Water Molecules Control Inactivation and Recovery of Potassium Channels
July 28, 2013 — Just 12 molecules of water cause the long post-activation recovery period required by potassium ion channels before they can function again. Using molecular simulations that modeled a potassium ... > full story -
New Knowledge About Permafrost Improving Climate Models
July 28, 2013 — New research findings document that permafrost during thawing may result in a substantial release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and that the future water content in the soil is crucial to ... > full story -
Global Warming to Cut Snow Water Storage 56 Percent in Oregon Watershed
July 26, 2013 — A new report projects that by the middle of this century there will be an average 56 percent drop in the amount of water stored in peak snowpack in the McKenzie River watershed of the Oregon Cascade ... > full story -
Removing Pollutants and Contaminants from Wastewater
July 26, 2013 — Scientists have developed several effective processes for eliminating persistent pollutants from wastewater. Some of these processes generate reactive species which can be used to purify even highly ... > full story -
Behavior of Turbulent Flow of Superfluids Is Opposite That of Ordinary Fluids
July 25, 2013 — A superfluid moves like a completely frictionless liquid, seemingly able to propel itself without any hindrance from gravity or surface tension. The physics underlying these materials -- which appear ... > full story -
Space Station Research Exposing the Salty Truth of Supercritical Water Transitions
July 24, 2013 — There is a moment when everything changes. Something familiar crosses a boundary and suddenly behaves in new ways. Take water for example. In middle school science class, you probably learned about ... > full story -
Coastal Antarctic Permafrost Melting Faster Than Expected: Arctic-Like Melt Rates Appearing in Coastal Antarctica
July 24, 2013 — Scientists have documented an acceleration in the melt rate of permafrost in a part of Antarctica where the ice had been considered stable. The melt rates are comparable with the Arctic and could ... > full story -
Atmospheric Rivers Set to Increase UK Winter Flooding
July 24, 2013 — The prolonged heat wave that has bathed the UK in sunshine over the past month has given the country an unexpected taste of summer that has seemed to be missing in recent years. However, a new study ... > full story -
NASA's Spitzer Observes Gas Emission from Comet ISON
July 23, 2013 — Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have observed what most likely are strong carbon dioxide emissions from Comet ISON ahead of its anticipated pass through the inner solar system later ... > full story -
Protons Hop from One Water Molecule to Another Given Suitable Energy Conditions
July 23, 2013 — Protons, as positively charged hydrogen ions, move very rapidly in water from one water molecule to the next, which is why the conductivity of water is relatively high. The principle of proton ... > full story
