Synthetic Gene Like Crystals For CO2 CaptureLos Angeles (SPX) Feb 17, 2010 UCLA chemists report creating a synthetic "gene" that could capture heat-trapping carbon dioxide emissions, which contribute to global warming, rising sea levels and the increased acidity of oceans. The research appears in the Feb. 12 issue of the journal Science. "We created three-dimensional, synthetic DNA-like crystals," said UCLA chemistry and biochemistry professor Omar M. Yaghi, who is a member of the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at UCLA and the UCLA-Department of Energy Ins ... read more |

New Delhi (UPI) Feb 16, 2009 New Delhi's compressed natural gas program for auto-rickshaws is failing to make an impact on the city's pollution problem. Some industry leaders, led by Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata, see hydrogen-fueled cars as part of the solution. They envision 1 million of the green vehicles on India's roads by 2020, the Financial Times reports. It is not necessarily by choice that owners o ... more  
Tallahassee FL (SPX) Feb 16, 2010Two of The Florida State University's most accomplished scientists recently joined forces on a collaborative research project that has yielded groundbreaking results involving an unusual family of crystalline minerals. Their findings could lay the groundwork for future researchers seeking to develop a new generation of computer chips and other information-storage devices that can hold vast amoun ... more  
London UK (SPX) Feb 16, 2010Researchers at Queen's University suggest that policy makers examine greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions implications for energy infrastructure as fossil fuel sources must be rapidly replaced by windmills, solar panels and other sources of renewable energy. Their recommendations could be used to help policy makers restructure renewable energy production in a way that will optimize greenhouse ga ... more |

Boeing Completes P-8A Weapons Ground Vibration TestsSeattle WA (SPX) Feb 16, 2010 Boeing successfully completed stores (weapons) ground vibration testing on P-8A Poseidon test aircraft T1 on Feb. 5 in Seattle. The tests will provide data to validate predictions of aircraft performance prior to flight testing at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., later this year. During the monthlong series of tests, 18 different weapons configurations were loaded onto the test aircraft. For each test condition, external shakers induced vibration of the aircraft's wings, stabilizer and store ... read more |
