Arctic soil may contain nearly twice greenhouse-gas producing orgainic material than previously estimated. A team of scientists dug down more tha one meter into the permafraost to take soil sample from more than 100 sites throughout Alaska. After Analyzing the samples, the research team discovered a previously undocumented layer of organic matter on the top of and in the upper part of permafros...

Telescopes on the ground and in the space have teamed up to compose a colorful image that offers a fresh look at the history of the star-studded region NGC 346. This new, ethereal portrait, in which different wavelengths of light swirl together like watercolors, reveals new information about how stars form.

Two Americans, one of Chinese origin, and a Japanese scientist won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry Wednesday for discorying and developing a glowing jellyfish protein that revolutionised the ability to study disease and normal development in living organisms. Thus the environment for researching is very important.

Why do some people have the ability to remain calm and relaxed even in the most stressul situation? New experiments in mice by Howard Hughed Medical Institute(HHMI) researchers are provifing insight into how the brain changes when the animals learn to feel safe and secure in situations that would normally make them anxious.

2 months ago
Research at Purdue University suggests synthetic carbon molecules called fullerences, or buckyballs, have a high potential of being accmulated in animal tissue, but the molecules also appear to break down in sunlight, perhaps reducing their possible environmental dangers.

2 months ago
The cause of diseases such as BSE in cattle and Creutzfeld-Jakob desease in humans is a prion protein. This protein attaches to cell membranes by way of an anchor made of sugar and lipid components anchor. The anchoring of the prions seems to hace a strong influence on the transformation of the noemal form of the protein into its pathogenic form, which causes scarpie and mad cow disease.

Toxins in food often have a bad, bitter taste that makes people to spit them out. New UN Irvine research finds that bitterness also slows the digestive progress, keeping bad food in the stomach longer and increasing the chances that it will be expelled.

2 months ago
Austronomers have used ESO's very large Telescope Interferometer to conduct the firsthigh resolution survey that combines spectroscopy and interferometry onintermediate-mass infant stars. They obtained a very precise view of the processes acting in the discs that feed stars as they form. These mechinisms include material infalling onto the star as well as gas being ejected, probably as a wind f...
