The Consumer Product Safety Commission has received over 3,500 complaints from individuals in 38 states relating to defective drywall.

Many of the affected homes were built or repaired in 2006 and 2007 after the previous year's hurricane season increased the demand for drywall. As a result of the domestic shortage, the drywall suspected in many of these cases was imported from China. Consumers have filed numerous lawsuits ...

The technique could be used for oil exploration ...

Scientists are reporting significant changes in the distribution of coastal fish species in south-east Australia which they say are partly due to climate change.

These include warm temperate surf-zone species such as Silver Drummer and Rock Blackfish that are breeding and have become more abundant, and range increases in Snapper and Rock Flathead. ...

In the smooth, white, bunny-suited clean-room world of silicon wafers and solar cells, it turns out that a little roughness may go a long way, perhaps all the way to making solar power an affordable energy source, say Stanford engineers. Their research shows that light ricocheting around inside the polymer film of a solar cell behaves differently when the film is ultra thin. A film that's nanoscale-thin and has been roughed up a bit can absorb more than 10 times the energy predicted by conventional theory. The key to overcoming the theoretical limit lies in keeping ...

Australian and American scientists have found a way of shrinking tumours in certain cancers – a finding that provides hope for new treatments. The cancers in question are those caused by a new class of genes known as 'microRNAs', produced by parts of the genome that, until recently, were dismissed as 'junk DNA'. While much is still unknown about microRNAs, it is clear that they can interfere with how our genes are 'read'. The current finding identifies one particular microRNA (microRNA 380) that appears to disable the king of tumour suppressors, the P53 gene. So important ...
