Ocean scientists can now remotely measure the amount of fluorescent red light emitted by ocean phytoplankton and assess how efficiently the microscopic plants are turning sunlight and nutrients into food through photosynthesis. They can also study how changes in the global environment alter these processes, which are at the center of the ocean food web
When scientist Loretta Mayer set out to alleviate diseases associated with menopause, she didn’t realize her work could lead to addressing world hunger and feeding hundreds of millions of people
A team of astronomers and astrobiologists has devised a technique to tell whether small Earth-like planets orbiting other suns harbor liquid water, which in turn could tell whether they might be able to support life
QD Soleil, a division of Nanosys Inc. focused on the use of proprietary nanotechnology in solar panel cell designs, today announced the signing of an exclusive license agreement with Starfire Electronic Development and Marketing Corporation for patents covering the work of nanotechnology pioneer Dr. Avery Goldstein
Six months into the GE Consumer & Industrial and Louisville Gas & Electric Company, pilot program that uses smart meters, smart or demand response appliances, and a tiered pricing program - results reveal participants are choosing money-saving options
Scientists have used high-tech scanners to make observations of clouds that could lead to more accurate weather forecasts and predictions about climate change
SANYO announced today it has broken its own record for the world's highest energy conversion efficiency in practical size crystalline silicon-type solar cells, achieving a efficiency of 23.0%
Planning for emergencies must take into account the growing numbers of frail elderly people who will by virtue of shifting demographics be involved in any natural or manmade disaster
Salad dressing aside, a pile of spinach has more nutritional value than a wedge of iceberg lettuce. That's because darker colors in leafy vegetables are often signs of antioxidants that are thought to have a variety of health benefits. Now a team of plant physiologists has developed a way to make lettuce darker and redder—and therefore healthier—using ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
A team of UC San Diego-led atmospheric chemistry researchers moved closer to what is considered the "holy grail" of climate change science when it made the first-ever direct detection of biological particles within ice clouds
