A new study from the University of Haifa has found an additional link between Light At Night (LAN) and cancer. The researchers say their study results show that suppression of melatonin due to exposure to LAN is linked to the worrying rise in the number of cancer patients.

Proponents of organic farming often speak of nature’s balance in ways that sound almost spiritual, prompting criticism that their views are unscientific and naïve. At the other end of the spectrum are those who see farms as battlefields where insect pests and plant diseases must be vanquished with the magic bullets of modern agriculture: pesticides, fungicides and the like.
In a study that promises to fill in the fine details of the plant world’s blueprint for surviving drought, a team of Wisconsin researchers has identified in living plants the set of proteins that help them withstand water stress.
An innovative new venture has set out to basically turn urine into electricity.
Astronomers use Einstein’s gravitational lensing to learn more about the greatest puzzle of our universe - dark energy.
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a method for predicting the ways nanoparticles will interact with biological systems – including the human body.
A reporter with “Good Morning America” and researchers at Texas Tech University found no evidence of petroleum hydrocarbons on a sample of seafood from areas of the Gulf of Mexico affected by the BP oil spill. More science needed, say researchers, after testing for oil in seafood from Bastian Bay, La.
In trying to predict how species will respond to climate change caused by global warming, researchers and scientists are turning to comparative physiology, a sub-discipline of physiology that studies how different organisms function and adapt to diverse and changing environments. By comparing different species to each other, as well as to members within a species that live in different environments, researchers are learning which physiologic features establish environmental optima and tolerance limits. This approach gives the scientific community a “crystal ball” for predicting the effects of global warming, according to George N. Somero, Associate Director of Stanford University’s Hopkins Marine Station.
Like giant canaries in a coal mine, whales reflect the health of their environment. Now, the Bioacoustics Research Program at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, in partnership with NOAA, is placing marine recording units in the Gulf to listen to whales and document the state of that oil-threatened ecosystem.
