Scientists learning to create nanomaterials based on micro-algae patterns
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a technique to study how unicellular micro-algae, known as diatoms, create their complex cell walls. Researchers hope to learn how diatoms assemble these nanometer-patterned, intricate micro-architectures to find better methods for creating nanomaterials in the laboratory. view more (2006-12-07)
Cranking up the volume-- Sounds travel farther underwater as world's oceans become more acidic
It is common knowledge that the world's oceans and atmosphere are warming as humans release more and more carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. However, fewer people realize that the chemistry of the oceans is also changing--seawater is becoming more acidic as carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the oceans. view more (2008-09-30)
Sweet smell
What makes one smell pleasant and another odious? Is there something in the chemistry of a substance that can serve to predict how we will perceive its smell? view more (2007-09-18)
Is Your Drinking Water Safe?
Lake Bloomington is a major source of drinking water for residents of Bloomington, IL, and has a history of nitrate concentrations that exceed safe levels. Because Lake Bloomington has a record of elevated nitrate levels, local residents are concerned over their drinking water quality. view more (2008-02-29)
Green catalyst destroys pesticides and munitions toxins

`Glowing` technique could detect river pollution
New technology used to analyse dissolved organic matter in river water could also help scientists detect and monitor pollution, according to a new research published in the journal Hydrological Processes (1). Dissolved organic matter is found in all river water, and can come from both a natural source such as the soil, as well as human sources... view more... (2002-10-07)
ESRF helps reveal the origin of the Solar System
Particles returned to Earth last January by the Stardust spacecraft from comet Wild 2 are yielding precious information about the origin of the solar system, thanks to the brilliant X-rays produced at several of the world's synchrotron facilities, including the ESRF. view more (2006-12-18)

Compound reveals new link between signaling protein and cell migration
University of Illinois at Chicago researchers report that a protein that regulates key signaling pathways in cells also plays a role in controlling the active movement or migration of cells. view more (2005-09-26)
Arsenic discharged from landfills, says Dartmouth research
A group of researchers at Dartmouth have studied the concentrations of toxic metals at the former Coakley Landfill in North Hampton, N.H. They've found that while the level of iron and some other contaminants decreased, the level of arsenic slightly increased. view more (2005-12-05)
Study breaks ice on ancient Arctic thaw
A new analysis of ocean-floor sediments collected near the North Pole finds that the Arctic was extremely warm, unusually wet and ice-free the last time massive amounts of greenhouse gases were released into the Earth's atmosphere - a prehistoric period 55 million years ago. view more (2006-08-10)
More biogas, less sludge
Germany has more than 10,000 sewage plants, using costly processes to treat household, industrial and restaurant waste water. The treated water is discharged back into river and lake systems. What remains is an organic / inorganic mixture of sludge. The issue is how to dispose of this residue. Up to now, sewage sludge has been used as an... view more... (2002-11-14)
Poorer farmers benefit most from organic practices
Farmers in developing countries are reaping the benefits of adopting 'green' agricultural practices far more than their western counterparts, suggests a report published today, Thursday 14 February 2002. The report by Nicolas Parrott at Cardiff University's Department of City and Regional Planning will be launched by German Agriculture and... view more... (2002-02-12)
Conventional plowing is 'skinning our agricultural fields'
Traditional plow-based agricultural methods and the need to feed a rapidly growing world population are combining to deplete the Earth's soil supply, a new study confirms. view more (2007-08-09)
Turning green gunk to gold, anti-cancer gold
Combining synthetic chemistry techniques with a knowledge of the properties and actions of enzymes, scientists have been able to produce an exciting class of anti-cancer drugs originally isolated from blue-green algae. view more (2007-01-10)
