Washington Getting a Summertime Air Quality Exam
Summer in the city can often mean sweltering "bad air days" that threaten the health of the elderly, children and those with respiratory problems. This summer the nation's capitol has been no stranger to such severe air-quality alerts.   view more (2006-08-07)

New malaria enzyme laid bare with help of computer calculations
Using only computers, a research team at Uppsala University in Sweden has managed to reveal both the structure and the function of a newly discovered enzyme from the most dangerous malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. All that was needed was the amino acid sequence of the enzyme. The findings... view more (2004-12-07)

Nano propellers pump with proper chemistry
The ability to pump liquids at the cellular scale opens up exciting possibilities, such as precisely targeting medicines and regulating flow into and out of cells. But designing this molecular machinery has proven difficult.   view more (2007-07-17)

ESA studies the Sun-Earth climate link
Meteorologists can no longer view the Earth as an isolated system. Both long-term climate changes and day-to-day weather show links with the Sun`s activity. Scientists therefore study the nature of those links intensely. With data from ESA`s spaceprobes SOHO, Cluster, and Ulysses, we now have the... view more (2002-08-23)

A Warm South Pole? Yes, on Neptune!
An international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope has discovered that the south pole of Neptune is much hotter than the rest of the planet. This is consistent with the fact that it is late southern summer and this region has been in sunlight for about 40 years.   view more (2007-09-19)

Cranking up the volume-- Sounds travel farther underwater as world's oceans become more acidic
It is common knowledge that the world's oceans and atmosphere are warming as humans release more and more carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. However, fewer people realize that the chemistry of the oceans is also changing--seawater is becoming more acidic as carbon dioxide from the... view more (2008-09-30)

Chemistry & Industry - 5 August
NEWS High blood metal levels may be clue to autism (page 5) New research by a scientist in Scotland may provide a clue as to the cause of autism. Research has found that children with autism have unusually high levels of metal toxins in their blood that can 'compromise the immune system, which... view more (2002-07-31)
