| Large Hadron Collider Set To Unveil A New World Of Particle Physics Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:00:00 EDT |
The field of particle physics is poised to enter unknown territory with the startup of a massive new accelerator -- the Large Hadron Collider -- in Europe this summer. On Sept. 10, LHC scientists will attempt to send the first beam of protons speeding around the accelerator. |
| Diabetes Transmitted From Parents To Children, New Research Suggests Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:00:00 EDT |
A new study suggests an unusual form of inheritance may have a role in the rising rate of diabetes, especially in children and young adults, in the United States. |
| Future Impact Of Global Warming Is Worse When Grazing Animals Are Considered, Scientists Suggest Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:00:00 EDT |
The impact of global warming in the Arctic may differ from the predictions of computer models, according to new research, which shows that grazing animals will play a key role in reducing the anticipated expansion of shrub growth in the region, thus limiting the shrubs' predicted and beneficial carbon-absorbing effect. |
| How Rheumatoid Arthritis Causes Bone Loss Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:00:00 EDT |
Researchers have discovered key details of how rheumatoid arthritis destroys bone, according to a study published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The findings are already guiding attempts to design new drugs to reverse RA-related bone loss and may also address more common forms of osteoporosis with a few adjustments. |
| A Better Way To Make Hydrogen From Biofuels Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:00:00 EDT |
Researchers here have found a way to convert ethanol and other biofuels into hydrogen very efficiently. A new catalyst makes hydrogen from ethanol with 90 percent yield, at a workable temperature, and using inexpensive ingredients. The new catalyst is much less expensive than others being developed around the world, because it does not contain precious metals, such as platinum or rhodium. |
