Organic farming gains ground in ChinaBeijing (AFP) June 23, 2010 Ji Yunliang worked as a missile researcher at a large state-owned enterprise and later earned a doctorate in chemistry at a prestigious Beijing university. Now, he is running a small organic farm. In a country hit by a series of food safety scandals, the interest in organic produce is growing fast. Instead of using his cutting-edge technical expertise, Ji is employing traditional methods and old-fashioned manual labour to battle pests and weeds on his property on the northern outskirts of the C ... read more |

The experiment will run until November next year. The mood was serious and very determined in the Mars500 facility at the Institute of Biomedical Proble ... more 
Bonn, Germany (SPX) Jun 02, 2010On 3 June 2010, six 'astronauts' will commence a virtual trip to Mars. Sealed into a cramped container at the Moscow Institute of Biomedical Problems (IBMP) for 520 days, they will experience the rigours and isolation of long-duration spaceflight. This marks the start of the main part of the Mars 500 experiment, and on completion will constitute the longest ever space simulation experiment. ... more  
Madison WI (SPX) Jun 03, 2010Genetic abnormalities are most often discussed in terms of differences so miniscule they are actually called "snips" - changes in a single unit along the 3 billion that make up the entire string of human DNA. "There's a whole world beyond SNPs - single nucleotide polymorphisms - and we've stepped into that world," says Brian Teague, a doctoral student in genetics at the University of Wisco ... more |

STEREO, SOHO Spacecraft Catch Comet Diving Into SunBerkeley CA (SPX) May 26, 2010 Solar physicists at the University of California, Berkeley, have tracked a comet through the low solar atmosphere, deeper into the sun than ever before, before it presumably evaporated in the 100,000-degree heat. Using instruments aboard NASA's twin STEREO spacecraft, four post-doctoral fellows at UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory were able to track the comet as it approached the sun and estimate an approximate time and place of impact. STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory), ... read more |
