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
Possible Fix For Global Warming?
Engineers have designed a
simple, sustainable and
natural carbon sequestration
solution using algae. A team
at Ohio University created a
photo bioreactor that uses
photosynthesis to grow

Uncovering the Mysteries of the Seas
For centuries, sailors in
the Indian Ocean have told
stories of seas glowing with
a dim, white light at night.
Satellite images have now
confirmed the appearance of
what seem to be

Underwater Earthquakes
Seismologists investigating
undersea earthquakes have
found that molten rock
lubricates faults. This
decreases the amount of
friction between sides of
the fault and decreases the
intensity of earthquakes.

Environmental Toxicologists Link Household Bacteria to Asthma
Scientists have found that chemicals called endotoxins can inflame airways and trigger asthma. Endotoxins are shed by bacteria in household dust. Experts say better home hygiene, washing bed linens ... > more -
Dermatologists Discover Sun Protection Under The Sea
Dermatologists recognize the benefits of a compound called astaxanthin. Found in red ocean plants and animals such as salmon, astaxanthin is the most effective and efficient free radical sponge in ... > more -
Statisticians Show that High Altitude Makes Hits Longer
Two mathematicians at the University of Northern Colorado are taking a fresh statistical look at the effects of elevation on hitting -- specifically at Coors Field in Denver, where the field is at a ... > more -
Physicist Explains Benefits Of Carbon Dioxide

Environmental Engineers Detect Turbines' Turbulence Effects
Wind farms may have an impact on local weather patterns. As environmental engineers have discovered, wind farm propellers create a lot of turbulence in their wake, mixing air up and down with effects ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Link Contamination Levels to Tides
By washing decomposing plants into the ocean, high tides could contribute to the increased levels of Enterococci that are often responsible for beach closures. Scientists have now established a clear ... > more -
Physicists Show "Antigravity" Mystery Spots Are Optical Illusions
At several hilly locations around the U.S., know as "gravity hills," objects such as cars left on neutral supposedly roll uphill, driven by unknown forces and against the force of gravity. Physicists ... > more -
Seismologists Build Global Listening Posts to Detect Quakes
In the Global Seismographic Network, 138 networked stations can pick up quake movement and send instant information to computers around the world. The network has passed its first real-world test: ... > more -
Physicist Calls for Airline Industry to Educate Workers about Radiation Levels
At the high altitudes and latitudes commercial airlines fly, crews are subjected to higher-than-normal radiation levels from the sun and cosmic rays. Physicist Robert Barish believes airline crew ... > more
