Lazy Eye: Older Children Can Benefit From Treatment For Childhood's Mo
Surprising results from a nationwide clinical trial show that many children age 7 through 17 with amblyopia (lazy eye) may benefit from treatments that are more commonly used on younger children. Beans' Defenses Mean Bacteria Get Evolutionary Helping Hand
Bean plants' natural defenses against bacterial infections could be unwittingly driving the evolution of more highly pathogenic bacteria, according to new research. The study sheds new light on how bacterial pathogens evolve and adapt to stresses from host plants. This information could help researchers develop new ways of tackling pathogens that cause extensive and costly damage to beans and other food crops. Discovery May Lead To Precision Engineering Of Superconducting Thin Fi
Using precision techniques for making superconducting thin films layer-by-layer, physicists have identified a single layer responsible for one such material's ability to become superconducting, i.e., carry electrical current with no energy loss. The technique could be used to engineer ultrathin films with "tunable" superconductivity for higher-efficiency electronic devices. Few Americans Are Aware They Have Chronic Kidney Disease

The researchers report that Harris mud crabs are reproducing in the small, man-made lake designated to become the third set of locks in Panama's new $5 billion canal expansion project. Scientists Align Billion-year-old Protein With Embryonic Heart Defects
University of Rochester scientists studying a vital protein called Serum Response Factor (SRF) in mice have learned new and unexpected facts about SRF's role in early cardiovascular development, and how a defect in this gene may be an underlying cause in human miscarriages. A month with an electricity monitor
Right, the kettle is on for a morning brew and apparently our household is using 3.07 kilowatts. That will include the chest freezer in the garage, the refrigerator in the kitchen, the electric kettle, my laptop and wireless network, oh and a little device sitting on my desk right now that’s monitoring all those electrons [...]A month with an electricity monitor is a post from: Sciencebase Science Blog Ski Area Citizens' Coalition
This organization grades western U.S. ski resorts on their environmental policies and practices. Provides information about impacting roadless areas, logging in old growth forests, purchasing clean energy, using cleaner fuel, and other environmental topics for ski resorts in California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
