Climate Change More Rapid Than Ever
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology presented on Thursday, September 29, their first model calculations for the future of the climate. According to the calculations, in the next 100 years, the climate will change more than ever. Given particular conditions, it is expected that the sea ice in the North Pole region will completely melt in the summer. Extreme weather events in Europe will increase in frequency and strength. Researchers Explore Nanotechnology As Diagnostic And Treatment Tool Fo
At Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, researchers believe nanotechnology can lead to strikingly new ways to diagnosis and treat ovarian cancer. In a unique collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and the Illinois Institute of Technology, Rush researchers are employing state-of-the-art nanotechnology to improve the health of women. Shifting The World To 100 Percent Clean, Renewable Energy As Early As
Wind, water and solar energy resources are sufficiently available to provide all the world's energy. Converting to electricity and hydrogen powered by these sources would reduce world power demand by 30 percent, thereby avoiding 13,000 coal power plants. Materials and costs are not limitations to these conversions, but politics may be, say researchers who have mapped out a blueprint for powering the world. First Intelligent Financial Search Engine Developed
Researchers have completed the development of the first search engine designed to search for information from the financial and stock market sector based on semantic technology, which enables one to make more accurate thematic searches adapted to the needs of each user. [Funny] A referee has sent himself off in an English amateur league ma
Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. Glacial rebound: 10,000-year study of strata compaction and sea-level
Glacial rebound -- the rise or fall of land masses that were depressed by the huge weight of ice sheets during the last glacial period -- explains differences in relative sea levels along the English coast, according to a new study. Chemo Drugs For Treating Breast Cancer May Cause Changes In Cognitive
A new study investigating the effects of chemotherapy on cognitive function in mice has confirmed what many cancer patients receiving treatment have often complained about -- a decline in their memory and other cognitive functions, sometimes characterized as "chemobrain." An Alternative to Cloning
"Media reports generally mention only two ways to produce human embryonic stem cells. ... In this conversation with Ann Kiessling of Harvard Medical School, NOVA scienceNOW's Kyla Dunn learns about a third and possibly less contentious approach. It has the tongue-twisting name 'parthenogenesis' [when an egg activates spontaneously on its own]."Also includes a discussion of the controversy about research on this topic. Free Music Now! Lala.com's Plan to Give Songs Away Could Upend the Ind
Lala.com, which launched in 2006 as a CD-swap service, spins into a new business model offering free, unlimited on-demand music streams from major labels. The company hopes to recoup its $160-million investment in licensing deals through music sales -- downloads, physical CDs and vinyl -- with more revenue streams on the way. 'Quasicrystal' Metal Computer Model Could Aid Ultra-low-friction Machi
Duke University materials scientists have developed a computer model of how a "quasicrystal"metallic alloy interacts with a gas at various temperatures and pressures. Their advance could contribute to wider applications of quasicrystals for extremely low-friction machine parts, such as ball bearings and sliding parts.
