  • Pearly perfection
    (American Chemical Society) The mystery of how pearls form into the most perfectly spherical large objects in nature may have an unlikely explanation, scientists are proposing in a new study. It appears in ACS' journal Langmuir, named for 1932 Nobel Laureate Irving Langmuir.
  • A synthesis of the 36451 specimens from the UNEX Herbarium in a new data paper
    (Pensoft Publishers) A new peer reviewed open access data paper published in Phytokeys offers a comprehensive synthesis of the 36451 specimens preserved in the herbarium of the University of Extremadura (UNEX Herbarium) in an attempt to disseminate the data contained, and promote their multiple uses. All data in the collection can be easily accessed through the GBIF data portal.
  • Forest Service study finds urban trees removing fine particulate air pollution, saving lives
    (USDA Forest Service - Northern Research Station) In a study recently published on-line by the journal Environmental Pollution, researchers David Nowak and Robert Hoehn of the US Forest Service and Satoshi Hirabayashi and Allison Bodine of the Davey Institute in Syracuse, N.Y., estimated how much fine particulate matter is removed by trees in 10 cities, their impact on PM2.5 concentrations and associated values and impacts on human health.
  • An environmentally friendly battery made from wood
    (American Chemical Society) Taking inspiration from trees, scientists have developed a battery made from a sliver of wood coated with tin that shows promise for becoming a tiny, long-lasting, efficient and environmentally friendly energy source. Their report on the device -- 1,000 times thinner than a sheet of paper -- appears in the journal Nano Letters.
  • PETA International Science Consortium disappointed in denial of Dow appeal
    (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) The PETA International Science Consortium is extremely disappointed that the European Chemicals Agency Board of Appeal has upheld a decision that requires Dow Benelux B.V. to conduct a prenatal developmental toxicity study in rats. The study will use approximately 1,160 animals and expose pregnant rats and their unborn pups to the substance dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate in order to comply with the European Community's Regulation on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals.
