Sniffer Dogs Learn to Detect COVID-19

By Deborah Block | VOA on Feb 25, 2021   Featured, Health, National, National/World  

Sniffer Dogs Learn to Detect COVID-19

At a dog training center in Myakka City, Florida, Heather Junqueira, founder of BioScent, brings a four-year-old beagle, Noel, into a room with stainless-steel canisters, several containing samples of COVID-19.    Noel springs into action as she tries to find the ones with a smell that she knows will earn her praise and dog treats. […]

An explanation for the lack of blood oxygenation detected in many COVID-19 patients

An explanation for the lack of blood oxygenation detected in many COVID-19 patients

One of the physiopathological characteristics of COVID-19 that has most baffled the scientific and medical community is what is known as “silent hypoxemia” or “happy hypoxia”. Patients suffering this phenomenon, the causes of which are still unknown, have severe pneumonia with markedly decreased arterial blood oxygen levels (known as hypoxemia). However, they do not report […]

National Forensic Science Week 2020

By Chief David Kanaris | Alaska Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory on Sep 25, 2020   Featured, Op/Ed and the Editor  

National Forensic Science Week 2020

    When I tell people I’m a forensic scientist they either immediately start probing me for the latest gruesome autopsy story or ask if we found the guilty party. Fortunately for me I do neither of these things. What forensic scientists do is take evidence from a crime scene and use science to answer […]

Federal Government Releases National Near-Earth Object Preparedness Plan

By Tricia Talbert | NASA on Jun 20, 2018   Featured, Science/Education  

Federal Government Releases National Near-Earth Object Preparedness Plan

A new multiagency report outlines how the U.S. could become better prepared for near-Earth objects—asteroids and comets whose orbits come within 30 million miles of Earth—otherwise known as NEOs. While no known NEOs currently pose significant risks of impact, the report is a key step to addressing a nationwide response to any future risks. NASA, […]

Could Underwater Sound Waves be the Key to Early Tsunami Warnings?

By Michael Bishop | Cardiff University on Jan 24, 2018   Featured, Science/Education  

Could Underwater Sound Waves be the Key to Early Tsunami Warnings?

Mathematicians have devised a way of calculating the size of a tsunami and its destructive force well in advance of it making landfall by measuring fast-moving underwater sound waves, opening up the possibility of a real-time early warning system. The sound waves, known as acoustic gravity waves (AGWs), are naturally occurring and can be generated […]

Asteroid Flyby Will Benefit NASA Detection and Tracking Network

The asteroid is roughly the same size as the one that exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia in 2013. “It will come no closer than 4,200 miles (6,800 kilometers),” from Earth on Oct. 12, 2017 according to NASA. Image-NASA via Space.com NASA scientists are excited about the upcoming close flyby of a small asteroid and plan to […]

US Lawmakers Focus on Verifying Iran’s Nuclear Compliance

CAPITOL HILL—U.S. lawmakers emerged from a closed-door meeting with top intelligence officials giving widely diverging views on America’s ability to detect any cheating by Iran on the terms of last month’s landmark international nuclear accord. “No, I am not confident of that,” said Republican Bob Corker, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. “I don’t […]

New Tracers can Identify Frack Fluids in the Environment

By Cheryl Dybas | NSF, Time Lucas | Duke University on Oct 20, 2014   Featured, Science/Education  

New Tracers can Identify Frack Fluids in the Environment

Scientists have developed new geochemical tracers that can identify hydraulic fracturing flowback fluids that have been spilled or released into the environment. The tracers have been field-tested at a spill site in West Virginia and downstream from an oil and gas brine wastewater treatment plant in Pennsylvania. “By characterizing the isotopic and geochemical fingerprints of […]
