Researchers devise hidden dune filters to treat coastal stormwater runoff
2013-03-20 03:50:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: When it rains, untreated stormwater can sweep pollutants into coastal waters, potentially endangering public health. Now researchers from North Carolina State University have developed low-cost filtration systems that are concealed beneath sand dunes and filter out most of the bacteria that can lead to beach closures. "It was not economically feasible to use a tract of beachfront property to treat stormwater. Instead, we were able to devise a system that could be installed in an area that was...

Earth's interior cycles contribute to long-term sea-level and climate change, researchers find
2013-03-18 20:30:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Ancient rises in sea levels and global warming are partially attributable to cyclical activity below Earth's surface, researchers from New York University and Ottawa's Carleton University have concluded in an analysis of geological studies. However, the article's authors, NYU's Michael Rampino and Carleton University's Andreas Prokoph, note that changes spurred by Earth's interior are gradual, taking place in periods ranging from 60 million to 140 million years -- far less rapidly than those brought...

Researchers create self-powered artificial retina from optoelectronic polymer
2013-03-18 17:48:56| Extremetech
Interfacing neurons to electronics has already given us tremendous technologies including brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and deep brain stimulation (DBS). The bridges to optical interfaces for the brain have already begun to be built -- first with optogenetics, and more recently, directly through optically active materials. Researchers have now demonstrated that a biocompatible polymer can activate neurons directly using light, and can also be used to build an artificial retina.
