Environmental Scientists Find Tree Combo For Carbon Sequestration
A research team found 31 hardy trees that sequester carbon efficiently for the New York region, mitigating against the impacts of high deforestation and carbon release into the atmosphere in that ... > more -
Environmental Engineers Use Algae To Capture Carbon Dioxide
Engineers have designed a simple, sustainable and natural carbon sequestration solution using algae. A team at Ohio University created a photo bioreactor that uses photosynthesis to grow algae, ... > more -
Carb-cutting Enzyme Stopped By Bean Extract, Endocrinologists Say
UCLA researchers have found an extract in white kidney beans may help the body stop carbs from breaking down into sugars. A digestive enzyme in the body normally acts like scissors, literally cutting ... > more -

Biological Engineers Generate Natural Gas with Bacteria
A new kind of waste digester uses two different strains of bacteria in different tanks. This would normally take place in the same environment, but microbiologists have now separated it into two ... > more -
Horticulture Engineers Take Years to Carefully Grow Bulbs
Of the 1,700 varieties of tulips, about 80 percent come from Holland, which exports more than $700 million's worth of tulips per year. Tulip bulbs take up to five years to fully form, and require ... > more -
Biologists Help Perfumers Capture New Scents from Nature
To increase perfumers' palette with new scents from flowers, biologists now use a device that captures smells. A plant is covered with a glass dome and vapor is extracted and later analyzed. ... > more -
Researchers Apply DNA Biology to Vaccination Technique
Spraying viral genes directly through the skin is a new technique that turns infinitesimal amounts of DNA into an effective vaccine. If approved for use in humans, the new procedure could save lives ... > more -
Plant Scientists Graft Apple Trees to Select Disease-Resistant Traits
Grafting -- an ancient way of cloning plants -- enables plant scientists to create new varieties of apples. The selected genetic traits allow trees to resist pests with less pesticides, and to make ... > more -
Soil Chemists Plant Ferns to Soak Up Backyard Poisons
Planting ferns can be a cheaper, greener way to soak up poisons such as arsenic from the soil. Ferns absorb arsenic through their roots and store it in their leaves, which can then be cut off. ... > more
