| Novel chemical route to form organic molecules Posted: 13 Jan 2012 07:20 AM PST Scientists have discovered a novel chemical route to form polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons -- complex organic molecules such as naphthalene carrying fused benzene rings -- in ultra-cold regions of interstellar space. |
| Managing private and public adaptation to climate change Posted: 13 Jan 2012 07:20 AM PST New research has found that individuals and the private sector have an important role to play in the provision of public policies to help society adapt to the impacts of climate change. |
| Discovery of plant 'nourishing gene' brings hope for increased crop seed yield and food security Posted: 13 Jan 2012 07:20 AM PST Scientists have discovered a "nourishing gene" which controls the transfer of nutrients from plant to seed -- a significant step which could help increase global food production. |
| Horse fly named in honor of Beyonce Posted: 13 Jan 2012 06:36 AM PST A previously unnamed species of horse fly whose appearance is dominated by its glamorous golden lower abdomen has been named in honor of American pop diva, Beyonce -- a member of the former group Destiny's Child, that recorded the 2001 hit single, "Bootylicious." |
| What can be done to slow climate change? Posted: 12 Jan 2012 04:34 PM PST Scientists have detailed 14 key air pollution control measures that, if implemented, could slow the pace of global warming, improve health and boost agricultural production. |
| Posted: 12 Jan 2012 04:34 PM PST A new study on African bats provides a vital clue for unraveling the mysteries in Australia's battle with the deadly Hendra virus. |
| Cold winters caused by warmer summers, research suggests Posted: 12 Jan 2012 04:34 PM PST Scientists have offered up a convincing explanation for the harsh winters recently experienced in the Northern hemisphere: increasing temperatures and melting ice in the Arctic regions creating more snowfall in the autumn months at lower latitudes. |
| Diverse ecosystems are crucial climate change buffer Posted: 12 Jan 2012 11:22 AM PST Preserving diverse plant life will be crucial to buffer the negative effects of climate change and desertification in in the world's drylands, according to a new landmark study. |
| Posted: 10 Jan 2012 12:17 PM PST The available amount of fossil fuels is limited and their combustion in vehicle motors increases atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. The generation of fuels from biomass as an alternative is on the rise. Scientists have now introduced a new catalytic process that allows the effective conversion of biopetroleum from microalgae into diesel fuels. |
| Fewer animal experiments thanks to nanosensors Posted: 10 Jan 2012 07:20 AM PST Experiments on animals have been the subject of criticism for decades, but there is no prospect of a move away from them any time soon. The number of tests involving laboratory animals has in fact gone up. Now, researchers have found an alternative approach: they hope sensor nanoparticles will reduce the need for animal testing. |
| New way to learn about -- and potentially block -- traits in harmful pathogens Posted: 09 Jan 2012 12:57 PM PST Researchers have developed a new way to identify the genes of harmful microbes, particularly those that have been difficult to study in the laboratory. |
| New 'horned' snake species discovered Posted: 09 Jan 2012 11:59 AM PST Biologists have announced the discovery of a spectacularly colored snake from a remote area of Tanzania in East Africa. |
