Targeted drug delivery now possible with 'pHLIP' peptide
Scientists at Yale and the University of Rhode Island report the development of a peptide that can specifically and directly deliver molecules to the inside of cells like a nanosyringe, creating a new tool for drug delivery, gene control and imaging of diseased tissues.   view more (2006-04-12)

KTH research: Increased combustion reduces carbon dioxide emissions
New, previously overlooked technology could dramatically reduce emissions of carbon dioxide. Bio-energy facilities that capture carbon dioxide from combustion gases would even make it possible to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The idea of capturing carbon dioxide and storing... view more (2001-11-23)

EARLY PROMISE OF SIMPLE TEST FOR DIAGNOSING MALIGNANT HYPERTHERMIA (p 1579)
German authors of a research letter in this week’s issue of THE LANCET describe the potential of a straightforward test for identifying people at risk of the often fatal reaction to general anaesthetics, a syndrome known as malignant hyperthermia. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a... view more (2002-05-01)

Loose grip
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is contained in the air we exhale, and is also always formed when carbon-containing substances such as oil, gas, wood, and plastics are burned - it is omnipres-ent. Chemists have long been trying to convert this gas to something useful, and Koji Tanaka and coworkers from the... view more (1999-01-28)

Paired microbes eliminate methane using sulfur pathway
Anaerobic microbes in the Earth's oceans consume 90 percent of the methane produced by methane hydrates - methane trapped in ice - preventing large amounts of methane from reaching the atmosphere.   view more (2008-01-17)

CT colonography even safer than previously reported, says study
The safety profile for CT colonography (CTC) is extremely favorable, particularly for the purposes of screening patients with no symptoms and when distending the colon using an automated carbon dioxide technique, a finding that goes against the higher complication rates for CTC reported by other... view more (2006-05-02)

Fuel cells help make noisy, hot generators a thing of the past
Two core technologies developed at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory - a fuel desulfurization system and a fuel reforming system - were instrumental in the demonstration of an electric power system operating on JP-8, a fuel commonly used in military operations.   view more (2007-12-12)

New Separation Technology With Carbon Dioxide Is Cleaner And Cheaper
Researchers of Wageningen University and Research Centre in the Netherlands have developed a new clean, process to isolate valuable or undesired components from solids, such as components for food products. In contrast to other conventional processes, the new invention concerns a continuous process... view more (2004-07-05)

Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming.   view more (2005-09-08)

TREATING POLLUTED LAND WITH CARBON DIOXIDE
First a granular binder containing products which react with carbon is added to the contaminated soil and then carbon dioxide is pumped into the mixture. The three components rapidly combine to produce a cement that is very stable, and although marginally more expensive is immediately available for... view more (1999-11-25)

Calculations favor reducing atmopshere for early Earth
Using primitive meteorites called chondrites as their models, earth and planetary scientists at Washington University in St. Louis have performed outgassing calculations and shown that the early Earth's atmosphere was a reducing one, chock full of methane, ammonia, hydrogen and water vapor.   view more (2005-09-08)

UGA scientists discover bacterial 'switch gene' that regulates oceans' sulfur emissions into the air
The number of plankton in the seas is almost beyond comprehension. A single teaspoonful of ocean water holds several million of these microscopic drifters, and in recent years, scientists have discovered plankton are involved with everything from the health of the water to global warming.   view more (2006-10-27)

Mice use specialized neurons to detect carbon dioxide in the air
For mice, carbon dioxide often means danger - too many animals breathing in too small a space or a hungry predator exhaling nearby.   view more (2007-08-17)

Deep sea algae connect ancient climate, carbon dioxide and vegetation
Assistant Professor Mark Pagani in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale and his colleagues mapped the first detailed history of atmospheric carbon dioxide between 45-25 million years ago based on stable isotopes of carbon in a National Science Foundation study reported in Science... view more (2005-06-23)

Global warming predictions are overestimated, suggests study on black carbon
A detailed analysis of black carbon -- the residue of burned organic matter -- in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions.   view more (2008-11-20)

Unusual carbohydrate structure in the cell walls of tuberculosis bacteria-a new point of attack for drugs?
Even though we have lost much of our fear of tuberculosis in the industrialized countries, according to the WHO about 2 mio. people worldwide die each year of this infectious disease. Researchers at the University of Leeds have now discovered a carbohydrate with an unusual structure in the cell... view more (2004-07-27)

Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing may reduce wrinkles over long term
Carbon dioxide laser resurfacing appears to be an effective long-term treatment for facial wrinkles, according to a report in the July/August issue of Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.   view more (2008-07-22)

Dried distiller's grains can help produce more beef
Supplemental feeding of dried distiller's grains to cattle can help produce more beef in grazing programs, a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher said.   view more (2007-01-05)

Identification of carbon dioxide receptors in insects may help fight infectious disease
Mosquitoes don't mind morning breath. They use the carbon dioxide people exhale as a way to identify a potential food source. But when they bite, they can pass on a number of dangerous infectious diseases, such as malaria, yellow fever, and West Nile encephalitis.   view more (2006-12-14)

Fuel Emissions From Marine Vessels Remain a Global Concern
Marine vessels are no longer resting in a safe harbor. The forecast for clear skies and smooth sailing for oceanic vessels has been impeded by worldwide concerns of their significant contributions to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions that impact the Earth's climate.   view more (2008-09-10)

Thawing permafrost likely to boost global warming
The thawing of permafrost in northern latitudes, which greatly increases microbial decomposition of carbon compounds in soil, will dominate other effects of warming in the region and could become a major force promoting the release of carbon dioxide and thus further warming, according to a new... view more (2008-09-02)

Global warming of the future is projected by ancient carbon emissions
Global warming 55 million years ago suggests a high climate sensitivity to carbon dioxide, according to research led by Mark Pagani, associate professor of geology and geophysics at Yale and published in the December 8 issue of Science.   view more (2006-12-08)

Food source threatened by carbon dioxide
Carbon dioxide increasing in the atmosphere may affect the microbial life in the sea, which could have an impact on a major food source, warned Dr Ian Joint at a Science Media Centre press briefing today.   view more (2007-12-11)
