- Washington University scientists analyze solar wind samples from Genesis Mission
10-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
Analyzing the mix of hydrogen, oxygen and noble gases found in the sun can answer one of the biggest questions of the universe: How did our solar system evolve?Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis and a large team of colleagues marked the beginnings of that odyssey by examining samples of solar wind for neon and argon, two abundant noble gases. The work was published in the Oct. 19, 2007, issue of Science.

- E.coli a future source of energy?
01-29-2008 · EurekAlert!
Thomas Wood, a professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University has "tweaked" a strain of E. coli so that it produces substantial amounts of hydrogen. Specifically, Wood's strain produces 140 times more hydrogen than is created in a naturally occurring process, according to an article in "Microbial Biotechnology," detailing his research.

- Environmental researchers propose radical 'human-centric' map of the world
11-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Ecologists pay too much attention to increasingly rare "pristine" ecosystems, say researchers from McGill University and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Professor Erle Ellis of UMBC and professor Navin Ramankutty of McGill assert that the current system of classifying ecosystems into biomes (or "ecological communities") like tropical rainforests, grasslands and deserts may be misleading. Instead, they propose an entirely new model of human-centered "anthropegenic" biomes.

- Feeling the heat
01-10-2008 · EurekAlert!
Energy now lost as heat during the production of electricity could be harnessed through the use of silicon nanowires synthesized via a technique developed by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California at Berkeley. The far-ranging potential applications of this technology include DOE's hydrogen fuel cell-powered "Freedom CAR," and personal power-jackets that could use heat from the human body to recharge cell-phones and other electronic devices.

- Using musical chords to analyze and illustrate hydrogen molecule's response to laser pulses
01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
For Kansas State University physics professor Uwe Thumm, confirmation of a theory about the behavior of small molecules became music to his ears -- literally. He and colleagues in Heidelberg, Germany, have shown how a hydrogen molecule responds to laser pulses by using the changing musical chord created by the molecule's vibrational motion.

- Satellite radar gauges water levels in Louisiana wetlands
12-11-2006 · EurekAlert!
Ohio State University researchers have demonstrated that a satellite radar system can be used to gauge water levels in vegetated wetlands. C.K. Shum, professor of earth sciences at Ohio State, and his colleagues hope to develop the technique to aid studies of wetland hydrology -- including the role that wetlands play in quelling storm surges caused by large hurricanes.
