5 months, 18 days ago news.webindia123.com — A U.S. study suggests invasive species brought in by ocean-going ships may be costing the Great Lakes region more than $200 million a year.
A study by the the Center for Aquatic Conservation at the University of Notre Dame and the University of Wyoming said the losses include commercial fishing, sport fishing and the region's water supply.
David Lodge, director of the Center for Aquatic Conservation said the $200 million figure is preliminary. The losses are for the U.S. alone, with comparable losses expected in Canada, he said Wednesday in a news release. Losses may also grow as these invaders spread from the source of invasion and across the country on boats, recreational equipment or natural migration. read more...

5 months, 18 days ago fuelcelltoday.com — Siu Ming Kwan and King Lun Yeung from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology have made an inorganic zeolite proton-exchange micromembrane and assembled it into a workable micro fuel cell.
Yeung explains that this is the first time that a nanoporous zeolite membrane has been studied as a proton-exchange membrane for hydrogen fuel cells. They discovered that their microfabricated HZSM-5 micromembrane achieved performance on a par with a commercial membrane, Nafion 117. They believe their work shows remarkable progress in inorganic proton conducting membranes, as sufficient proton conductivity is currently only achieved at significantly higher temperatures. read more...

6 months, 2 days ago news.aol.com — MEYRIN, Switzerland (June 29) - The most powerful atom-smasher ever built could make some bizarre discoveries, such as invisible matter or extra dimensions in space, after it is switched on in August.
But some critics fear the Large Hadron Collider could exceed physicists' wildest conjectures: Will it spawn a black hole that could swallow Earth? Or spit out particles that could turn the planet into a hot dead clump? read more...

6 months, 13 days ago ca.news.yahoo.com — WASHINGTON - Just over three years old and about one metre tall, Methuselah is growing well.
"It's lovely," Dr. Sarah Sallon said of the date palm, whose parents may have provided food for the besieged Jews at Masada some 2,000 years ago. The little tree was sprouted in 2005 from a seed recovered from Masada, where rebelling Jews committed suicide rather than surrender to Roman attackers.
