Viral Infections May Be Linked To Obesity
Experts don't dispute the important role that diet and activity play in maintaining a healthy weight. But can poor eating habits and a less active lifestyle fully explain the prevalence of obesity in the US today? That question has led some researchers to ask whether there might be other causes for this serious problem. Knowledge Of Nitrogen Transfer Between Plants And Beneficial Fungi Exp
New findings show that a beneficial soil fungus plays a large role in nitrogen uptake and utilization in most plants. 'Green Clean:' Researchers Determining Natural Ways To Clean Contamina
Researchers are working to demonstrate that trees can be used to degrade or capture fuels that leak into soil and ground water. Through a process called phytoremediation -- literally a "green" technology -- plants and trees remove pollutants from the environment or render them harmless. Intensive Training Post-spinal Cord Injury Can Stimulate Repair In Bra
Intensive rehabilitation training for patients with spinal cord injuries can stimulate new branches growing from severed nerve fibers, alongside compensatory changes in the brain, say researchers. Most importantly, it could lead to restoring hand function and the ability to walk. A new article highlights the remarkable benefits of rehabilitation training after cervical spinal cord injury -- something that has been overshadowed in recent years by the promise of cutting-edge stem cell research. It's A Grind To Make Mars Red
The widespread idea that Mars is red due to rocks being rusted by the water that once flooded the red planet may not be correct. Recent laboratory studies show that red dust may be formed by ongoing grinding of surface rocks and liquid water need not have played any significant role in the formation process. The findings open up the debate about the history of water on Mars and whether it has ever been habitable. Food Habits Are More Important Than Most Important Obesity Risk Gene
The risk of becoming obese is 2.5 times higher for those who have double copies of the best known risk gene for overweight and obesity. However, this is only true if the fat consumption is high. A low fat diet neutralizes the harmful effects of the gene. Big Books Hit Japan's Tiny Phones

Better, faster medical care has reduced deaths from the more than 10,000 war injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan to the lowest percentage of any war in American history. In World War II, 30 percent of U.S. soldiers died from wounds received in combat; in Vietnam, 24 percent of the wounded died. In Iraq and Afghanistan, despite the horrific increase in the destructibility of weapons, mortality has dropped to 10 percent. [Ironic] Ex-Firefighter Charged in Fake 911 Calls
STOWE, Vt. - A former volunteer firefighter is facing charges that he made a series of false 911 calls so he could watch fire engines race toward fabricated emergencies... Scientists turn light into electrical current using a golden nanoscale
Material scientists have created a system, using nano-sized molecules of gold, that induces and projects electrical current across molecules, similar to that of photovoltaic solar cells.
