Schulman Grove, California (AFP) Sept 22, 2007They have neither the soaring majesty nor the celebrity of the giant redwood, but in one respect the bristlecone pine is the undisputed king of trees: longevity. Scattered on a remote mountainside of eastern California, these gnarled, twisted specimens are the oldest living organisms on Earth, the most senior among them some 4,700 years old. If the mere sight of trees that pre-date the a ... more Bridge Strengthening Research 
Washington DC (SPX) Sep 24, 2007These days, a drive across a bridge is not always a pleasure cruise. Mindful of the war on terrorism, it can often be a cautious experience. In one scenario, someone sets off a series of bombs to weaken the cables and the key structural connections of a major city bridge, all during rush hour. Not easy to do, but now thinkable. This summer, the possibility of sabotage was quickly examined-then d ... more A Better Definition For The Kilogram. Scientists Propose A Precise Number Of Carbon Atoms 
Atlanta GA (SPX) Sep 24, 2007How much is a kilogram? It turns out that nobody can say for sure, at least not in a way that won't change ever so slightly over time.

The change is occurring despite careful storage at a facili ... more Amazon Forest Shows Unexpected Resiliency During Drought

"Instead of 'hunkering down' during a drought as you mig ... more |

Hong Kong (AFP) Sept 23, 2007The hot and smelly process of recycling scrap paper and rubbish is not the most glamorous way to become a billionaire. But it has made Cheung Yan -- chairwoman of Nine Dragons Paper, China's largest paperboard producer -- richer than both Oprah Winfrey and JK Rowling, worth an estimated 2.4 billion dollars, according to Forbes magazine. Cheung, who became the first woman last year to top ... more China's Chery group matures into global auto player 
Wuhu, China (AFP) Sept 23, 2007China's Chery Auto sales vice president Jin Yibo remembers when the roof in the president's office had a leak so big that they had to put out buckets to collect the water. "Those were tough times," said Jin, shaking his head in disbelief as he recalled Chery's humble beginnings 10 years ago.

Gaithersburg MD (SPX) Sep 24, 2007Visible and ultraviolet laser light has been used for years to cool trapped atoms-and more recently larger objects-by reducing the extent of their thermal motion.
