and slashed energy prices, there is a risk that toxic compounds in the fracking fluid can get into shallow aquifers via fractures in the bedrock.
But Clarens says fracking fluids could theoretically leak into aquifers, because the wells must be dug through shallow layers where the aquifers lie in order to reach shales. here is great potential for this technology to help improve the integrity of well bores,
says Clarens. think that will go a long way toward improving public perception of fracking

"It is something like changing water from liquid to ice; except the two phases we saw were very different from one another."
Most people know the ice, liquid and gas phases, and some are familiar with the different magnetic phases that store data in our electronic devices
The team calls this a"highly degenerate spin ice phase (Ice I)".But then they started to slowly cool the material down,
This is classified as the"charge-ordered phase (Ice II"."Cooled down even further, and the magnetic arrangement appeared to undergo another change-it was frozen almost, just like water.

#Tiny magnets mimic steam, water and ice Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) created a synthetic material out of 1 billion tiny magnets.
the so-called metamaterial exhibits phase transitions, much like those between steam, water and ice. This effect was observed by a team of researchers headed by Laura Heyderman from PSI."
The long-range order of water molecules increases in a similar way at the moment when water freezes into ice.""We were fascinated by the fact that our synthetic material displayed this everyday phenomenon of a phase transition,

#Viruses join fight against harmful bacteria In the hunt for new ways to kill harmful bacteria,
#Bacterium capable of aquifer decontamination characterized, cultivated for first time in Europe UAB researchers have identified in the Besòs river estuary (Barcelona, Spain) a bacterium of the genus Dehalogenimonas,
which opens the door to their production and application to contaminated aquifers. This bacterial genus was described first not long ago--in 2009--and only two strains had previously been isolated, in chloroalkane-contaminated aquifers in Louisiana
USA. This is the first description of the characterisation and culturing of Dehalogenimonas in Europe, though sequences of its genome have been identified in various locations,
and have shown its capacity to transform some of the chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons that are frequently found in aquifers,
and subsequent application in contaminated aquifers, using the strategy of bioaugmentation, which involves adding bacteria with specific catabolic capacities
Furthermore, if you take into account that they grow best in the anoxic conditions of aquifers, and that bioaugmentation is a low-cost, efficient technique, compatible with other remediation techniques,
A serious environmental problem Contamination of aquifers by organochlorine compounds is one of the most serious environmental problems in this country and the rest of Europe.
Once in the aquifers, they can build up for years because of their low biodegradability, posing a threat due to their high toxicity.

while trying to study earthquakes caused by iceberg calving when large chunks of ice break off glaciers.
Bartholomaus said the ability to identify these earthquakes, known as icequakes, varied over the season, and that they were much more difficult to detect during summer
investigating potential causes such as rainfall, iceberg calving and the movement of the glacier over the ground.
they discovered that the seismic vibrations being detected by the equipment was caused by meltwater percolating down through the glacier and weaving its way through the complicated plumbing system in the interior of the ice.
