Tropical Caves Shed Light on Ancient Climate Change
5/9/2012 Almost everything we know about noteworthy climate shifts such as ice ages comes from the cold northern latitudes. Polar ice cores and North Atlantic deep ocean sediments have revealed global glaciations and jumps in temperature and greenhouse gases such … Continue reading
Gamma ray optics: A viable tool for a new branch of scientific discovery
5/9/2012 Scientists at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) have demonstrated for the first time that gamma rays, a highly energetic form of light produced by radioactive decay of atomic nuclei and amongst other [things] used to kill cancer cells, can be … Continue reading

Popularity of food authentication on the rise
4/30/2012 Where did that organic beef come from, anyway? Isotopic analysis is helping identify unscrupulous food producers. – by Jenni Spinner, Senior Editor / Packaging Digest Food authentication techniques are gaining popularity, partly because of growing concerns about fraud involving organic … Continue reading
4/30/2012 Carbon isotopes in methane gas reveal significant details about Titan, Saturn’s giant moon. By modeling how the concentration of heavy methane changes over time, the scientists predicted how long Titan’s chemical factory has been running. Saturn’s giant moon Titan … Continue reading
The Antarctic Sun: News about Antarctica – Not Sitting Down
4/30/2012 Oxygen isotopes help scientists understand glacial changes in Antarctica – by Peter Rejcek, Antarctic Sun Editor Scientists are generally in agreement that glaciers in West Antarctica are charging ever faster toward the coast, releasing more ice to the sea, … Continue reading
Researchers find method of identifying sources of NOx emissions – Power Engineering
4/19/2012 A team of researchers from the University of Pittsburgh and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has developed a method that could identify the sources of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Researchers collected emissions samples from several power plant stacks … Continue reading
Earth may be younger than we think
4/18/2012 When hearing that the isotopic ratio for uranium has been measured to a more accurate value of 137.818, from a previous value of 137.88, one might not think it is such a big deal. However, a recent study indicates … Continue reading
