Guardian: Senior scientists have denounced a potential move to muzzle colleagues whose findings are disliked by the government. British researchers get green light to genetically modify human embryos Read more The proposal announced by the Cabinet Office earlier this month would block researchers who receive government grants from using their results to lobby for changes to laws or regulations. For example, an academic whose government-funded research showed that new regulations were proving particularly...

Scientists Pinpoint Areas Most Sensitive To Climate Change
2016-02-19 16:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Huffington Post: The prairie regions of central Asia and North America, rainforests in Central America and South America, and eastern Australia all have one thing in common: They are among the most sensitive land ecosystems on Earth when it comes to climate change. That's according to new research published in the journal Nature on Wednesday that identified where around the world vegetation has responded most to climate fluctuations. "What this approach now enables us to to do is to start to identify the most...

A New Spin On Quantum Computing: Scientists Train Electrons With Microwaves
2016-02-18 06:10:36| rfglobalnet Home Page
In what may provide a potential path to processing information in a quantum computer, researchers have switched an intrinsic property of electrons from an excited state to a relaxed state on demand using a device that served as a microwave “tuning fork.”

Scientists: Think more broadly to predict wildlife climate change survival
2016-02-16 19:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Scientists studying whether wildlife can adapt to climate change should focus on characteristics such as what they eat, how fast they breed and how well they survive in different habitats rather than simply on how far they can move, a conservation biologist at the University of Exeter says. In a paper published this week in the journal Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Dr Regan Early, a lecturer in Conservation Biology at the University of Exeter, and colleagues from Portugal, Canada and Sweden,...

Scientists discover new microbes that thrive deep in the earth
2016-02-15 21:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: They live several kilometers under the surface of the earth, need no light or oxygen and can only be seen in a microscope. By sequencing genomes of a newly discovered group of microbes, the Hadesarchaea, an international team of researchers have found out how these microorganisms make a living in the deep subsurface biosphere of our planet. Microorganisms that live below the surface of the earth remain one of the last great areas of exploration. Organisms that live there have not been grow in...
