| Posted: 29 Jun 2012 06:19 PM PDT Mountain belts on Earth are most commonly formed by collision of one or more tectonic plates. The process of collision, uplift, and subsequent erosion of long mountain belts often produces profound global effects, including changes in regional and global climates, as well as the formation of important economic resources, including oil and gas reservoirs and ore deposits. Understanding the formation of mountain belts is thus a very important element of earth science research. |
| Scientists urge new approaches to plant research Posted: 29 Jun 2012 06:18 PM PDT If humans are to survive as a species, we must turn more to plants for any number of valuable lessons, experts say. |
| Bees shed light on human sweet perception and metabolic disorders Posted: 29 Jun 2012 06:18 PM PDT Scientists have discovered that honey bees may teach us about basic connections between taste perception and metabolic disorders in humans. By experimenting with honey bee genetics, researchers have identified connections between sugar sensitivity, diabetic physiology and carbohydrate metabolism. Bees and humans may partially share these connections. |
| Stealthy microscopy method visualizes E. coli sub-cellular structure in 3-D Posted: 29 Jun 2012 11:26 AM PDT A sub-cellular world has been opened up for scientists to study E. coli and other tissues in new ways, thanks to a microscopy method that stealthily provides 3-D, high-quality images of the internal structure of cells without disturbing the specimen. |
| Welsh reindeer is Britain's oldest rock art, U-series dating suggests Posted: 29 Jun 2012 11:25 AM PDT A reindeer engraved on the wall of a cave in South Wales has been found to date from at least 14,505 years ago -- making it the oldest known rock art in the British Isles. |
