What can a magnet tell you about rain patterns? More than you would guess
If someone said you can understand rain patterns and the dynamics of the atmosphere by studying magnets and magnetism — and therefore make better predictions of the effects of global warming — would you think he's crazy? Brilliant?   view more (2006-06-22)

Rivers on Titan, one of Saturn's moons, resemble those on Earth
Recent evidence from the Huygens Probe of the Cassini Mission suggests that Titan, the largest moon orbiting Saturn, is a world where rivers of liquid methane sculpt channels in continents of ice.   view more (2005-12-06)

Corn waste potentially more than ethanol
After the corn harvest, whether for cattle feed or corn on the cob, farmers usually leave the stalks and stems in the field, but now, a team of Penn State researchers think corn stover can be used not only to manufacture ethanol, but to generate electricity directly.   view more (2006-07-20)

Predicting species abundance in the face of habitat loss
Habitat loss poses the greatest threat to the survival of a species, and often precipitates the demise of top predators and wide-ranging animals, like the Siberian tiger and the orangutan.   view more (2006-09-26)

Droughts and reservoirs: Finding storage space underground
Odd as it sounds, in some places the smartest way to safeguard the water supply is to let it drain out of the reservoirs and soak into the ground.   view more (2006-09-19)

Subproducts resulting from disinfecting drinkable water

Nanoscale study gives new insight into heat transfer in biological systems
One of the first things we learn in chemistry class is that solids conduct heat better than liquids. But a new study suggests that in nanoscale materials, this is not necessarily the case.   view more (2005-10-21)

Scientists want to solve puzzle of excess water vapor near cirrus clouds
A number of researchers in recent years have reported perplexing findings of water vapor at concentrations as much as twice what they should be in and around cirrus clouds high in the atmosphere, a finding that could alter some conclusions about climate change.   view more (2006-12-01)
