Detecting Toxins: Saving Lives
Electrical engineers have
developed a new, portable
lab that identifies
chemicals by their unique
color signatures. It is the
first such device to be
portable, allowing

of charged ice in clouds to
lightning activity. Ice
particles in thunderstorms
can help increase

What's In Our Air?
Spectroscopic images from
remote-sensing satellites of
the Ohio River Valley over
10 years have revealed a
decreasing concentration of
nitrogen oxides and nitric
acid, precursors to ozone. ... > full story
Hurricanes: Inside the Storm
During hurricane season,
scientists fly aboard NOAA
aircraft to pinpoint the
precise path of the eye of a
storm, and to take data to
send back to the National
Hurricane Center. The planes

Soil Chemists Plant Ferns to Soak Up Backyard Poisons
Planting ferns can be a cheaper, greener way to soak up poisons such as arsenic from the soil. Ferns absorb arsenic through their roots and store it in their leaves, which can then be cut off. ... > more -
Physicist Explains Benefits Of Carbon Dioxide
A physicist from Colorado State University and his colleagues from the North American Carbon Program (NACP) have discerned and confirmed the unforeseen advantages of rising carbon dioxide levels. ... > more -
Environmental Engineers, Water Scientists Develop Children's Kit for Monitoring Water Health
Playing a role once reserved for environmental engineers, children are now helping to test the health of water in their local communities. A new kit comes equipped with everything needed to test the ... > more -
Meteorologists Find That Increased Ocean Temperatures Cause Increasingly Intense Hurricanes
Climate change experts studying hurricanes documented a 35-year warming trend in ocean surface temperature and linked it to larger hurricanes. The increase has been 1 degree Fahrenheit, resulting in ... > more -
Soil Scientists Restore Marshes To Protect Coastal Ecology
Soil scientists spread material dredged from shipping channels over shore areas to help rebuild marsh areas. Wetlands along the shore protect the land from storm surges, create habitat for wildlife, ... > more -
Industrial Toxicologists Develop Cost-Effective, Life-Saving Disinfection
Industrial toxicologists at a non-profit venture founded by Procter & Gamble developed PUR, a water purifier that combines a flocculant -- which separates particles and organisms from water -- ... > more -
Meteorologists See Future of Increasingly Extreme Weather Events
While raising average global temperatures, climate change could also bring more snow, harder rain, or heat waves, meteorologists say. Computer models based on climate data from nine countries ... > more -
Soil Scientists Stabilize Fire Ravaged Topsoil With New Technology
Chemists and engineers designed a technology that protects soil. A polymer encased in recycled paper bonds to positive ions in soil to form clumps. These clods of dirt break up the hard surface that ... > more -
Meteorologists Discover How Monsoon Affects Summer Weather
Traveling to the coast of Western Mexico, U.S. researchers are studying the North American Monsoon, which brings humid air and heavy rain by blowing winds from the ocean. Studying the monsoon will ... > more -
Civil Engineers Improve Houses Against Hurricanes
Polystyrene blocks used to build the walls in the home have survived a direct hit from a tornado, and improved version used in houses incorporates concrete with steel reinforcing inside. On a ... > more
