The deep-sea world beyond sunlight: Explorers census 17,650 ocean species between edge of darkness and black abyss

23.11.2009 00:40    sciencedaily.com
Scientists have inventoried an astonishing abundance, diversity and distribution of deep sea species that have never known sunlight -- creatures that somehow manage a living in a frigid black world down to 5000 meters (three miles) below the ocean waves.

Hydrogen-economy on the way? New hydrogen-storage method discovered

23.11.2009 00:40    sciencedaily.com
Scientists have found for the first time that high pressure can be used to make a unique hydrogen-storage material. The discovery paves the way for a new approach to the hydrogen-storage problem. The researchers found that the normally nonreactive, noble

Climate modeling may have missed something: Aquatic creatures mix ocean water by swimming

23.11.2009 00:39    sciencedaily.com
Understanding mixing in the ocean is of fundamental importance to modeling climate change or predicting the effects of an El Niño on our weather. Modern ocean models primarily incorporate the effects of winds and tides. However, they do not generally

New discovery may lead to heartier, high-yielding plants

23.11.2009 00:39    sciencedaily.com
Scientists have shown how a family of genes (1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase, or ACS genes), in the weed Arabidopsis thaliana, are responsible for production of ethylene. This gas affects many aspects of plant development, and this information, which will be applicable to

International expedition investigates climate change, alternative fuels in Arctic

23.11.2009 00:39    sciencedaily.com
Biogeochemistry and geology and geophysics scientists have returned from Arctic expedition exploring methane hydrate deposits in the Beaufort Sea and spatial variation of sediment contribution to Arctic climate change.

Scientists argue for a new type of climate target

23.11.2009 00:38    sciencedaily.com
In order to avoid dangerous consequences for the earth's ecosystems, global emissions must peak around 2015, and they need to be cut by half between the peak and 2030, according to new findings.
