Bio-inspired assembly of nanoparticle building blocks
Chemists at Rice University have discovered how to assemble gold and silver nanoparticle building blocks into larger structures based on a novel method that harkens back to one of nature's oldest known chemical innovations - the self-assembly of lipid membranes that surround every living cell.   view more (2006-11-28)

Iowa State researchers explore turning fuel ethanol into beverage alcohol
Fuel ethanol could be cheaply and quickly converted into the purer, cleaner alcohol that goes into alcoholic drinks, cough medicines, mouth washes and other products requiring food-grade alcohol, say Iowa State University researchers.   view more (2006-08-28)

Textbook explanation of mRNA translation may need rethinking
Our understanding of how messenger RNAs are translated into proteins is challenged by new research published today in the Open Access journal Journal of Biology.   view more (2005-06-27)

Alternative farming cleans up water
Although the addition of nutrients to soil helps to maximize crop production, fertilizer can leach nutrients, polluting the water supply.   view more (2007-07-20)

Washington Getting a Summertime Air Quality Exam
Summer in the city can often mean sweltering "bad air days" that threaten the health of the elderly, children and those with respiratory problems. This summer the nation's capitol has been no stranger to such severe air-quality alerts.   view more (2006-08-07)

Dartmouth researchers find that low doses of arsenic have broad impact on hormone activity
Dartmouth Medical School investigators are learning more about how low doses of arsenic, such as the levels found in drinking water in many areas of the United States, affect human physiology.   view more (2006-12-05)

Increase in ethanol production from corn could significantly impact
If projected increases in the use of corn for ethanol production occur, the harm to water quality could be considerable, and water supply problems at the regional and local levels could also arise, says a new report from the National Research Council.   view more (2007-10-11)

Cowpeas could add sustainability to cropping systems
Ground left fallow in the High Plains to store soil moisture between crops may be better off with a legume crop such as cowpeas, according to a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station researcher.   view more (2005-10-13)

Latest fuel cell material advance overcomes low humidity conductivity problem
Fuel cells have been a workable technology for decades - but expensive and lacking in infrastructure. In recent years, researchers have addressed durability, manufacturability, and conductivity challenges in alternative proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials for fuel cells - bringing the... view more (2006-09-11)

Study shows enzyme builds neurotransmitters via newly discovered pathway
The new study describes a pathway-different than the one previously suggested-for the biosynthesis of neurotransmitter lipids, N-acyl ethanolamines (NAEs), which include the endogenous cannabinoid ("endocannabinoid") anandamide.   view more (2006-09-12)

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)

Study Finds Subglacial Water in West Antarctica Considerably More Active Than Previously Observed
The recent discovery of a subglacial water system beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) is causing scientists to rethink the mechanisms that control the flow of ice streams into the Ross Ice Shelf and ultimately into the Southern Ocean, according to a report in the February 15, 2007, issue of... view more (2007-02-16)
