It's an odd twist. For scientists to determine if a cell is functioning properly, they must destroy it. This is what happens in X-ray fluorescence microscopy when biological specimens are exposed to ionizing radiation, which provides images with a level of detail that conventional microscopes just can't match. This exposure can change what is being imaged in profound ways, possibly giving false accounts of how the cell actually works. To address ...

Three potentially biodegradable plastic mulch products were evaluated by scientists over two growing seasons of broccoli to determine deterioration before and after soil incorporation. Pretillage mulch deterioration was evaluated in both growing seasons by rating the percent of visual deterioration. Post-incorporation mulch deterioration was measured for 13 months at the end of the first growing season. Results showed that two of the mulches coul ...

Vertical Bamboo Village is an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional skyscrapers. Bamboo is readily available in Asia, and when it is harvested responsibly it makes a fantastic low-impact building material. The bamboo gardens located around the project and on its roof provide bamboo that can be used to produce new parts for the building.Via Super Skyscrapers%Permalink |Add todel.icio.us | diggPost tags: "sustainable ar ...

Climate scientists have been predicting more intense seasonal temperature variations and storms for several years now and recent winter ice storms in the deep south of the US, as well as ‘super storm’ Sandy, seem to lend much credence to this forecasting. And although this past hurricane season was less than spectacular — discounting Sandy, Off-Shore Wind Farms Can ‘Tame’ Hurricane Winds, Surges, Stanford Study Finds [VIDEO] was originally post ...

The key characteristics of birds which allow them to fly -- their wings and their small size -- arose much earlier than previously thought, according to new research that examined closely the Paraves, the first birds, and their closest dinosaurian relatives which lived 160 to 120 million years ago. Researchers investigated the rates of evolution of the two key characteristics that preceded flight: body size and forelimb length. In order to fly, h ...
