| Surprising diversity in aging revealed in nature Posted: 08 Dec 2013 10:36 AM PST In our youth we are strong and healthy and then we weaken and die -- that's probably how most would describe what aging is all about. But, in nature, the phenomenon of aging shows an unexpected diversity of patterns and is altogether rather strange, conclude researchers.  |
| Scientists discover quick recipe for producing hydrogen Posted: 08 Dec 2013 10:36 AM PST Scientists have discovered a quick-cook recipe for copious volumes of hydrogen, a breakthrough suggesting a better way of producing the fuel that propels rockets and energizes battery-like fuel cells. It could eventually even help meet key world energy needs -- without carbon emissions contributing to climate change.  |
| Quality of biodiversity, not just quantity, is key: Right mix of species is needed for conservation Posted: 08 Dec 2013 06:06 AM PST A new study of biodiversity loss in a salt marsh finds that it's not just the total number of species preserved that matters; it's the number of key species. If humans want to reap the benefits of the full range of functions that salt marshes and other coastal ecosystems provide, we need to preserve the right mix of species.  |
| Scientists probe abandoned mine for clues about permanent carbon dioxide sequestration Posted: 08 Dec 2013 06:06 AM PST An abandoned mineral mine is providing geoscientists new insights on how to permanently entomb greenhouse gas emissions in the Earth.  |
| Vast freshwater reserves found beneath the oceans Posted: 08 Dec 2013 05:53 AM PST Scientists have discovered huge reserves of freshwater beneath the oceans kilometers out to sea, providing new opportunities to stave off a looming global water crisis. A new study reveals that an estimated half a million cubic kilometers of low-salinity water are buried beneath the seabed on continental shelves around the world.  |
