Cell generated power for 13 straight days through symbiotic interactions of two types of bacteria

For that purpose, researchers from the University of Granada and Mexico have used orange and grapefruit peels, residues which pose a problem for the food industry, given that they take up a great volume and aren't very useful nowadays

Although agricultural improvements have boosted food production in the past 50 years, drought and salinization threaten more than half of the planet’s arable land

Findings point to new biochemical strategies for increasing oil yield from crops grown to produce biofuels and biomaterials

Specially designed nanofiber solution easily converts non-woven mesh into see-through air filters that clean air, improve air flow, and offer UV protection

Fertilizers, animal waste, changes to atmospheric chemistry and warming soils all tied to increased ammonia over US, Europe, China, and India

Engineers have developed a new way to model and track where lead particles might be transported during the partial-replacement process of lead pipes, in an effort to keep the water supply safer

Modeling and data analysis done by researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology suggest that sea ice and snowfall changes have shifted China's winter monsoon, helping create stagnant atmospheric conditions that trap pollution over the country's major population and industrial centers

Study may be the first to provide quantifiable evidence that eliminating the overabundance of phosphorus will be critical for improving the quality of Wisconsin's lakes and rivers

Biomass has been a source of heat and energy since the beginning of recorded history

Researchers have shown how the community of bacteria present in the soil of land that had been cleared and grazed for 100 years was returned to its natural state just eight years after revegetation with native plants

Deeper soil layers more sensitive to warming than previously thought, Berkeley Lab scientists find
