Producing hydrogen from seawater
In her research on bone tissue engineering, Dr. Marta Cerruti has worked for years with graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms with incredible properties—electrical conductivity and the ability to support tremendous weight. Now, her quest to impr.....»»
The story of evolution written in phosphorus
Phosphorus is one of the elements that is crucial for the construction of organisms and their metabolism. Its cycle across the environments is also one of the best understood. However, it occurred to the Czech paleontologists Peter Kraft and Michal M.....»»
Better understanding needed of below-ground carbon allocation and its efficiency for nutrient acquisition
Plants allocate large amounts of photosynthetic carbon metabolites to roots and soil and thereby rely on the root-soil-microbe interactions to acquire soil nutrients such as nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) for aboveground growth......»»
Here’s What Happens When Countries Use Bikes to Fight Emissions
If everyone biked as much as the Dutch, we could cut nearly 700 million metric tons of carbon dioxide a year—the equivalent of most of Germany’s emissions......»»
