Scientists uncover high radioactivity near fracking site in Pennsylvania
2013-10-07 20:31:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Guardian: Scientists have for the first time found dangerous levels of radioactivity and salinity at a shale gas waste disposal site that could contaminate drinking water. If the UK follows in the steps of the US "shale gas revolution", it should impose regulations to stop such radioactive buildup, they said. The Duke University study, published on Wednesday, examined the water discharged from Josephine Brine Treatment Facility into Blacklick Creek, which feeds into a water source for western Pennsylvania...

Scientists create the first graphene-based holographic optical disc
2013-10-03 18:06:23| Extremetech
Scientists in Australia have succeeded in creating the first graphene-based optical disc. Owing to the magical properties of graphene, we're not just talking about a Blu-ray or DVD disc that has had its recording layer replaced with graphene, either -- we're talking about holographic storage with absolutely monumental capacity, intrinsically high security, and apparently the ability to recover the data even when the discs are broken.

Over 100 scientists warn Ecuadorian Congress against oil development in Yasuni
2013-10-03 17:13:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Mongabay: Over 100 scientists have issued a statement to the Ecuadorian Congress warning that proposed oil development and accompanying roads in Yasuni National Park will degrade its "extraordinary biodiversity." The statement by a group dubbed the Scientists Concerned for Yasuni outlines in detail how the park is not only likely the most biodiverse ecosystems in the western hemisphere, but in the entire world. Despite this, the Ecuadorian government has recently given the go-ahead to plans to drill for oil...
