Now, a University of Utah engineer has developed an inexpensive new method to remove oil sheen by repeatedly pressurizing and depressurizing ozone gas, creating microscopic bubbles that attack the oil...
Life Sciences | Read moreAlberta's hidden valleys offer both resources and danger
The valley was created by glaciers and over time filled with loose rock gradually disappearing from the landscape. There had already been extensive underground mapping of the area, but Schmitt...
