Results from a decade-long experiment into how much carbon dioxide (CO2) pine trees can soak up show that the trees need plentiful water and large scale fertilization to act as efficient carbon-sinks. Scientists from Duke University involved in the Free Air Carbon Enrichment (FACE) experiment told attendees at the Ecological Society of America conference that […]

Synthetic DNA Refined For Data Processing
Nature’s own data storage material – the DNA molecule – may lend a hand to the information technology industry as it faces demands for more compact data processing and storage circuitry. Richard Kiehl, from the University of Minnesota, has used DNA’s ability to assemble itself into predetermined patterns to construct a synthetic DNA scaffolding with […]
