Setting stars reveal planetary secrets
Watching the stars set from the surface of the Earth may be a romantic pastime but when a spacecraft does it from orbit, it can reveal hidden details about a planet's atmosphere.   view more (2007-11-06)

Satellite sniffs out chemical traces of atmospheric pollution
The recent Hague talks on global warming focused attention on the so-called greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. But these gases are only a part of the story. Mankind generates a wide variety of emissions that are changing the chemistry and composition of our planet~s atmosphere. Satellite... view more (2000-12-15)

Microbes use sunscreens too
Microbes can withstand extreme levels of atmospheric ultraviolet light (UV) by producing their own sunscreens. Unlike humans, some bugs may even be able to survive without any help from the ozone layer scientists heard today (Thursday 19 September) at the Society for General Microbiology autumn... view more (2002-08-28)

Even seaweeds get sunburned
It is red, it burns and itches: a sunburn on our skin. However, too much sun is not only bad for humans. Many plants react sensitively to an increased dose of ultraviolet radiation, too. Yet they are dependent on sunlight.   view more (2008-08-25)

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)

Ozone can affect heavier people more
A new study provides the first evidence that people with higher body mass index (BMI) may have a greater response to ozone than leaner people.   view more (2007-11-27)

Food could be made safer by surface decontamination with steam
Trials have been carried out using steam below, at, or above atmospheric pressure. As the pressure of the steam is increased, higher decontamination temperatures can be achieved. Comparative studies are also assessing the use of treatments with hot air, water immersion, infrared irradiation,... view more (1999-11-29)

Yes, Virginia, some snowflakes can look the same!
Snowflakes are one of the most recognizable and endearing symbols of winter. Their intricate shapes have been the inspiration for Christmas ornaments, jewelry and U.S. postage stamps. They are the subject of song, school projects and even scientific investigation, including a possible impact on... view more (2006-12-13)

ALIS a multi-eyed voyeur in a plasma universe
The Northern Lights are a visible result of physical processes in inner space. By studying the optical signal from the Northern Lights and similar phenomena, we can gain new knowledge about the physics behind them. In the long run such pure research may be of great importance for applications in... view more (2003-06-24)

By ice floe to the North Pole
At the end of August, an unusual expedition under Russian leadership will leave for the Arctic Ocean. One of the participants is Jürgen Graeser of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, one of the research centres of the Helmholtz Association.   view more (2007-07-23)

Ozone levels may raise risk of underweight births
Babies born to women exposed to high ozone levels during pregnancy are at heightened risk for being significantly underweight.   view more (2005-11-17)

Sunscreens from the sea
Tiny floating plants protect themselves against the damaging effects of the sun's ultra violet rays using compounds that may prove very useful to the skincare industry. Scientists at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory are now working with Boots Company plc to develop the potential of these natural... view more (2001-07-18)

ASU researchers use NASA satellites to improve pollution modeling
Detecting pollution, like catching criminals, requires evidence and witnesses; but on the scale of countries, continents and oceans, having enough detectors is easier said than done.   view more (2007-12-18)

NASA airborne expedition chases climate, ozone questions
NASA's Tropical Composition, Cloud and Climate Coupling (TC4) field campaign will begin this summer in San Jose, Costa Rica, with an investigation into how chemical compounds in the air are transported vertically into the stratosphere and how that transport affects cloud formation and climate.   view more (2007-06-28)

Gone With the Wind? Over A Hundred Scientists Take To The Skies To Track Global Air Pollution
This morning a team of forty scientists from seven UK universities will travel to the Azores to join hundreds more in the largest international atmospheric field campaign of its type ever attempted. The exciting mission will track and investigate a mass of polluted air as it leaves the United... view more (2004-07-08)

NASA study: Alaskan fires affected Houston air quality in 2004
An innovative new NASA-funded study based on a combination of satellite data, computer models and weather balloon readings finds that smoke from Alaskan and Canadian forest fires as much as doubled ground-level ozone thousands of miles away in Houston during a two-day period in July 2004.   view more (2006-09-22)

Press photo opportunity - University provides good clean fun at summer camp
Square bubbles, bubbles inside bubbles, bubbles as large as a hula-hoop and even dry-ice carbon-dioxide bubbles are making chemistry fun for schoolchildren from across the country in a summer chemistry camp at the University of York this week. (19-23 August). Fifty 15-year-olds will be learning how... view more (2002-08-20)

Link between ozone air pollution and premature death confirmed
Short-term exposure to current levels of ozone in many areas is likely to contribute to premature deaths, says a new National Research Council report, which adds that the evidence is strong enough that the US Environmental Protection Agency should include ozone-related mortality in health-benefit... view more (2008-04-23)

Founder's Lecture will Recognise the Success of Colloid Chemist
Professor Terence Cosgrove, University of Bristol, UK, will deliver the Founder's Lecture 'Chains and Bondage' at the Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) Headquarters, London on 21 April 2004. The Founder's Lecture is awarded to figures of distinction in the colloid or surface chemistry fields. A... view more (2004-04-19)
