Suprising discovery may lead to new understanding of water quality
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory have discovered new ways that ions interact with mineral surfaces in water, opening a door to new knowledge on how contaminants travel in the environment. The insight, leads to a better understanding of the factors that determine water quality. view more (2006-07-12)
Weird water: Discovery challenges long-held beliefs about water's special properties
Beyond its role as the elixir of all life, water is a very unusual substance: Scientists have long marveled over counter-intuitive properties that set water apart from other solids and liquids commonly found in nature. view more (2008-01-21)
Behavior modification could ease concerns about nanoparticles
In an advance that could help ease health and environmental concerns about the emerging nanotechnology industry, scientists are reporting development of technology for changing the behavior of nanoparticles in municipal sewage treatment plants - their main gateway into the environment. view more (2009-11-12)
Archerfish tune their shots to universal properties of prey adhesion
Archerfish exhibit the remarkable ability to hunt for insects and other small terrestrial animals by firing precisely aimed streams of water that knock prey onto the water's surface. view more (2006-10-10)
Magnetic misfits: South seeking bacteria in the Northern Hemisphere
Magnetotactic bacteria contain chains of magnetic iron minerals that allow them to orient in the earth's magnetic field much like living compass needles. view more (2006-01-23)
University of Oregon researcher finds that on water's surface, nitric acid is not so tough
Nitric acid is a notoriously strong and chemically destructive compound found in water on earth and in our atmosphere. However, a team of researchers have found that its punch is much weaker when it sits on the top of a water surface. view more (2007-08-21)
Children's perceptions of their parents' antisocial behavior may lead them to be antisocial
Children who grow up in antisocial families are more likely to be antisocial themselves. Much of the research into why this is so has focused on parents' behavior. view more (2007-02-07)
Forget the freezer: Research suggests novel way to control water behavior
Researchers may be able to "freeze" water into a solid, not by cooling but by confining it to narrow spaces less than one-millionth of a millimeter wide, according to new results from an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers. view more (2009-02-23)
Water theory is watertight, researchers say
There may be tiny bubbles in the wine, but not at the interface between water and a waxy coating on glass, a new study shows. view more (2007-01-18)
Atomic force microscopy reveals liquids adjust viscosity when confined, shaken
Getting ketchup out of the bottle isn't always easy. However, shaking the bottle before trying to pour allows the thick, gooey ketchup to flow more freely because it becomes more fluid when agitated. The opposite is not typically true - a liquid such as water does not become a gel when shaken. view more (2008-04-30)
The secret lives of sea slugs
It turns out that the sea slug isn't really that sluggish after all. So says the first broad field study of this charismatic orange creature's behavior in the wild. view more (2006-05-04)
European award to researcher on adolescence
The European Association for Research on Adolescence (EARA) awards a biennial prize to a young researcher who has made significant contributions to the field of research on adolescence. At a conference in Oxford, September 3-6, 2002, the EARA Young Scholar Award will be conferred upon Henrik Andershed “in appreciation of his excellent... view more... (2002-09-03)
Research Examines the Connection Between Substance Abuse and Violence
Approximately 50 percent of Americans over the age of 12 currently drink alcohol, according to a 2003 report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. view more (2007-10-10)
Reading and behavior problems intertwined in boys
It's been known for more than a decade that children with reading problems, particularly boys, also tend to have behavior problems, and vice versa. view more (2006-02-09)
Tonsillectomy associated with improved sleep and behavior in children with breathing disorders
Children diagnosed with sleep-disordered breathing appear to sleep better and have improved behavior following removal of their tonsils and adenoids. view more (2007-10-16)
2002 Stockholm Water Prize Winner Announcement
The recipient of the 2002 Stockholm Water Prize, the leading international award for outstanding achievements on behalf of the world's water, will be announced in Stockholm on March 22 in a press conference at 11.00, Central European Time. The $150,000 Stockholm Water Prize is being presented by the Stockholm Water Foundation for the 12th time.... view more... (2002-02-04)
Past experience of pheromones induces dominant courtship behavior in fruit flies
By investigating the interplay between pheromone signaling and behavior in fruit flies, researchers have begun to understand how an adult fly's earlier experience as a young individual can influence its behavior towards other flies as an adult. view more (2005-10-11)
UC Engineering Researchers Uncover Factors That Control Ion Motion in Solid Electrolytes — Coming to a Pacemaker Near You
University of Cincinnati researchers show for the first time that they can connect an increase in electrical (ionic) conductivity with flexibility of their networks. The same team of researchers discovered intermediate phases seven years ago in amorphous or disordered materials where networks are covalently bonded. view more (2007-05-09)
Water is 'designer fluid' that helps proteins change shape, scientists say
Ubiquitous on Earth, water also has been found in comets, on Mars and in molecular clouds in interstellar space. Now, scientists say this common fluid is not as well understood as we thought. view more (2008-08-07)
Remotely Operated Vehicles and Satellite Tags Aid Turtle Studies
Researchers are using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and satellite-linked data loggers to learn more about turtle behavior in commercial fishing areas and to develop new ways to avoid catching turtles in fishing gear. view more (2009-10-29)
