European Water Directive: Optical sensors detect minute amounts of pollutants
Minute amounts of organic pollutants-including oestrone-can now be detected in river water as a result of a new optical sensing instrument realised in a project funded by the EU's Environment Programme. view more (2004-09-01)
Pecan trees benefit from thinning technique
Pecan trees, like many fruit trees, have a tendency to bear fruit in cycles, producing a large crop in one or two years, followed by one or two years with little or no crop. view more (2009-11-04)
Fluoridated water for Queensland ... at last
Griffith University's School of Dentistry and Oral Health welcomes the Queensland Government's decision to introduce fluoride into the public drinking water - a measure endorsed by all major international and Australian health bodies as the best way to prevent dental decay. view more (2007-12-07)
Water fluoridation still a cost-effective preventive measure
Teams of investigators from the University of Melbourne and New South Wales Health today reported the results of a project investigating the impact of changing dental needs on the cost savings from community water fluoridation in Melbourne, Australia. view more (2006-06-30)
Young engineer to give water the treatment after receiving a prestigious bursary
Rita Henderson, 24, has been awarded the prestigious £7000 Sir Angus Paton Bursary from the Royal Academy of Engineering. She will be using this award to fund her MSc studies at Cranfield University in Water Pollution Control Technology. After receiving a First Class Honours degree in Environmental Chemistry at the University of Edinburgh,... view more... (2003-10-23)
Software tool helps protect Nation's drinking water: Now available in all 50 states
A new software tool that can be used by incident commanders, water utility managers, and others to protect community drinking water sources from contamination during emergencies is now available in all 50 states. view more (2006-10-12)
Once-fatal metabolic disorders treatable, says Stanford/Packard researcher
People with a class of rare genetic disorders that often lead to brain damage, coma and death can be successfully treated with drugs, says a researcher at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. view more (2007-05-31)
Getting into hot water
An analysis of the engineering and economics for a solar water-heating system shows it to have a payback period of just two years, according to researchers in India. They report, in the International Journal of Global Energy Issues, on the success of the 1000-liter system operating at a university hostel. view more (2009-03-09)
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)
Climate Change Affecting Earth's Outermost Atmosphere
Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels will produce a 3 percent reduction in the density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017 view more (2006-12-12)
Simulations help explain fast water transport in nanotubes
By discovering the physical mechanism behind the rapid transport of water in carbon nanotubes, scientists at the University of Illinois have moved a step closer to ultra-efficient, next-generation nanofluidic devices for drug delivery, water purification and nano-manufacturing. view more (2008-09-17)
Identifying the 'signatures' of protons in water
Free protons from acids associate with 1, 2 or 3 molecules of water and the structures can be identified by unique infrared laser spectrum signatures, according to a report in Science by Yale professor of chemistry Mark A. Johnson and his collaborators at Yale, the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Georgia. view more (2005-07-14)
Hotter is better for removing allergens in laundry
A new study finds that the heat setting you choose when doing laundry makes all the difference when it comes to killing dust mites. view more (2007-05-21)
CRANFIELD PUMPS WATER TO UGANDA
A new drilling rig developed by Cranfield University at Silsoe as part of the research project, "Private Sector Participation in Low Cost Water Well Drilling in Africa" received it's first public demonstration this week. The project aims to place new water supply technology in the hands of small private sector contractors in African... view more... (2000-09-26)
Study of agricultural watersheds and carbon losses
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) losses from tile drains are an underquantified portion of the terrestrial carbon cycle. view more (2009-06-22)
Researchers develop better membranes for water treatment, drug delivery
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new generation of biomimetic membranes for water treatment and drug delivery. view more (2007-11-30)
Climate models help scientists understand global shifts in water availability
USGS scientists have a clearer picture of global shifts in water availability after examining a century of streamflow measurements from 165 locations around the world. view more (2005-11-17)
Virginia Tech's System X supercomputer provides super tool for simulation of cell division
Virginia Tech researchers in computer science and biology have used the university's supercomputer, System X, to create models and algorithms that make it possible to simulate the cell cycle — the processes leading to cell division. view more (2007-01-31)
Urine collected and purified separately
From an environmental and cost perspective, it is a good idea to collect and purify urine separately, rather than simply allowing it to flow into the sewer view more (2006-06-23)
Parasites might spur evolution of strange amphibian breeding habits
Parasites can decimate amphibian populations, but one University of Georgia researcher believes they might also play a role in spurring the evolution of new and sometimes bizarre breeding strategies. view more (2007-11-15)
