Alstom And Rolls-Royce Sign Long-term Technology Agreement
ALSTOM and Rolls-Royce announced today (13 February 2002) that they have signed a long-term technology agreement which will enable ALSTOM to use Rolls-Royce aero engine technology in the development of its heavy duty gas turbine product range. This agreement is in line with ALSTOM's long-term strategy to offer a highly-competitive heavy duty gas... view more... (2002-02-13)
Gas giants jump into planet formation early
Observations from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope show that gas giants either form within the first 10 million years of a sun-like star's life, or not at all. view more (2007-01-09)
XMM-Newton spots the greatest of great balls of fire
Thanks to data from ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray satellite, a team of international scientists found a comet-like ball of gas over a thousand million times the mass of the sun hurling through a distant galaxy cluster over 750 kilometres per second. view more (2006-06-13)
Winds of 320 000 kilometres per hour on the Sun
The SUMER instrument on the ESA-NASA SOHO spacecraft has measured amazing wind speeds during its observations of the Sun. It sets a new record in its examination of two loops of gas arching in the solar atmosphere, where NASA`s TRACE satellite spotted bright blobs of gas. Shifts in the wavelength of ultraviolet light from highly ionized neon... view more... (2002-05-17)
Natural gas nanotech
Nanotechnology could revolutionize the natural gas industry across the whole lifecycle from extraction to pollution reduction or be an enormous missed opportunity, claim two industry experts writing in Inderscience's International Journal of Nanotechnology. view more (2007-10-31)
Carnegie Mellon researchers look at fossil fuel impacts
A team of Carnegie Mellon University researchers report that the choices U.S. officials make today could limit how the nation's future energy needs are met and could cost consumers billions in idle power plants and associated infrastructure systems. view more (2007-08-23)
Closing the hydrogen economic loop
The inventor of the nickel metal hydride (NiMH) technology used for building batteries for countless portable electronic gadgets and now hybrid gas-electric cars believes the hydrogen economy is already upon us. view more (2008-07-21)
Higher gas prices leave many workers running on empty
Few have been unaffected by the rapidly increasing price of gas, which has inched its way up toward $4 a gallon in some parts of the United States. And consumers aren't feeling those effects just in their wallets, a Florida State University professor has found. view more (2007-05-14)
Crystal sponges excel at sopping up CO2
Since the Industrial Revolution, levels of carbon dioxide--a major contributor to the greenhouse effect--have been on the rise, prompting scientists to search for ways of counteracting the trend. view more (2005-12-02)
New evidence for organic compounds in deep space
The mysterious spectral bands in the infrared of interstellar gas clouds in deep space originate from organic compounds. Research by the Nijmegen physicist Hans Piest confirms this. He has provided new experimental evidence for this almost 30-year-old problem in astronomy. Each molecule has specific wavelengths at which it can either absorb or... view more... (2002-04-18)
Explaining the methane mystery
Scientists have explained why atmospheric levels of the greenhouse gas methane have stabilised in recent years, but warn that increases could resume in the near future. view more (2006-09-28)
Ventilation is essential for kitchens with gas cookers, says safety expert
Gas cookers emit ultra-fine particles and other compounds that pollute the indoor atmosphere. Householders are urged, therefore, to ensure that their kitchens are properly ventilated, preferably using extract cooker hoods or extract fans. This important advice was given by Professor Gary Raw from the Building Research Establishment at a symposium... view more... (1999-10-27)
Scientists develop model to map continental margins
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a new exploration method to assist the oil and gas industry in identifying more precisely where the oceans and continents meet. view more (2008-09-09)
Key mechanism for star formation found?
The team, led by Dan Clemens, from Boston University Institute for Astrophysical Research, examined a distant cloud of gas and dust called GF9, located about 1300 light years away. It shows a filamentary or wispy appearance, with dark "globules" distributed along its length. The new observation with ISO focused on two of these dark globules, one... view more... (1999-06-03)
Beating the back-up blues
That sinking feeling when your hard disk starts screeching and you haven't backed up your holiday photos is a step closer to becoming a thing of the past thanks to research into a new kind of computer memory. view more (2009-04-06)
Astronomers find new evidence for the violent demise of sun-like stars
Two astronomers have used NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory to discover a shell of superheated gas around a dying star in the Milky Way galaxy. view more (2005-05-31)
Poultry and diabetics at risk from gas gangrene bug
Gas gangrene, the notorious infectious disease of two world wars can still be a problem today. view more (2009-03-30)
Flares illuminate the secret life of a quiescent black hole
Astronomers probing the intimate details of apparently quiescent stellar black holes have discovered that in reality they are dynamic, lively places, subject to flares that briefly illuminate the whole of the gas disc around the black hole. Their observations are helping to build up a picture of precisely where X-rays are generated in the gas as... view more... (2002-04-04)
Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of adolescents
Gas cooking has a harmful effect on the lung function of girls who are susceptible to allergies, concludes research in Thorax. Over 700 Italian school children aged 11-13 years were interviewed by a physician and categorised according to how often they were in the kitchen while the mother cooked using a gas stove. Lung function measurements were... view more... (2001-06-14)
Frozen Natural Gas Discovered at Unexpectedly Shallow Depths Below Seafloor
An international team of research scientists has reported greater knowledge of how gas hydrate deposits form in nature, subsequent to a scientific ocean-drilling expedition off Canada's western coast. view more (2006-08-22)
