| Scientists 'read' ash from the Icelandic volcano two years after its eruption Posted: 12 May 2012 11:41 AM PDT In May 2010, the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull reached the Iberian Peninsula and brought airports to a halt all over Europe. At the time, scientists followed its paths using satellites, laser detectors, sun photometers and other instruments. Two years later they have now presented the results and models that will help to prevent the consequences of such natural phenomena.  |
| Meteorite discovery spurs hunt for more pieces Posted: 12 May 2012 07:10 AM PDT Meteorite fragments were recently scattered around Sutter's Mill in California, the same region where the first nugget of gold was found that sparked the Gold Rush in 1848. Scientists believe the meteorites may hold answers to unsolved mysteries about our solar system and the origins of molecules necessary for life. When the Gold Rush began, people headed to California seeking their fortune. Now, with this meteorite hunt, people once again have flocked to this area to search for scientific treasures.  |
| Medical research using dogs as models Posted: 09 May 2012 09:36 AM PDT Dogs are among the best animals when it comes to providing models for better medical treatments in humans.  |
| Support for climate change action drops, poll finds Posted: 08 May 2012 01:33 PM PDT Americans' support for government action on global warming remains high but has dropped during the past two years, according to a new survey.  |
