodic table (for example, gallium arsenide). Now the photocells can find application not only in space, but also on Earth. To make them working the sunlight is not... view more... (2001-11-27)
Wildlife conservation and energy dev't study seeks balance in Rockies
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) today—with key support from leading energy producers in the Rockies—released first-year results from a study on how natural gas development in the Rockies might be influencing wildlife, particularly pronghorn antelope. view more (2006-06-16)
