Industrial agriculture faces painful challenges: the end of cheap energy, depleted water resources, impaired ecosystem services, and unstable climates. Scientists searching for alternatives to the highly specialized, energy intensive industrial system might profitably look to the biological synergies inherent in multi-species systems, according to an article in the March-April 2007 issue of Agronomy Journal. …
In fact, each of the 12 astrological signs had at least two medical disorders associated with them, thus placing people born under a given sign at increased…
Forecasting models that incorporate high-powered computers and satellite data may soon modernize the way Western states manage freshwater supplies. Several…
These changes, driven by new wind patterns, are consistent with predictive models of global climate change, scientists said this week at the annual meeting of…
The object, known as an evaporating gas globule, or EGG, has the same mass as the sun and appears to be evolving in a violent environment much like the one…
To help estimate the seriousness of these and other indoor pollutant sources as well as to devise ways to reduce possible health impacts, the National…
Some astronomical and geological studies suggest there might have been very small changes in the values of fundamental constants over billions of years,…
The cryocoooler could be used to chill instruments for space and military applications, and is a significant step toward even smaller, higher-frequency…
The quantum Hall effect was previously believed to only be observable at temperatures close to absolute zero (equal to minus 459 degrees). But when scientists…
Pound for pound, carbon nanotubes are stronger and lighter than steel, but unlike other materials, the miniscule cylinders of carbon – which are no wider than…
A warming trend during the last few decades in the Antarctic Peninsula has already forced penguin populations to migrate south and perhaps diminished the…
