Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers find ginseng may improve breast cancer outcomes
Ginseng, one of the most widely used herbs in traditional Chinese medicine, may improve survival and quality of life after a diagnosis of breast cancer, according to a recent study by Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center researchers. view more (2006-03-16)
Argonne tests validate BMW Hydrogen 7 emissions well-below SULEV
Independent tests conducted by engineers at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory on a BMW Hydrogen 7 Mono-Fuel demonstration vehicle have found that the car's hydrogen-powered engine surpasses the super-ultra low-emission vehicle (SULEV) level, the most stringent emissions performance standard to date. view more (2008-03-31)
Are we trading energy conservation for toxic air emissions?
A team of Yale scientists has found that certain countries and some U.S. states stand to benefit from the use of compact fluorescent lighting more than others in the fight against global warming. Some places may even produce more mercury emissions by switching from incandescent light bulbs to compact fluorescent lighting. view more (2008-10-01)
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 it in bedrock is not actually new. In recent... view more... (2001-11-23)
The evolutionary foundation of genomic imprinting in lower vertebrates
A Chinese scientist group working in College of Life Science, Zhejiang University, has shown that, as mammalian Igf2 CpG island, goldfish Igf2 CpG island has a parental differentially methylated region (DMR). view more (2009-05-18)
Press Invitation: The Bonn Agreement on the Kyoto Protocol - examining the outcomes

Controversial new climate change results
New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now. view more (2009-11-11)
Power plants are major influence in regional mercury emissions
The amount of mercury emitted into the atmosphere in the Northeast fluctuates annually depending on activity in the electric power industry, according to researchers at the Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies. view more (2006-07-24)
Chinese acupuncture affects brain's ability to regulate pain, UM study shows
Acupuncture has been used in East-Asian medicine for thousands of years to treat pain, possibly by activating the body's natural painkillers. But how it works at the cellular level is largely unknown. view more (2009-08-10)
VTT opens research lab for heavy vehicle emissions
VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland opens a new lab which is comprehensive and significant measured even by international standards. VTT`s new research laboratory for research of heavy duty vehicles will focus on truck and bus energy and emissions research. With the laboratory`s comprehensive facilities, it will be possible to combine VTT`s... view more... (2002-03-26)
Smithsonian scientists highlight environmental impacts of biofuels
Biofuels reduce greenhouse-gas emissions in comparison to fossil fuels. In the Jan. 4 issue of the journal Science, Smithsonian researchers highlight a new study that factors in environmental costs of biofuel production. Corn, soy and sugarcane come up short. view more (2008-01-04)
Scientists issue Bali climate change warning
More than 200 leading climate scientists have today warned the United Nations Climate Conference of the need to act immediately to cut greenhouse gas emissions, with a window of only 10-15 years for global emissions to peak and decline, and a goal of at least a 50 per cent reduction by 2050. view more (2007-12-07)
Carbon sinks losing the battle with rising emissions
The stabilising influence that land and ocean carbon sinks have on rising carbon emissions is gradually weakening, say scientists attending this week's international Copenhagen Climate Change Conference. view more (2009-03-17)
Biofuels: More than just ethanol
As the United States looks to alternate fuel sources, ethanol has become one of the front runners. Farmers have begun planting corn in the hopes that its potential new use for corn will be a new income source. view more (2007-04-06)
Academy of Finland and National Natural Science Foundation of China enhance their collaboration
Academy of Finland and National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) fund four co-operation projects in the fields of population biology, forest sciences, signal processing algorithm and chemical engineering. The Academy of Finland funds the Finnish part, while NSFC funds the Chinese part of the project. The Academy's share of funding for... view more... (2002-07-19)
Tackling climate change with new permits to pollute
A new way to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and tackle climate change had been unveiled by leading economists. view more (2009-01-06)
Scrubbing sulfur
The Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has developed a reusable organic liquid that can pull harmful gases such as carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide out of industrial emissions from power plants. view more (2009-08-18)
Brazil demonstrating that reducing tropical deforestation is key win-win global warming solution
Tropical deforestation is the source of nearly a fifth of annual, human-induced emissions of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere. view more (2007-05-16)
Siberian lakes burp "time-bomb" greenhouse gas
Frozen bubbles in Siberian lakes are releasing methane, a greenhouse gas, at rates that appear to be "... five times higher than previously estimated" and acting as a positive feedback to climate warming, said Katey Walter, in a paper published today in the journal Nature. view more (2006-09-08)
Nitrous oxide from ocean microbes
A large amount of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide is produced by bacteria in the oxygen poor parts of the ocean using nitrites, Dr Mark Trimmer told journalists at a Science Media Centre press briefing today. view more (2007-12-11)
