- New Service to Fill Thousands of Lorries with Cargo, Reducing Their Carbon Footprint and Congestion.

Official estimates have revealed that a quarter of all lorries(1) and 15 per cent of vans(2) on Britain's roads are completely empty. That's over 112,000 lorries and 450,000 vans, releasing a shocking 36 million tonnes of CO2 a year. A clever new web site - http://www.shiply.com helps ensure that those vehicles already on the road, run full to capacity, whilst also saving consumers up to 75% off their shipping bill.

The best places to get accurate data about the world's ice shelves are not exactly the safest. Using satellites is not an accurate solution.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and Pennsylvania State University have created specially designed robots called SnoMotes to traverse these potentially dangerous ice environments. The SnoMotes work as a team, autonomously collaborating among themselves to cover all the necessary ground to gather assigned scientific measurements. Data gathered by the Snomotes could give scientists a better understanding of the important dynamics that influence the stability of ice sheets.

More than 34 percent of American adults — about 72 million people — are obese or overweight, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Scientists once hoped leptin, a hormone that sends the body chemical signals to stop eating and use stored energy, would be a weight-loss weapon.

Studies in thin animals looked promising but overweight animals and people didn’t respond the same way, likely because their bodies already overproduce leptin, causing them to develop resistance to the hormone.

But now University of Florida researchers say pairing leptin with just a minor amount of exercise seems to revive the hormone’s ability to fight fat again.

Clouds have typically posed a problem to scientists using satellites to observe the lowest part of the atmosphere because they block the satellite's ability to capture a clear, unobstructed view of Earth's surface.

But these "obstructions" are worth a closer look, as clouds and their characteristics actually serve a valuable role in Earth's climate. That closer look is now available by satellites comprising the Afternoon Constellation, or A-Train.

The five satellites – NASA's Aqua, Aura, CloudSat and CALIPSO and the French Space Agency's PARASOL – of the A-Train orbit only eight minutes apart and can be thought of as an extended satellite observatory, providing unprecedented information about clouds, aerosols and atmospheric composition.
