Coral reefs found growing in cold, deep ocean
Imagine descending in a submarine to the ice-cold, ink-black depths of the ocean, 800 metres under the surface of the Atlantic.   view more (2008-11-05)

Frozen methane chunks not responsible for abrupt increases in atmospheric methane
Icy chunks of frozen methane and water are not responsible for the periodic increases in atmospheric methane recorded in Greenland ice cores.   view more (2006-02-10)

Study yields mixed results on potential for pine trees to store extra carbon dioxide
Southern pines appear to grow and conserve water somewhat better in the carbon-dioxide-enriched atmosphere expected by mid-century, a Duke University study has found.   view more (2005-08-10)

Water vapor feedback is rapidly warming Europe
A new report indicates that the vast majority of the rapid temperature increase recently observed in Europe is likely due to an unexpected greenhouse gas: water vapor.   view more (2005-11-09)

Europe's largest climate change experiment launched
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have launched a large scale experiment to monitor the impact of climate change on freshwater systems.   view more (2006-01-18)

Two new studies reveal benefits of laparoscopic surgery for uterine cancer
In a pair of studies presented today at the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists 37th Annual Meeting on Women's Cancer, researchers have found in a large randomized trial of laparoscopy versus laparotomy for surgical treatment of uterine (endometrial) cancer that laparoscopy is safe, and when... view more (2006-03-27)

Ice Age North Atlantic temperatures, tropical oceans linked
Sudden shifts 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, according to research published Oct. 5 in the journal Nature.   view more (2006-10-05)

Mars under the spotlight again
Relieved UK scientists are celebrating the news that NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) appears to have smoothly entered Mars orbit on Friday night (March 10th).   view more (2006-03-14)

Rocks could reveal secrets of life on Earth - and Mars
A new UK project could help detect evidence for life on Mars, as well as improve our understanding of how it evolved on Earth. The aim is to develop a technique that can identify biomolecules in water that have been trapped in rocks for millions to billions of years. As well as analysing samples... view more (2003-10-09)

Plants' management of nutrient suggests environmental remedies
A new understanding of how plants manage their internal calcium levels could potentially lead to genetically engineering plants to avoid damage from acid rain, which robs soil of much of its calcium.   view more (2007-03-09)

Magnetic misfits: South seeking bacteria in the Northern Hemisphere
Magnetotactic bacteria contain chains of magnetic iron minerals that allow them to orient in the earth's magnetic field much like living compass needles.   view more (2006-01-23)

NASA's 'Deep Impact' Team Reports First Evidence of Cometary Ice
Comet Tempel 1, which created a flamboyant Fourth of July fireworks display in space last year, is covered with a small amount of water ice.   view more (2006-02-03)

Some masks used in children's asthma treatment not effective, research shows
Some face masks commonly used to help young children inhale asthma medicine are not effective, according to a new study by researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine.   view more (2006-02-06)

New report says human tampering threatens planet's life-sustaining surface
In a report released today, scientists call for a new systematic study of the Earth's "critical zone"-the life-sustaining outermost surface of the planet, from the vegetation canopy to groundwater and everything in between.Understanding and predicting responses to global and regional... view more (2006-08-02)

Electrons 'tunnel' through water molecules between nestled proteins
Duke University theoretical chemists who spend much of their time calculating how the exotic rules of quantum mechanics govern electrons motion between and through biological molecules have garnered surprising results when they add water to their models.   view more (2005-11-28)

NJIT chemists cook up new strain of carbon nanotubes
Kitchen chemistry is alive and well at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) as chemical researchers report cooking up a new and more water- soluble strain of carbon nanotubes.   view more (2006-02-09)

Hypnotherapy an effective treatment for IBS
Medics at The University of Manchester have discovered a way to treat Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) using hypnotherapy.   view more (2005-09-28)

Cold storage solution for global warming?
Researchers from the University of Leicester and the British Geological Society (BGS) have proposed storing CO2 in huge underground reservoirs as a way of reducing emissions- and have even identified sites in Western Europe that would be suitable.   view more (2007-02-07)

UCI scientists find chlorine may contribute to ozone formation
Standard methods of predicting air pollution don't take atmospheric chlorine into account, but the chemical could be responsible for 10 percent or more of daily ozone production in local air, research at UC Irvine has found.   view more (2006-06-14)

Researchers shed more light on conversion of water to hydrogen gas
Chemists are several steps closer to teasing hydrogen fuel from water using man-made molecular devices that collect electrons and use them to split hydrogen from oxygen.   view more (2005-08-29)

Scientists Uncover Critical Step in DNA Mutation
Scientists at the Georgia Institute of Technology have made an important step toward solving a critical puzzle relating to a chemical reaction that leads to DNA mutation, which underlies many forms of cancer.   view more (2006-08-24)

Modifications render carbon nanotubes nontoxic
In follow-on work to last year's groundbreaking toxicological study on water-soluble buckyballs, researchers at Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) find that water-soluble carbon nanotubes are significantly less toxic to begin with.   view more (2005-10-27)

A drug that is marketed to treat Alzheimer's disease also improves cognitive function, mood and quality of life in brain tumor patients following radiation therapy.   view more (2006-03-20)

Adherence to pneumonia treatment guidelines results in better outcomes
A carefully implemented system of pneumonia care can lead to better outcomes and fewer unnecessary hospitalizations, according to a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine study published in this week's issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.   view more (2005-12-20)

Where climate is made in a greenhouse world
New scientific results for the Late Cretaceous greenhouse indicate radically different climatic mechanisms operating about 75-90 million years ago compared to the ones that control today's climate.   view more (2006-06-02)
