[News & Analysis] Climate Change: An Unsung Carbon Sink

[News & Analysis] Climate Change: An Unsung Carbon Sink: Soil scientists in China are measuring calcium and bicarbonate ions in karst in an effort to figure out how much carbon dioxide has been taken out of the air. Karst could be a substantial inorganic carbon sink, experts say.

Contested 'faster-than-light' experiment yields same results

Contested 'faster-than-light' experiment yields same results: Paris (AFP) Nov 18, 2011



A fiercely contested experiment that appears to show the accepted speed limit of the Universe can be broken has yielded the same results in a re-run, European physicists said on Friday.

But counterparts in the United States said the experiment still did not resolve doubts and the Europeans themselves acknowledged this was not the end of the story.

On September 23, the European team i
