Evolution of life on Earth may hold key to finding life in outer space
Questions about the existence of life in outer space may have a surprisingly close-to-home answer, according to one University of Houston professor. Understanding how life evolved on Earth is important in obtaining clues as to where else in the universe one might find life and what it might be like, said George E. Fox, a UH professor of biology and biochemistry. Fox is finishing work on a...Plants used to detect gas leaks, from outer space!
Gas leaks can be potentially life threatening in the home, but the presence of gas stresses out plants too. Professor Mike Steven and colleagues from the University of Nottingham have found that changes in the physical properties of plants can act as an early warning of leaks in natural gas pipelines. "Our study was about testing the ability of satellite remote systems to monitor gas le...CSIRO imagery shows Outer Great Barrier Reef at risk from river plumes
A stunning series of satellite imagery of Australia's Great Barrier Reef released by the CSIRO shows for the first time visual confirmation of the theory that sediment plumes travel to the outer reef, and beyond. The remotely sensed images, taken from February 9 to 13 this year, challenge conventional thought that sediment travelling from our river systems into the GBR is captured by the...Simulations unravel outer membrane transport mechanism
Biochemistry professor Emad Tajkhorshid and graduate student James Gumbart used two software programs developed in the U. of I.'s National Institutes of Health Resource for Macromolecular Modeling and Bioinformatics to painstakingly model a critical part of a mechanism by which bacteria take up large molecules.

Madison, WI- Over 2,200 computers on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus were infected with the latest e-mail virus last week. At the same time, it was revealed that beginning in May 2003, UW-Madison discovered that it was the recipient of a continuous large scale flood of inbound Internet traffic destined for one of the...Experiments In Outer Space To Determine single Cell Survival
Far above the heads of Earthlings, nanostructures of single-cell creatures are encircling Earth.// These nanostructures, harboring yeast or other unicellular organisms are riding on the International Space Station, to test if they can secure safer homes for their occupants amidst the vacuum and radiations of outer space, than those created by standard chemical procedures....Universal I/A handpiece - Titanium (Straight Tip, Size: 16g Outer Cannula)
