Storing carbon to combat global warming may cause other environmental problems, study suggests
Growing tree plantations to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to mitigate global warming - so called "carbon sequestration" - could trigger environmental changes that outweigh some of the benefits, a multi-institutional team led by Duke University suggested in a new report.   view more (2005-12-23)

Salty taste preference linked to birth weight
A new study from the Monell Chemical Senses Center may shed light on why some people like salt more than others. The results suggest that a person's liking for salty taste may be related to how much they weighed when they were born.   view more (2005-12-08)

Walrus Calves Stranded by Melting Sea Ice
Scientists have reported an unprecedented number of unaccompanied and possibly abandoned walrus calves in the Arctic Ocean, where melting sea ice may be forcing mothers to abandon their pups as the mothers follow the rapidly retreating ice edge north.   view more (2006-04-14)

Beaver dams create healthy downstream ecosystems
Beavers, long known for their beneficial effects on the environment near their dams, are also critical to maintaining healthy ecosystems downstream.   view more (2006-06-06)

U of M researchers invent 'flashy' new process to turn soy oil, glucose into hydrogen
Anyone who's overheated vegetable oil or sweet syrup knows that neither oil nor sugar evaporates-oil smokes and turns brown, sugar turns black, and both leave a nasty film of carbon on the cookware.   view more (2006-11-03)

Mars meteorite similar to bacteria-etched earth rocks
A new study of a meteorite that originated from Mars has revealed a series of microscopic tunnels that are similar in size, shape and distribution to tracks left on Earth rocks by feeding bacteria.   view more (2006-03-24)

Identifying the 'signatures' of protons in water
Free protons from acids associate with 1, 2 or 3 molecules of water and the structures can be identified by unique infrared laser spectrum signatures, according to a report in Science by Yale professor of chemistry Mark A. Johnson and his collaborators at Yale, the University of Pittsburgh and the... view more (2005-07-14)

Paying peanuts for clean water
Peanut husks, one of the biggest food industry waste products, could be used to extract environmentally damaging copper ions from waste water, according to researchers in Turkey.   view more (2007-11-08)

Rice develops first method to sort nanotubes by size
Rice University scientists have developed the first method for sorting semiconducting carbon nanotubes based on their size, a long-awaited development that could form the basis of a nanotube purification system capable of producing the necessary feedstocks for nano-circuits, therapeutic agents,... view more (2006-06-26)

Reservoirs may accelerate the spread of invasive aquatic species, researchers say
Just as disturbance makes a landscape susceptible to invasion by alien plant species, the construction of reservoirs around the globe could be contributing to the accelerating spread of exotic aquatic species.   view more (2005-05-31)

Hebrew University researchers uncover eight previously unknown species
Discovery of eight previously unknown, ancient animal species within "a new and unique underground ecosystem" in Israel was revealed today by Hebrew University of Jerusalem researchers.   view more (2006-05-31)

Mars -- Red Planet once blue planet
A team of Canadian and U.S. researchers have uncovered evidence that ragged, kilometre-high undulating features on the surface of Mars were shorelines of massive ancient oceans that once covered one-third of the planet in water.   view more (2007-06-14)

New 'liquid lens' data for immersion lithography
New data on the properties of potential "liquid lenses" compiled by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) could help the semiconductor industry continue to shrink feature sizes on computer chips.   view more (2006-03-21)

Genes hold secret of survival of Antarctic 'antifreeze fish'
A genetic study of a fish that lives in the icy waters off Antarctica sheds light on the adaptations that enable it to survive in one of the harshest environments on the planet.   view more (2008-10-17)

Saturn's rings have own atmosphere
Data from the NASA/ESA/ASI Cassini spacecraft indicate that Saturn's majestic ring system has its own atmosphere-separate from that of the planet itself.   view more (2005-08-18)

Past droughts geographically widespread in the West, according to tree-ring data
When it's dry, it's dry all over, according to a new analysis of more than 400 years of annual streamflow in the Upper Colorado and Salt and Verde river basins.   view more (2005-08-19)

Mixing it, Southern Ocean style
Sea water being churned in the ocean off Antarctica may be having a greater effect on global patterns of ocean movement than previously thought, according to new research reported in this week's edition of the international journal Science (9 January 2004).   view more (2004-01-05)

ON TRAILS OF ANCIENT SEA GRASSES
Paleobotanists from St. Petersburg have found that ancestry of sea grasses had come to sea from desert 40 million years ago. The study was supported by International Science Foundation, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C., and by Linnean Society of London. It is not easy to reconstruct how... view more (2000-12-01)

Paramecia Adapt Their Swimming to Changing Gravitational Force
For many single-celled organisms living in water, the force is always against them. The classic example is the slipper-shaped paramecium, which consistently swims harder going up than going down, just to keep from sinking.   view more (2006-09-19)

Brown University Geologists Create 5-Million-Year Climate Record
Using chemical clues mined from ocean mud, Brown University researchers have generated the longest continuous record of ocean temperatures on Earth.   view more (2006-04-07)

Researchers link Ice Age climate-change records to ocean salinity
Sudden decreases in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last Ice Age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2006-10-05)

Sharp views show ground ice on Mars is patchy and variable
For the first time, scientists have found that water ice lies at variable depths over small-scale patches on the Red Planet. The discovery draws a much more detailed picture of underground ice on Mars than was previously available. The new results appear in the May 3, 2007, issue of the scientific... view more (2007-05-03)

Discovery of Antarctic subglacial rivers may challenge excavation plans
Plans to drill deep beneath the frozen wastes of the Antarctic, to investigate subglacial lakes where ancient life is thought to exist, may have to be reviewed following a discovery by a British team led by UCL (University College London) scientists at the Natural Environment Research Council... view more (2006-04-20)

NIST's new advanced imaging facility peers inside hydrogen fuel cells
Thanks to a new and improved imaging instrument at the Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), scientists now can conduct detailed surveillance on the comings and goings of water inside hydrogen fuel cells-a piece of intelligence key to making the technology... view more (2006-08-21)

NCAR climate expert: Hurricanes to intensify as Earth warms
Warmer oceans, more moisture in the atmosphere, and other factors suggest that human-induced climate change will increase hurricane intensity and rainfall, according to climate expert Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research.   view more (2005-06-16)
