Science More Creative And Less "True" Than Many Believe
Champaign IL (SPX) Aug 11, 2004Science is not just evidence, but intuition. It is not just procedures, but creativity. Its conclusions are not set in stone, but ever-changing and open to question as part of a dynamic social enterprise. Evolvability Could Be A Driving Force In Drug Resistance 
Houston (SPX) Aug 10, 2004Not only has life evolved, but life has evolved to evolve. That's the conclusion drawn by two Rice University scientists who have designed a computer simulation to test the idea that evolvability - the likelihood of genetic mutation - is a trait that can itself be favored or disfavored through the process of natural selection. Whale Carcass Yields Bone-Devouring Worms 
Monterey Canyon CA (SPX) Jul 30, 2004Scientists studying a whale carcass in Monterey Canyon recently announced the discovery of two new species of unique worms that feed on the bones of dead whales. In the July 30 issue of Science, the researchers describe these worms, whose bodies and feeding strategies differ from those of any other known animal. Plant Gene Discovery Could Reduce Fertilizer Needs And Phosphate Pollution 
Lake Buena Vista FL (SPX) Jul 29, 2004Scientists at the Boyce Thompson Institute for Plant Research at Cornell University have uncovered the genes that enable plants to interact with beneficial soil dwelling fungi and to access phosphate delivered to the roots by these fungi. Cluster Spacecraft Catch Crashing Waves In Earth's Magnetic Bubble 
Berkeley CA (SPX) Aug 13, 2004A bevy of satellites buzzing around in the Earth's magnetosphere has found at least part of the answer to a long-standing puzzle about the source of the charged particles that feed the aurora. Technology Already Exists To Stabilize Global Warming 
Princeton NJ (SPX) Aug 13, 2004Existing technologies could stop the escalation of global warming for 50 years and work on implementing them can begin immediately, according to an analysis by Princeton University scientists. India To Launch Education Satellite Mid-September 
New Delhi (SPX) Aug 13, 2004India has scheduled the launch of Edusat, the satellite dedicated to beam educational programs, for mid-September, the Indo-Asian News Service (IANS) reported Thursday. |
The Olympics On Animal Planet
by Astrobiology MagazineMoffett Field CA (SPX) Aug 13, 2004 In part IV of this Olympic series, the question of how humans might compete against other species is considered. Are we so sure in our pride as a species, that our champions are the same as the planet's winners? How Topography Affects The Gulf Stream's Path 
Kingston RI (SPX) Aug 13, 2004Scientists have been studying the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic Ocean for centuries but still do not completely understand the swiftly moving current's physical dynamics. One mysterious phenomenon is the path of the Gulf Stream, which does not follow a straight line, but bends, meanders, and changes from day to day. Growing Pains: T. Rex Was Teenage Giant 
Tallahassee FL (SPX) Aug 12, 2004Most teenagers have growing pains, but none probably compared to those of Tyrannosaurus rex as it ascended to adulthood more than 65 million years ago, according to a Florida State University researcher. Ozone Loss Caused Genetic Mutations At Time Of Mass Extinction 
London (SPX) Aug 11, 2004Research into the world's worst mass extinction, which led to the loss of 90 per cent of living species 250 million years ago, has found that the historical tragedy also involved some disturbing genetics mutations. Science More Creative And Less "True" Than Many Believe

Keeping Current With Ocean Currents 
Boulder CO (SPX) Aug 10, 2004Imagine a place where the roads change constantly and last month's map may be completely out of date. That's the ocean. Knowing where the currents were a week ago won't help a ship captain chart the best course or a clean-up crew anticipate where an oil spill is heading nearly as much as knowing where the currents are today. |
