Study Saws Old Growth Forests Must Be Factored into Carbon Balances

An international study involving a team from LSCE (CNRS-CEA-UVSQ) has revealed that ancient forests, which accumulate large quantities of carbon over the centuries, should be taken into account in global carbon balance assessments

Study of Giant Grass May Lead to Better Corn Yields and Biofuels Revolution

A giant perennial grass used as a biofuels source has a much longer growing season than corn, and researchers think they’ve found the secret of its success. Their findings offer a promising avenue for developing cold-tolerant corn, an advance that would significantly boost per-acre yields

Microbiological Treatment Can Remove Selenium Pollution

A new study funded by the European Union has demonstrated that unsafe levels of selenium, sometimes referred to as an “essential toxin”, can be reduced by a microbiological treatment. With this method, microorganisms reduce selenate to the less-toxic elemental selenium, which can potentially be recovered from the process. An estimated 0.5 to 1 billion people worldwide suffer from selenium deficiency, even though many live near areas where levels of selenium have reached toxic levels.

New Wafer Cutting Method Slices Solar Power Costs

University of Utah engineers devised a new way to slice thin wafers of the chemical element germanium for use in the most efficient type of solar power cells. They say the new method should lower the cost of such cells by reducing the waste and breakage of the brittle semiconductor

New Book Says Asian and African Cities are the Template For Cities of the Future

Cities in Africa and Asia are creating a new template for urban development, says Binghamton University Sociologist Martin J. Murray. Though some may see them as backward, these are the cities of the future, he argues, with an entrepreneurial spirit and ever-shrinking public spaces
