A research team in South Korea has developed a cutting-edge catalytic and separation process that enables the simultaneous production of xylonic acid and xylitol from xylose under ambient conditions,

Flood operations have ended on the Highland Lakes, with the last of the flood gates closing Wednesday, the Lower Colorado River Authority said.

Migraine is usually the result of a perfect storm of factors: genetic susceptibility, hormones, stress, sleep, food and even the weather.

A barometer measures atmospheric pressure in millimeters or inches of mercury; the standard sea level is 29.92 inches of mercury. Barometric pressure drops as altitude increases. High pressure is indicative of clear, calm weather. Pressure drops are a sign of changing weather and sometimes incoming precipitation. Atmospheric pressure changes ...

Pioneering scientists discovered atmospheric pressure (also known as barometric or air pressure) in the 17th century, and determined a startling new fact -- that air actually has weight.

After daily temperatures topped out in the mid- to upper 90s earlier this week, extra cloudiness on Friday will help cool things down.

So here in Albuquerque, our atmosphere pressure is somewhere in the £12.5 per square inch range. So this is when the plungers coming, Andy, Right here. These are only for teaching purposes.

When barometric pressure drops, it’s not just your mood that can take a hit. Many people report headaches, joint pain, dizziness, and even nausea as the weather shifts.

Drs. Young Kyu Hwang, Jihoon Kim, and Kyung-Ryul Oh at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT) reported a novel one-pot catalytic reaction using platinum (Pt)-based transfer hydrogenation to convert xylose—a sugar commonly derived from agricultural waste such as corn cobs and birch bark—into two value-added chemicals: xylonic acid (a pharmaceutical precursor) and xylitol (a bioplastic and sweetener feedstock).
