Algae provide new clues to cancer
A microscopic green alga helped scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies identify a novel function for the retinoblastoma protein (RB), which is known for its role as a tumor suppressor in mammalian cells. view more (2006-10-13)
New ovarian stimulation technique offers more cancer patients the chance to preserve their fertility
Researchers have shown for the first time that it is possible to stimulate a woman's ovaries to produce eggs for collection during the final phase of the menstrual cycle. view more (2008-07-08)
Warm water vibrates for longer
Dutch researcher Arjan Lock has investigated the behaviour of vibrating water molecules. Using ultra-short laser pulses, he found that hydrogen atoms in water molecules vibrate for longer at higher temperatures. This is abnormal because in the majority of substances a vibration lives shorter at higher temperatures. Lock studied the OH-stretch... view more... (2004-02-05)
Dirty snow causes early runoff in Cascades, Rockies
Soot from pollution causes winter snowpacks to warm, shrink and warm some more. This continuous cycle sends snowmelt streaming down mountains as much as a month early, a new study finds. view more (2009-01-12)
Balancing Use to Fill Today`s Gaps and Meet Tomorrow`s Needs: Water for People, Food and Environment Stockholm Water Symposium in August is last major global water forum before UN development summit in South Africa
To feed the planet`s 8 billion inhabitants in 2025, the world will need as much extra water simply for food production as is currently in use for - but not yet satisfying - our drinking, sanitation, industrial and irrigation needs. From where will this new water come? That question will be explored August 12 - 15 by attendees at the 2002... view more... (2002-08-06)
Cleaning up pollutants with sunlight
A cheap, harmless chemical and sunlight could provide an environmentally friendly way of destroying micro-pollutants in the environment. UK researchers are developing a new type of reactor to destroy persistent contaminants such as pesticides and pharmaceutical residues. The technology, which breaks down the polluting molecules into carbon... view more... (2002-10-23)
Study of espresso coffee quality
The preparation of Espresso Coffee (EC) is influenced by factors related to the coffee and water and other technical conditions related to the machine. Susana Andueza has presented her doctoral thesis about Influence of technological variables on espresso coffee quality. Antioxidant and pro-oxidant capacity of coffee in the University of Navarre.... view more... (2004-02-12)
Stowers Institute's Hawley Lab identifies factors responsible for restart of meiotic cycle
The Stowers Institute's Hawley Lab has identified a pair of proteins that work in concert to restart the meiotic cycle of oocytes following a natural period of dormancy. view more (2007-12-05)
Beavers can help ease drought
They may be considered pests, but beaver can help mitigate the effects of drought, and because of that, their removal from wetlands to accommodate industrial, urban and agricultural demands should be avoided, according to a new University of Alberta study. view more (2008-02-21)
Calcite, a filter for water-borne arsenic?
An experiment at the Institut Laue-Langevin raises great hopes. view more (2005-02-10)
Nitrate Concentrations of Ground Water Increasing in Many Areas of the United States
Nitrate is the most common chemical contaminant in the world's ground water, including in aquifers used for drinking-water supply. view more (2008-09-18)
Hot climate could shut down plate tectonics
A new study of possible links between climate and geophysics on Earth and similar planets finds that prolonged heating of the atmosphere can shut down plate tectonics and cause a planet's crust to become locked in place. view more (2008-05-13)
Climate change has surprising effect on endangered naked carp
Forthcoming in the January/February 2007 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, a groundbreaking study reveals an unanticipated way freshwater fish may respond to water diversion and climate change. view more (2006-12-20)
Gaiker co-ordinates a world-wide project for the reuse of purified wastewater
Gaiker is co-ordinating a world project for the reuse of purified wastewater and the aim of which is to study the possibility of using this as an alternative water resource. Just in the European Union, the implementation of strategies for the reuse of purified wastewater would enable the availability of water to be increased by 6%, which would... view more...

Changing climate will lead to devastating loss of phosphorus from soil
Crop growth, drinking water and recreational water sports could all be adversely affected if predicted changes in rainfall patterns over the coming years prove true, according to research published this month in Biology and Fertility of Soils. view more (2009-04-15)
TU Delft tests windmill for seawater desalination
A traditional windmill which drives a pump: that is the simple concept behind the combination of windmill/reverse osmosis developed by the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in The Netherlands. In this case, it involves a high-pressure pump which pushes water through a membrane using approximately 60 bar. This reverse osmosis membrane... view more... (2008-03-03)
Study finds hereditary link to premenstrual depression
A specific genetic variation may be tied to an increased risk for severe premenstrual depression, scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the National Institute of Mental Health have found. view more (2007-07-18)
Safe water? Lessons from Kazakhstan
Despite significant efforts to improve access to safe water and sanitation, a new report co-authored by an expert at The University of Nottingham, argues that much more needs to be done. view more (2008-04-30)
Naked turkey
WHAT`S the secret of great-tasting Christmas turkey? Let it get naked. Whipping the foil off a cooking turkey to allow the skin to brown induces a previously unrecognised process that concentrates the meat flavours at the surface. Chefs have always known that browning the bird with direct heat creates flavour. But more important than the heat,... view more... (2001-12-19)
Countering an Approaching Water Crisis
As growing demand for clean water stretches even the resources of the world's largest industrialized nations, scientists and engineers are turning to new technology and novel ideas to find solutions. view more (2008-03-24)
