| Sustainable green alternatives to fertilizers could boost food, energy security Posted: 14 Aug 2014 09:38 AM PDT Research is looking at formulating sustainable fertilizers from renewable energy waste. This new area of research aims to produce a sustainable, environmentally-friendlier source of soil conditioner and crop fertilizer that could also reduce costs to farmers and potentially, with wide-spread take-up, help to slow down rising food prices. |
| Temporary tattoo biobatteries produce power from sweat Posted: 13 Aug 2014 07:31 AM PDT In the future, working up a sweat by exercising may not only be good for your health, but it could also power your small electronic devices. Researchers have designed a sensor in the form of a temporary tattoo that can both monitor a person's progress during exercise and produce power from their perspiration. |
| A new look at what's in 'fracking' fluids raises red flags: Some compounds toxic to mammals Posted: 13 Aug 2014 07:31 AM PDT As the oil and gas drilling technique called hydraulic fracturing proliferates, a new study on the contents of the fluids used raises concerns over several ingredients. The scientists say out of nearly 200 commonly used compounds in "fracking," there's very little known about the potential health risks of about one-third, and eight are toxic to mammals. |
