Scientists Develop Virus to Prevent House Flies from Reproducing
2013-04-10 21:47:00| National Hog Farmer
Source: Agricultural Research Service If you raise livestock, you know that flies can be unwelcome visitors to your farming operation. In addition to being a nuisance, house flies are capable of transmitting animal and human pathogens that can lead to foodborne diseases, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Shigellabacteria. The clever pests are good at developing resistance to insecticides and larvae are often buried deep within their particular food source, therefore avoiding exposure to sprays. read more

European scientists propose worlds largest quantum network, between Earth and the ISS
2013-04-09 14:50:12| Extremetech
A group of European researchers has proposed the largest quantum network yet: Between Earth and the International Space Station. Such a network would see entangled photons transmitted over a distance of 250 miles -- two or three times greater than previous quantum communication experiments. Not only will this be the first quantum experiment in space, but it will allow the scientists to see if entanglement really is instantaneous over long distances, and whether it's affected by gravity.

Air travel to get bumpier as CO2 emissions rise, scientists say
2013-04-09 09:59:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
NBC: Turbulence on transatlantic flights will become more frequent and severe by 2050 as carbon dioxide emissions rise, leading to longer journey times and increased fuel consumption, British scientists said in a study on Monday. Any air traveller has probably experienced turbulence. It can happen without warning and is caused by climate conditions such as atmospheric pressure, jet streams, cold and warm fronts or thunderstorms. Light turbulence shakes the aircraft, but more severe episodes can...
Scientists Use Crowdfunding to Pay for Fracking Research
2013-04-09 06:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
National Public Radio: You`ve heard of Kickstarter, the website that allows everyone from budding filmmakers to student dancers, to nail polish designers, search for individual funders over the internet. Now, there are crowdfunding websites popping up that focus on scientific research. Two Juniata College professors are turning to one of these to fund their fracking research. Micro-biology professor Regina Lamendella and ecologist Christopher Grant, want to find out how fracking for Marcellus Shale gas impacts stream life...
