| Plumes across the Pacific deliver thousands of microbial species to North American West Coast Posted: 17 Dec 2012 12:27 PM PST Microorganisms -- 99 percent more kinds than had been reported in findings published just four months ago -- are leaping the biggest gap on the planet. Hitching rides in the upper troposphere, they're making their way from Asia across the Pacific Ocean and landing in North America. |
| 'Gusty winds' in space turbulence: First direct measurement of its kind in the lab Posted: 17 Dec 2012 12:25 PM PST Imagine riding in an airplane as the plane is jolted back and forth by gusts of wind that you can't prove exist but are there nonetheless. Similar turbulence exists in space, and a research team has directly measured it for the first time in the laboratory. |
| Environmental threat map highlights Great Lakes restoration challenges Posted: 17 Dec 2012 12:25 PM PST A comprehensive map three years in the making is telling the story of humans' impact on the Great Lakes, identifying how "environmental stressors" stretching from Minnesota to Ontario are shaping the future of an ecosystem that contains 20 percent of the world's fresh water. |
| Plant sniffs out danger to prepare defenses against pesky insect Posted: 17 Dec 2012 11:07 AM PST A plant may start to prime its defenses as soon as it gets a whiff of a male fly searching for a mate, according to entomologists. |
| Hybrid tunnel may help guide severed nerves back to health Posted: 17 Dec 2012 11:07 AM PST Building a tunnel made up of both hard and soft materials to guide the reconnection of severed nerve endings may be the first step toward helping patients who have suffered extensive nerve trauma regain feeling and movement, according to a biomedical engineers. |
| New form of cell division found: Natural back-up mechanism during faulty cell division Posted: 17 Dec 2012 11:03 AM PST Researchers have discovered a new form of cell division in human cells. They believe it serves as a natural back-up mechanism during faulty cell division, preventing some cells from going down a path that can lead to cancer. |
| Extreme climate predicted in Eastern U.S.: Storms, heat waves with global warming Posted: 17 Dec 2012 09:17 AM PST From extreme drought to super storms, many wonder what the future holds for the climate of the eastern United States. A new study does away with the guessing. |
| Exploding star missing from formation of solar system Posted: 17 Dec 2012 06:10 AM PST A new study challenges the notion that the force of an exploding star forced the formation of the solar system. |
