A team of mathematicians from the Engineering and Architecture Schools of the University of Seville has created a method to design underground lines whereby a city's historical buildings are unaffected. The results of the study, which has just been published in the Journal of the Operational Research Society, offer possible solutions for the future underground line 2 in Seville. http://www.physorg.com/news177157222.html Other Sciences Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:00:01 EST news177157222 Paved parking lots and driveways make our lives easier, but they often create an easy pathway for pollutants to reach underground water sources and alter the natural flow of water back into the ground. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced a study that will investigate ways to reduce pollution that can run off paved surfaces and improve how water filters back into the ground. http://www.physorg.com/news175952358.html Space & Earth Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:39:52 EST news175952358 Australian researchers have discovered a huge number of new species of invertebrate animals living in underground water, caves and "micro-caverns" amid the harsh conditions of the Australian outback. http://www.physorg.com/news173346378.html Biology Mon, 28 Sep 2009 08:47:09 EST news173346378 Water vapor jets that spew from the surface of Saturn's icy moon Enceladus are not really geysers from an underground ocean as initially envisioned by planetary scientists, according to a study led by the University of Colorado at Boulder. http://www.physorg.com/news165068514.html Space & Earth Wed, 24 Jun 2009 13:23:22 EST news165068514 Part of Afghanistan's first international fibre optic cable has opened in a project that will make the country millions of dollars and boost regional connectivity, a cabinet minister said Thursday. http://www.physorg.com/news163348810.html Technology Thu, 04 Jun 2009 15:40:38 EST news163348810 (PhysOrg.com) -- New research shows that for millions of years carbon dioxide has been stored safely and naturally in underground water in gas fields saturated with the greenhouse gas. The findings - published in Nature today - bring carbon capture and storage a step closer. http://www.physorg.com/news157814050.html Space & Earth Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:14:36 EST news157814050 (AP) -- Travelers to Egypt will soon be able to explore the inner chambers of the 4,500-year-old "bent" pyramid, known for its oddly shaped profile, and other nearby ancient tombs, Egypt's antiquities chief announced Monday. http://www.physorg.com/news156442220.html Other Sciences Mon, 16 Mar 2009 17:10:57 EST news156442220 Cleaning up the dangerous contaminants - dry-cleaning fluids, solvents and petroleum hydrocarbons - found in underground water presents one of the most urgent challenges facing environmental science. A report issued today by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sheds light on a new way to monitor and improve the success of clean-up efforts using a technique developed at the University of Toronto. http://www.physorg.com/news152539505.html Space & Earth Fri, 30 Jan 2009 12:05:38 EST news152539505 (PhysOrg.com) -- Determining the identity of dark matter, the mysterious stuff thought to make up the vast majority of matter in the universe, is one of the most fundamental challenges facing modern physics. Through theory and experiment, scientists have been gradually determining what dark matter probably isn't composed of, and now recent results from one collaboration have ruled out another possibility. http://www.physorg.com/news152284387.html Physics Tue, 27 Jan 2009 13:13:52 EST news152284387 (PhysOrg.com) -- Like most sub-Saharan African countries, Niger faces problems meeting its water needs. As part of ESA`s TIGER initiative, satellite data are being used to identify surface and underground water resources in the drought-prone country. http://www.physorg.com/news151593363.html Space & Earth Mon, 19 Jan 2009 13:16:45 EST news151593363 (PhysOrg.com) -- Several research projects are underway to try to detect particles that may make up the mysterious `dark matter` believed to dominate the universe`s mass. But the existing detectors have a problem: They also pick up particles of ordinary matter - hurtling neutrons that masquerade as the elusive dark-matter particles the instruments are designed to find. http://www.physorg.com/news148131822.html Physics Wed, 10 Dec 2008 11:43:42 EST news148131822
