With millions of people in the United States eagerly awaiting those July 4 fireworks displays - and our Canadian neighbors doing likewise for their July 1 Canada Day celebrations - here's a prospect for those light shows of the future likely to ignite a smile on Mother Nature's face: A new generation of "green" fireworks is quietly making its way toward the sky. http://www.physorg.com/news164893208.html Space & Earth Mon, 22 Jun 2009 12:40:54 EST news164893208 (AP) -- Traces of a chemical used in rocket fuel were found in samples of powdered baby formula, and could exceed what's considered a safe dose for adults if mixed with water also contaminated with the ingredient, a government study has found. http://www.physorg.com/news157962218.html Medicine & Health Fri, 03 Apr 2009 07:38:23 EST news157962218 (PhysOrg.com) -- Salty, liquid water has been detected on a leg of the Mars Phoenix Lander and therefore could be present at other locations on the planet, according to analysis by a group of mission scientists led by a University of Michigan professor. This is the first time liquid water has been detected and photographed outside the Earth. http://www.physorg.com/news156526578.html Space & Earth Tue, 17 Mar 2009 16:36:48 EST news156526578 Researchers in Texas are reporting the first evidence from human studies that perchlorate, a common pollutant increasingly found in food and water, may interfere with an infant's availability of iodine in breast milk. Iodine deficiency in infants can cause mental retardation and other health problems, the scientists note. The study also provides further evidence that iodine intake in U.S. mothers is low and that perchlorate may play a key role. http://www.physorg.com/news143113302.html Space & Earth Mon, 13 Oct 2008 10:41:42 EST news143113302 (PhysOrg.com) -- Phoenix Mars mission scientists spoke today on research in progress concerning an ongoing investigation of perchlorate salts detected in soil analyzed by the wet chemistry laboratory aboard NASA's Phoenix Lander. http://www.physorg.com/news137250470.html Space & Earth Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:07:50 EST news137250470
