Fear of water wars ungrounded
Water is a source of cooperation, rather than conflict, at least when it comes to armed conflict.

This is the somewhat surprising conclusion which... view more... (2003-11-12)

Final look at ESA's SMOS and Proba-2 satellites
As preparations for the launch of SMOS and Proba-2 continue on schedule, the engineers and technicians at the Russian launch site say goodbye as both satellites are encapsulated within the half-shells of the Rockot fairing. view more (2009-10-22)
Carbon dioxide emissions predicted to reduce density of Earth's outermost atmosphere by 2017
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, according to a team of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Pennsylvania State University (PSU). view more (2006-12-12)
Soil Passage Drinking Water Purification
Soil passage of surface water for drinking water production is effective enough in the removal of viruses. This is one of the conclusions of the research project of Jack Schijven. He hopes to earn his PhD on Monday 2 April at TU Delft. An example of soil passage is dune filtration. “The new law on water facilities states that the chance of a... view more... (2001-03-30)
A virtuous cycle: Safety in numbers for riders

Did comets flood Earth's oceans?
Did the Earth form with water locked into its rocks, which then gradually leaked out over millions of years? Or did the occasional impacting comet provide the Earth's oceans? The Ptolemy experiment on Rosetta may just find out"¦ The Earth needed a supply of water for its oceans, and the comets are large celestial icebergs - frozen... view more... (2004-06-16)

Americium Travels Along The Rivers
The Moscow radiochemists have developed and applied in practice new methods for analysis of transuranium elements in the environment objects. With the help of the most up-to-date techniques, they have investigated in detail the americium and plutonium migration paths in water and soils of some regions in Siberia and Southern Ural which are in... view more...

Does Facebook usage contribute to jealousy in relationships?
The more time college students spend on Facebook, the more likely they are to feel jealous toward their romantic partners, leading to more time on Facebook searching for additional information that will further fuel their jealousy, in an escalating cycle that may become addictive. view more (2009-08-07)
GROWing the next generation of water recycling plants
A vegetated rooftop recycling system has been developed that allows water to be used twice before it is flushed into the communal waste water system. view more (2005-12-09)
Brain malfunction explains dehydration in elderly
As Australia faces another hot, dry summer, scientists from Melbourne's Howard Florey Institute have warned that elderly people are at risk of becoming dehydrated because their brains underestimate how much water they need to drink to rehydrate. view more (2007-12-18)

Alzheimer's disease as a case of brake failure?
Rutgers researcher Karl Herrup and colleagues at Case Western Reserve University have discovered that a protein that suppresses cell division in brain cells effectively "puts the brakes" on the dementia that comes with Alzheimer's disease (AD). When the brakes fail, dementia results. view more (2008-06-25)
Satellite shows regional variation in warming from sun during solar cycle
A NASA satellite designed, built and controlled by the University of Colorado at Boulder is expected to help scientists resolve wide-ranging predictions about the coming solar cycle peak in 2012 and its influence on Earth's warming climate, according to the chief scientist on the project. view more (2007-11-14)

Surprising new water property discovered
At a microscopic level, water molecules behave rather like the needle of a compass. Just as the needle moves when surrounded by a magnetic field (such as that of the Earth), water molecules move slightly in one direction when there is an electric field. Or at least that is what physicists thought till now. Research at the Universitat... view more... (2004-05-13)
