One of the new guiding principles of political decision-making in fishery issues is that a holistic "ecosystems approach"should be used instead of traditional protection of fish populations. Research Offers Clues About Buckyball Behavior In Natural Environments
In some of the first research to probe how buckyballs will interact with natural ecosystems, Rice University's Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology finds that the molecules spontaneously clump together upon contact with water, forming aggregate nanoparticles that are both soluble and toxic to bacteria. The findings raise questions about how the buckyball aggregates -- dubbed nano-C60 -- will interactwith other particles and living things in natural ecosystems. Physicist Trying To Store Antimatter In Small Box Using Radiofrequency
Physicists want to study antimatter much more closely and confirm beyond all doubt that it really is the exact opposite of the matter we observe in everyday existence, but there is a problem. Antimatter is very difficult to make, and even harder to store afterwards, making it more precious to scientists than gold. The moment it comes into contact with the normal matter surrounding us it annihilates within a trillionth of second, so it has to be isolated and manipulated indirectly.
