RETARDANT Nitrogen-heavy fertilizer mixed with water coats fuel to prevent burning. Iron oxide in the retardant gives it its orange color...
...After retrieving as many as 20 eggs from a woman by stimulating the ovaries with fertility drugs, researchers dip the eggs in a cryoprotectant (a kind of antifreeze) and then a sugar solution, which pulls water out of the cells by osmosis. Then the cell is stored in liquid nitrogen at -320[degrees]F until it is ready to be used...
...believes, saddles energy producers with too many rules and too little incentive to be clean. So in February Bush proposed new legislation to curtail power-plant pollution. His plan, which he dubs Clear Skies, ditches regulations that govern the major power-plant pollutants--mercury, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides--in favor of a "cap and trade" system. The market-oriented idea is to set nationwide targets for emissions reductions that are mandatory, but let industry decide how to comply...
Packed in vials and frozen in liquid nitrogen, the embryos will be hand-delivered from Boston IVF, a local fertility clinic, according to the facility’s scientific and laboratory director R. Douglas Powers...
...cannon which could fire a hundred kilometers and his travels to exotic locales like Egypt, Russia and Japan helped propel him to the forefront of European science at the end of the Edwardian age. In his spare time, he even found a financially viable procedure to extract nitrogen from the air for use in fertilizer. He eventually presented a theory—proven years after his lonely death—that the origin of the beautiful waves of the borealis were rooted in the Earth’s electromagnetic field and the energy from similar phenomena...
